Chapter Seventy-Eight: All-round Suppression (Tribute to Little Chubby)
"God!"
The layman looked at the excitement and saw Tamba's excellent pitching.
After all, Tanba can suppress the not weak Komata Industry to this extent, and his pitching performance is naturally good.
But true insiders are not attracted to these appearances alone. They'll be looking more at the pitcher who replaces Miyuki.
Chris!
This catcher, when he was on the field, performed no worse than Miyuki, and even showed another kind of charm.
It's also infectious.
If a catcher like Miyuki is replaced, there must be a lot of people who want to criticize him. Once the substitute catcher does not perform well, he will be blamed like a storm.
The most stable position in the team, you make blind substitutions, isn't this a joke? If you win, it's okay, if you lose, the spitting star can drown Kataoka.
But so far, no one at the scene has raised objections.
This also means that Chris has completely taken the place of Miyuki so far.
"It's amazing!"
Many reporters have firmly remembered the name Chris.
They have realized that this is going to be a big and attractive news.
In the second half of the second game, Qingdao High School attacked.
Komata Industries, which had been hit one after another, began to cheer up. Especially their ace pitcher, Ito.
Control of the ball began to stabilize, and the number of outs was won one after another.
Although the speed of the ball has decreased slightly, the ball control has increased significantly.
As the number of good balls increased, Ito's pitching gradually came into shape, and the power and speed of the ball also came out.
He finally began to show the strength of a strong ace pitcher.
In the second game, Hakushu played an infield rebound ball and was blocked out. Kuramochi was knocked out of bounds by a low-angle slider that appeared coldly.
Two outs, no one on base.
The next position,Go against Ryosuke Kominato.。
"His low-angle slider is hard to deal with!"
Kuramochi frowned and shared information with Ryosuke Kominato.
"It's okay, it's good to be able to force that ball out."
Ryosuke Kominato said with a smile.
Seeing Ryosuke Kominato walk into the strike zone, the nerves on the three bodies began to tense subconsciously.
This beater is the most difficult to deal with.
If it weren't for the second game now, Sanjo would even want Ito to use low-angle sliders in a row, strikeout Kominato Ryosuke. It's just that now that the game has just begun, if he does that, in the second half of the game, the Seido hitter will gradually get used to Ito's low-angle slide.
Then they have no hope at all!
Just use the ball power to suppress it, and the position of the ball shot can't be too sweet, once it's too sweet, it will also be beaten out. Don't look at the other party's petite stature, but the strength is still there.
On the pitcher's mound, Ito nodded and threw the ball.
"Whoosh!"
Small white balls, flying in.
At this time, Ryosuke Kominato also has his own plans.
"It's hard to hit a change ball with high hopes. Otherwise, there would be no high hopes. ”
But I don't have to, I don't have to play your decisive ball?
The corners of Ryosuke Kominato's mouth brought out a cold smile.
Although it is good to choose the four bad, but at this time, you still want to play the ball with your confidence.
Here it comes!
Just as Kominato was making up his mind, Ito's pitch came and the ball landed in the middle of the ball.
Is this a slider or a normal straight ball?
It's a straight ball!
After Ryosuke Kominato, he waved his stick decisively.
"Ping!"
The small white ball was knocked out and landed in front of the third baseman.
The third baseman of Komata Industries, opening his gloves, confiscated the ball.
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
In the second game, the defense of Omada Industry performed very well.
In the first half of the third game, Kota Industrial attacked.
Facing the lower line of Komada Industries, Tanba won two strikeouts and one catch-up beautifully.
At this time, Chris's characteristics also came out.
On the surface, Chris and Miyuki can both guide the pitcher to better shape, and the two are about the same. But it's not the same, Miyuki's ball matching is a bit like squeezing toothpaste, through continuous squeezing, so that the pitcher can explode his strength.
On the surface, Miyuki is supportive, but in fact, he also takes the initiative to a certain extent.
Of course, there are good and bad things about this. If the pitcher can keep up with Miyuki's rhythm, then the two can burst out with the strength of one plus one is greater than two!
And if the pitcher can't keep up with the rhythm, then Miyuki will have to accommodate the pitcher and change his matching.
Overall, Miyuki is a catcher who is strong when he is strong. The stronger the pitcher, the more he can play.
As for Chris, on the surface, he seems to be stricter than Miyuki, but he plays with the ball and pays attention to a moisturizing thing silently. His guidance allows pitchers to unconsciously show their strength.
He will consciously adjust his ball according to the state of the pitcher.
These two cannot be said to be strong and weak, but can only be said to have their own merits.
In the second half of the third inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
Facing Ito, who had regained his strength, Jun Izashaki took the lead in scoring a hit, and then was escorted.
When Sawamura went to the strike zone, the situation was that no one was out, and there were people on first and second base.
Faced with this situation, Sawamura aimed for Ito's low-angle slider and swung his bat.
Hit the outfield long fight!
Jun Izaki ran straight back to home plate and went to third base, while Sawamura himself only went to first base. Because the outfield was too close to second base, he didn't rush forward.
Rather than taking the risk of taking a base, Sawamura judged that it made more sense to keep this number of outs.
Next, Masuko went to the strike zone and sent the tie back to home plate with a short shot to help the team score sixth points.
The aggregate score is 6:0!
One person out, someone on second base!
"Ping!"
Chris hit a hit, and Sawamura, who had been lurking to second base when Masuko was escorted, ran back to home plate in one go to help the team score seventh points.
It's not that Ito's pitching is not good, and it's not that Koto's defense is really weak.
It's just that they are completely suppressed by their own opponents.
The three games are over, and the score is 7:0!
In the second round of the Kanto Conference, Seido High School broke out in full swing.
In the stands, inside a baseball team.
Meima looked at the Qingdao High School baseball team on the field, and her face was extremely complicated.
He doesn't have to play next game, even if he is a spectator, he can feel the toughness of this Qingdao High School.
It's really strong, it's a little too strong.
"It's hard to imagine that such a Qingdao has not entered Koshien for five consecutive years."
Beside Meima, a little friend said incredulously.
This shows how terrible Tokyo is in the zone of fierce warfare. Even if you have the strength, if you lack luck, it is not easy to get ahead. However, the team that comes out of this kind of place must have the strength to compete for national supremacy. If we want to aim for national hegemony, then we have to overcome this hurdle. ”
At the end of the three games, Seido High School announced a substitution.
Pitchers, catchers, all substitutions!
