Chapter Thirty-Eight: Your Overseer Is Coming Soon (Ask for Subscription)
"Strikeout!"
When they saw this out, everyone at the scene was a little stunned.
The ball that Sawamura threw just now was too clear, it was different from all Sawamura's previous pitches, and you didn't need to stand in the strike zone to see it, you could clearly see the movement trajectory of the baseball when you looked at it from the side. It was a change ball that kept escaping from the middle of the ball to the outside corner, and there was a certain amount of dropping.
It's hard to give a name to the ball just from the change in the path.
A slider is not like a slider, a curveball is not like a curveball, and if I have to say, it is a bit like an upside-down stretch ball, which usually falls to the beater's feet before entering the good ball belt. And this ball is almost the same trajectory, flying in the opposite direction to the outer corner.
"That's a problem!"
After seeing this goal, Ryosuke Kominato had a premonition that their next situation would be very difficult.
The ball that came into hand and fled quickly to the outside corner was too difficult to hit!
It's very difficult to get the ball out perfectly.
Of course, this is not the most terrible. If you really want to aim for this ball, Chris and Yucheng won't necessarily be able to hit it. The problem is, you can't deliberately aim for this ball, and Sawamura will throw a ball that is not the kind of ball.
He also has straight balls, and straight balls with multiple variations!
In this way, you can only bite one kind of ball to swing the bat, and the straight ball system is still the change ball just now.
Fifty percent probability!
Now there are two people in the third grade, Chris and Yucheng, in terms of probability, the probability that the two of them can guess in a row is only a quarter, and the two guess one in two accounts for one-in-one, and there is also a one-quarter probability of consecutive wrong guesses.
This is not a regular game, in a regular game, a hit, Qingdao has the hope of cooperating to score points. But now, with a hit, it means they lost.
These thoughts instantly skipped Ryosuke Kominato's mind, and his face became complicated.
If the ball with such a large change is shot, it is impossible to hit the ball with a straight ball. If you bite the ball with such a change, you don't have to think about the ball of Sawamura's straight ball.
Although it is only a change ball, such a change ball is enough to make Sawamura's pitching evolve as a whole.
Sawamura, which was already terrifying, is definitely even more terrifying now.
"Be careful!"
Watching Chris walk up to the strike zone, Ryosuke Kominato whispered.
"I know!"
Chris's face became solemn.
He fought against Sawamura before, and he had an advantage. He knows Sawamura well, and combined with Miyuki's character and Chris's own guesses, it is naturally not difficult to guess Sawamura's ball path. But now that a new ball of change has been added, it's hard to say.
The main thing is that he can't judge the status of this change ball in the minds of Sawamura and Miyuki!
If you want to guess the opponent's match, in addition to the general rules, there is another rule that is very important, that is, what kind of ball, is the opponent's pitcher, the most confident pitch.
When Miyuki guesses someone else's ball, why does he like to hit the opponent's decisive ball? The reason is very simple, the opponent's decisive ball must be the opponent's most confident way of ball, and when it is most necessary to win a good number of balls, the probability of the opponent's decisive ball is the highest. In this way, as long as you can hit the opponent's decisive ball, you will naturally have a high probability of guessing the right way to hit it.
Like this change ball that Sawamura just used, the changes are so sharp that it's really amazing!
For the average pitcher, Sawamura's changing ball can definitely be used as a deciding shot.
But if the opponent is Sawamura, it cannot be measured by a general pitcher.
So if Chris wants to guess Miyuki's match, he must understand what kind of weight this ball occupies in the minds of Miyuki and Sawamura?
Is it a very important ball path? Or is it the deciding goal?
Chris pondered for a moment and decided that there was not much hope of a decisive goal!
Before, Sawamura specially asked Miyuki to go over to practice throwing, and this ball should be the result of their practice just now. Miyuki looks bold on the surface, but he is very regular when it comes to the ball, and he belongs to the most orthodox catcher.
It's hard to imagine that such a catcher would use a freshly practiced ball as a deciding shot. At least Chris himself, Chris would never do that.
So this ball will not be used as a deciding goal!
But since Sawamura and Miyuki deliberately took it out to practice, this must be their next matching, a very important way to play the ball.
"Then it's not the first ball, it's the second ball, and the change ball will definitely fly over."
Chris thinks Sawamura and Miyuki want to better show the power of this change ball. Then they will definitely make one of the first or second balls.
The hitter has three chances to bet on the road.
"Then bet on the latest change ball!"
Having made up his mind, Chris waited patiently for the ball.
"Good shot!"
"Good Ball !!"
Two goals in a row, the change ball that Chris imagined did not come.
Chris, who was bent on aiming for the change ball, naturally couldn't swing the bat.
The number of balls, two good, zero bad, Chris was chased.
At this time, Chris was not without doubts about his previous judgment, but it was not advisable to temporarily change his established strategy.
He had to go all the way to the black, and bet the last ball on Sawamura's latest change ball.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!
Until the end, Sawamura's latest change ball did not come.
In the last ball, although Chris swung the bat, how could he, aiming for the change ball, hit the floating ball in the inside corner of Sawamura?
In this matchup, Chris did not lose unjustly. Hitters who like to guess the path of the ball to hit will have a hard time hitting the ball once the data is wrong.
Chris had made a mistake in the data he had gathered, and he had miscalculated the place of the latest change ball in the minds of Miyuki and Sawamura.
That's just a bluff ball!
How can it be used as a key ball or even a decisive goal?
It was this small mistake that made Sawamura shake Chris three times, and it was also a revenge for the previous one.
Two strikeouts, and only one hitter is left to form Tetsuya.
As long as you can't hit a home run, then Sawamura will win this game.
A knuckle ball on a bluff!
That's right, you read that right, that ball seems very weird and unreasonable to others. But for Sawamura, it's just a natural variation of using a finger fork ball, holding the ball between two fingers, and throwing.
This is Sawamura's finger fork ball, also called Shenka ball-change!
In the fourth game, the last duel, Sawamura played and was formed.
The two had just started their stance and were ready to face off. On the dam that surrounded the small river beach, two middle-aged figures appeared.
Kataoka, the superintendent of Seido High School, rushed to the scene.
