66. The pitcher's beat

"Aoba Dodai High School's No. 2 batter, third baseman Kobayashi Haragi, back number 2!"

As the stadium announcer sounded, Akai and Ohara, who had just been eliminated by the strikeouts, quietly exchanged two sentences when they passed by on the sidelines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Be careful, he's tricky." Akai was walking off the field and reminded Kobayashi who was about to play.

Kobayashi immediately asked, "What's his way to the ball!?" ”

Akai replied, "If you play with deception, the opponent's ball speed will be so fast that you won't have time to catch it, but if you hit it with a regular play, his ball will be strengthened before entering the base, so be careful!" ”

Kobayashi asked again: "What about the change ball!?" ”

"The change is even stronger than you think!" After saying this, Akai walked down, because he had already shared all the information he knew with Kobayashi.

On the other side, after Kobayashi walked to the strike zone, he stood at the back of the strike zone, his weight was placed on the side behind the catcher, and the other foot stood slightly on tiptoe in a posture to observe the strike.

Seeing this, Tsurumi High School's pitcher Fukishi couldn't help frowning a little, but he didn't feel much jealousy and trouble about it, and just frowned.

Soon the catcher gave the ball code for the first ball, and Fukishi was a little surprised when he saw it, because the match code given by his catcher partner was a finger fork in the middle and a bad ball to induce the opponent to hit.

Blowing Stone nodded in agreement, and then he stepped on the board and shook his arm, and then threw the ball out of his arm with great force.

Here, in the strike zone, Kobayashi immediately predicted that this could be a ball that hit the middle of the field at the moment when the baseball was thrown by the pitcher's blowing stone; Immediately after the baseball began to fly out of the distance, Kobayashi's mind immediately had a second prediction of the incoming ball as a ball in the middle of the lower path of the speedball.

But when Kobayashi began to wave his hand and prepare to strike, the baseball suddenly fell as soon as it flew near the base.

Finger Fork Ball......

Although it may seem like a lot of descriptions, the actual process takes less than a second!

It was in such a short period of time that Kobayashi retracted the idea of coming up with a bat, and watched the baseball finally catch the ball into the glove with the hand's gloves almost touching the ground.

"Bad ball!"

Not to mention how the referee's judgment made the players of the two teams feel, on the side of Tsurumi High School, Fukishi and his catcher partner both looked at Kobayashi's keen selection with a hint of admiration: There is no shot, it seems that the second baseball selection of the Aoba Dojo has a set!

So the catcher of Tsurumi High School immediately had the idea of the next ball, he squatted and put his hand between his legs to play the second ball code, and Fukishi nodded with a smile after seeing it.

It's another boom-arm throw, and this time the ball thrown by the blowing stone is an inside corner, but the angle is hanging upwards almost as high as the shoulder of the blow Kobayashi.

And not only is it hanging high at an angle, but Tsurumi High School's pitcher Fukiishi uses a curved ball on the type of ball, so Kobayashi, who was standing in the strike zone after the ball was thrown, looked like the ball was floating in the direction of his head.

This ball is scary, if ordinary people see such a baseball flying towards them at high speed, it is estimated that anyone will involuntarily have the idea of being afraid, and the body will naturally avoid the baseball.

But at this time, the hitter Kobayashi was not frightened by the incoming ball at all, and stood motionless in the strike area, waiting for the baseball to fly into the base area, and he immediately swung the bat and hit it.

"Great! ~”

Sure enough, the ball was hit by Kobayashi, but the on-field guards at Tsurumi High School didn't worry too much, because they all saw that the ball flew in a very different direction after being hit, and the brush flew out of the left bounds and was caught by a fan in the audience with his own gloves.

"Throw-in~~"

"Ah~~ It's a little dangerous!"

"Be careful, pay attention!"

"Concentrate on the beater, blow the stone, you can do it!"

"Xiao Linjun, you can do it, hurry up and fight!"

"It's okay, come again!"

"Good fight, come on, Kobayashi-kun!"

After seeing the second ball being knocked out, the players of both teams couldn't help but get a little nervous and shouted one after another, cheering for their pitcher Blowing Stone and the hitter Kobayashi.

