164. Command strike

"Whew! ~”

"Pong! ~”

"Three good shots, batsman out!"

On the court, Kasuga, the 9th batter of Aoba Dodai High School who was standing in the strike area, walked towards the rest area with a look of regret with a look of regret. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sorry, Coach, I didn't get my chance to get on base! ~" Kasugamo said apologetically to coach Kawano.

And coach Kawano stood there with his chest crossed and glanced at Kasuga, before saying: "Go, if you fail as a hitter, use your identity as a pitcher to get back the failed field with perfect defense!" ”

"Hay! ~”

In the final battle of the regional selection tournament at the municipal level, in the second half of the third inning, after Kasuga, a 9-batter from Aoba Dodai High School, came on the court, although he relied on a temporary cramming method, he successfully deceived 2 good shots with a half-hung posture.

However, the final result was still that Kasuga-yun was attached to the pitcher Tanihara who was attached to the gods, and he easily returned to the rest area with only 5 shots.

This result came as no surprise to everyone on both sides.

After all, Kasugamo has only played baseball for more than half a year, and his experience in all aspects is very limited.

And even if Kasugayun has a little eyesight, but if baseball is really so good to play, then baseball will not make all ball sports fans around the world unanimously say: baseball is the most difficult sport to score among all ball sports!

Cleaning up the feelings of some loss in his heart, Kasugamo picked up his gloves from his seat again and put them on, and walked on the field again!

This time, he changed back to his true colors and appeared, and as soon as he came up, he gave the first 1 and 2 batters of the Shenda High School a hard dismount.

Among the 1 and 2 batters who came on the court to strike, the 1st batter, Orihara, was prepared to face all possible problems in his heart when he faced Kasuga's pitch for the second time, but when he really came on the court to strike, he found that he still underestimated the strange and irregular ball path of Kasuga's Thousand Illusion Ball.

The first ball was thought to be a straight line of a speedball, but when he swung his bat, he found that the ball changed lines and floated up before entering the base, and the bat hit the back to form a boundary.

When the second ball came, Orihara thought that it might be a downward change ball, so he swung a short stick and hit it according to the method of hitting the finger fork ball.

As a result, the hit was hit, but Orihara was the best hit point that couldn't be grasped, and the baseball gave the bat K harder, rolled over his head and was knocked off the pitcher's mound by Kasuga, and passed the ball to the hands of Sagahara at first baseman and easily eliminated him.

Then, 2 batters shortstop Takashima fielded.

He was also prepared, and when he came up, he swung his stick hard.

But he did useless work, and he was also knocked out by three consecutive swings in the number of balls.

Seeing this situation, the coach at the end of the Shenda High School couldn't sit still, he first whispered a few words in his ear to the 3 strong batters Hojo who was about to play, and then after Hojo came to the court and set up a posture, the coach Shiraki in the rest area watched the Kasugamo on the pitcher's mound and began to fight.

This time, the plan on the side of Shendai High School is to carefully observe the pitching action of Kasugaun, the pitcher of Aoba Dodai High School, by the side, and then give an instant prediction analysis to the hitter Hojo on the court before the next ball arrives, so that Hojo can make a relatively accurate blow to the ball situation of the previous goal.

Command strike is the name of this kind of coach who guides the hitter in the strike zone to strike the offensive tactic!

This tactic sounds lofty, but it's actually a rotten tactic on the baseball field!

Generally, the coach's vision will be higher than that of his players in the game, and then he is much more experienced, so as a team coach in important games, in the offensive half of the game, he usually uses this tactic very frequently to direct his players to attack, so as to improve the probability of scoring.

As for why Shiraki, the coach of Shenda High School, has not used this tactic much before, it is because he fully believes that his players are strong enough to face every opponent before them and successfully win the game.

So the tactics of on-site guidance like this are naturally not done!

But right now, the strength of the strong pitchers of Aoba Dotai High School made the coach of Deshen University High School Shiraki have a certain amount of fear, so he decided to guide on the spot! ~

On the first ball, coach Shiraki asked Hojo, the three batters on the court, to let go of a ball for observation.

I saw that the baseball was a non-changing speedball ball from the low position in the outside corner and went into the base, and Hojo didn't swing the bat, but he was already secretly thinking about what the chances of successfully hitting the ball out if he hit it with a bat.

"Pong! ~”

"Bad ball!"

Because of the first ball, Kasuga Cloud didn't control the ball well, so the first ball threw a good ball with a bad ball count.

At this time, Hojo, who was standing in the strike zone, understood that the coach in the rest area asked him to let go of another ball through his teammates in the guidance area next to the first base bag.

Hojo agreed, but on the surface, he made a look of eagerness to try the blow.

Well, baseball sometimes has to be like that!

Obviously, he has figured out that he can't hit with a stick, but he still has to make an illusion of swinging a stick desperately to confuse his opponent.

But it is precisely because of this kind of secret competition between the deceived and deceived sides that baseball is interesting!

In the second ball, Kasugamo threw himself high in the outside corner, and used a thousand illusions to change the ball's forward path abruptly before entering the base and floated parallel to the inside corner.

The ball was a bit like a slider - Hojo in the strike zone immediately let go of the ball and made a gesture of touching his hat from one side to the other without a trace.

Then the teammates in the first-hand guidance area sent the information back to the rest area, and the coach Shiraki received it and made a decision after thinking about it carefully.

Hojo played a short shot on the third ball according to the coach's intentions, but the effect was not ideal, and Kasuga's ball path was changeable and irregular, so it was very uncomfortable for Hojo to play short.

Fortunately, the ball was finally knocked out of bounds by him, otherwise according to the distance of the ball being shortened out, he would have been blocked by the guards of Aoba Dodai High School in minutes.

After 3 goals, Shiraki, the coach of Shendai High School, reminded Hojo to start paying attention to the next inside corner, and he gave Hojo an order: hit it when you see it!

Sure enough, the 4th goal, Kasuga Cloud threw an inside corner.

Hojo broke the ball with a decisive blow and flew up to the stands in the left field.

"Whew! ~Good ......"

Looking at the direction in which the ball went out, many people on the side of Aoba Daotai High School secretly let go of the sudden lifting of their mouths.

However, they were not much more relieved, because the attack of the Great Divine Attachment continued, and the threat was still there.

At this time, Shiraki, the coach of Shenda High School, quietly called the players standing in the guidance area at the entrance of the rest area: Tell Hojo to continue to be careful with the inside corner kick and see the hit!

The players standing in the guidance area immediately gave the coach's instructions and let Hojo, who was facing away from the coach in the strike area, see: Hojo-kun, the coach asked you to pay attention to the fact that the next ball could still be an inside corner, and you saw that the baton hit him hard! Please......

Hojo immediately clenched the bat tightly: Yo Sai, come on! ~

"Whew! ~”

The baseball was thrown by Kasuga, and as expected, the ball came straight to the waist and ribs in the inner corner, which was a pressing ball, in order to chase and force the hitter to give way to the good ball with space.

Therefore, the spring clouds on this ball did not use a thousand illusion changes.

But it's such a seemingly fine match, but there is a big problem.

"Great! ~”

Hojo, the 3rd batter of the Kamidai High School, finally managed to catch a speedball with a suppressive path after 4 balls, and flew out of the field with a bang!

"Yikes! ~~ Attention, Outfielders!! ~”

"Danger! ~”

"Outfield~~"

Aoba Dodai High School instantly became nervous. (To be continued.) )
