Chapter 9: A New Era in Sawamura

Back in the rest area on his side, Nagata's four sticks were ashamed.

"Sure enough, the ball speed of 12 is too much for you?"

Nagata's coach said with a frown.

In some strong teams, such as the top eight and the top four teams in Nagano Prefecture. One hundred and two even faster balls, they are not impossible to deal with. Even Shilun Middle School, which fought against Akagi before.

Their first team of main pitchers, the ball speed is also 12 approaching 13!

But they are all Changsheng schools in Nagano, and there is no comparison with the team in Nagata, which is a round of the competition.

Nagata's fourth stick opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Maybe it's his own delusion, but he always feels like Sawamura's pitching is more than just speed.

There was a quality in the pitcher's pitch that he couldn't tell.

With the four sticks out, others are not immune.

After a while, Akagi completed his garrison mission.

Although the disciple was struck three times in a row, Nagata's coach was not too anxious. Playing a practice match with Akagi, they were already mentally prepared for this. He believes that as long as the game continues, the players will slowly catch up with Sawamura's ball speed. If it's just a straight ball, a ball speed of 12 is not unattainable.

That's why they organized this practice competition. Only by adapting to this ball speed will his disciples be able to challenge other strong schools in Nagano Prefecture in the future.

In the second half of the second inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.

The first to stand in the strike zone was Sawamura, an ace pitcher and fourth baseman.

"Yikes!"

Swinging the bat in his hand vigorously, Sawamura felt very excited.

In his previous life, his blows were not less complained about by the people around him, but now that he is back alive, in addition to achieving those wishes in his mind, he also wants to make achievements in the blow.

Come on, the Sawamura era of big investment and strong fighting has begun.

Swemura Esumi stood steadily on the strike zone, the bat in his hand held high.

Although it looks like he is in a tight position from the stand, in fact, Sawamura's whole posture is very stretched.

Everywhere in his body, there was no deliberate exertion. The bat raised high in his hand shook slightly, as if looking for a certain opportunity, waiting for a single blow.

It's annoying.

The first to notice Sawamura's strangeness was the catcher from Nagata Middle School.,He can't say why.,Just feel that Sawamura's way of waiting for the ball.,People look very annoying.。

Because his bat was constantly shaking, it was actually distracting the pitcher in disguise. People tend to ignore the observation of things that are still and pay great attention to things that are moving.

Now Nagata's pitcher feels like this, and he feels as if the bat in Sawamura's hand looks even bigger than before.

This bat is so big!

It's a very strange feeling, and if you use a bat to hit a flying baseball, there is a big limit to the success rate of the hit. If you want to hit the ball, you have to go through a lot of practice.

But if you're holding a frying pan in your hand, it's much easier to hit, or at least it's easier to touch the ball.

Now Nagata's pitcher has such a strange feeling, he feels that the bat in Sawamura's hand is much larger than the bat in the hands of ordinary hitters.

Of course he knew it was impossible, but the strange feeling lingered.

After all, Sawamura has been trained in the profession, and some small habits that he doesn't particularly care about are actually very reasonable.

As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. It's exactly the same thing when it comes to baseball, as soon as a really expert player comes out, his every move naturally carries that posture.

Here it comes!

In Sawamura's eyes, Nagata pitchers are slow to pitch. Visually, it's about a hundred!

Speaking of which, Sawamura hadn't seen such a slow ball in a long time. The freshman pitcher in Shilun Middle School could still throw the ball to one hundred and one before.

Middle school students, especially those in the third grade, although their physical fitness has not yet fully developed to the peak, is still not far from ten. A ball speed of around 12 is still relatively common.

Even if it's a garbage point, one hundred and one is the safest.

This pitcher's ball speed is only a hundred!

Does he have a weapon other than ball speed?

Sawamura subconsciously thought so, it wasn't that he was too worried, but a professional habit. In the professional arena, it is very dangerous to swing a bat. If you're not careful, you can fall into the rhythm of the other party, so every swing has to be carefully calculated.

Consume the pitcher's pitch count, wait for the right time to swing, and bet on the ball......

These Sawamura have not specialized in training, and after more than ten years of baseball play, he naturally did so.

Today, it's the same.

"Good shot!"

There was no swing on the first ball.

Sawamura calmly chose to see it.

His performance like this is nothing to the people of Akagi. Anyway, in the eyes of Akagi's friends, Sawamura's every move has always been confusing.

But the people at Nagata Middle School were different, they were really scared.

I thought that this pitcher with a 120 plus ball speed was very powerful? After all, he's also an ace pitcher and fourth baseman anyway.

I didn't expect it to be a silver onion wax gun head, which is useless.

"Smack~!"

"Bad ball!"

"Bad ball!"

After observing the three goals, Sawamura gradually understood the strength of his opponent.

It turned out that it wasn't that the opponent had any secret weapons, it was just that he was thinking too much.

The opponent's pitcher ball speed is only about 100, and the reason why he can become an ace is simple, just because he can throw the ball into a good belt.

From this point, you can also see Nagata's level.

"Ahem~"

With a dry cough, Sawamura was a little embarrassed. In his own identity, he was bluffed by a little kid. If you want to say this, that guy in Kuramochi doesn't die laughing?

Seeing through the opponent's hypocrisy, Sawamura had no worries and was ready to swing the baton.

At this time, Nagata's catcher was a little hesitant.

Sawamura didn't swing the bat for three consecutive balls, doesn't it mean that this guy only has a good pitch, and the hit is not good at all.

"If that's the case, then there's no reason for us to run away. Let's have a good shot at it! ”

Thinking about it, he decisively gave the pitcher a good shot.

The pitcher on the pitcher's mound also found confidence in his constant pitching. On the first ball, he was so frightened by Sawamura that he shot straight into the center, but fortunately Sawamura didn't swing his bat at that time.

Otherwise, they will be miserable.

Now it seems that he was frightened by the opponent's pitch, and subconsciously thought that the opponent's blow was also strong. Now, it seems, it may not be like that at all.

Use this ball to solve you!

With determination, the pitcher waved his arms completely. The ball speed is also a lot faster, almost a hundred and one.

In Sawamura's eyes, this ball looks extremely comfortable.

He really couldn't get used to the kind of 100-kilometer ball before. It's the same as a turtle crawling, but it's not easy to seize the time. So a hundred and one is much better!
