In the future, I hope that the high school catcher Saji Arimura will pass the ball back to the pitcher of this team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Youcun squatted down in the position and quickly issued a code.

"Throw it all in!"

Junichiro Izumita, the pitcher, straightened up and looked back at the runners on base.

Foot pitcher, stride, arm raise, pitch!

"Huh!"

The hitter Hasegawa suddenly holds the bat short! I want a short hit!

"Bang!" Ball into the catcher's glove.

“Strike！” The referee decided.

The attempt to strike a short blow failed!

Catcher Arimura quickly took out the captured ball from his glove and held it in his hand to prepare to pass and kill!

First base runner Liu Jiaren, second base runner Cai Qian Ichiro hurried back to base!

Thankfully, the two runners weren't too far from base! The catcher was also just intimidating and didn't actually pass the ball out.

Right Hitter Hitting Area.

The hitter Hasegawa looked at the bat that was held in his hand in a daze (. _。 ): I didn't expect it...... was ready to give the opponent a surprise short shot, but he didn't have time to change his striking stance to a striking stance, but he was caught by surprise by the sharp ball speed...... I've seen the speed of the ball, but my body hasn't adjusted to it yet.

Arimura passes the ball back to his team's pitcher.

Squatting in the position of the catcher, Arimura thought about the last ball: Well, did the Kokushikan hitters start to swing short sticks...... Although this is to be expected, Sikashi, considering that our infield guard will encounter the uncertainty of bocce + bouncing ball...... Situations that would result in the loss of points must also be counted. Choose to actually take one outs and let the opponent push a base, or choose to lure the hitter into a double kill...... Well...... This choice is decisive for the direction of the game.

Arimura looked around at the team's infield defensive players, and then observed the opposing runners on the base: When we attacked in the third inning, when there were people on the third base out of the game, the Kokushikan adopted a forward defense to press the offensive space of our team's play, hum! It's time to give back to others the way they do...... Let the Kokushikan also taste the taste of the garrison oppression!

Arimura raised his hand and shouted at first baseman Kohinata, "One out!" ”

Little Hinata raised his hand and responded: "Oh oh! ”

Arimura then raised his hand to third baseman Ikawa: "One out!" ”

Ikawa also responded clearly: "Oh! ”

Live commentary:

Oshima: "Oooh!! At present, I hope that the first baseman and third baseman of the high school will suddenly move forward in the future! Looks...... This is a situation of taking the first and third bases to defend forward! Finally, in the future, hope colleges and universities will also start-for-tat, and return the opponent's previous countermeasures? Commentator Horiguchi-san, what do you think about these changes on the field? ”

Horiguchi: "It seems that in the future, Hope University will also be forward, but it is still a little different from the previous layout of the Kokushikan...... In the future, I hope that the university will only move forward the guard position of the first and third bases, but the second baseman and shortstop will maintain the posture of the middle guard, and the outfield will be the configuration of the regular guard unchanged......"

"Unlike the previous arrangement of forced oppression in the inner and outer fields of the Kokushikan, the future hope university is very pragmatic and does not pursue too much momentum oppression, but pursues actual value ......."

Oshima: "So two different garrison configurations...... Which is better or worse? Horiguchi-san? ”

Horiguchi: "This is all based on the characteristics of their respective teams, as well as their own judgment of the situation on the field, the arrangements made, the starting point and the goal they want to achieve have their own pertinence, which is better or worse...... It can only be proven by the competition. ”

Back to the Diamond Course.

The beater, Hasegawa, also noticed a change in the opponent's garrison: move forward to guard...... As a result, my attack range immediately became narrower...... It's like ...... There are two giants standing on the left and right, blocking my path! How can you take a break (╰_╯)!

Seeing this situation, the runner on second base was also very anxious: only the first and third bases were now deployed forward, which not only pressed the space for hitters to hit in these two directions, but also pressed the space for short hits, and in order to hit short hits, they had to be controlled more delicately......

At this time, the second baseman and the shortstop are in the middle, which retains more of the possibility of double kills and increases the pressure on hitters to hit hits, because, at this time, hitting the low ball in the infield will fall into the trap of the guard, which is likely to cause a double kill situation, which can be said to be a variety of double kills in ambush!

Not only that, but maintaining the middle guard can also give the runner on second base, that is, me, a strong deterrent, and the sword of Damocles of "double kill" hangs over his head all the time, so that the runner does not dare to act rashly. For example, if a hitter hits a low ball from second base, and the ball is not well positioned and fast enough to penetrate the defensive line, the runner will never be able to get off base...... In this way, the runner on second base can be nailed to the base all the time.

If the runner on second base can't leave base, then the runner on first base can't leave base either, and in this way, we, the runners on base, are like a long snake that has been held down by seven inches, completely under the control of the opposing defensive line.

The possibility of breaking through all these defensive formations is set...... Only long hits!

This situation feels ...... So familiar...... This is, this is the opponent who has returned all our previous countermeasures...... No! It's doubled!

How can you take a break (╰_╯)!

Back to the Diamond Course.

In the right-hand hitter zone, hitter Hasegawa started with a short strike.

The catcher Arimura gave the pitcher a code.

"Let him fight!"

Pitcher Izumita, nodded, straightened up, and looked back at the runner on second base.

Pitch!

"Huh!"

Hasegawa, the hitter, quickly and solidly caught the ball this time.

"Ding!" The bat hits the baseball.

The moment the bat touches the ball or the ball hits the bat, the bat is bounced off by the fierce ball power!

But there is no turning back when the bow is opened! Hasegawa, the hitter, could only abandon the bat and run the base, and he didn't care to observe how well he hit the ball.

But...... The runner on first base didn't start running to second base.

Pitcher Izumida took a few steps forward toward home plate and also stopped.

When the ball was "bounced" out of the bat, the catcher Arimura also made a move to prepare to catch the ball, but he stopped the action in time, and also signaled that the pitcher did not need to come, "The third baseman can handle it!" ”

I saw the white ball with a high parabola (obviously the quality of the short hit was not high), flying in the direction that the third baseman Ikawa had moved.

However, the ball reached the front of third baseman Ikawa, who did not put the ball into his glove......

The third baseman just watched the ball......

"Poof!" The ball fell to the ground outside the sideline......

"Hit the ball out of bounds! Batter，Out！ "The referee decides!

In the case of two good balls, the hit ball fails, and the hitter is out! The runner was pinned to the base.

Although there are still people in the first and second bases, they are two out!

"9 bats, right fielder Nagao." - A sweet and clear voice is broadcasting.

In the next game, the future hope university did not adjust the defensive lineup, so it ......

In the pitcher Izumida, he quickly scored two good shots, and when he was leading in the number of balls, the pressure of the 9 bats could only barely shoot...... As a result, Captain Tomozawa, a shortstop, was "loafing", and second baseman Uraga felt relaxed and happy to roll the ball head-on.

"Dang!" Outside the home plate, Nagao, the 9-batter who was passed out, threw his helmet to the ground!

Three outs, offense and defense exchange!
