The success of the continuous hitting and the success of stealing the base not only greatly increased the confidence of Kasugamo to play well on the court, but also honed his skills and gained a lot of game experience. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, at this time, Kasuga, who was in a very excited and excited state, had no idea that the coach Kawano, who was in the rest area, had already started to assign homework for his next lesson!

Kasuga, who has already reached third base, will devote all his energy to the game and carefully observe the situation on the field: there are people on first and third base, two are out, and the hitter is Senior Ohara...... Looks like I really have a chance to score! Hey hey~~ Score!!

As soon as Kasugayun thought that he would be able to score points in his first official game of the Spring League, he didn't want to mention how energetic he was, so he bent down and lowered his center of gravity, looking like he was ready to forcibly steal the base for everyone again.

At this time, the two logistics students of Aoba Dodai High School who were standing in the instruction area on both sides of the first and third bases of the court immediately gave different tactical instructions to Akai and Kasuga on the first and third bases after receiving the tactical sign language code from coach Kawano.

I saw that on the third base, the logistics student in the instruction area next to Kasuga-yun came to Kasuga-yun's side and said only one sentence to him before the game restarted: "Kasuga-kun, Ohara-kun will definitely hit the ball out later, so as soon as you see the ball flying, you quickly try to run back to home plate and step on the board to score before the opponent receives the ball, understand!?" ”

"Department, I know, I'll work hard!" Kasugayun nodded and responded solemnly in a low voice.

On the other side, the match began as soon as both sides were ready.

On the first shot, the pitcher of White Cedar High School threw a bad shot, and although the ball was fast, it was obvious that the good ball that missed the ball flew almost to the ground into the catcher's glove.

When it came to the second ball, Inuya chose to play a high lob ball.

It was also a fast ball, but the ball was higher than the shoulders of the hitter, Kobayashi, so Kobayashi wisely chose to continue to let go of the ball.

At this time, the blow of the dog tooth to Xiao Lin actually used the number of two useless balls, but the effect of these two useless balls is very huge, because after the hanging of these two balls, Xiao Lin is also a little unable to guess where the next good ball of the dog will be thrown.

At this time, seeing the two bad shots thrown by the pitcher of Hakusan High School, Aoba Dodai High School, not to mention the coach Kawano, frowned, and even the other students in the rest area saw a little eyebrows: Is Baishan High School going to change the playing style of the guard!?

They all looked at Coach Kawano and asked a little worriedly: "Coach! This ......"

However, when these worried people saw that coach Kawano was already playing tactical sign language through Akai on first base, and then conveyed one hand to Kobayashi who was standing with his back to them in the strike zone to see it clearly, everyone's hearts were relieved a lot, and everything was waiting for the next ball to shoot how the two sides would face off!

Back on the court, because he saw that the opponent's second baseman Ohara was holding a wooden bat, the two of Shirasugi's throwing partners immediately received the password from the coach in the sideline rest area, and temporarily changed their pitching style!

As we all know, there are three common sizes of bats in baseball, and they represent three different striking styles and effects!

Wooden bats, mostly made of ash wood whole, but also bats made of maple;

The characteristic is that it has a lot of wind resistance when swinging, which makes it more difficult to hit the baseball smoothly than the other two types of bats. However, it is precisely because of the large demand for the power output of the batter's hands and arms when shooting, and it is easy for the hitter to control the direction of the shot, forming the advantage of a high base rate after hitting, which is widely used by players in professional games.

Metal bats, generally made of aluminum or aluminum alloy;

It is characterized by low wind resistance, easy swinging, and it is very easy to hit the ball long distance once it hits, so it is often used by strong hitters on the team's playing line. However, because the swing is fast, it is not easy to control the direction and force of the ball flying out after hitting the ball, and it is easy to cause injuries to the pitcher or other players on the field, so the application of metal bats in general professional games is much less than that of wooden bats!

The third kind of bat is a composite bat, mostly made of bamboo, carbon fiber and other materials, the striking effect is good, both the striking distance of the metal rod, and the characteristics of the easy control of the wooden bat, it can be said that the advantages of the above two kinds of bats in one of the bats.

However, even so, there is a disadvantage of composite bats, that is, if the batter cannot accurately hit the sweet spot of the bat (the largest diameter of the bat in the area where the last end of the bat hits back about 1/3) when swinging, the hitter will be hit by a greater counter-shock force than when the above two bats are struck.

Therefore, composite bats are usually used in amateur games, while batters prefer to use wooden bats in professional games.

At this time, Shirasuki High School can see that the last hitter from Aoba Dodai High School in this game is actually hitting with a wooden bat, and the purpose is naturally self-evident is to make the batter return to home plate with a stable hitting output!

