Less than a week ago, when he first saw something like "HighFastball" in the video of a professional baseball game, Li Yuanrang couldn't understand how this kind of ball lured opponents to the base. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Whether it's from the shot behind the pitcher, or from the angle of the hitter's direction. As a bystander, this kind of bad ball, which is much higher than the upper edge of the good ball area, should be able to see through it at a glance.

At that time, in order to let Li Yuanrang understand the mystery of this way of ball, Yabe Akio once pulled him to the practice field and personally threw a few balls for him to experience.

"But isn't that still easy to tell?"

Li Yuanrang, who was standing in the strike zone and observing, said so.

So Yabe called the captain Ichihei Fukushima, and without warning, he interspersed a few high-post straight balls with higher ball speed in a variety of different balls. But Li Yuanrang in the strike zone still said that he could see it.

"I see what the problem is......"

From then on, Yabe no longer used this method to explain the effects of various matching modes to Lee Wonrang. Because Li Yuanrang couldn't face the ball thrown by the pitcher in the state of an ordinary hitter.

It's not just a matter of dynamic vision or spatial perception, and unlike most batters who have been trained in baseball since childhood, Li rarely relies on the instinctive memory of his muscles when hitting.

He can calmly put the ball in front of him and then swing it, and he can patiently observe the ball path during the whole process, and then rationally drive his body to complete the action of swinging the bat.

This psychological factor, while sometimes leading to missing the best shots, is effective for a variety of disruptive strategies.

This is certainly an advantage for a fighter. But when he is a catcher, he can't use his striking experience as a reference for attacking opponents, which is another big loss.

Despite this, Yabe, who learned about Li Yuanrang's traits, didn't feel that this would stop him from becoming a good catcher.

Yabe's own experience in hitting the ball in the strike zone is not suitable for other players as a reference.

Of course, he, Li Yuanrang, is facing the completely opposite problem, although the basic skills are solid, and the striking feel is integrated into the conditioned reflexes of the body. But Yabe's eyesight is a big obstacle for him to become a good fighter.

On the contrary, by learning the catcher's ball strategy, Yabe Akio can rely on guessing the opponent's ball path to improve his striking performance to a higher level.

In terms of balling, Yabe also has no empathetic experience. It also relies on a large number of game samples that imitate the top catchers. From the actual combat results, we can understand the specific use of various strategies.

Yabe felt that through hard work, Lee Wonrang could also learn the theoretical knowledge that a catcher should possess in this way. Then using the knowledge of the ball, his striking power will naturally be strengthened.

……

In the opening match of the high school baseball player Quan Nishi Tokyo Conference, the match between the Peace School and the three school teams entered the bottom half of the third inning.

Standing in the strike zone, Lee Wonrang intends to snipe the high ball in the outer corner with the next ball. He assumes that he is the opponent's catcher, and in this situation, he lures the opponent with a straight bad ball, and it is necessary to disguise the ball as the opponent's best way.

Judging from the last sting, the opponent had studied the striking data of his limited practice matches in the past.

Then attacking the outside corner is the most likely option.

The purpose of the curveball just thrown below the knee may be to interfere with the opponent's judgment of the vertical space with a curveball with a large vertical variation, and it is also obviously used as a foreshadowing.

The only variable is the sentence that Li Yuan let himself use to test his opponent just now, and I don't know if it will make the joint team's shooting partner temporarily change his mind.

Kenta Otani, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, squinted at the catcher's code, and did not object, but nodded directly and began his own pitching action.

"In addition to the speed factor, the pitcher will shoot a fast straight ball that is deliberately high and earlier than a normal straight ball, so in addition to the ball speed, the pitching rhythm will also appear to be faster than other balls. These are the things to take into account when calculating the timing of the swing......"

Captain Ichihei Fukushima, who has experience in both pitching and batting, once introduced Lee Wonrang's experience in hitting this kind of ball.

Now the words flashed through his mind quickly.

The catcher of the combined team, Yuma Kondo, didn't take what his opponent said to heart. But he still thinks that this way of playing is the best option in the current situation.

And from the point of view of the beater. By observing the moment when pitcher Kenta Ohtani left the baseball, Lee was sure that the ball was the same as he had predicted at the beginning. This is a "HighFastball". Slightly skewed to the outer corners. It's just that because of the strength of the pitcher, this ball is actually not too "fast".

Li Yuanrang started the action of pulling the baton backwards in advance, and then swept it hard, and the bat was in the middle of the preset target.

The ball is pushed into the outfield and landed in front of the right fielder who retreats on alert.

Both runners on base had time to return to home plate to score, but Li Yuan let himself stop at first base because he was not confident in the speed of the base, so he did not continue to move forward rashly.

Now the score is four to one, and the Peace School is ahead.

The team's shooting partner didn't call a timeout.

Next up was the fourth batter of Ichihei Fukushima, and the first ball was hit in the direction of the left field.

Catcher Kondo Yuma then walked up to the pitcher's hill.

Pitcher Otani listened to his teammates as he pinched the magnesium powder bag in his hand. In fact, his mood was not affected too much.

There is a gap in the quality of the two teams, which can be seen in the intelligence gathered before the game. The three schools formed a joint team, which was originally focused on participation. Now that I was able to participate in the opening battle of the shrine, I also scored points, which was already an unexpected result.

The problem now is that after a round of blows, the players at the Peace Academy have fully adapted to the pitching rhythm of the combined team. They may be able to play better and better in the next game.

And the Combine didn't have a better pitcher than Kenta Ohtani to be substituted.

Through a brief meeting on the pitcher's mound, Kondo and Otani discussed a new countermeasure.

In the next game, the center hitter of the Peace Academy, although he can't blatantly throw Jingyuan to escort him, he will definitely not face off again. For other hitters, they use the strategy of pitching the ball to the opponent.

"But can our team's infield lineup really be relied on?"

The other players around their shooting partners had no confidence in themselves, as they belonged to different schools and had only a handful of opportunities to practice together.

"The opportunity to participate in the competition that I finally got must be worthy of my efforts!"

In front of his teammates, it was Tachikawa Agriculture's Harada, a third-year student, but this was his first time participating in the qualifiers for a national competition. And for the last time, of course.

For most of the players on the United team, playing in itself is already a rare event.
