Chapter 9: The appearance of Qingdao High School
A good pitcher, the best way to show his excellence, is nothing more than a few.
First and foremost, of course, is ball speed.
Theoretically, as long as the pitcher reaches a certain level of ball speed, any hitter will come up for nothing. It's like the peerless magic described in martial arts, as long as you practice the peerless internal skills, you can also hurt people.
It's the same with ball speed.
Akira Shibuyani of the baseball club of Qingdao High School, until now, the time to learn baseball is only a year.
In just one year, he became one of the top star pitchers in the country.
What is this for?
Quite simply, because he has the fastest ball speed in the country.
So he can learn baseball with half the effort.
The same applies to other people.
As long as the ball speed is increased to a certain range, it must be a very good pitcher.
Of course, how powerful can it be? It also depends on how fast you are and if you have any other characteristics.
In addition to ball speed, another thing that can make pitchers stand out is ball control.
Able to shoot the ball well at the corners of the belt, and only able to throw the ball into the center.
The gap between the two is also a world of difference.
On top of these two, there are other qualities.
For example, the change in pitching, the rhythm of pitching, the size of the pitcher......
These can indirectly affect the strength of a pitcher.
A strong pitcher must also have characteristics that others do not have in these aspects.
For example, the fairy grass in front of you is straight.
His characteristics are very obvious.
First of all, his tall height, 188 centimeters, combined with his slender arms.
He is tantamount to occupying the commanding heights!
Pitching from his position, the trajectory of the baseball flight is not a straight line at all, but a diagonal line from top to bottom.
In this way, if the hitter wants to hit his ball, he must find the point where the bat and baseball cross.
The timing judgment of the hitter is very demanding.
On top of that, he is not slow on the ball, boasting a speed in the second half of 130km. (More than 135 km, less than 140 km.) )
The ball control is also quite tricky, and the ball is almost always concentrated at a low angle.
This makes the slash from top to bottom even steeper!
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Ping!"
"Out-of-bounds!!"
Yoichi Kuramochi's strength has long been different from what it used to be, but even now, he is helpless against the pitching of fairy grass.
One or two balls in a row, both of which were touched and flew out of bounds.
"Damn, this guy's deviation value is higher than expected."
Originally, Kuramochi Yoichi thought that Xiancao Nao would have a beautiful face, and the others were not worth mentioning at all.
As a result, I found out that it was not the case at all.
Even though this guy's pitching looks unpretentious, the gold content is surprisingly high.
It's not easy to hit a ball like him that doesn't look particularly fast.
"Ping!"
After a few balls, this time the ball was scored on the pitch.
The baseball bounced off the infield and flew towards the third baseman.
"Good chance!"
The third baseman of Feilian High School has no way to hide the excitement in his eyes.
He ran up quickly, ready to kill Yoichi Kuramochi.
"Smack!"
Slipped the bouncing ball into the glove.
The third baseman of Fei Lian High School was ready to pass the ball to block Yoichi Kuramochi.
When he turned his head to look at first base, he was stunned.
Oops, what's that?
The Kuramori, who had just hit the ball, was only about ten meters away from first base!
How could it be so fast?
The third baseman was stunned.
The pitcher's mounds are going crazy.
"Quick!"
He hurriedly beckoned his teammates to pass the ball.
At this time, the third baseman of Feilian High School also reacted. Pull up the pitch and pass the ball to first base.
"Smack!"
The white ball was like a sharp arrow, and it went straight to first base.
It's just someone who is quicker than the ball, a split second before the ball is passed back to first base.
A blue-blue figure had already run over in advance.
"Safety!!"
When the linesman announced the result, the scene immediately showed an unusually high momentum.
"I'll go, what was that?"
"The infield bounce ball in front of the third baseman, and someone can run to first base."
"How fast is this guy?"
The people from Feilian University were dumbfounded.
The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are very excited.
Laughing and cheering for Kuramochi Yokachi!
Sawamura Eisumi and Mikoi also glanced at each other in surprise.
It shouldn't be an illusion, this guy is faster.
Although Kuramochi was able to run the base with the rebound ball of the infield before.
But at that time, the position that was played out was generally good.
For a ball like the front of the third baseman, as long as the opponent does not make a passing error, it is still difficult for Kuramochi to force a base.
It may be a few steps away, but those few steps are enough to make the difference between life and death.
And just now, Kuramochi actually used a rebound ball from the front of a third baseman and ran directly to first base.