In this regard, the response strategy of Baishan High School is to let the two canins who cast the two immediately change their throwing methods, and replace the original suppressive throwing method with tactical throwing. In other words, Inuya at this time has changed from the style of going straight and suppressing opponents with ball speed all the time in the game to a throwing style like his opponent Watanabe who uses various variations of different ball paths to make the hitter guess his next ball path and finally lose.

After Kobayashi standing in the strike area saw the change of Inuya, he didn't say he was too worried, and he still played how he wanted, which was also the tactic that the coach just conveyed to him through Akai on the first base: No matter how the opponent changes, just concentrate on the way of the dog's fastball ball and strike!

That's right, what Kobayashi is waiting for at this time is exactly the speed ball path used by Inuya to attack when he will throw a good number of balls.

So for the third ball, the catcher of the White Shirt High School gave such a matching shot: a high flying ball in the inside corner, suppressing the main, and throwing a good ball to lure the hitter to the bat!

Inuya nodded, and then he solemnly glanced at the positions of Akai and Kasuga on the first and third bases, and after making sure that they had no problems, he began to step on the board and throw the ball with a fixed throw.

"Whew! ~”

Due to the need for more ball control, the speed of the third ball was significantly reduced, but the speed of 138 km/h was also recorded by the logistics students with speed guns in the rest area of the two teams.

The ball flew straight to the inside corner of Kobayashi's body to the point where the shoulder was down, and Kobayashi hit it very hard, so he held back and let it go in the end.

"Pong! ~”

"Good shot!"

After the referee announced the number of good balls, Xiao Lin secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, he knew that after he didn't play this ball, the opponent would have more than enough to defend and attack in the good ball belt.

On the fourth ball, the dog tooth continued the tricky hanging ball style just now.

This time, his goal was still to take advantage of Kobayashi's low height (Aoba Dodai Kobayashi's height was only 160 cm), and the throw of the high lob ball to the outside corner was knocked out of bounds by Kobayashi's bat, which scared both teams into a cold sweat.

On the 5th goal, Inuya suddenly changed his strategy and threw a speedball with a speed of 142 km/h in the middle of the ball, which almost deceived Kobayashi and got a good number of balls, but was destroyed by Kobayashi with a stick out of the left boundary.

At this time, the situation of the shooting duel on the field has come to 2 bad balls and 2 good balls, and Inuya still has a chance to attack with a bad ball, so this time Xiao Lin, who was standing in the strike zone, was chased by Inuya and forced to do 50% of the choice to strike.

The situation is obviously unfavorable to the side of Aoba Dodai High School, so coach Kawano immediately sent Akai a tactical instruction to steal the base, and in the next two pitches were because of Akai's stealing of the base, so that he had some hesitation to shoot, and was easily destroyed by Kobayashi The two speedballs that were supposed to earn a good number of balls were destroyed.

And the dog tooth is to the first base before the pitch to pass 5 balls to the Akai to suppress the akai, but unfortunately the fast foot Akai is not bird the dog tooth pass suppression at all, as long as he sees the dog tooth stepping out, he immediately started to steal the base.

When it came to the 8th ball that Inuya threw at Kobayashi, Kobayashi finally seized the opportunity to slow down the speed of a shot to only 137 km/h, and the bad ball that hit the ball high in the inside corner reached out, and the ball flew out with a high shot from the diagonal bat.

"Smack! ~”

Completely different from the striking sound of a metal bat, Kobayashi's wooden stick hit the baseball with a crisp knocking sound.

After the sound passed, the baseball pulled out a sharp arc and flew towards the right guerrilla zone.

The right shortstop of Baishan High School reacted quickly and immediately rushed towards the flying baseball, but because the baseball flew at a height of nearly 3.5 meters higher than a person, the shortstop failed to intercept the ball in the guerrilla zone at the first time.

When it comes to the outfield, the baseball falls to the ground faster than the outfielder...... In other words, the final landing point of baseball is the position on the boundary between the right guerrilla zone and the outfield area, and it just hits the gap between the garrison of Shirasugi High School, forming a hit!

Seeing this, everyone at Aoba Dodai High School in the sideline rest area exploded and shouted: "Run!~~"

"Run, run~~"

Especially Kasuga, who had never dared to move on the third base bag, heard the shouts of his teammates in the command area next to him, and he hurriedly ran towards the home plate area.

After running back to home plate all the way and stepping on the home plate, he quickly ran back to the rest area without even thinking about whether he had scored or not, and stood on the edge of the guardrail to watch who won and who lost in the end.

But before he could see the victory, the catcher Maki who was waiting for Kasugamo to come off the court on the sidelines had already come to him, handed him gloves and a baseball and said, "Okay, rookie, you did a good job, but you don't have to care about the next game, accompany me to practice catching a few balls!" ”

"Ah......h

"Ahh ”

"Ahh ~~”
