Suspense regenerates

The third base referee's raised hands are in a "V" shape.

“Foul!” Throw-in!

The ball landed just outside the boundary. When the ball was hit, it rushed to home plate, and the runner on third base, who had now stepped on home plate, was very unhappy and was returning to the third base pack. And first-base runners who set foot on second base for the same reason can only return to first base.

The score is still 3:5, two outs, one or three bases, and the number of balls is one bad ball and two good balls. Yuki Takami, a pitcher who was not hit by a substitute hitter, had the advantage in the number of balls and was only one last good shot away from Koshien!

Yuki Takami didn't expect that the inside corner speedball he threw with all his might would be beaten so well, which can only prove that this substitute hitter is indeed not simple.

In fact, in Yuki Takami's arsenal, there are also curveballs and sliders to choose from...... However, at this time in the game, any small tricks may not be effective, but may be a ridiculous and generous behavior. Because scouts from various professional baseball clubs are bound to come to watch the game, and they will give the final pre-draft evaluation of the third-year stars in Koshien - is there a better way to identify them than in a pivotal game?

At this time, if the pitcher does not dare to throw his best ball to decide the winner, then the scouts' report will definitely leave such an evaluation: the player is embarrassed, does not dare to take responsibility in the decisive scene, and will choose a roundabout tactic ("escape" literary expression).

Therefore, the goal has surpassed Koshien's Takami Yuki shook his head again and again at the catcher's code, and firmly vetoed the strategy of throwing a curved ball or a speedball - this is the self-confidence and conceit of being the No. 1 player in this year's professional baseball draft.

Consistently, the speedball wins!

Outside Corner Speedball! Straight to the top.

The first and second balls are both outside corner low balls, the third ball is inside corner high balls, and the fourth ball is outside corner high balls.

The space of the good ball belt has been fully used by Yuki Takami, which is the classic - diagonal pitching. To use this technique, you need to have good ball control, and Yuki Takami has shown this ability very well.

In this way, when you first see the low ball in the outside corner, then you see the player with the high ball in the inside corner, and then you see the outside corner, it is easy to have the illusion that the outside corner seems to be farther away from the hitter. If it is a hitter in an open position, the impact will be greater.

This hitter doesn't seem to be affected in any way, is it because he is in a parallel position?

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the hitter hit the baseball solidly! Even better than the previous one!

Baseball is swept out! This height ...... This speed...... Oh no! The ball will fly out! Fly off the home run and hit the wall!

Really! The baseball flew out of the home run wall in the right field and into the spectators! Except for the small part of the audience in the right field, Koshien suddenly erupted into a commotion......

The baseball flew out of the home run wall on the outside of the marker pole! Throw-in!

Koshien, which was packed, almost boiled over for this one throw-in.

It's just over ten centimeters, and it's a reversal bullet!

On the pitcher's mound, Yuki Takami took off his baseball cap and fanned the wind, with large beads of sweat running down his forehead.

It's okay, it's okay! It's still one bad ball and two good balls, and the worst thing doesn't happen.

Yuki Takami wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, put on his baseball cap, and walked behind the pitcher board to pick up the magnesium powder pack......

The substitute hitter exited the batting area at this point, belch? He walked past the referee...... And then he went into the left hitter hitting zone?!

Could it be ...... He's a left-right striker? But even if the bow is opened left and right, the hitter temporarily changes the hitting area, isn't it too child's play...... Too adventurous? Now it's ...... One bad ball, two good balls, two outs, one or three bases, someone, one ball determines the outcome of the life and death scene! Too bold!

The sudden change of hitting area by the substitute hit really made the game changeable. There was also some commotion at the Koshien seats.

For Yuki Takami, a right-handed pitcher, it is advantageous to deal with a right-hand hitter, because the right-hand pitcher swings his arm and throws in the direction of the right-hitter's outside corner, and for the right-hand pitcher, the Sene corner kick will be easier. And once it becomes a left-hand hitter, it is equivalent to reversing the inner and outer corners. The right pitcher swings his arm and throws the ball in the right direction of the left hitter's inside corner, and the Sene corner requires better control and more guts – the guts to smash the ball. From a change of ball perspective, the right pitcher's lateral ball flies to the left hitter's inside corner – which is not a good thing for luring the batter to swing.

Therefore, the left striker against the right pitcher can invisibly weaken the right pitcher's pitching power.

Yuki Takami must face this difficulty now. Fortunately, now the number of goals is ahead, and the situation is quite favorable.

The magnesium powder was gently tossed to the ground, and Yuki Takami stepped onto the pitcher's board.

Stepping Arm Pitching ......

Looking at the menacing baseball, the substitute hitter hung down the bat, stood still, and let go of the baseball - the ball flashed in front of the substitute hitter, outside the right hitter's hitting area. Immediately afterward, the substitute hit quickly stepped back out of the left-hand hitter zone and beckoned the runner on third base to charge at full speed......

A big bang! Yuki Takami threw a big bang at this time! ild Pitch!

In the face of the ridiculously biased ball, the catcher was also caught off guard, and despite the catcher's best efforts to fully spread his body and fly to catch it, he still couldn't touch the ball. The catcher, who fell to the ground, didn't bother to get up, quickly removed the mask, and then got up to find the ball.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuki Takami hurriedly ran forward and ran to home plate to fill in for the catcher...... Yuki Takami was just one step away from home plate, and the runner on third base was already on home plate. The runner and the substitute hugged each other at home plate, and the two hooked shoulders and shook their fists in celebration of the point they had picked up.

The catcher took a lot of time to find the baseball, and quickly turned around and looked up, Yuki Takami was standing near the home plate with his waist crossed, and the first base runner who ran to the second base bag restrained his thoughts and continued to rush to third base, standing on the second base bag and raising his hand in celebration.

A point picked up!

The score changed and now the score is 4:5. It became a one-point game. And the tie has already gone to second base to score points. If it's a home run, it's a reversal point.

The suspense of the game is back! Sure enough, a baseball game isn't over until the last out!

Time out! Tokai Okan called a pause! The main members of the defensive team on the court gathered in the pitcher mound and they needed to face this crisis together with Yuki Takami. In the rest area on the side of the first base, the overseer of Tokai couldn't sit still, and the overseer sent a herald. The herald hurried up to the players and explained some of the things the overseer had ordered.

The substitute hitter, who retreated to the sidelines, also looked at the rest area on the third base. However, it seems that the overseer on his side did not instruct. It was the second-base runner and the third-base runner, who were talking together.

Tokai Okan Sho and others on the field were scattered, and the players on both sides of the field were in their positions.

The referee gave the order, and the game continued.

Two bad balls, two good balls and two outs, the score is 4:5, there are people on second base, and the defender has a lead of one point and one good ball.

Yuki Takami shook his shoulders, which was to relax his body, and he hid the baseball in his gloves and stepped onto the pitcher's board......
