Chapter 56: Someone's First Start
Future Hope University, the starting pitcher Matsui Hirano, stepped on the pitcher board with his right foot, and first observed: Well! The batter is in the left batter zone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Matsui raised his hands and stepped to throw the first shot!
"Huh!"
Catcher Arimura glasses flash! Kneel on your right foot, lean your body wide to the right, twist and erect your waist, and move your gloved left hand to the outside corner (first base side) high up with agility – "Bang!" "Grab the ball into the glove!
“Ball!” The referee decides!
Matsui (╯□╰)|||: West Mata! A village senior instructed me to throw a low ball from the outside corner, and I messed up......
"Huh!" Matsui reacted intuitively, something flew over! Subconsciously reached out and hugged ......
"Poof!" The pitcher has a ball in his glove.
It was the catcher Arimura who passed the ball directly and quickly to the pitcher's hill.
Matsui hadn't taken the ball out of his glove yet...... I saw that the catcher issued a pitching code: There is a village senior's instructions to send it so fast......
"Huh!" The second ball was thrown.
The catcher Youcun quickly knelt on his knees and closed the small dragon gate - "Bang! "The glove caught the ball that was thrown too low in a very important position.
“Ball,Two!”
Barely giving a respite, the ball was immediately passed back onto the pitcher's mound......
The third ball is thrown!
A village glove was raised, "Bang! "Catch the ball a little higher than the height of your own eyes!
“Ball,Three!”
On the next ball, Matsui threw another bad ball - a whackle!
“Ball,Four!”
The batter is sent to first base!
"Well, it looks like our starting pitcher is very shaky in possession!" Minister Mitsumi.
"It's all to be expected." The witch overseer was calm.
"Use newcomers instead of aces, Bei sauce, in this game, you just want to see the lower limit of your team's current ability?" Minister Mitsumi.
"The lower limit? Our starting pitcher is so weak in your eyes, huh? The witch replied.
"After observing the training in the past few days, Matsui-kun has a problem of inconsistent ball speed that needs to be solved urgently...... said Minister Mimi.
"Hmmm! Sometimes Matsui throws a ball that is slow and spins badly, so ...... That's why I asked him to start today......" said the witch.
"Supervision, it's not good for the team and the players, right?" The apprenticeship is full of parents, and the sister Hayase Weisha has a saying.
"Humph! The overseer meant that because I was the minister, she would send this starting pitcher...... "Minister Mimi uses his see-through skills."
"Hmmm╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph! Over to you! 'Nippon No. 1' Female Pitcher! "The witch pushes the boat down the river.
"Ahh However, the current performance of the starting pitcher is completely a matter of mentality. "Minister Mimi.
"It should be some negative effects left over from the rumors that the sports field you spread out before is going to change hands...... "The witch hit the nail on the head.
"Bei sauce, in the art of war, this is called 'mourning soldiers will win'." The Imperial Minister's Daughter is Zhuge in the Imperial Minister.
"To bully the enemy, you must first deceive yourself......" The long-haired girl Hayase was halfway through her words and hurriedly covered her mouth (^口^; ): Press! I seem to know too much......
"No. 2, Okada, back number 16." - A sweet and clear voice is broadcasting.
The batter enters the right hitter zone.
Catcher Arimura: Now there are people on first base...... But it's better to turn a blind eye and treat it as nothing, and hopefully the rookie pitchers will think the same way and continue to let go of their hands to pitch...... Well! Letting go of pitching? Right! I don't do too much guidance, let him vote for himself!
"Matsui! Go ahead and play all the balls you like! Arimura shouted to the pitcher's mound.
Matsui Σ (⊙▽⊙"? : What I like...... Is it up to me to decide?
Arimura squatted in the catcher's position and spread his left hand glove, and hooked his right hand towards the pitcher's mound......
Matsui was a little puzzled: What kind of catcher genre is this? Letting the free flow? Wild and long-lasting?
Arimura began to tease: "Matsui! Let's see if you can throw a ball I can't catch, right? You won't even be connected to this...... It doesn't work either, right? ”
Men must never say they can't! Matsui stepped onto the pitcher's board.
Step, with a shake of his left hand, he threw the ball!
"Huh!"
"Bang!" The catcher's glove caught the ball low down the middle.
Arimura: Well, it's a good and bad ball, and it's a delicate shot...... The outcome is entirely up to the referee.
“Ball!”
West Mata, the worst outcome! Arimura thought to himself, the rookie pitcher has already thrown this ball very well, but it's a pity......
Arimura passes the ball to Matsui and shouts, "Good shot!" That's it! ”
Matsui: Good pitch? Where's the good? They were all judged bad......
There is no such thing as a like-minded casting and fishing combination! - The witch overseer once said so, but there is clear proof of it!
Either way, the game will continue.
Matsui threw the next shot.
"Huh!"
The ball goes straight to the middle?!
"Okada! Don't swing the bat, that ball won't go into the good ball! "Someone suddenly shouted in the away team's rest area on the third base!
Okada: Which bastard is yelling and screaming! Can you still shoot the ball straight to the middle with a good ball belt?
Masaka ...... Okada thought of something, and stopped the batting action.
The Catcher's Glove swings down from the mid lane! "Bang!" The sound is crisp, and the ball goes into the glove.
“Strike!”
Okada (╯°□°)╯: Nani? Strike?! But I didn't swing the bat!
Arimura: Ho! Is this SFF (Split, Fingered, Fastball) high-speed finger fork ball? Matsui's pitch is wonderful! ...... from the middle position The ball fell beautifully!
Away team rest area on third base.
"Did you see that? That ball just now suddenly plummeted before it hit base! ”
"Finger forkball? It's very common! ”
"Can you also make such a beautiful plunge effect?"
However, it was very embarrassing to say this......
"If I practice hard, I will be able to do it!"
"It's as if I've practiced it seriously......"
The "quasi-superintendent" of the Future University Wild Ball Club, Koya Imai, ignored the noise around him, but began to worry: This game looks like there is no possibility of ending early!
Home team rest area on first base.
"Well! Looks like our starting pitchers are starting to feel a little bit better! Minister Mitsumi was slightly pleased.
"Hmmm╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph! The catcher's laissez-faire approach to pitching is not worth advocating...... "Witches aren't so laid-back.
"Sikashi, the actual combat effect is good! That's enough! Minister Mitsumi believes that this is only a short-term investment.
On the pitcher's mound, Matsui stepped on the pitcher's board again: I believe that the ball was thrown just now, and I believe it was a good shot! This feeling...... I'm going to keep that in mind!
Matsui raised his hands in front of him, his left hand clutching the white elf that was obscured by the glove of his right hand.
I'm going to be ACE!
I'm going to Koshien!
And! I'm going to be a professional baseball player!
Funny and Gasan! Our family is going to have a better life!
One more shot!
“Strike,Two!”
One more goal!
“Strike,Three! Batter,Out! ”
Matsui Hirano captures the first strikeout of his high school baseball career!
He stinks and strikes a winning pose on the pitcher's mound!
"Hey, hey! It's just one out, and there are still people on first base...... "Catcher Arimura expressed helplessness" It seems that I have to re-lead this lost foal to find his way home, and sure enough, the pitcher can't let it go, otherwise he will become a wild horse that has escaped! ”
