A batter, or batter, is the one who is in charge of the game in baseball!

At the same time, it is also one of the most competitive positions in baseball, and it can be said that it is purely in terms of the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are more than 100 people in total, and in addition to Kasugamo himself, there are only Watanabe and Hayakawa who can become pitchers!

However, the 9 hitter positions on the playing line are a position that all the student players are fighting for and hope to win.

Anyone who has ever played baseball knows that it may be difficult to become a pitcher, but it is possible to become a great hitter.

But for Kasuga, for now, his striking ability is still a long way from a good fighter.

Not even a good hitter, it's very difficult for him to play a game level of a regular army beater, and it's hard to get such a striking result!

On the practice field, he could only successfully hit a 10% batting rate in the straight line of 135 kilometers of ball speed sent by the ball machine; Not to mention how bad a pitcher's blow can be when he is playing against a pitcher's diverse ball paths......

At this time, in the second half of the third game of the final game of the summer league regional selection municipal competition, when the team had been knocked out by 2 people in a row, Kasugayun came on the field to strike, which really gave him a little confidence to comfort his teammates!

I just want to think about it, Watanabe, Hayakawa and others in the rest area are still shouting very hard to cheer for them: "Come on, Kasuga-kun~"

"Yes, yes, don't force a long hit, just a successful short touch to build a base, please! ~”

"Come on, come on, come on! ~”

Even the hundreds of members of the support group from Aoba Dodai High School in the stands collectively shouted the back number of Kasugayun at this moment to cheer for it: "No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, ......No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No. 28, No

Soon, the showdown officially began.

After receiving the ball code from the catcher's partner, Tanihara, the pitcher of the Shendai High School on the pitcher's mound, immediately stepped on the pitcher's board and stepped out, throwing the ball with all his might.

"Whew! ~”

The ball was fast, and Kasugamo couldn't see the exact speed of the ball in the strike zone, but he could feel that the ball would never be lower than his controllable top speed of 140 km/h.

Because when the pitcher Tanihara threw the ball, Kasuga-un, who was standing in the strike zone, saw the ball for the first time, and the baseball had already flown out of the pitcher's mound about 7 or 8 meters away.

"So fast! ~”

Kasugamo instinctively swung his bat in the direction of the incoming ball to strike, but when he swung the bat a little bit, he found that the baseball had already hit the catcher's glove one step ahead of him.

"Pong! ~”

"Good shot! ~”

The referee made a very crisp judgment for this ball, because the baseball came to the base with the middle ball road higher than the thigh of the spring cloud, even if the spring cloud waved the stick or not, it couldn't change the ball to the base point so good that he couldn't say anything, so the referee awarded a good shot.

"~~~" After watching the ball being passed back to the pitcher's mound, Kasugamo thought to himself: It's too fast, I can't keep up with the rhythm at all! ~How do you fight this......

Suddenly, Kasuga Cloud remembers one thing!

One thing that he has neglected since he focused on training in the direction of the pitcher: it seems that when I was in Chunjia, there was a time when everyone taught me how to swing the shot! Force...... By the way, what about the 'staging' of the hitter before the attack in Daddy's diary!? I don't think I understand it yet! ~

Thinking of this, Kasugamo immediately recalled very attentively the baseball diary left by his father Hasuga, and how the striking techniques recorded in it were unfolded.

"First prepare for the action, and before starting, swing the bat freely according to your habits and preferences......"

So everyone looked at the hitting zone on the court, and Kasugamo actually threw the bat out in two circles.

That's playing stick flowers, just like learning martial arts weapons sticks, and Kasugayun whirred two stick words with his right hand!

Due to a little nervousness, Kasuga's excessive exertion, the bat was whirring, not to mention that when the catcher Itano of the Shenda High School on this side of the base area and the referee standing behind him heard and saw Kasuga's preparatory move, they couldn't help but feel a little hairy in their hearts.

Even on the pitcher's mound more than ten meters away, Tanihara looked at Kasuga Yunlai with some inexplicable eyelids: What does this kid want to do?! Fight can't be made!? ~~

"Preparation is a way and action to attract the attention of the other person; It is not pure posturing, but it is also a pretending to be a ghost; As long as under the rules, any action and any expression can successfully attract the attention of the opposing pitcher and make him wary of you after the beater makes it, then the beater's preparation action will be considered successful! ”

In exactly the way recorded in the baseball diary left by his father, Kasuga suddenly made a round of stick flowers, and successfully attracted the attention of the opposing pitcher Tanihara.

Then, Kasugamo moves on to the next step......

"Baseball is a sport that combines psychological warfare with techniques and tactics. Whether it's a pitcher or a hitter, it's important to prepare perfectly before the start of the pitch to form a momentum that makes the opponent fear or be on guard. …… The momentum of the hitter starts from the preparation action, chooses the strike posture to form the momentum, and relies on the influence of the potential to throw a deviation from the opponent's pitcher, so that he can keenly capture the fleeting strike fighter, and finally realize the effect of a bat to rejuvenate the soul, the stick to drop the ball and fly, and the rod to have no false shot! ”

Striking Stance - Kasugamo chose to stand at the back of the striking zone close to the sideline, then clasped the end of the bat with both hands to shake hands, and stared sideways at Tanihara on the pitcher's mound with full attention.

"Huh!? ~~~ This kid ......"

Maybe he didn't expect that he would be seen by Kasuga's gaze to the extent that his heart was hairy, and Tanihara's mood and state were somewhat affected at this time.

But after all, he is the main pitcher of the city-level strong team, and his psychological endurance and recovery ability are good, Gu Yuan slowly calmed down some floating breath after taking a deep breath, and calmed himself down before stepping on the board and throwing the ball out.

"Whew! ~~”

"Damn! ~It's still fast! ~”

As soon as the ball was shot, by the time Kasuga's eyes adjusted to the speed of the ball, the baseball had already flown several meters away.

At this time, there was only about 0.03 seconds left for Kasugayun to choose whether to fight or not, and the fighter was fleeting, and Kasugayun hesitated, so he made a stick!

"Whew! ~”

"Ping~~"

"Roar~~"

With a swing of the bat, Kasugamo unexpectedly hit the incoming ball this time.

Although it didn't play well, it knocked out of bounds in front of the right third base and became out of bounds, but it was enough to scare everyone in the midfield.

"Oh, hehe~~ It's so dangerous! ~”

"That's it, this kid is quite accurate, and it scares me ......"

And in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, the players in the first class saw that Kasugayun accidentally rubbed the incoming ball this time, but it hit it out of bounds, and suddenly let out a muffled regretful sound: hiss...... It's a pity! ~

"Almost, if you go into bounds, this ball on third base or the shortstop wants to successfully save it, I think it's good!"

"A ball that can definitely go to base, if it goes into bounds! ~”

"I agree~"

"Come on, Kasuga, try to knock him hard! ~”

At this time, on the other side of the Shenda Attached Middle School, because of the unexpected blow of Kasuga-yun, catcher Itano and pitcher Tanihara's wariness of Kasuga-yun has changed dramatically compared to when they first threw the first ball.

"This kid...... It doesn't look like a rookie kind of easy character to deal with, so you need to be on guard against him! Itano and Tanihara exchanged glances with each other.

At this time, the expression on his face was still the same as the previous serious appearance of the spring clouds, and at this time he was already a little happy in his heart: I can't imagine that this pretense sometimes works well, come again......

Immediately, the third ball duel began...... (To be continued.) )
