Not to mention the difference in pitching style, in terms of ball speed, Tokuda's ball is an average of 15 kilometers faster than the two pitchers of the team who appeared in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And now Tokuda is allocating his physical strength on the premise of finishing the game in three games.

If this game is won, the Peace School will get three or four days off.

So Tokuda can allocate more power to each ball when he throws.

And that's the benefit of the pitcher's division of labor.

In the second half of the seventh inning, now the opposing pitcher Hirohashi stood on second base, and only one hit was needed to pull the score back.

The crowd in the stands who supported the Keming Pavilion was hopeful.

Although it was other players who hit the back, most of the cheers from the sidelines were shouting the name of Hirohashi alone.

But then, the line of Keming Hall University failed to respond to the audience's expectations.

Four, five, and six failed to get a base.

Three hitters got two strikeouts. The only one who hit the baseball was Katsunori Nomura, a catcher who was actively swinging the bat.

The catcher swung at a speedball deliberately matched by Li Yuanrang. Hit the shortstop frontal non-threatening infield rolling earth.

"Guangqiao has worked so hard to get on base, you guys should have a good hit!"

During the exchange of offense and defense, there were spectators on the sidelines complaining to the players from Keming Hall High School on the field.

Li Yuanrang heard these words clearly. Although there are their own objections to this statement. But after all, it was the idea of the other party's supporters, and he couldn't say anything. I can only walk back to my rest area silently.

"How are you feeling now?"

In the rest area, the first person to greet him was the overseer Tomohito Yagi. The object of his concern is Tokuda, a pitcher who has just finished three opposing hitters in a row.

"It's kind of active, and I should be able to raise the ball speed a little more in the next game."

"Did you just use the pitch as a warm-up?"

Yabe was a little surprised.

Although it was only from the perspective from behind, Tokuda's ball speed was already fast enough.

"I told him that autumn is no hotter than summer, and it takes some time for your shoulders to warm up. So when you first play, you have to be reserved. ”

Li Yuanrang said these things are not something he realized by himself. Rather, it came from the previous deployment of the Yagi overseer.

The pitcher division system that Supervisor Yagi wants to implement has another problem in the game at the college level.

Several of the pitchers at the Peace Academy also have other positions on the field. Balls like Tokuda are even the core of the team's defense.

This is also common in other university teams.

So they can't be like the relay rescue pitchers on a professional baseball team who can stay in the barn after the game is in the receiving phase.

In the case of a Pak Hoi Hok where three players who can pitch are also part of the team's starting lineup. Every time a pitcher is replaced, it is impossible for a new pitcher to get a full warm-up.

As a last resort, you can only rely on actual pitching on the court to slowly adjust your shoulders to the rhythm of the game.

Tokuda, who used the game as a warm-up, took his pitching power even further in the eighth inning. It only took five balls to retreat all three.

The bottom half of the next nine innings. It's the last chance for Kemingguan University.

But at the same time, on the other hand, as a team attacking from the back, as long as it attacks with all its might, it does not need to think about the defense of the later games. Changing tactics such as substitute play can eliminate the need to consider defensive position.

Katsumeikan's one-stick Arai is not good at playing speedball, while the two-stick Matsuki didn't play particularly well today.

In the second half of the ninth inning, the supervisor of the Keming Pavilion chose to use substitute play on these two plays.

Replacing Arai is Yamada, a first-year newcomer.

Yamada, who looks emaciated, swings the bat at a speed that can fully keep up with Tokuda's speed of 140 kilometers.

Three consecutive balls out of bounds.

Lee Wonrang disrupted Yamada's striking rhythm with a bad ball from a speed-changing ball.

Then he took out the hitter with a slightly risky inside corner speedball.

Good or bad, inside or outside. This is the only tactical space that Lee Wonrang can use in terms of ball distribution when he is paired with Tokuda.

In place of the second matsuki, it was the main general Ayukawa, who had been sitting on the bench.

Although he is the main general, since he has been sitting on the bench, he naturally has his reasons.

Only the second pitch was hit in the direction of the pitcher's high flyer and was out.

"So you see, a speedball type player, as a rescue pitcher, has an absolute suppressive power in the number of short innings......"

With one game to go, Superintendent Yagi began to explain his winning experience to several substitutes in the rest area.

And on the playing field, a crisp sound of a metal bat hitting the ball came.

Katsumeikan pitcher Hirohashi, who has already pitched a full nine innings, is running at full strength.

Hirohashi is not slow.

Right fielder Tagu has picked up the ball as fast as he can.

By the time the ball was passed back to the second baseman, Hirohashi was already on third base.

Tokuda's first hit in this game was a triple run.

As long as any hit, Keming Pavilion can equalize. Again, this is the case.

"It's okay, it's okay, the opponent's fourth stick Kobayashi is not good at making dots at all."

Supervisor Yagi's words seem to be for the substitutes in the rest area, but he is actually emboldening himself.

Kobayashi excelled in training with the team and was named the team's four batters before the fall season. However, the performance in actual combat is indeed mediocre.

As soon as the words fell, the news of the other party's replacement came from the broadcast of the arena.

Substitute Miura comes on.

"Miura didn't play much this summer, but in the autumn tournament, he had a record of hitting home runs in the group qualifiers......

Now in place of Tagu in charge of the data book, it is Ibaraki, a member of the new team who joined the department after the summer.

"Of course I know that......"

If it weren't for Ibaraki's reminder, of course Superintendent Yagi wouldn't know.

But even if you know, what can you do?

Tokuda, who is now pitching on the court, is already the best card in the pitcher lineup of the Peace School Park.

And it is not possible to give orders to escort the beaters in the field at such a time.

If Miura can't be dealt with, the fifth batter will be followed by Nomura, who is a more difficult hitter to deal with.

And Nomura has already fought Tokuda before, so I'm afraid he has a certain adaptability now.

Of course, Li Yuanrang on the field also knows this.

However, he was not too nervous compared to Inspector Yagi.

Because it's useless to be nervous.

As Superintendent Yagi said before. Pitching with Tokuda, the game is more in Tokuda's hands.

As a catcher, Lee Wonrang can only contribute to the game with his catching skills now. There's not much you can do in terms of balls.

Miura, who is now in the strike zone, has hit a home run before. However, as with most opponents in college games, the batter left behind enough stats to serve as a reference for the match.