Although he didn't pinch the stopwatch to calculate, his speed did improve.
And it's improved a lot.
Sawamura glanced thoughtfully at Chen Ping, who was sitting on the rest chair.
It's weird.
Could it be that speed is also contagious, making the speed of this guy faster.
If this is really the case, then should I be closer to Chen Ping and be a pair of close friends.
Maybe Chen Ping's speed can also infect himself......
No one is out, there is someone on first base.
At this time, the city of Kominato, who played the second bat, went to the strike zone.
He was instructed by Superintendent Kataoka to put on a short punch directly.
"Ping!"
The little white ball is shot out and rolls down to first base.
"Safety!"
"Out !!"
Naturally, safety is Yoichi Kuraji.
Out of the game is Kominato Haruchi.
The situation became one out, and there was someone on second base.
With the speed of the position, as long as any hitter at this time, he can run back to home plate.
This is also the intention of Superintendent Kataoka.
Superintendent Kataoka was vaguely aware of the danger of Senkusa.
In order to support the drop of pitching, he thinks that it is best to score points first at this time.
In this way, Akira will be able to pitch more easily.
If you can realize the problem now, and then correct it.
It's definitely better than Inspector Kataoka bringing it up directly.
Kataoka may still be lacking in directing the game. There are also shortcomings when coaching the skills of the players.
But to develop a player, especially to develop the mentality of a player.
He's the best in the country.
Most of the players he trained have a positive and enterprising heart.
This is very rare in a competitive sport.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
That's sometimes the case in sports, especially in direct face-to-face competitions.
Without a strong heart, no matter how good the technology is, it can't be brought into play.
"Third bat, outfielder, Eijun Sawamura!"
At this time, Sawamura Eijun, who played the third bat, stepped into the strike zone.
From the moment he stood in the strike zone, it was obvious that the atmosphere around him was different.
The sound of those girls chattering was obviously much louder than just now.
Kuramachi on second base, pouting in dissatisfaction.
I already have girlfriends, and I'm still recruiting bees and butterflies here, which is really unreliable at all.
Now girls really have a problem with their vision, why don't girls like him like a reliable boy?
In the rest area of Feilian High School.
There are many people who have the same idea as Kuramochi.
They stared at Sawamura Eijun with hot eyes, and they felt as if they were going to swallow Sawamura Eijun.
The girls in the volleyball club and the cheerleading team, their own team is not enough points, how can they let an outsider give it to the top?
Feilian High School is most famous for its football club, followed by the women's volleyball club, the boys' basketball club, the girls' basketball club, and the girls' badminton club......
The baseball club's rankings have fallen out of the top 10.
It was the fairy grass that joined in, making the baseball club the second only to the football club.
The friends of the baseball club are both happy and a little disappointed at the same time.
This is really a world of faces!
Now that I see the baseball club of Qingdao High School, I can actually compete with them on their turf.
They are keenly aware of this.
This is indeed a world of faces.
Although they are all in good shape, their faces are relatively rough, and they do not belong to that kind of delicate boys.
Compared to them, the players in the baseball club of Seido High School are generally about 1.75 meters to 1.80 meters.
Although not as tall as them, they are definitely slender.
The most important thing is the face of the people, Qingdao High School, except for the front garden that looks a little rough, the others are counted as one, and they are all very exquisite.
If you change into a brand-name suit, you can go directly to the catwalk.
Especially Eijun Sawamura.
Whether it's when you're laughing or when you're serious, it's very attractive.
Coupled with the aura of his star player, the first big demon king in the country.
Let his whole person have a different kind of charm.
When you stand there, it's like a giant luminous body.
Originally, the presence of fairy grass was also very strong.
Compared with other players in Qingdao High School, it is even a lot more than that.
But compared to Sawamura Eijun, he is like a star next to the moon.
Although it is also quite bright, it is obviously not a level of size.
"This is the legendary Great Demon King!"
In middle school, there was a saying about the 12 heavenly kings.
One of them is the fairy grass straight.
Originally, this name was very loud, but later compared with the big demon king Sawamura Eijunichi, he was completely compared.
Any good player is arrogant.
In middle school, Senkusa-Nao didn't have a chance to fight against Sawamura Eijun.
Now that he has finally found an opportunity, he still wants to share his rivalry with this great demon king.
At the same time, Fei Lian's coach played a guarantee code.
The fairy grass on the pitcher's mound frowned.
Walks?
How can it be!
