Chapter Twenty-Eight: With Me, Invincible! (5th Update)
The catcher who partnered with Sawamura in the first round was Chris. At this time, Miyuki came to serve as a referee.
I don't know where Miyuki got the equipment, he even got the protective mask on the referee's head.
"You're too careful!"
Looking at Miyuki, who was fully armed, Sawamura felt inexplicably happy.
"I'm careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
Miyuki smiled.
He wasn't all for himself, but more for Chris, who had just recovered......
For Sawamura and Miyuki's carefulness, Chris is curious and funny, and he really treats him as a glass man. However, the sincerity of the two of them to him, Chris really felt it.
It's just that he is not the kind of person who will put gratitude on his lips, so this touch can only flow silently in his heart.
"In the first game, how are you going to get it?"
Sawamura ran up to Chris and asked.
Chris, as a catcher, is a leading pitcher-type catcher. He can adjust a pitcher's condition to the best. When partnering with Miyuki, Sawamura will also think about putting forward his own ideas and opinions, but not with Chris, he will choose the right ball for you according to your state.
Miyuki once famously said that pitching is a work of art created by pitchers and catchers!
It's not just Miyuki, Chris has done it too. Neither is the kind of person who uses the pitcher as a tool, and he also hates the pitcher for using the catcher as a tool to catch the ball. They take great care to guide the pitcher so that the pitcher can bring out his best pitch.
Of course, both of them also have their own characteristics, and they are not exactly the same.
Chris heard Sawamura come to ask himself, turned to look at them, and whispered, "Your new pitching posture hasn't been shown in front of them yet, has it?" ”
Sawamura was stunned when he heard this, but he still replied honestly: "I must have seen it, but I didn't have it in the strike zone." ”
Chris said, "Then let them see, okay!" ”
Sawamura's new posture pitching is impossible to see the subtlety of it just by looking at it.
In the first round, the first hitter was Ryosuke Kominato, and the second place was Jun Izakishiki, and the tie was formed as the final finale.
Ryosuke Kominato stood in the striking position, squinting at Sawamura who was throwing the ball with a pair of eyes.
Chris has not relaxed his observation of Ryosuke Kominato, and after seeing Ryosuke Kominato's stance and holding position, he gave Sawamura the first code.
Ball Path: Inside corner, normal straight ball!
Sawamura nodded slightly.
He believes in Chris's matching.
I saw Sawamura raise his right foot high, and then his right foot slashed down like a tomahawk. As the center of gravity of his body moved, the glove in Sawamura's right hand was blocked in front of him like a shield.
In the striking zone, Ryosuke Kominato originally made up his mind to swing the bat with the first ball. He has always given the impression of being an extremely difficult hitter, and likes to pick four bad bases. This is clear to both Chris and Sawamura.
So, this time he was unusual, ready to swing the bat on the first ball.
The plan was good, but when he saw Sawamura pitching, his plan was aborted.
The reason is simple. He couldn't even see Sawamura's release point. The point where he throws the ball is tightly covered by his body and gloves.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball is thrown, but Ryosuke Kominato fails to swing the bat.
"Smack!"
The baseball landed in Chris's open glove with a crisp thud.
"Good shot!"
Miyuki judged with a grin.
"That's interesting."
The smile on Ryosuke Kominato's face became brighter, and he even glanced back at Miyuki, and only then did he turn his head to look at Sawamura.
There was no point in sight, and the ball came faster than expected.
Sawamura Rongjun, two years have passed, and this kid's progress is really scary.
"However, I'm not in vain in Qingdao. Let me see what else is great about your pitching. ”
Just when Ryosuke Kominato made up his mind, Sawamura's second ball also came, and his pitching rhythm was still fast.
On the strike zone, Ryosuke Kominato sneered in his heart.
I'm sorry, but I can't go your way.
In the face of this ball, Ryosuke Kominato decisively swung his bat.
"Ping!"
The little white ball was hit and flew high.
Sawamura took two steps back, spread his gloves, and caught the ball.
"Out!"
Ryosuke Kominato, who was directly killed by Sawamura.
In fact, when he touched the ball, Ryosuke Kominato had a premonition that it was broken, because the ball was not solid.
Sawamura threw the ball on the float.
Because he cared so much about Sawamura's new pitching posture, he actually forgot that Sawamura had a lot of other ways to play.
In fact, it is even more scary to think like this, because I learned a new pitching posture, and Sawamura's pitching has been upgraded to a notch. The ball speed itself has increased, and with the fact that you can't see the release point, it feels like the ball speed is faster than the real ball speed.
"What a little monster!"
Ryosuke Kominato knew that he had been calculated, not only Sawamura, but also Chris's handiwork.
Speaking of which, Chris is also interesting. He only stands in the position where he is now, whether it is the third grade or Sawamura's partner, he will not keep his hand.
Such guys, as teammates, are very reliable. But as an opponent, it's just as a headache.
After Ryosuke Kominato is out, it's Jun Izagi's turn to strike.
"Please advise!"
Jun Izakiki greeted Chris and Miyuki politely.
There was a big drop of cold sweat on each of these two people's heads.
One of the two is a junior of Usashiki Jun, and the other is a classmate of Izaki Jun, so it seems that there is no need to use honorifics, right?
"This guy already makes this a compulsory lesson."
"Come on, little ghost! Let Uncle Ben take a look at your pitching. ”
Turning his face, Jun Izashaki seemed to be a different person, and became the familiar golden retriever.
Jun Izagi's grip is very irregular, but the blow is positive.
With such an opponent, you can never guess what he is thinking.
Chris frowned, a little unsure of what to do with Izzoshiki. (When Chris was in the First Army, Jun Izashaki hadn't played yet.) In fact, until Chris was injured, Jun Izashaki didn't come out. By the time he recovered, Izagi Jun was already the core fighter of the wealthy Qingdao. For Jun Izaki, Chris knows very little. )
Just when he hesitated a little, he saw Sawamura looking at him with firm eyes.
Rest assured!
As long as I'm here, I'm going to win.
His eyes seemed to speak.
With me, invincible!!
It's really the first time Chris has seen such a Sawamura.
It is worthy of being a super ace who has led the team twice and dominated the country.
Not to mention anything else, Sawamura's domineering spirit is far from being comparable to ordinary pitchers.
Looking at Sawamura like this, Chris also has a plan for matching.
Then it's good to hit it hard!
First Goal: Red in the Red!
