Chapter 42: Epilogue
As the saying goes, the fist never leaves the hand, and the song never leaves the mouth!
It's sports, or whatever. As long as there is no serious contact for a long time, it is difficult for people to maintain peak condition.
Don't look at these friends in the third year of Qingdao High School, they were all trained by Kataoka. But Kataoka's own strength, especially his current strength, is really not necessarily that strong.
Miyuki gave Sawamura a code, don't underestimate the strength of the superintendent, and be cautious when pitching.
Even so, Miyuki himself didn't think that Kataoka, who had retired from the college baseball team for six years, would be able to play Sawamura's ball well. The players of Qingdao High School practice swinging every day, because they have to rely on their own performance to climb up. To represent the team in the game, to win, there are even many friends who want to rely on the bat in their hands to play a future.
In this way, even if no one supervises them, they practice swinging the bat every day, and the bat is like their own hands and feet to them.
And although Kataoka is also instructing everyone to train, he has retired as a coach, so he doesn't have to practice swinging his stick every day. He doesn't have to compete, what's the point of swinging the bat every day?
Swinging practice is very boring!
Do people insist on doing something boring and meaningless?
Of course not!
So Miyuki is sure that if you simply talk about the blow, the Kataoka superintendent must be as good as the formation.
It's better to hit a senior and hit Sawamura's ball for the first time standing on the strike zone!
These two aspects are combined, and no matter how you think about Kataoka, you have no chance of winning.
On the pitcher mound, Sawamura had exactly the same idea.
Kataoka's power, pitching, swinging, may still be very powerful, and even these aspects are not inferior to those of professional players. But his feel is definitely not as good as the Qingdao friends who swing the stick every day.
In the face of such an opponent, it is not difficult to solve him.
First Ball: Speed Ball!
Because there is no information about Kataoka's batting, the Miyuki ball is also more casual.
On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura also understood what Miyuki meant, was it nothing more than teasing the overseer? The first ball that misses the swing is a speed change ball, which has a double hit effect on the hitter.
"Well, it will be done for you!"
Sawamura himself is also full of bad taste, and it is not bad to use a bold match to tease his own supervision.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's momentum was amazing, his right leg was raised high, and then, like a tomahawk, he slashed down fiercely. As his center of gravity shifted, he swung his arm like a whip and threw the ball.
It wasn't until Sawamura threw the ball that Kataoka saw Sawamura's release point.
On the strike zone, there was a hint of relief in the eyes wearing sunglasses.
Sure enough, standing in the strike zone, this posture is different. I couldn't see the ball point at all. Not to mention pitching, just such a posture is also a very advantageous weapon.
It's worthy of my training!
I was self-absorbed for a fraction of a second, and then Kataoka's expression changed, and what was originally an iceberg turned into a sword that was about to be unsheathed.
Here it comes!
Sawamura's pitch roared, and Kataoka calculated the timing and shot decisively.
"Ping!"
The little white ball was hit and flew high.
The ball flew over the dam, over the high wall, and into Qingdao's campus.
Home run!
One bat, home run!!
Everyone in the audience was stunned at this moment, so sluggish that they didn't move.
They have either played Sawamura's ball or played Sawamura's ball, and they have a clear understanding of Sawamura's speed ball. (Masuko: I didn't!) )
Such a ball would be hit directly with a home run?
This......
"Alright, the results are in!"
Loading 13 successfully, Kataoka threw away the bat.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's expression was like eating a fly, and the swing of the bat just now made him feel the taste of professionalism. It is more mature and powerful than the formed swing, and it is a strong professional-level swing.
Kataoka Iron Heart!
His strength is so terrifying.
I had known this, I had known that he was a batter who waited for the ball to enter his hand before swinging the bat, and it was impossible for Sawamura to throw a speedball at Kataoka.
The temporary underestimation of the enemy, causing such a result, is really something that Sawamura did not expect.
It's not like he can't afford to lose, though.
"I lost!"
Looking at Sawamura and smiling with relief, the rest of Seido actually felt that such Sawamura was more attractive and trustworthy.
Minister Ota was afraid that Sawamura would be hit and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Don't look at our supervisor coldly, that person still retains the strength of a professional-level player!"
Ota said this with a sincere heart.
Sawamura himself remembered many details that he had overlooked in his previous life.
Kataoka often wields a stick to guide everyone in training, and the swing itself is amazing. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Kataoka once supported the garrison practice of all the third-year main forces by himself.
He single-handedly drilled all the third-grade main forces to paralyze!
If he didn't train on weekdays, how could his arms be able to eat?
Kataoka has never faced a pitcher in the strike zone, probably not because he is afraid of losing himself, but because he is afraid of the pitcher collapsing, right?
"Overseer Boss!"
After Sawamura lost, he didn't bother with it. Running up excitedly, he bowed to Kataoka and apologized.
"I'm sorry!"
After Sawamura finished saluting, he immediately said, "Let's have another game!" ”
was hit a home run, and there was no confusion in Sawamura's eyes, but a glint of light.
"It's like a teenager who has just learned to play!"
Kataoka nodded: "The opportunity to fight, it's not something you want to have, you must be able to have." You haven't forgotten what you said before, have you? ”
"Nope!"
"Let's run until before dinner!"
"Yes!"
Sawamura ran towards the campus.
Looking at the back of Sawamura who was far away, a smile appeared on the corner of Kataoka's mouth.
Then he looked behind him: "You go too!" ”
Izzo muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's not who loses ......"
"Vacation canceled, extra training until the end of dinner, extra training events, running. Do you still have questions? ”
"Nope! No!!! ”
When Kataoka revealed the majesty of supervision, Iza and everyone had no doubts.
The third grade is gone.
Miyuki quietly hid in the bridge hole, ready to slip away.
"You go too!"
Really~
Miyuki had a loveless expression on his face and left with the third-grade seniors.
The sun was setting, and outside the stadium of the Qingdao High School baseball club, a group of people were running circles.
Captain Yusari, Isa, Kominato, Masuko, Miyuki, Chris, and Sawamura in the first year.
"What happened?"
"That guy in Sawamura, why is he running with the seniors of the main force of the first army?"
"Did we miss something......
On the field, there are also the second and third army friends who have been training, and they are looking at those who are running like prehistoric dinosaurs.
This incident has many benefits for Sawamura. Not to mention the pitching, after being punished, he became close to the third-grade seniors, which can be regarded as a hardship. (Actually, it's the strength that is recognized.) )
After today, Sawamura officially began his new career in the First Army.
