Summer National Tournament Nagano Qualifiers, First Round Akagi Junior High School Baseball Team VS Nagano Santai Junior High School. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The score was still 2:0, and Akagi was two points behind.

In the first half of the sixth inning, one out, there were people on third base, and it was the ace pitcher and fourth baseman Eijun Sawamura who came on the field to strike. Akagi Middle School has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to score!

Akagi Middle School is second to none in terms of striking strength, Sawamura and Hanakage are second to none. (Yang Ping belongs to the non-human among the friends, and is not counted in Akagi's regular strike lineup.) ）

"Sawamura, it's up to you!"

"Let's make a big shot."

The friends of the baseball team stood excitedly outside the shed one by one to cheer for Sawamura. The Akagi support group off the field is led by Hayada Baihe, and they are also singing and dancing to cheer up Sawamura.

"Baseball team, come on!"

"Young man, I'm optimistic about you."

"Sawamura, if you want to fight out, I'll give you a monkey ......"

……

At this time, Watanabe, who was standing at Santai Middle School in the pitcher's hill, pouted dissatisfiedly. To be honest, Watanabe, who looks a little vicious, is really envious and jealous of Sawamura's popularity in Akagi. Thinking that he is also a pitcher and a four-batter, the cheerleaders of Santai Middle School have not cheered him alone so far.

There was a little resentment in his heart, and Watanabe's pitch became sharper. He also reached a speed of 130 km, a speed that was just beginning in high school baseball, but it was already a rare fast ball in middle school. With this ball speed and two kinds of changing balls, Watanabe's strength as a pitcher is not inferior to Yasuzawa Xiu.

Of course, strength and popularity sometimes don't match. Watanabe's team performance and personal strength are not worse than An Zexiu, but when it comes to popularity, he is also a scumbag compared to An Zexiu. It's no wonder that he, who made this a world of faces.

The first ball was a bad ball from the outside corner close to the good ball belt, and Sawamura swung it out of bounds.

The second ball was a quick straight ball into the inside corner, and Sawamura's swing missed.

"Good shot!"

With just two goals, Watanabe cornered Sawamura. Once he was asked to make another good shot, Sawamura had to leave the game. Sawamura withdrew, and Santai could choose to escort Yang Ping and fight with the sixth baseman off-road construction division.

If the situation does turn out like that, Akagi will not necessarily lose, but he will lose a great opportunity to score, and Akagi's morale will inevitably suffer a heavy blow. It's hard to find another opportunity to turn things around.

So be sure to get on base!

Sawamura, who originally wanted to try to hit a shot and score first, did not hesitate to put on a short stick at this time.

Facing Sawamura, who has made up his mind, Watanabe feels ridiculous. Strike short hit is your patent? You can use it if you want. Against the average pitcher, this trick may be a killer weapon. But for pitchers who can curve the ball, the short stick is a matter of luck.

While beckoning the fielders to drive forward and guard, he gave the catcher a secret signal to throw a tricky curveball. In the face of Sawamura's short stick, no matter how confident Watanabe is, he has to be prepared.

Behind Sawamura, Yang Ping looked indifferent, his eyes were slightly closed, and a posture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face.

The main purpose of this year's summer competition is to train soldiers. Whether Sawamura listened to the code or played a short stick could not shake Yang Ping's determination to train the troops. He had also told Sawamura before to let him think independently and act freely as an ace and captain. Whether you lose or win this game, you will gain something for Sawamura.

Akagi, who is still a fledgling this year, is still very young, and as long as Sawamura can grow up before next year's summer competition, the era of Akagi's blockbuster will inevitably come.

……

No matter how much Yang Ping convinces himself, the opportunity to overtake is close at hand, if the players of Chicheng Middle School can't catch it, it's still a pity. Even if it is a military training, there is a gap between the first defeat and two more games.

Since he has a short bat, Sawamura will hit this ball no matter what, unless it touches a big bad ball.

Watanabe was very confident at this time, and once the ball in his hand was thrown, Sawamura would definitely play. Since you know that you are going to play, how can you throw a good ball at you.

The edge of the inside corner, a super low ball close to the good ball belt!

After the baseball was thrown, Watanabe's lips showed a faint smile. He is not known for ball control, and this ball is simply brilliant. The baseball is close to the knee edge of the low ball, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad balls.

Sawamura, who put out a short stick and waited for Watanabe to throw the ball. Suddenly put the bat back.

Seeing Sawamura's actions, not only the team members of Santai Middle School, but even the friends of Akagi were a little surprised!

In the case of two good balls, you still want to cheat the blow?

Crazy, right?

What others think, Sawamura can't take into account anymore. His mind at this time was full of what Yang Ping said when he looked for him last night.

If I'm completely blocked by the enemy, it's up to you to score points! Ace Lord!!

It's hard for you to improve. Why?

It's because your body, wrists are soft, your shoulders are soft, and you have unparalleled pitching talent. If you develop your quirky ball path thoroughly, you're bound to become a great pitcher!

At the same time, this talent also limits your swing. The joints are soft and the shoulders are soft, which means that when you swing the stick with all your might, your body will be slightly out of shape. Even if you see the path of the ball, when you swing the bat, it is difficult to hit the ball because of the shape of the body, arms, and joints.

A batter who can't hit a baseball can hardly be a strong baseball no matter what.

"So what to do?"

"Hit the stick! The less the bat swings, the less your body will affect you. With your eyesight, and arm strength. It's okay to play a normal long fight. Coupled with your invincible short stick, you'll grow into a very tough fighter. ”

Very tough beater, not super strong!

Sawamura, who is aiming for an ace pitcher, will naturally not be satisfied with ordinary blows, and asks unwillingly, "Then there is no other way?" ”

Of course! Sawamura is not the only pitcher with soft shoulders who can throw difficult quirk balls. It's not like the tough ace pitchers who are in the mixed profession haven't figured out a way to solve it!

Golden Rooster Independent Play and Synchronous Play!

How?

Tempered!

……

In addition to pitching, Sawamura practices the golden rooster swinging independently 200 times a day. Now it still can't be called a strong fight, but it's no longer just a simple short stick little prince.

Since I didn't have to be tempered, I aimed to fight!

Restricting Watanabe's path with a short bat, leaving him with the option to shoot inside corners, the fielders were pulled back forward. If Sawamura doesn't show it at this time, it won't be Sawamura.

The bat raised high slashed across the semicircle and struck the flying curveball with precision.

"Whoosh~"

……

Yang Ping, who was squatting behind Sawamura and waiting for the blow, smiled slightly: This kid is really lucky!

"Fly~ Fly out!"

"Don't mess around, life is so good...... I'll go, it's just a joke! ”

"It's been a long time!"

A three-point home run from the fourth batter would have been a very logical thing to do. But the friends of Akagi looked at Sawamura dancing in the strike zone as if they were ghosts.

The score is 3:2!

A three-point home run by Eijun Sawamura, the fourth base, helped Akagi turn the tide.

If he continues to suppress Santai's line in the next games. Nazawa Village is bound to be a blockbuster!

This exciting news is enough to be in the magazine of Baseball Weekly.
