No one is out, there is someone on first base.

"Fourth stick, catcher, Takehara-san."

The runner is Soichiro Mima, and the hitter is the fourth stick, Takehara.

This is the situation that Qingdao is facing.

Although Meima is only on first base, the pressure he brings to Qingdao is still not small.

After all, he had run back to home plate by trotting all the way and stealing bases in the case of two outs.

Now with a full three outs to use, the chances of him returning to home plate have increased considerably.

Not only the Qingdao players have this feeling, but even the fans and melon-eating people in the stands also have this feeling. They nervously watched the changes on the pitch, and there was a sense of tension that was about to come.

This game is so exciting.

Although I am looking forward to the pitching confrontation between Sawamura and Mima, I have to say that this kind of duel after Mima's base is even more exciting.

Mima, who is extraordinarily fast, faces Sawamura, who has a full score.

What kind of feast will they give to everyone?

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki's face was a little embarrassed. This base of the United States is not simple, he only needs to steal the base once, and he can almost return to home plate nine times out of ten.

With Soichiro Mima's speed, this task is not impossible, as long as he finds the right time, he has a good chance of succeeding in stealing the base. And once the steal is successful, he can use the two outs to return himself to home plate.

The White Dragon Academy can also take the opportunity to take the lead by one point.

In such a stalemate game, whoever takes the lead first will have the advantage of the game.

"He needs to be stopped!"

The task is in front of us, but how easy is it to say? He was one of the 12 Heavenly Kings who were famous for his speed, and if he was so easily restrained, he would not be as famous as he is now.

"Leave it to me!"

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura looks confident.

Next, Sawamura prepares to pitch.

At first base, the beautiful horse moved to second base as if it were a leisurely stroll.

To be honest, he was not very far away from the first base, which was much closer than the average runner, and about a meter smaller than the other runners in the White Dragon Academy.

Judging from this distance alone, Meima is not much of a threat.

"Whoosh!"

But very strangely, Sawamura was stunned to throw a diversion ball.

The ball was clearly beyond Mima's expectations, and he was a little stiff, but he quickly returned to first base with a stride.

"Safety!"

Sawamura's containment is very inexplicable in the eyes of others. At that distance, it was very easy for Mima to get back to first base, and he didn't even have to knock down like everyone else.

But in the position of first base, Mima's face was a little ugly.

Here I have to explain the theft of the United States and horses. He is different from the average runner who follows the rules and steals bases. The theft of the base of the United States and horses is not so much a theft as it is more appropriate to run.

When other runners want to steal bases, they do so against the pitcher, with their legs spread apart and their center of gravity lowered.

This posture is the most standard stealing posture, including Sawamura and Kurachi, all of which are used in this stealing posture.

In such a posture, whether he moves to the next base bag, or when he is blocked by a pinned back, he immediately counterattacks back to the base bag where he was originally located, and he is very flexible.

It is really offensive and defensible, and it is a perfect posture to prepare for stealing bases.

But this posture is not the fastest way for runners! It takes time for you to switch from crossing your legs to a running position.

In the process of stealing bases, even a fraction of a second is extremely precious, and wasting time is absolutely not allowed.

In response to this, Meima developed his own position of stealing bases.

That's the kind he just performed, leaving the first base bag like a walk and slowly moving towards second base.

It seems that he is not as far away from the base bag as the average runner, and he will definitely suffer in the process of stealing the base.

But in fact, his kind of walk may seem careless, but the reality is the opposite, and his every step is carefully calculated.

He adjusts his pace to the pitcher's rhythm and takes small steps toward second base. The biggest difference between him and the average runner at this time is that the average runner is stationary, and he is accelerating to second base, even though the family is very slow. By the time the pitcher made up his mind to pitch, that is, the best time to steal the bases, the U.S. had already moved to the place where the runner was ready to start.

At this time, the average runner's body is stationary, and they have to change from crossing their legs to a running position in order to continue to advance to second base.

His body is constantly accelerating, so that he can reach his peak speed faster than the average runner, and because he doesn't have to change from crossing his legs to running position, his speed will be increased.

Of course, it should be stated here that the speed of the United States itself is very fast, and it does not depend on skill alone.

The combination of gifted speed and this skill makes the beautiful horse steal the base, as fast as lightning.

Until now, the United States has not encountered a pitcher who said that he could stop him from stealing bases.

But just now, Sawamura threw a pinning down at the node of his acceleration, completely ruining his rhythm.

You must know that at that time he left the baseball, and it was not far away. Compared to the average runner who is ready to steal the base, he is more than a meter behind.

At that distance, it is said that it will not arouse the alarm of the pitcher. But why did Sawamura throw the ball at that time?

Meima was puzzled.

The pitcher was on the hill, but Sawamura didn't care.

On the court of the major leagues, what kind of strange players don't have. Sawamura has seen someone find a sprint champion, a contemporary runner. That speed, the hell is sad!

The ghost is worried when he sees it.

Runners like Mima, Sawamura has also seen. According to the cadence of the pitcher, keep moving towards the base bag that you want to move forward, so that your body is in a state of acceleration.

It's actually quite simple to deal with such runners.

As long as it disrupts the rhythm of their raids.

Everything has a price, and swift raids like that are no small cost. The more subtle something is, the more it needs to be accurately calculated. The same is true of that kind of thief, if you take a wrong step, you can't move.

Taking advantage of Mima's efforts to readjust the pace, Sawamura threw the first shot.

Takehara didn't swing his bat.

"Good shot!"

One ball count is good, zero bad.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki wanted to applaud Sawamura.

Well done so beautifully!

Just now, he didn't understand Sawamura's containment.

However, he saw the effect, and the extraordinary speed of the beautiful horse was nailed to the first base, and he was not able to steal the base.

No need to ask, Miyuki also knows that this must be the inexplicable containment ball that Sawamura just now, a ghost.
