Chapter Ninety-Four: After the Storm
And with Takeuchi stepping on the strike preparation area, the three-batter of Hachihiro High School, the main player of the third grade - Takahashi Toru also walked into the strike preparation area steadily, that standard squatting posture, the moment when the cold gaze was on Shigerino Shin, Mono Shin couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, the kind of cold feeling of being targeted by a group of fierce beasts, at this moment, Shigerno Shin's heart shrank, and suddenly the heart that beat rapidly, Shigerno Shin suddenly seemed to be able to hear every beating sound clearly.
"Hoo γγγγγγγ"
It's really a very oppressive and terrifying line.
Shigerino Shin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air from his chest, and the raised head bloomed with a trace of awe-inspiring expression on his face.
"However, I won't back down easily!!"
Shigerino shin gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
βplayballοΌοΌβ
Once the momentum is suppressed, I am afraid that my pitch will be eaten to death, at least on the surface, we must support the momentum suppression on the opposite side, show the rhythm of our pitching, don't think too much about things, simple, is the most important thing.
Completely trusting Chris's seniors to pitch the ball is what I should be doing at the moment.
Raised arms again.
With all the strength of his body, he shook his arms more fully, aimed at the wide ball sleeve at home plate, and swung his right arm, accompanied by the sound of breaking the air, a bright light appeared from the pitcher's mound, and flew straight towards the strike zone.
An awe-inspiring white ball of light roared.
Eichi Takeuchi, the second batter of Hachihiro High School in the strike zone, stared at him, and the trajectory of the ball that was quickly captured, Takeuchi suddenly stepped out.
"Huh"
The metal bat, which is slightly raised, is swung upwards from an oblique angle.
The swift metal ball dances.
The cold luster of the metal was reflected in front of Chris's seniors, the cold bats that were close at hand, and the white shadows that were shining, and Chris's seniors' expressions did not change in the slightest.
"Pong"
A strong collision roared abruptly.
Feeling the touch of the bat with subtle deviations, Eichi Takeuchi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Huh"
It was in that instant.
The small ball squeezed on the bat quickly flew upside down.
"Bang"
A small ball that slammed into the ground.
It quickly crossed the boundary line and fell out of bounds.
"Out of bounds."
Very tricky ball path, and the tail energy is not completely absent, at that moment a little heavy bat, so that Takeuchi Eichi almost thought that his teammates had deceived him just now.
But it's clear that your teammates don't deceive themselves.
So the only possibility is that the first-grade ghost in front of him has made his state a little better by adjusting himself?
"Interesting, really interesting!!"
Takeuchi licked his somewhat dry lips, and a faint light flickered in his pupils.
"Very good, the arm is completely waved, next, the palm ball in the direction of the outer corner, not only the drop of the ball speed and the arc of the fall, must be controlled in the timing of the fall, not too early, not too late, to fully feel the power of the fingertips, don't use too much force, Shigero."
A faint smile flashed in the eyes of senior Chris, who could hear the state of Shigerino's ball just now, and the finger that moved lightly again at the low level gave Shigerno Shin on the pitcher mound a code again.
Now that you have the first goal, you have to settle the current rhythm.
Use the change ball to disrupt the rhythm of the beater's swing, so that the hitter can't grasp the timing of the swing.
The next second you see the code.
Shigerino Shin suddenly raised his right hand, the small ball that was clinging to the palm of his hand, his fingers felt the texture of the stitches, and slightly adjusted the height of his hand.
With that footstep forward.
"Huh"
Swing down the right arm.
Flickering moments.
A bright light flashed.
And the straight ball tends to be close to the trajectory and height of the ball all the time.
Straight white light.
It's time to gallop away toward home plate.
Eichi Takeuchi's pupils in the strike zone were filled with the white brilliance of the incoming ball.
Outside corner straight!?
Thoughts that don't have time to think about it are just momentary judgments.
Eichi Takeuchi had to make a choice, and the swiftly pulled away figure, hooking the metal bat dancing in the outer corner, and the fierce and fierce metal whistling sounded.
The ball light that flickered close to home plate, but it suddenly shook halfway, and the small ball that suddenly stalled and began to fall, made Takeuchi's pupils shrink suddenly, and subconsciously moved, Takeuchi suddenly clamped his arms.
With the brute strength of his body and his super reflexes, he forcibly suppressed the speed of swinging his stick.
"Huh"
In Shigeruno's incredulous expression.
"Pong!!"
The bat and the ball collided with each other accurately, and after the roar, the white ball shadow that flashed out of home plate suddenly flew upside down and smashed into the middle of the second and third bases.
"Bang"
The third baseman's Higashi Kiyokuni senior and the shortstop Asama's senior didn't have time to react in a timely and effective manner, and the ball that smashed on the surface quickly flew out of the infield and catapulted into the left outfield.
"Whoosh"
"Snap"
A sharp blow from the left field.
Yachihiro High School second baseman Eichi Takeuchi quickly stepped on the first base when the left fielder Miyagi senior was about to pick up the ball.
"Safe base!!"
When the verdict of that base trial sounded.
Shigerano Nobu on the pitcher's mound still had a look of disbelief on his face.
The palm ball after the straight ball.
This beater reacted and even if he was able to pull out accurately? Is this the strength of Baguang Technical High School?
Shigerino Shin looked at Eichi Takeuchi who was patting the dust off his body on the first base bag with some distraction, and shook his head in his heart with some difficulty.
"The point of putting the ball is still a little lower, the timing of the change is a little earlier, and the fingers don't completely apply the force to the ball. . . ."
Eichi Takeuchi's striking strength is indeed commendable, and that reaction ability is also quite fast, but, from the perspective of Chris's seniors.
At least half of the responsibility for the ball just now lies in Shigeruno's failure to control the ball in place, unlike the straight ball, for the change ball, the timing of the change is the most important, so that the change ball can reach the maximum limit distance and then change, or the speed and arc of the change are very exaggerated.
to be able to make the beater have no time to react.
Shigerano's just shot.
If you can stall and fall closer to home plate, even if it is intercepted, it will be a throw-in at most, and it is very likely that it will become an infield rolling ball and be blocked out.
The fatigue of the training camp is not so easy to adjust the state back.
Senior Chris looked at Shigerno Shin, whose expression on the pitcher's mound had changed slightly, and thought to himself.
