Chapter 66: Delicacy Requires Boldness
A long hit straight into the left field.
At the moment when the ball landed, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation sound, and Shigerno Shin also relied on this blow to quickly bypass the first base bag, and when the third grade left fielder was about to pick up the ball, he stepped on the second base bag with a standard sliding base position.
One is out, and there is someone on second base.
Since the first five rounds of the game, the first-grade team has once again sent a strong attack signal to the senior team with this blow from Shigerino Shin!!
"Oh oh, it's a very decisive swing, it's completely the way the ball is aimed, right?"
"Swinging the stick without the slightest hesitation, clean, really good."
"Timing, angle, center of gravity, I must say that the blow that Shigeruno-kun just now was impeccable."
"One person is out, there is someone on second base, the blow itself is very good, the key is whether the follow-up hitter can send Shigerun-kun back to home plate."
"Inoue and Miyauchi won't give obvious opportunities, first-year students, if you want to score, you still have to rely on your true skills."
This blow from Shigerano Shin.
It was indeed a look of admiration on the faces of those people who knocked melons, but they were still not optimistic about the strength of the first-year follow-ups.
I want to get hits from Inoue in a row.
Tsk, it's not that they look down on first-year freshmen.
Rather, in the previous confrontation, the freshmen have already exposed their lack of strength, looking forward to this situation, knocking out an outfield again, to be honest, most of the audience is not optimistic.
"Whew. Call.... β
Step on top of the second base bag.
Shigerino let out a slow gasp.
A seemingly precise and clever blow.
How high is the risk?
Only Shigeno Shin himself knows best.
Not to mention the type of ball, as long as there is a slight deviation in the ball path, it is a fluke to be able to turn it into a throw-in with that blow just now, and there is a high probability that he will be taken out of the strikeout.
However, the result is OK.
"Eight bats, left fielder, Watanabe-kun."
"Watanabe."
At the moment when Hisashi Watanabe just got up from the strike zone preparation area.
Miyuki, who came out of the bench behind him, shouted loudly, and the right hand that was slightly raised shook twice.
Watanabe Hisashi nodded slightly, the posture of holding the bat was also slightly compact, pacing to the strike zone, Watanabe Hisashi gently patted his right hand on his chest, and then touched the brim of his hat, as far as he could see, Shigerno Shin on the second base bag also touched the brim of his hat with a solemn expression, the slightly widened distance from the base, and the Watanabe Hisashi who was very direct in the strike zone.
made Inoue seniors and Miyauchi seniors frown.
In the case of an outing, it is really not a wise choice to choose a short hit, the runner itself is in the scoring circle, and according to common sense, this is a situation where a long play is needed.
As long as you can cross the infield.
In general.
There is a high probability that runners on second base will be able to run back to home plate to score.
Watanabe Hisashi's posture and Shigerano's move made Inoue's seniors and Miyauchi's seniors awe-inspiring.
Inoue's seniors had a trace of hesitation in their hearts.
It must be said.
Keisuke Miyauchi.
He can be regarded as a very decisive catcher.
In this case, even though the first-year freshmen were obviously in a somewhat aggressive posture, Keisuke Miyauchi still decided to implement his own offensive rhythm.
"You can't be led by the nose by your opponent here."
This is the judgment of the seniors in the palace.
"Straight ball high in the inside corner, swing your arms with all your might, and throw the ball here, Inoue Senpai."
Blocking the opponent's attacking intentions with tricky and sharp balls is the only way to dominate the game and keep a firm grip on their side.
Caring too much about your opponent's moves.
It will only put yourself in a passive situation.
"Hmm"
The senior Inoue on the pitcher's mound nodded lightly after a hesitant look flashed in his pupils.
For the pitcher, when the need for a bold attack, the so-called caution will become a fatal loophole, and hesitation is the most undesirable emotion of an ace pitcherγγγγγγ
"Just shoot without hesitation!!"
"Huh"
The moment when that light flew in on the pitcher's mound.
Shigeno on the second base pack and Miyuki in the strike preparation area also had a different kind of luster in the depths of their eyes.
"Huh"
Hisashi Watanabe in the strike zone is maintaining that short-hitting posture.
"Pong"
The front of the bat that touches the ball.
Because of hesitation.
Because of caution.
The senior Inoue who had an old problem left a little bit of his hand at the moment when the ball was shot.
Let Watanabe Hisashi hit this ball dangerously and dangerously.
"Oops."
At home base, Miyauchi's seniors couldn't help but change their faces when they saw the ball intercepted by Hisashi Watanabe's bat and ejected out, as well as the sudden movement of Shigerano Shin on the second base.
"Bang"
The ball slammed into the ground in the direction of the boundary line of first base.
A clear sound was made.
The shadow of the ball that rolls along the boundary line.
The senior in the palace gritted his teeth and shouted helplessly at the senior Inoue who ran down the pitcher's mound to deal with the ball.
"Pass first base!"
It's too late for third base, whether it's time and distance, in that case, you can only get a number of outs first.
"Huh"
"Da Da Da"
A glowing ball of light.
The second after Shigerino will set foot on third base.
"Smack"
I was caught steadily by Yoshida-senpai on first base.
"Safe base."
"Out"
The judges on both sides of the first and third bases shouted high-pitched rulings at the same time.
"Short fight here?"
"Two out, there are people on third base, it can't be a good situation, right?"
"No, no, no, you have to understand that there are people on third base and people on second base, which are two completely different situations, even if it is two outs, resulting in some tactics that cannot be used, but there are people on third base, and the pressure on the pitcher is two completely different levels, and at the moment when you are not sure of hitting a hit, such a choice can be said to be very ingenious."
"For first-year freshmen who have no mentor at all, this arrangement is already very reasonable."
"Well, speaking of which, if Inoue had a little more strength in that ball just now, that first-year wouldn't have been able to hit it successfully, right?"
"It's an old problem with this guy, and it's also the reason why he's still unstable as an ace...
"There are people on third base, and now it's up to the seniors to deal with this situation."
It's a very decisive shot.
The decisiveness of Hisashi Watanabe's choice of short fight here made the audience outside the court talk a lot.
