Chapter 14: Three Strikes (1st Update)

"Are you kidding?"

Even if he knew that the strength of the Great Demon King was extraordinary, but seeing that his senior couldn't even swing a stick, Xiao Sun still felt incredulous.

Didong, like Qingdao, is the top traditional and wealthy university in the country.

And it's different from the previous bad luck and didn't get into Koshien for several years. In recent years, Teeto High School has continued to flourish and has participated in Koshien several times.

In this case, the quality of the players they recruited is naturally stronger than that of Qingdao High School.

Such an outstanding player received two full years of training in the wealthy Didong High School before being promoted to the main force of the team.

How strong are they? It can well be imagined.

Little Sun himself once said that he didn't want to play with these teammates on his team.

Just thinking about it is an extremely troublesome thing.

These seniors may not be Sawamura's opponents, which is not surprising to Xiao Sun. But to say that with their strength, they can't even swing a stick, and Xiao Sun is really unacceptable.

"That's a bit too strong!"

Next to Xiao Sun, Qian, who was preparing to play, looked a little distant.

"The ball is faster than you think!"

You don't have to stand in the hitting zone to watch, even if you just stand on the side, you can clearly feel the improvement of Sawamura's ball speed.

"It's only been a little over a month since Koshien ended, and the increase in ball speed is a bit terrifying."

Qian said hesitantly.

"It's not just improved, as early as the Koshien finals, Sawamura's ball speed has been greatly improved compared to before."

Little Sun is not surprised by this.

After entering high school, most of the first year has been reborn and improved.

Others are like that, and the Great Demon King is naturally no exception.

Isn't he the same as the well, with a very big improvement?

While the two were talking, the third stick of Didong High School was also solved.

Sawamura's pitching, fast-paced and scary, doesn't give the hitter a chance to breathe at all.

Almost as soon as Miyuki passed the ball back, he was ready to pitch the ball directly.

There is hardly any pause or rest in between.

The most terrifying thing is that in this process, he can still maintain the containment of the runners on the front.

The first stick of Didong High School, speed and agility are nothing to say, and their status in their school is second to none.

Such a player, facing Sawamura, can't even be too far away from base.

He seems to have a hunch that if he gets out of the base pack beyond a certain range, he will be pinned down immediately.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!!

Without any mud and water, the batter of the third batter was directly knocked out by the strikeout.

Of the three players on the field, except for the first base, who went to base due to an accident, the others didn't even touch Sawamura's ball.

The rest area of Tei Dong High School.

Overseer Yaichi Okamoto, who is already 65 years old, gradually turned pale.

It's not that he doesn't know that the Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun is terrifying.

When he was studying the Seido High School competition before, he found that Sawamura Eijun was not ordinary. At that time, he realized that it would not be easy to win points from Sawamura Eijun, so he developed such a strategy for the team.

Don't give up any chances, based on the score you get.

I didn't expect that when I actually fought with Sawamura Eijun, the feeling would be different.

The fundamentals are so solid that he doesn't look like a pitcher on a wild road at all.

A good pitcher doesn't just throw a good shot, there are many other considerations in this.

For example, the rhythm of the pitch, the control of the game, the level of containment, the ability to defend, etc., etc.

These are the basic skills of a pitcher.

Sawamura Eijun's basic skills are solid, and they are simply outrageous.

The first is to have a steady pitching rhythm, to be able to keep pitching so fast and to be able to throw every ball at a very high level, which is extremely difficult in itself.

Theoretically, the faster the pace of the pitch and the shorter the preparation time, the more difficult it should be to control the accuracy of the pitch.

Therefore, when a pitcher throws the ball, the gap between the two balls will be relatively large.

In this way, the time for the beater to prepare will be correspondingly longer.

And Sawamura Eijun's pitching is completely in one go.

He suppressed his opponent in one go, and did not give his opponent a chance to breathe at all. In itself, his ball is difficult to hit, and at this rhythm, it is even more difficult for the hitter.

And that's not all.

The average pitcher wants to get strikeouts, and he has to use more bad balls to trick the batter.

This naturally leads to the rule that the more strikeouts a pitcher gets, the more he throws the ball.

Instead, it's the kind of pitcher who relies on the defense to get outs, and correspondingly, the number of pitches is not much, and the rhythm is better maintained.

This law doesn't work for Sawamura at all.

He scored three strikeouts, and he didn't rely on bad balls to cheat at all, but all relied on his incomparable strength to crush the opponent.

The hitter couldn't hit the ball, not because they were deceived, but because of their strength, and they didn't even touch Sawamura's heels.

So much for.

Maintain this rhythm, and maintain such a rhythm, and at the same time, there is still room to contain the runners......

Being able to do all three at the same time is nothing more than a trump card in professional baseball.

That's why Coach Okamoto said that Sawamura's basic skills are solid, which is simply outrageous.

Trying to get points from him is probably more difficult than you think.

His own concentration has far exceeded the level of ordinary people.

Looking up at the sky, the light rain in the sky kept falling.

This is a rare help from God!

Such a high concentration is a huge test for the mental strength and physical strength of the players.

In rainy weather, this test can also become a Bengali.

"I don't believe that in such weather, you can still stick to the nine rounds with such concentration?"

"Keep putting pressure on your opponent until you crush them."

Qianxiangang, that is, the fourth baton of Didong High School, got such advice from his own coach before he went on the court.

Gan nodded, then walked to the court.

As the fourth baton of the team, standing here, he is obviously very determined.

But the reality turned out to be a slap in the face.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeouts !!!"

Qianxiangang, who is the core of Didong High School, was directly hit by the first time he stood in the strike zone.
