Chapter 219
A charming super slow curved ball, Ikawa is about to be tested!
Is Ikawa strong? Can you hold it?
The answer is......
Ikawa has a girlfriend! Beauty plan or something, our family Ikawa...... No! Rare! Rare! (Ikawa: Except for stunning beauties)
βBall ToοΌβ
Right pitcher Okayama versus left hitter Ikawa, and Okayama is very cautious to throw the ultra-slow curveball into the outside corner.
Ikawa was not tempted, and both Okayama and Superintendent Fujitaka showed slightly disappointed expressions.
Two good balls, two bad balls.
The slow pitch ball was ruled bad, which was not very favorable for Okayama......
From this point of view, today's referee is more strict when he sets the good ball belt in the inner and outer corners: do something and don't do something.
But [Sikashi] the referee is relatively lenient when it comes to determining high and low balls!
Hum! It's quite a bit of "lost mulberry elm, harvested east"!
Hawkers! Even if it is judged bad, as long as it can leave in the player's mind, "This ball is slow, and the next ball will be fast?" This "slow" pitch is considered a success!
After all, Okayama still has a bad ball in his hand!
Pitcher coach Mimori Wanri: "Youdou-kun, you have to pay attention to what the opponent's pitcher will do with this ball!" This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of the ball! β
Former professional baseball player Hiroshi Imai secretly praised: This is very true! How a pitcher converts when the referee's good ball is determined against him requires great skill.
The good ball belt has become smaller laterally, so where is the way out? The answer is vertical! Only by doing so can we expand the "living space" so that we will not be constrained by the false feeling that "the good ball belt is getting smaller and smaller...... Limit!
Okayama stretched his long arms and threw the ball.
Ikawa stared at the incoming ball, and the bat naturally swung back.
Fastball (straight ball)!
I've eaten this ball!
The bat is about to swing more than halfway, but Ikawa notices that the situation has changed!
Not a speedball (straight ball)!
It's Change-up!
Ikawa had no choice but to change his pace and force his way forward, otherwise the bat would not have been able to hit a baseball that was delayed and had a falling displacement.
At the same time, Ikawa changed the shape of the hand that hit the ball, with the head of the bat facing downwards, and shook the bat.
Ikawa's belief is: I must hit!
"Ding!"
Ikawa's first wish came true.
Be sure to get out of bounds!
Ikawa's second wish was gone. As soon as the ball was hit, it bounced and rolled down the pitcher's mound β uphill.
Pitcher Okayama didn't pick up the ball at the first time and pass to first base.
Well! With a height of nearly two meters, Okayama's tall figure is indeed a bit difficult to bend down and pick up a small baseball.
However, the first hitter Ikawa was still touched by the first baseman and was out.
Yuto, who was secretly observing in the rest area on the third base, was silent at this time.
The Minister of the Imperial Guard followed the temptation: "Yuto, what did you see when you threw that ball just now?" β
Yuto: "Well, compared to the previous ball, I feel like the pitcher is in a different position when he throws this ball......"
The manager long-haired girl Hayase Weisha immediately questioned: "How is this possible?" The pitcher's mound is the center of attention! The pitcher's every move can't escape everyone's attention! β
"And there's a pitcher's board on the field! That's a great reference! The pitcher can't just move around when he's on the pitcher's board! β
Hayase girl conjured up a disgusted face: "As a member of the Wild Ball Department, I don't even know this common sense? β
Youdou, who was "disliked" by her sister: What, I'm speechless......
Seven second baseman Yuri Uraga also came on the pitch to hit the ball, returning everyone's attention to the Diamond Field, and by the way, saving Yuto, who was forced into a corner by Hayase.
Giant Okayama Ginji walked down the pitcher's mound, bent down, picked up the talcum powder bag he had thrown here, pinched it, and then turned back to the pitcher's board......
Hayase didn't speak this time, because the attentive girl also discovered a fact - the place where Okayama is standing now is indeed not where he stood just now.
Hayase said to herself, "Perhaps, he still stepped on the same position when he pedaled?" Right! It must be like this! β
After some code exchange between the catcher and the pitcher, Okayama straightened up and prepared to step on the pitcher's board, he was facing forward, his legs were moving backwards, and before stepping on the pitcher's board, he looked down for a moment, he was confirming the position of his pedals?
Hayase girl was speechless this time...... She stole a glance at where Yuto was.
Fortunately, Yuto did not take the opportunity to pursue Hasase.
The voice of the beauty overseer came: "Youdou! β
Then, Yuto saw Belia's serious but somewhat serene expression, as well as a thumbs up......
Dude got it right!
Wowha! Brother is really a genius!
Beauty Supervision: Yuto's observation is not deep enough...... But the basic answer is correct.
This pitcher is a great character who can create his own pitching space!
After being captured by a speedball, Uraga received a code from the beauty overseer, and Uraga raised his bat: Got it! Supervise! As long as there is a low ball that I like, I will let go and attack!
By the time Okayama returned to the pitcher's board from the position where he had dropped the rocky powder packets, Hayase had already completely established the basic fact that Okayama would indeed change his position when pitching - but it was uncertain whether it would be the case every time he pitched.
Hayase girl felt that her understanding of baseball had collapsed a little at this time: what about the good head-to-head matchup, and the high-spirited sunshine sport? Say yes...... Is everything a lie?
A rolling thunderbolt!
Baseball is fraud!
On the second ball, Okayama Ginji lured Uraga into shooting with a low-pitched speedball that the hitter mistook for a speedball.
And then another big curved ball that opens the back door! Uraga, the right-hand hitter, had no way to shoot at all.
Clean, three strikeouts!
The beauty overseer put his hand behind his back: the decisive ball, the same direction hitter uses the horizontal ball, and the reverse hitter uses the vertical ball......
The pitchers are great and the catchers are very mature.
The key is...... How does the opponent know that Uraga likes to play low? Thinking of this, the beauty overseer narrowed her eyes slightly......
Is this a coincidence?
There is also a previous playing seat in the village just now, and the ball is also very targeted!
Is this a coincidence?
Now as soon as the game is out, it is the turn of eight-year-old left fielder Akio Yabe to play.
The content of the code sent by the beauty overseer made the frog army Cao Yabe dumbfounded.
What the hell is this? The supervisor told me to wait for the ball as much as I could...... And to extend the time of each shot as much as possible?
Beauty Supervision: You must try your best to get the opponent to pitch as much as possible, so that you have more opportunities to observe the opponent. If you can decipher the mystery between the opponent's pitching and the pitcher's pedal......
We're going to win this game!