In the third-ball duel, Fukishi suddenly threw a speed ball to deceive Kobayashi and failed to swing the bat to get a good number of balls.

Then on the fourth pitch, Fukishi began to make use of his initial change ball, a low ball from the outside corner to win the game.

Unfortunately, in the end, the ball was slightly off the good ball belt, and the referee shouted that the verdict came out: "Bad ball! ”

At this time, the pitcher of Tsurumi High School faced the 1 and 2 batters of Aoba Dodai High School, and had used up 12 balls to his current position, which was not a good thing, so the coach standing in the rest area of Tsurumi High School immediately gave instructions to the pitcher to solve the defense of the first game as soon as possible: Blow the stone seriously, your ball count is over!

Seeing that the coach's face was not very good, Tsurumi High School's pitcher Blowing Stone's little heart couldn't help but shrink and was frightened, so he immediately changed the style of blowing the stone on the next ball, and threw a slider with a ball speed of just over 140, so that Kobayashi had no choice but to watch the baseball fly into the catcher's glove, and regrettably was knocked out of the game.

At the same time, after this powerful slide, almost everyone's hearts on the Aoba Daotai side were frightened, and they were all secretly thinking: En!? ~~ The ball has become stronger, is this ~~ a serious situation!?

"The 3rd batter of Aoba Dodai High School, catcher Katsuhei Anno, back number 3!"

Although it was their turn to play the center line at this time, and it was also one of the three people with the highest batting rate in the pre-game change ball training for Tsurumi High School pitcher Fukishi, everyone in Aoba Dotai was actually very nervous about Anno Katsuhei's on-court strike, and they didn't know if Anno would be able to successfully hit the base.

"Anno-kun, come on!"

"Definitely want to play out, you must go to base, please captain!"

"Come on, Captain, we believe in you!"

"Oh~ Leave it to me!" Anno packed his tickets to his teammates before he came on the court.

But after turning his head, his expression when he faced Xiao Lin, who was eliminated, was not as relaxed as when he was to his teammates, but with a solemn expression, he first exchanged information with Xiao Lin: "How!?" ”

Kobayashi said: "Very strong, the last ball just now may be the level of his real strength, be careful!" And the change of the slide is very violent, it can be expected that his change of ball path should be very strong, pay attention! ”

"Yo Xi, I see!"

As soon as Anno stepped onto the strike zone and was ready, the blowing stone on the other side immediately stepped on the board and pitched after his catcher partner played the ball code.

"Whew! ~~”

"Pong! ~”

The first goal Anno didn't come out, and he watched the baseball fly into the glove to make observations.

Sure enough, the first ball Tsurumi High School's blowing stone gave Yasuno a good glimpse of his strength, and a speedball with a speed of just 140 hit the side of the outside corner and crashed into the catcher's glove.

And although Anno had already predicted the ball as soon as he shot it, although Anno had the idea of hitting the stick at such a fast ball speed, his body's reaction was half a beat slower, so he simply didn't give the opponent a good number of balls.

"Whew~~ What a fast ball speed!" An Zhi thought that he would wait for the second stick to hurry up.

At this moment, the corner of Anno's eyes suddenly saw a sign language code that coach Kawano secretly gave him in the rest area: Anno, give up the blow in this attack! Test the rhythm of your opponent's pitch with a beat......

Yasuno was a little surprised when he saw it, he didn't expect coach Kawano to make such a sudden decision just after the game began. But the game didn't wait for anyone, so he hurriedly packed up his emotions and concentrated on facing the game and completing the tactics arranged by the coach.

As a result, Anno will put more concentration into the first ball than at the beginning, and he silently counted the beats in his heart as soon as he saw the pitcher blowing the stone and stepping on the pitcher's board: 1~~

When Blowing Stone raised his legs and raised his hands behind his head, An Ye silently recited a second sound in his heart: 2~~

Then, when Fukishi stretched out his foot, Anno counted to 3......

When the arm ball was thrown, Anno counted to 4......

At the same time as the baseball crashed into the catcher's glove, Yasuno just silently recited the number 5 in his mind, and remembered that the ball that was thrown by the blowing stone was a slippery ball, and the ball was biased towards the waist of the inside corner.

5 beats!? ……
