Chapter 58: The Duties of the Pitcher (Tribute to Pei Shiqi.)

Three up, three down!

Nine goals, three strikeouts!

Those who are familiar with Sawamura will definitely not feel unfamiliar with such a scene.

When he was in middle school, Sawamura himself was a pitcher known for his strikeouts. It is also because he has created a series of jaw-dropping strikeout records that he will be called the terrifying 'Demon King'.

Whether it is the game world or the sports world, being able to be named the Demon King shows his terrifying strength and domineering ability to crush his peers.

Just like what Sawamura did when he was in middle school, to put it mildly, it was a demon-level performance!

It's just that this is not a middle school, and the opponent of Qingdao is not a fish belly team. , but the line of the giant Yokohama Minatokita.

Isn't it a little too easy for Sawamura to get these strikeouts?

How can a frightening wealthy family play the line so pediatrically?

The audience was excited, but a little incredulous.

Miyuki, who retreated to the cowshed, glanced at Sawamura, who exuded a mysterious aura all over his body, and chuckled.

"The first time I saw Sawamura's pitching, the hitter of Minato Kita, Yokohama, I was shocked."

You can't see the point of the shot, the speed of the ball is amazing in the hitting zone, and the ball is controlled accurately. This in itself is enough to deal with one or two rounds of Yokohama Minato Kita's line.

And that's not all.

Sawamura has other changes in the path of the ball in addition to the straight ball.

By any measure, Sawamura is a very tricky pitcher. Facing Sawamura's Yokohama Port North Line for the first time, he is destined to be reduced to a supporting role.

Previously, Chris and Miyuki had discussed pitching about Sawamura and came to a very surprising conclusion.

In high school, except for a few monsters, the other beaters, no matter who they are? The first time I faced Sawamura's pitch, I was afraid that I would be at a loss. Sawamura is an opponent that you simply can't deal with if you don't have enough information to prepare.

It's a pity that Yokohama's port line has to verify this.

Miyuki and Sawamura's plan is to use superb pitching to disrupt the rhythm of the entire Yokohama Minato North line. This affected the mentality of these players in Yokohama Minatokita.

And what could be more effective than a strikeout?

Yokohama, you just sink into Sawamura's superb pitching.

Only then will we have a chance!

In the second half of the seventh inning, Qingdao High School attacked.

This time, the line fell to the top hitter of Seido High School, and the first hitter was Kuramochi.

"Hee hop, haha."

After Yoichi Kuramochi got into the strike zone, he frowned and looked for a gap.

No, no!

No matter from any direction, the garrison of Yokohama Minato North is as tight as an iron barrel.

To tell the truth, Yokohama Kohoku Academy's ace pitcher, Yi Neng, is really not a great character. There are very few players in Seido High School who can't hit him, and if it weren't for the strong defense, in Kuramochi's opinion, the hitters of Seichi would be able to kill Yi Neng into scum in minutes.

But such a pitcher, the stunned Qingdao only scored three points in six innings!

And it's not just with Aodo, Yokohama Minato plays against other teams, and there are very few points conceded.

Even teams like Seido High School that can take three points from Yokohama Minato Kita are rare.

"It's tricky!"

No matter how many times he observes, Kuramochi has to admit that Yokohama Minatokita's garrison is very well-set, with pitcher Ino as the core, and the tactics of relying on the garrison to win the number of outs are also very clever.

When I first started the competition with Yokohama Minato North Gakuin, I didn't feel anything. The more you play, the more you feel the horror of their garrison.

Such a terrifying garrison gave Kuramochi a headache. He didn't know where to aim or what tactics to use to secure base.

In addition to its own excellent garrison, Yokohama Minato Kita has also studied the information of Seido High School beaters very thoroughly. For each of them, Yokohama Minato Kita has made a special target.

That is, Sawamura, who had just played, took advantage of it. The beaters of Yokohama Minato Kita, there is almost zero information about Sawamura.

This is also one of the reasons why Sawamura has been able to score hits and score repeatedly.

"What a headache!"

Since you've studied the information so carefully, I'll do the opposite.

This is the position, changing someone else, at such a critical moment for the team, it is absolutely impossible to do a gambling swing.

Kuramori raised his bat high and waited for Inno to pitch the ball.

Seeing him like this, several infielders in Yokohama Minato subconsciously relaxed. It seems that Kuramochi has given up on short-play and stealing bases!

At the moment when they relaxed, Kuramochi decisively closed the baton and used a short beat.

"Fooled!"

Realizing that he had been fooled, Furano and the third baseman in Yokohama Minato all rushed forward.

There is no gap on the left and no space on the right.

When Furano stepped forward, the field on second base also began to fill in on first base.

I have to say that Yokohama's garrison cooperation really didn't say.

If you can't do it on either side, I'll hit the middle!

Kuramochi delicately stopped the ball in front of the pitcher.

Then spread the bat and run to first base.

Pitcher Ino finished throwing the ball and retracted his stance when he saw Kuramochi hit the ball short in front of him.

"Good time!"

The garrison of the pitchers of the giants, naturally, did not say. He picked up the ball very quickly and passed it to first base.

Then he saw a very incredible scene, the man who had just played, he had come to first base at some point.

Joke!

The pitcher's front ball, you also want to run to first base?

Ino hurriedly passes the ball to the second baseman who is on first base.

"Smack!"

The moment the baseball got into the second baseman's glove, Kuramochi also went to first base.

"Safety!"

The referee on first base hesitated, but still gave the result decisively.

The pitcher's short hit on the front of the base, actually went to base?

"Damn, it's too fast."

"God!"

"Big Scud!"

"Kurachi, his speed, it's a foul."

In the stands, from time to time there were exclamations from the audience.

In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.

Sawamura's eyes were firmly on Kurachi, and there was a bit of amazement in his eyes.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Kuramochi to observe such small details.

After Yi Neng throws the ball, the inertia action is relatively large!

In this way, he could not enter the garrison at the first time.

Unexpectedly, Kuramochi even grasped such small details.

As soon as Kuramochi got on the base, he immediately felt like a different person, and he was full of energy.

"Hip hop, haha~"

He left the base bag for a full three meters, so that everyone in Yokohama had to look at him.

Yi Neng contained, and Kuramochi returned to first base in an instant like a cheetah. Here the first baseman passes the ball back, and he leaves the base pack again.

It makes people angry and helpless.

"Second baseman, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato."

No one is out, there is someone on first base, and it is Ryosuke Kominato's turn to strike.

After that, Izaki Jun, formed a ......

Yi Neng's head began to hurt again, and he seemed to see the continuous line offensive of Qingdao High School.

But isn't it their pitcher's job to defuse this offensive?
