There are still two points left in the lead, but there are still three and a half innings to go in the round that needs to be defended. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Lee Wonrang and his teammates. Every hitter you face next should not be taken lightly.

In the seventh inning, Suginon's attack started with Takahiko Aoi in the fourth bat.

Aoi, who had been relieved of the burden of pitching, threw himself into the blow with all his heart, and was obviously more difficult to deal with than the previous matchups.

As if it were a demonstration, the first and second balls, two low balls from the outside corner that were not too good to play, were deliberately swept out of bounds.

There is no point in doing so. Maybe Aoi's idea is to hope that Li Yuanrang can understand that no matter how tricky the angle he throws, as long as he is in the good ball area, he will always have a way to hit it.

When the number of goals is two good balls, it becomes difficult to get a third good ball.

The change ball that escapes to the outside corner cannot fool the opponent into the bat. The low inside corner speedball was easily hit out of bounds by the opponent.

When it comes to the eighth ball, the number of balls is two good and two bad.

For Li Yuanrang, there is only one bad ball on the side ball that can be used as a bargaining chip.

It's not easy to fool your opponent's air vibration. Then one can only hope for a fight.

"High flying balls? Or is it rolling the earth? ”

Li Yuanrang's heart was entangled with this.

If the opponent is allowed to play a ball through a pitching strategy, in fact, different types of pitchers will have different tendencies.

A pitcher who can master a two-seam speedball or other pitch that can make a subtle difference in the moment of hitting base. It's easier for the opponent to hit the rolling ball.

But the ace of the Peace Academy, Fukushima Ichihei, is not of this type.

Fukushima's straight ball is not slow to spin and has the power of the ball. But the base is a straight line. There won't be that small change.

However, by the standards of the college competition, Fukushima is considered to be a tall man. The pitching stance is also basically a high-pressure throw.

Although it is not a straight ball thrown from a "two-story high" position. But combined with the height of the pitcher's mound, Fukushima's straight ball was dropped from about the first floor and a half.

This type of pitcher throws a high straight ball, and if the hitter forces it to hit, it actually has a higher chance of being caught with a high flying ball.

The problem is that now the opponent is standing in the strike zone with four batters, Aoi.

To be able to play four bats, I think it is to have the strength of a long fight.

It's quite risky to throw a straight ball high in the good zone against this kind of opponent.

In order to reduce the likelihood of failure of his risk-taking behavior, Li Yuanrang used his last chips in terms of ball count as a foreshadowing.

The ninth goal after two good and two bad.

An outside corner lob. Stick to the edge of the good ball zone.

The beater, Takahiko Aoi, gently pulled the stick backwards, but in the end he didn't make a move.

Now the situation has become two good and three bad with a full number of goals.

The next ball was still an outside corner high ball. But it's a little bit inside the ball than the previous one.

According to Aoi's judgment, this ball is barely a good ball. At the same time, it happens to be a position where you can swing your bat.

Aoi swung his bat, but hit the bottom two-thirds of the baseball.

The ball, which was expected to hit a straight flying ball, turned into a light and fluttering outfield high flying ball.

But although the flight is floating, the flight distance is not close.

Akio Yabe, who played as an outfielder today, carefully and slowly adjusted his position backwards.

Miyagi, the stalwart next to him, really can't stand it. yelled "I'll pick it up!" ”

Then run straight to the drop point.

He caught the ball at the far end of the border between the outfield and the right field.

Li Yuanrang took off his mask and stood behind home plate.

I was relieved to see that the ball was successfully caught.

"The ball just now is actually a high bad ball."

After hitting the ball, he felt that something was wrong, so Takahiko Aoi, who didn't start running the bases at all, asked Li Yuanrang.

"Maybe it's a bad ball, maybe it's not."

Li Yuanrang didn't actually take into account the factors of good and bad balls when he put out the glove position. He's thinking more about how to get his opponent to swing the bat.

The ball in front is just one ball wide of the outside corner of the good zone. Next, the opponent will be more sensitive to changes in the lateral position of the ball.

The ball below then moves inward by the width of one ball. The opponent will take it for granted that the goal has gone into the good zone.

But at the same time, the point where the ball goes into the base is moved up half the ball, which is less noticeable when the lateral distance changes.

Kazuhei Fukushima's vaunted possession played a decisive role in this moment. The difference between Fukushima's height and the position of the shot point is a major factor in confusing the opponent's longitudinal sense of space.

Of course, the type and form of the opponent should be taken into account when it comes to the ball. But like a college-level competition, teams have limited information to collect from each other. Many times it is impossible to grasp the loopholes of the other party.

In this case, using the understanding of the pitcher on the side to give more play to the strength of the pitcher is often a strategy that catchers at the college stage are more often adopted.

In Li Yuanrang's case, his career as a catcher is actually very lucky. When you get started, you can partner with a pitcher like Fukushima who is excellent at ball control. Many delicate ball-matching strategies are possible.

As far as the results are concerned, the pitch that just faced Aoi fully achieved the desired effect. The number of outs was obtained.

Takahiko Aoi packed up his bat and returned to his rest area. Fukushima on the pitcher's mound called a timeout at this point.

Li Yuanrang ran over.

"This Aoi is probably the most difficult hitter in the opponent's lineup."

Fukushima said.

"Fortunately, this is his last blow in this fight."

"The premise is not to let the opponent go off the base in the later games. Otherwise, he still has a chance to play. ”

"The others shouldn't be so difficult to deal with......

Li Yuan walked back to home plate with confidence. His next opponent is the opponent's five-batter Wada.

In order to save the physical strength of the pitcher, Li Yuanrang still used the strategy of throwing the ball to the opponent.

However, the first two balls, although in the face of straight balls deliberately thrown into the good zone. Wada still waved the empty stick.

The anxiety of rushing to win the score was reflected directly on his face.

So Li Yuanrang changed his strategy to pursue strikeouts.

A slider that escapes to the outside corner. Instead, the opponent's bat touched the ball.

Fortunately, first baseman Masaoka had plenty of time to return to base after receiving the ball. Two outs.

Originally, Li Yuanrang was immersed in the complacent success of the matching strategy.

But in the face of the hitter just now, he failed to achieve his intention with three consecutive goals. Although the final result is still out. But vaguely, Li Yuanrang still felt a little worried.

The sixth batter, the third hitter in this half-inning, pitcher Shinichi Sakamoto.

Li Yuanrang decided to try not to let the hitter touch the ball.

After all, in the game at the college level, the pitchers are mostly the most solid players in a team.

The first three goals are two good and one bad.

The fourth ball, a slippery ball that escapes outward.

This is, of course, a ball of change that will turn into a bad ball.

But for the sake of realism, the ball is not very far away from the outside corner. It belongs to the extent that the beater can barely swing the bat.

In the first few rounds of this game, Li Yuanrang used this way to solve a lot of beaters.

And it's not the first time Sakamoto himself has faced this kind of slide.

This time he took a step forward, not to add more force to shift his center of gravity, but purely to swing the ball before it slipped more to the outside corner.

The baseball goes over the second baseman's head and into the outfield. Landing in front of the stalwarts hand.

Shinichi Sakamoto hit a hit.
