50. Prognosis from the spring day

"Whew! ~~“

"Bump! ~~“

It was another powerful and heavy speedball hit, and Aoba Dodai High School's third batter hit Endo, and finally walked off the court with the bat with a helpless face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Endo returned to the rest area to put the bat away, Watanabe, who was sitting next to the bat stand and was preparing to play, suddenly asked, "Soon!?" “

Endo glanced at Watanabe, took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him and drank it, before slowly answering Watanabe's question: "Quick! ~~ It's faster than expected, and the ball is very powerful. “

"What a tough guy! ~“

"That's right! ~" Endo picked up the gloves at this time, and by the way, he picked them up along with Watanabe's and handed them to him, saying, "But even if it's hard to fight, we still have a way to solve it, pitcher!" “

"We're going to win!"

"Of course!"

After Watanabe and Endo looked at each other, they both laughed and touched their gloved left hands, just like the two players celebrating a chest after scoring a goal on the basketball court, but at this time Watanabe and Endo were not celebrating, more like encouragement!

The game continued, and in the first half of the second game, it was the time for the guard of Aoba Dodai High School again.

Before going on the court, Kasugamo was pulled by his friend Watanabe and said, "Boy, if you want to stand on the pitcher's mound faster, then you have to be able to predict every side ball path in advance when the pitcher faces the hitter faster!" But for this trick, I think you have to learn it, anyway, you don't want to have a chance to go to the pitcher's mound in this game, wait for the next game! ”

"I'll go, just ...... you can" Kasugamo was speechless to Watanabe's Dese at this time!

However, he was right, that is, although he had trained a lot during this time, he still couldn't be 100% accurate in his predictions on the spot, which also made Kasuga Yun want to stand on the pitcher's mound and throw the ball for an official game, but he also knew very well that his ball control skills had not reached a certain level, and his prediction of the match against various types of hitters during the game was 100% accurate, and he could not have the opportunity to go to the pitcher's mound.

Well, that fact did hit him!

At this time, Kasuga, who had been playing baseball for two months, learned more about the sport of baseball and the more he understood the things in the position of pitcher, the more he became more and more fascinated and interested in the position of pitcher, the ace position on the baseball field.

It's like a child who has been given a very novel toy and can't wait to play with it more deeply!

So after the game started, Kasuga, who was guarding at third base, began to put more effort into observing Watanabe's every pitch and predicting his ball path in advance than at the beginning of the game.

In the first half of the second inning, the first hitter in the field of Baishan High School was the last strong hitter in their center line.

Not to mention how Watanabe and Maki dealt with this guy named Imai, Kasuga-un on the third base began to put himself in the pitcher's mound and imagined how the first pitch would come if it was him.

Soon, the game officially began, Watanabe received the pitching code of the first ball, stepped on the board and threw the ball hard.

"Whew~~"

"Fastball, off the outside corner!" Almost as soon as Watanabe headed the ball out, Kasugamo made a prediction about the path of the ball.

"Good shot!"

"Very good, judged correctly! ~”

When Watanabe started throwing the second ball, Kasugamo predicted in advance: "It's a slider, hit the middle line and hit the outside corner!" ”

"Whew~~"

"Awesome~"

"Throw-in!"

"yes~~ I guessed right again!"

After guessing two goals correctly in a row, Kasugamo began to like this feeling a little bit by predicting the emperor's Fan, so he started a new round of observation and began to predict the results of the observations.

I saw that at this time, the hitter in the strike zone was standing relatively backward, and the posture and position of holding the stick with both hands looked very similar to the striking method of playing a long hit, so Kasugamo began to predict that Watanabe's next ball should be: finger fork ball, hit the low corner corner kick road!

"Whew~~"

Watanabe quickly threw the ball, and the ball gave Shirasugi High School's 5th batter no room to shoot, perhaps because the ball happened to hit the most uncomfortable spot on his hitting line.

But for these, the spring clouds on the third base pack don't care, he cares more about whether he guessed the prediction just now.

And the answer is...... Guess wrong!

Watanabe's ball actually used his newly unsealed stunt No. 1 - horizontal curveball.

And the direction of the ball road, Kasuga, also guessed wrong, and the direction of Watanabe's play was that the outside corner was low and just flew into the home plate area with the point where the good ball belt was grazing.

"Bad ball!" The referee's words also reminded Kasuga at this time that he had made a mistake in guessing.

This made Kasugayun a little depressed: I'm going, I actually shoot this kind of ball~~ What does this guy Watanabe think!?

Because he guessed Watanabe's second ball wrong, Kasugamo didn't know what Watanabe was going to do next, so he chose to observe the ball and see how Watanabe would solve the fifth strong shot of Shirasugi High School next.

Soon, Watanabe began to throw balls with raised arms.

"Whew~~"

The baseball was thrown from Watanabe's hand very fast, and it was a slightly faster speedball than Watanabe's first speedball.

It's just that this time the direction of the hit is not the lower corner, but the high position is a little higher in the outer corner close to the beater's shoulder.

"Pong! ~”

"Bad ball!"

Obviously, it was an obvious bad shot, and the 5th batter of Shirasugi High School wisely chose not to bat and earned the ball.

And Kasugamo was confused by Watanabe's shot, and he didn't understand what Watanabe was thinking: I'm going, and I'm throwing a bad ball again, what the hell are you doing!?

Fortunately, Watanabe didn't let Kasuga be confused for long, and he quickly threw the winning goal against Shirasugi High School's 5th base.

I saw that this was another high lob ball that flew out of the same way as the previous high lob bad ball, and the fifth batter of Baishan High School was also a little stunned when he saw this ball road. But in order to prevent any traps, he resolutely chose to swing his bat.

Soon the baseball flew over a distance of more than ten meters and crashed headlong into home plate.

But at this moment, the trajectory of the baseball's flight suddenly changed violently, and it fell violently from a high place with a deep arc.

"Whew~"

"Nani!? ~~ It is a horizontal curved ball!! ~”

Shirasugi High School's 5th baseball was completely deceived by the horizontal curveball, his bat swung too high, and the baseball eventually crashed about 1 hemisphere below his bat and crashed into the glove of catcher Maki behind home plate.

"Three good shots, batsman out!" The referee loudly pronounced the verdict.

"Squeak (hateful)~~ It's a horizontal curveball! ~"After the 5th swing of Baishan High School failed, he knocked his head with the bat full of remorse and scolded himself in a low voice: "I didn't even watch out for his hand, damn it......"

On the other side, after watching the last ball win and loss on the third base pack, Kasuga's head, which was still a little confused, immediately reacted and understood why Watanabe had just thrown two bad shots in a row.

Kasugayun secretly thought: I see, it was originally for the last horizontal curve ball to fight the winner, so before that, I had to throw a speedball, a horizontal curved ball to hang out a high-flying bad ball as a foreshadowing, so that the hitter could not easily judge the ball path At the same time, it also made the good ball belt that he could throw wider...... What a way!

Kasuga, who had learned another trick, was even more excited at this time, and he looked at Watanabe on the pitcher's mound with bright eyes, hoping that he would start throwing the ball soon.

And the game continued slowly under his learning and guarding......
