Chapter 121: Two Levels! (2nd Update)
Home run!
As Haruka Nanami hit a home run with Koichiro Tanba's high-drop curveball, the entire Koshien stands fell into jubilation.
"Nanami!"
"Nanami !!"
Except for the die-hard supporters of Seido High School, the rest of the melon-eating crowd all fanatically shouted the name of Nanami Haruka.
So far, it seems that Seido High School has been hit a home run for the first time.
Sure enough, the dramatic result is very adrenaline-pumping for the audience.
Now these spectators in the stands are a little abnormal......
The kind of tremendous pressure that was originally created by Qingdao High School, as if Mount Tai was overpowering, also disappeared with this home run from Haruka Nanami.
Not only the audience was surprised, but even the people of Xinglong University themselves were also surprised.
In the rest area of Xinglong High School.
Fengxiang Long Yi's eyes still flashed with disbelief.
"This guy is too capable!"
When he went to recruit Nanami Haruka, he had a long conversation with the old man Hiromitsu Yamano. (Yamano was Haruka Nanami's coach in middle school.)
At that time, the old man in the mountains told him clearly. If you want to use Haruka Nanami and let him fully exert his strength, you must trust him wholeheartedly.
The trust you give him will be as great as he gives you.
"I thought that old boy was lying to me, but I didn't expect it to be true."
As long as you give Nanami Haruka enough trust, Nanami Haruka will definitely return a miracle to you.
In the rest area of Seido High School.
All the players chose to remain silent, their pitchers were hit with a home run, and they didn't know what to say at this time.
Superintendent Kataoka's eyes were a little heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Because he wears sunglasses, others can't see the look in his eyes, and they don't know how to talk.
Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and said in a deep voice, "As far as the pitching just now, it can't be said that there is a problem. β
Superintendent Kataoka nodded imperceptibly.
Just now, there is no big problem with Koichiro Tanba's pitching.
There are many reasons why pitchers throw balls that are hit. The problem of pitching itself, the problem of the ball being seen through, or even just the player's simple play......
These are all possible.
Just now, I can only praise Xinglong University's fourth bat, which played really well.
That kind of pitching, there is no way to get out.
This loss is not particularly important, it is important after that.
Will Tamba be able to hold on?
In the press box.
Fujifu's summary is the most accurate.
"Of all the high school bench pitchers now, Koichiro Tanba's strength is definitely one of the best. But that doesn't mean there are no problems with his own pitching. As far as it has been before, Tamba-san's pitching has at least two weaknesses. The first is that after 70 balls, the pitch will be unstable. Of course, this weakness is mainly aimed at the ace pitcher, and now as a substitute pitcher, Tamba's classmate does not exist in fact. The second weakness is that someone hits a home run, or after someone goes to second base, Tanba is also prone to mistakes. β
In the current situation, it is the second.
"Koichiro Tanba was already a first-class pitcher before. If he can overcome his second weakness, then he will be able to build on his top-notch foundation. β
More than 4,000 colleges and universities, pitching tens of thousands. As far as these people are concerned, there are not three or five hundred first-class pitchers, but at least two or three hundred.
It's a mixed bag, and the strength is uneven.
And once you can go one step further, you can become a top-notch pitcher.
Tamba will be in the top 50 or even higher.
Don't underestimate this gap, it's fatal, and if it's just a first-class pitcher, Dambo doesn't even have the minimum requirements to enter professional baseball.
But if it's a top-notch pitcher, it's a big difference. That means that Tamba does have the strength to enter professional baseball!
With such strength, even if you choose not to join professional baseball in the future, various universities will rush to get it.
Top pitchers, top top pitchers. It's two words off, but it's two levels that are very different.
Coach Ochiai glanced at Supervisor Kataoka curiously.
He didn't know, how would Superintendent Kataoka choose at this time?
Whether to let Koichiro Tanba accept the challenge, or choose to change the pitcher right now.
Superintendent Kataoka did not speak.
"Looks like we're going to choose the former."
Ochiai laughed.
Superintendent Kataoka is a pure instructor. For the sake of the players' future, I really have to go out.
Let the whole team follow along on an adventure!
Although it seems a little naΓ―ve, as a human being, it cannot be said that it is not moving.
The game continues.
"Fifth baseman, first baseman, Kenen Matsumoto."
At this time, it was Matsumoto's turn to strike.
His eyes were firmly locked on Tamba in the pitcher's mound.
No matter what the people at Seido High School thought, now is indeed their best chance to attack Tamba.
Just hit a home run by Haruka Nanami, if Koichiro Tanba is not that kind of iron man, then his current high-drop curveball is equivalent to being sealed.
Now all you have to do is aim for a straight ball or a fork ball!
From 1 out of 3 to 1 out of 2.
The probability has increased a lot.
Come on! Come on!
I'm impatient.
In the position of the catcher, Chris first glanced at the rest area.
For the home run just now, Superintendent Kataoka did not give any instructions.
This means that Tambo has to continue to pitch.
Taking a deep breath, Chris calmed himself down before returning his gaze to Tamba.
If Sawamura is standing on the pitcher's mound right now, it doesn't matter if the ball just hit a home run.
Sawamura Eijun's psychological quality is strong, and even if he is hit a home run, it is estimated that he will not leave any shadow. The ball that is hit with a home run can still be thrown.
And even if that ball can't be thrown, Sawamura has several variations as an alternative.
In short, if the partner is Sawamura, this situation is easy to deal with.
But if the partner is Koichiro Tanba, this situation is not so simple.
First of all, the first point, the high-drop curveball that has just been hit by a home run is equivalent to being sealed!
At least this game, it's hard to vote.
Chris didn't even dare to experiment with Tanba throwing, he was afraid that if Tanba Koichiro didn't throw well, it would leave a bigger psychological shadow.
Then the balls that can be used are ordinary straight balls and knuckle balls.
For them, the range of options is much smaller. And Koichiro Tanba's knuckle ball is not the same as a high-drop curveball.
A high-drop curveball is a ball that can be used as a lifeline to throw.
Finger fork ball is not.
"It's harder."
