63. Analysis, arrangement, and formation
Since that day, I went to a baseball club.,Every night after that, Kasugamo has time to call his senior Hayakawa Mitsuru with a phone call.,Ask him out to the club.,The two of them have a small stove-style special training for the accuracy of Kasuga's pitching.ć Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the special training time is only a few nights, not to mention, Kasuga's ball control has indeed improved day by day, which makes the teammates in the cowshed in the baseball club look a little surprised.
On Friday afternoon, today is the 7th day after the second round of the regional trials, and because of the time for students from each ward to travel back and forth and the time of classes, the date of the third round of the competition at Aoba Dodai High School is scheduled to be a week after the second round, which is also a weekend.
But unlike before, in the third round, Aoba Dodai High School didn't have to go far to compete in the regional selection tournament, but stayed in the base camp to play against the third-round opponents who came to challenge.
The opponent they will face in the third round is exactly what coach Kawano and the main players of the team predicted before the start of the regional qualifiers, the Tsurumi High School Baseball Club from Tsurumi Ward.
Tsurumi High School Baseball Club is an old rival with Aoba Dodai High School in the past few years in the spring and summer Kaga regional trials, so for the team of Tsurumi High School, some second-year students on the Aoba Dotai side are quite familiar.
At half past four in the afternoon, in the lounge of the Aoba Road Baseball Club, all the new members of the baseball club gathered here and sat on stools, looking up at a TV screen placed in the left corner of the lounge.
I saw a video of the game playing on the screen, and the side that was guarding the pitch was the opponent of Kasuga-yun and their next round of matches, Tsurumi High School, wearing a gray and white vertical striped ball uniform.
"Whew~"
"Smack~"
The TV set had just finished playing a famous stunt thrown by Tsurumi High School's ace pitcher Fukishi Aoya, the card ball.
At this time, Yuyuki Toji, a student of the logistics group in charge of collecting intelligence, stopped the video, then rewinded it back, and pointed at the video with a slow forward and pointed at the video commentary: "Hela, everyone, please look here, the whole action form is like this when blowing stones and throwing the ball.
When you see him pitching like this in the strike zone, it's hard to tell whether he's throwing a curveball or a stretch, because here (Toji points to the screen and just shows Toji's shot...... That's right, it's the last arm swing of the ball, this action is very similar to the last moment when he throws the curved ball, so the temptation is very strong, everyone should pay attention!
In addition, the stretching card ball of the blowing stone is also particularly tricky and deep.
Everyone understands that the usual throwing method and ball path of the stretching ball are similar to the finger fork ball, but the stretching card ball of the blowing stone is different, and the arm flick action of his last ball has the same habit when he throws the speed ball, finger fork ball and curved ball, so it is difficult for people to have a good defense against it!
And on the way to the ball, the stretching ball of the blowing stone will be more arcy and faster than the stretching ball thrown by others, but in detail, we have to really go to the hitting zone to experience it once before we can draw conclusions!
The above is my collection of information on Tsurumi High School's ace pitcher Fukishi Soya, thank you! ā
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
As soon as Yuki Toji finished speaking, everyone in the lounge immediately clapped their applause vigorously, giving encouragement and affirmation to his intelligence gathering work.
"Well done, Toji!"
"It's very detailed~~ It's a great help!"
"Haha...... With Toji-kun's data collection, what opponents are we afraid of hiding stunts! ~~ā
"It's just that...... With Tojijun here, the opponent has no secrets to say! ā
At this time, coach Kawano sat in the front row, holding a report card of the double blow training with finger cross ball that was specially formulated for the pitchers of Tsurumi High School in the past two days.
Maki-2 11, Izukawa 1 98, Kobayashi 2 55, Akai 2 38, Aso 1 88, Endo 2 22, Aihara 2 49, Yasuno 2 51, Hayakawa 2 19, Watanabe 2 36, Kasuga 1 35, Maki 2, Tsuchihara 1 99, Hoshino 2 24, Kudo 2 16, Sato 2 31......
Looking at this week's targeted strike training, coach Kawano has some calculations in his heart, but it is not complete. So he looked up and continued to share information about the battle at Tsurumi High School with Toji, who was standing in front of the TV: "Hey, Toji, I will give you a detailed list of the first army that Tsurumi may play." ā
Yuyuki Toji immediately nodded in agreement: "Hai, coach! ā
Then he first reminded his assistant on the side to switch the video to another one, and after the screen was broadcast, he pointed at the characters in the video one by one with a whip and gave a detailed introduction: "According to our intelligence collection these days, the list of Tsurumi High School's battle formations may be as follows, please look at the screen...... 1 Batter Fujimoto, a guy with a fast foot, is said to have won a track and field competition in junior high school, and is good at playing speedballs and curveballs; 2. Hiroki Kanano, the 2nd baseman, has the strongest comprehensive striking ability in the team, is good at playing a variety of different ball paths, and the ball selection is also very accurate, but the strength is slightly insufficient, and the blow can generally only hit the guerrilla area and near the outfield sideline, which is his weakness; 3 bats on the Yanmars, a strong hitter, with a comprehensive batting rate of 2 into 33 ranking 4th on the team, with the ability to hit home runs, accurate ball selection, and a cool head; 4 bats Kochi Tosheng, strong hit, the only guy in the new team to hit 3 home runs in one game; 5. Hiroki Kawada, a strong hitter, good at hitting all kinds of balls, the strongest hitting ability in the team, is the number one enemy on base; 6 batter Yusuke Shirota, excellent short-hitting skills, with an average success rate of 1.35 bases in a game;7 batter Tomoshi Tsukimura, a former member of the Kendo club of Kunaka Middle School, has outstanding striking ability and is good at hitting all kinds of balls, and is a terrible goodbye hitter; 8 batters Kenji Hamatani, who is above the level of short and long hits, is good at using different batting skills to confuse pitchers into making wrong judgments, so as to throw the ball away;9 batter Hakata Kamaru, long hitter, has a combined batting rate of 2.29%, and has the ability to hit a home run with one shot, and is good at fastball, slideball, Three kinds of ball path shots in the curveball!
The above is the list of fighters who may be in the battle of the first army of Tsurumi High School!
There are a few other pure hitters, and according to our analysis, their strike rate for Hayakawa-kun and Watanabe-kun is not very good, so I won't talk about it for the time being, but if you need their information, you can come to me and watch it.
I'm done with my intelligence analysis, thank you! ā
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Another round of applause was given to Yuki Toji.
After a while, coach Kawano stood up and turned to look at all the students in the baseball club, and said, "There are only three games left in the regional selection tournament, and our next opponent is Tsurumi High School, if we are lucky enough to win this one, then we will face the strongest opponent in this selection tournament - Sanshin High School!"
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to say anything superfluous, Sanjin High School, I think everyone here knows very well what kind of team this is.
But even so, it's fun to play, isn't it!?
Baseball is a kind of competitive sport that directly goes heads-up and group fighting, which tests not only the ability of the individual to be outstanding, but also the spirit of unity and cooperation of everyone in the entire team. Regarding these two points, I believe that we will never lose to any high school in the prefecture, right!? ā
"Boom~~" everyone in the baseball club gathered and shouted.
"That's good~" Coach Kawano announced loudly at this time: "Then I will announce the starting list for tomorrow's game...... 1 batter Akai, 2 bats and 3 baseman Kobayashi, 3 batter Yasano, 4 bats and 1 baseman Aihara, 5 bats shortstop Makaki, 6 bats pitcher Hayakawa, 7 left fielder Hoshino, 8 bats Nakamidfield Sato, 9 bats right fielder Endo! ā
