Chapter 17: A Different Kind of Baseball (Homage to Pickup)
The game continues.
Although Sawamura saw through Torajiro's shooting characteristics and strategy, it was still not easy for the Seido High School player to win a hit from his hands.
The ball can float up slightly, so can it throw a real float like Sawamura's wrist press?
Straight balls, straight balls with slight uplifts and possibly floats!
These changes alone are enough to give the beaters a headache. Not to mention, the opponent is also a terrifying pitcher with extremely accurate ball control. Throw a straight ball or even a floating ball with a slight float to the corner of the good ball belt.
On the whole, this ace pitcher of Xingnan University is really worthy of his identity as a wealthy ace.
Thinking of this, the Qingdao players will subconsciously look at Sawamura.
They finally understand why their ace pitcher is called the big devil!
Torajiro, who only has a slight way to float the ball, is so terrifying.
It has a strange pitching posture, a quirk ball, a field character grid ball control, and a 14-ball speed of Sawamura. Plus the various bizarre variations he developed......
Even if it is the core strong play of the top giants in the country, it is difficult to win the hit from Sawamura.
Even Qingdao's own friends, when they think of Sawamura's pitching, are all one head and two big. Not to mention, after this game, everyone at Hungnam High School who had just begun to know the horror of Sawamura was coming.
When Sawamura perfectly copied Torajiro's trick, the players from Konan High School looked at Sawamura as if they were aliens.
It's amazing!
Will they really be able to take back the points from this guy's hands?
Ask yourself, all the players in Xingnan University have no score in their hearts. Some of those who are a little less strong feel even more pessimistic.
If Sawamura is in the late stage, if it is not because of physical problems, the ball power has weakened. Not to mention regaining points, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for them to get a hit.
In the second half of the fourth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
Except for the first game, three points were conceded. So far, Torajiro's performance is still very good. Since the home run was formed, he has never had a single hit from Seido High School.
Now, before the turn of the hit, take the home run of the knot.
"Fourth baseman, first baseman, tie up."
After the captain went to the strike zone, the whole audience immediately set off a big wave.
Obviously, the audience's expectations for the formation are still very high.
"If you want to turn the tide, it is very necessary to deal with the strongest beaters in Qingdao here."
The catchers of Hungnam, despite the resistance and stubbornness in their hearts, but considering their current unfavorable situation, the catchers still think that it is necessary to settle the knot here.
Torajiro!
No matter how much pressure you have, the hope of the team can only be pinned on you now!
Play for free!
The catcher's code to Torajiro is very casual and allows Torajiro to play freely.
For geniuses, any stylized ball will limit their play.
In that case, it is better to let them play freely.
On the pitcher's mound, Torajiro was like a beast that had unshackled, and his whole expression became hideous.
It's the opposite of the kind of gentleness he had shown before.
"Did you reveal your true nature?"
In the rest area of Seido High School, Sawamura said with his arms crossed.
He had a vague feeling before, and the detailed information about Torajiro was not available to Seido High School.
But his nickname, Qingdao High School still knows.
Tigers of Okinawa!
For historical reasons, Okinawa is one of the most martial arts areas in the entire island nation.
In this place, it is respected as a tiger.
It can be seen that Torajiro will definitely not be as suave and polite as he showed before.
A person's name may not quite resemble his own personality.
After all, the name is given by the parents, and most of them contain the love and blessings of the parents. But a person's nickname rarely has a big gap with his own personality.
Because this person's nickname is based on his person.
Tiger of Okinawa, Torajiro.
At this time it was finally fully exposed to his true nature.
"Whoosh!"
After revealing his true nature, Torajiro threw the ball more and more crisply.
He had very little time to prepare, and he pitched quickly, although the ball speed was not particularly fast, but because of his whole tempo speed, the pitching was still sharp.
The ball is also aimed at some corners and corners, so that it is not easy for the hitter to swing the bat.
"Good shot!"
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball!"
One good goal, the fourth goal after two bad goals.
The knot on the strike zone can no longer help but swing the baton decisively!
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it fled out of bounds like a dog chasing a rabbit!
Although the ball did not fall into bounds, the ball flew out very fast!
How fast is it?
Even with the garrison of Heungnam High School, from the time the ball was hit to the time the baseball landed, their players did not have time to react.
The rest area of Seido High School.
Seeing the sharp swing of their captain, these players in the rest area of Qingdao High School were all excited, and many of them rushed out of the rest area directly, staring at the changes on the court.
"Come on!"
"Chasing the beater!"
"Let's just get rid of the beaters in one go!"
There was a little friend in the rest area, shouting slogans one by one.
In their opinion, even Torajiro, who completely exposed his true nature, could never be the opponent of his own captain.
Unlike the others, the expression on Sawamura's face was not relaxed.
As a team's ace pitcher, his brain is surprisingly calm at times.
It's like everyone else is cheering for the formed swing of the bat, but in Sawamura's own mind, the situation on the court is now.
Ball count: 2 good, 2 bad!
The beater is chased!
From the pitcher's point of view, after chasing the hitter, the pitcher has a lot of options.
He can use the deciding ball to face the hitter head-on, or he can use the bad ball to catch the hitter swing the bat.
The initiative, firmly in the hands of the pitcher.
"What are you going to do, Torajiro?"
Originally, Sawamura had no other feelings for Torajiro, but after this competition, Sawamura is afraid that he will never forget this name again in his life.
Although in the memories of his previous life, there is not much information about Torajiro.
But I have to say that at this time in this life, Torajiro took Sawamura and experienced a different kind of baseball.
A kind of baseball that is absolutely impossible to play in the hands of professional baseball players!
Play!
It's a mentality that once you get professional, especially when you get to the big leagues, baseball is meant to be played.
And only in this student era will there be the experience of playing.
