Chapter 16: Large Home Run

"That person is Feng Xiang, the young Feng Xiang Aoyi."

Shi Lun is different from Akagi, they have several players who have transferred from the Little League. Almost at first sight, they recognized Feng Xiang's identity, you must know that in Nagano's young stick at that time, Feng Xiang was also a man of the hour!

He is known as the Nagano Twin Stars along with Haruka Nanami.

The two teamed up to create the best record in the history of Nagano Metropolitan Junior League, and the runner-up in the Kanto region. There is no unified national competition for elementary schools, and for children in the Kanto region, the Kanto Regional Championship is already the highest level of competition they can come into contact with.

Since then, it seems that he has never heard from Feng Xiang again. Everyone speculated that he may have chosen baseball to study abroad and joined a youth baseball or Haoqiang middle school in another place.

I didn't expect to see him in Akagi, it's really surprising.

"It's Feng Xiang, no wonder ......"

"But how could such a person be in Akagi? Shouldn't he go somewhere stronger? ”

"Who knows, he probably has his own reasons."

A few people who have little experience have a lot of discussions. It's really that the Nagano Twins are too famous, and they can't pretend they don't care if they want to.

Sawamura was in this case, ascending to the strike zone.

He also faintly heard the discussion, although it was not very real, but he could judge it. Everyone should have recognized the identity of Senior Feng Xiang.

Sawamura didn't know much about Feng Xiang Aoyi's previous experience, but he could also guess that Feng Xiang was definitely extraordinary.

The first time I saw my own pitching, I was able to seize the opportunity to swing the bat, such an eye and skill, as far as Sawamura knew, Feng Xiang Aoichi was enough to rank in the top 1,000. If it is limited to players of the same age, among the people Sawamura knows, Feng Xiang Aoyi can even rank in the top 100.

This ranking may not seem like a big deal, but it's not. You must know Ezawamura's experience, he had seen many top fighters of the same era in Qingdao in his previous life, not to mention that he had also seen professional masters and strong fights in the major leagues later.

Among these people, Feng Xiang can be ranked in the top 100.

How could such a player be unknown before?

If you change to an ordinary person, you can't help but be curious about Feng Xiang Aoyi's previous experience. Ke Zecun will not, he has even experienced rebirth, not to mention that in his previous life, even in the major leagues, he was a famous rescue pitcher.

It is difficult for such a person to be interested in a player who has made a name for himself in elementary school.

For Sawamura, the real test of a person's strength is the last year or two of middle school and high school. At that time, you can really see the potential of a player. On the baseball field, it's been a few hours, and there is no shortage of examples of big and not necessarily good.

Elementary school, because some people develop early, and some people develop late. At that time, there may have been a big gap in strength, but it is difficult to say what happened later. Unlike middle school and high school, where the body has already developed seventy or eighty percent, it is easier to see a person's potential in comparison.

Even in professional baseball, professional scouts value the experience of youth baseball (middle school) and high school more than the player's experience, and even count these in the player's database. As for the few sticks, unless they are exceptionally prominent, they will not be scored.

How prominent Feng Xiang Aoichi was in middle school, Sawamura couldn't care.

Since he has entered Akagi, he is Akagi's partner and teammate. Regardless of whether they were famous or unheard of before, Sawamura did not intend to live up to them.

"The seniors are all on base, as the four bats in the team, I can't disappoint you if I say anything!"

Sawamura's eyes were calm, ignoring the whispers of the surrounding audience, and his eyes were fixed on the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.

His preoccupation scared Shi Lun's little friends.

Before the game, they had heard their coach Ishikawa say that Akagi's team was formed with Sawamura as the core. In the previous match against their second army, Sawamura also showed a good blow.

Three overs and two hits.

Batting average, six out of six.

He is a very good player, and he is very strong in both throwing and hitting.

If there is any enviable position on the baseball field, it is undoubtedly the ace pitcher and four-baseman.

You don't need to show much, just by listening to the name, you can feel the weight of this person in the team. In the current Akagi, this is the case with Sawamura.

Although two strong players, Okuchi Fengxiang and Oda Motoyu, joined, Sawamura's status did not change.

He remains the team's core four-man and ace pitcher.

Pitcher mound.

Tanaka let out a sigh of relief, he knew that Sawamura's strength should be good, otherwise he wouldn't have squeezed Feng Xiang Aoichi to the third stick.

But he Tanaka is not the Miki of the Second Army, and when he competed with Feng Xiang Aoichi, because he didn't recognize the other party, he didn't use his own decisive ball.

But now, he decided to use the decider to face Sawamura.

Thinking about it, he also glanced at the cowshed on his side.

Coach Ishikawa nodded at him.

Although now is a good opportunity to send the opponent four bats, such a development seems to be more beneficial to Shi Lun.

However, considering the situation of the game, Coach Ishikawa still did not see the need to escape from Sawamura. Not to mention that Tanaka and Sawamura may not lose the duel, and Sawamura's blow is not so strong that it is terrifying. Again, they are seeded teams after all, and they have to play with the momentum of a seeded team.

Once they escape the showdown with Sawamura, the little guys under their command are likely to think that the other party is the kind of invincible opponent......

Carrying such psychological baggage is likely to make it more difficult for them to play in the following games.

Baseball games are similar to the confrontation between the two armies, and the stronger the side, the more dignified it is to use its strength to crush the opponent. Even if you have to take some risks in the process, it doesn't matter.

"Whoosh!"

With the permission of the coach, Tanaka made a decisive throw.

The baseball flew out of his hand like a light into the catcher's glove, and there was a crisp 'pop' sound from the glove.

"Bad ball!"

The pitch was a little off the inside corner and the referee awarded a bad ball.

In this ball, Sawamura did not swing the bat.

He was in the strike zone and saw it very clearly. The ball speed is one hundred and twenty-five, and the average inside corner straight ball. This kind of ball road, for Sawamura, who has received professional baptism, is like a child's play.

Just now, the ball was a little tricky, and Sawamura was not sure that the ball he hit would stop in bounds, so he didn't swing the bat.

Now it's a bad ball, according to Shi Lun's partner's previous matching habits, then they should be able to shoot the next ball - the outside corner!

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flies in, and the path of the ball is a straight ball from the outside corner.

Such a ball, if the swing is not complete, can easily be hit into a throw-in. Shi Lun's throwing partner, with this ball, also wants to use this ball to win a good number of balls with a throw-in.

It's a pity that they didn't know that this ball had already been bitten by Sawamura.

Shi Lun's pitcher, who has good ball control, can distinguish simple inside and outside corners. A pitcher with such a wide ball path will generally make the hitter feel that the good ball belt is unusually wide, and it is difficult to aim at the pitcher's pitching angle. But for an old fritter like Sawamura, the more a pitcher with good ball control like this, the easier it is to guess his ball.

Just like now, after a bad ball in the inside corner, the opponent has at least a 70% probability of throwing a straight ball in the outside corner!

And seventy percent is enough for Sawamura to take risks.

Sawamura's entire body spun like a spinning top, and as he turned, the bat in his hand began to swing.

"Ping Pong !!"

Without any suspense, Sawamura's bat hit the white ball hard, and then I saw that the ball that was hit out kept flying, all the way up.

"Fly, fly out!!"
