"Remember, I said that you can escort it if necessary. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info just doesn't look so obvious. ”

Before the start of the first half of the second game, Superintendent Yagi specially called Li Yuanrang and Yabe to his side and instructed him to say these two words.

The so-called "don't be so obvious" is actually not to stand up and blatantly respect the opponent, but to throw the ball outside the good ball area where the hitter will definitely not touch.

More than half of the ball in college baseball is played in this way.

But today, the audience has seen a lot more, and everyone understands what the real situation is.

As for Li Yuanrang's own thoughts, he was not very willing to give up the first duel with the opponent.

And it doesn't really make that much sense to escort the hitter when all three base bags are empty.

Li Yuanrang's first ball was indeed a bad ball.

It's an outside corner.

Yabe's ball control is not very precise. So the position of Li Yuanrang's gloves is obvious enough.

However, this does not mean that the course of the game is moving in the direction of the escort.

Li Yuanrang is still using a poor visual matching strategy.

The first ball is wide enough to interfere with the player's judgment of lateral space.

The second goal was again an outside corner.

It's an outside corner high ball. Hayata's fourth bat, Saito, swung his bat.

The baseball soars high toward first base.

It was clearly a throw-in. However, the wide space outside the Hachioji Citizen Field gave first baseman Masaoka the possibility of catching hitters.

trotted all the way, but unfortunately baseball was still one early, landing in front of the defenders.

One good and one bad.

Li Yuanrang's ball is a conservative version of a high-level fishing ball.

The position of the baseball is not only slightly on the top edge of the good ball area. In fact, it is also closer to the outside corner than the edge of the home plate.

Both horizontally and vertically out of the good ball zone.

The reason why the hitter Saito swings the batter is not reluctantly chasing the bad ball.

In the same area, there are two straight balls in a row with slightly different positions. Hitters are prone to misjudgment because of the difference in distance.

Lee Wonrang covered the second ball with the obvious bad ball of the first ball, making the second ball look more like a good ball.

Just by luring the opponent to swing the bat, it is considered a success.

Of course, the initial intention of forcing the opponent to play Vanda was taken out did not materialize.

Li Yuanrang exhaled lightly.

In fact, there is an element of adventure in the match of this ball just now.

Yabe isn't the kind of delicate machine that controls the ball.

If the ball really goes a little bit inside, it becomes a sweet ball for the strong hitter.

And now, at least, there are no such adverse consequences.

The number of balls is one good and one bad. A slight advantage for the defenders.

The third and fourth balls.

Lee first pressed the hitter's space with an inside corner kick, and then lured the opponent to play with an escaping slider.

This strategy is somewhat old-fashioned.

The hitter Saito didn't know if he saw through the catcher's ball or his own ball selection was outstanding.

He didn't shoot at the two bad balls.

The ball count turned into one good and three bad. came to the edge of escorting the opposing beater.

Li Yuanrang glanced at the rest area.

Superintendent Yagi also noticed this, so he casually typed a code.

This simple gesture indicates that you can choose to escort if necessary.

However, this is not a formal directive for escorting hitters.

Li Yuanrang planned to take a gamble on the fifth ball.

This time, after making the code, Li Yuanrang did not always put the gloves in the position of the intended target.

After giving clear guidance to the pitcher, Lee lowered his gloves.

When he was a beater, Li Yuanrang actually had the experience of peeking at the opponent's catcher occasionally. He now fears that the other party's beaters will do the same.

But his worries are unfounded.

Hayata Shoshi, who is now standing in the strike zone, has full confidence in his striking strength. Didn't bother to look at the location of the catcher's gloves at all.

Li Yuanrang wanted a high-level fishing ball with a high inside corner.

The transverse is indeed within the width of the home plate, but the longitudinal is one punch higher than the upper edge of the hit.

Considering that the point of entry is the inside corner, it is a very awkward situation for the average hitter.

But Saito is no ordinary beater.

With a swing of the bat, the baseball is pulled towards the left field and hits the ground close to the sideline.

The burly-looking infielder played to his advantage with his long legs.

Rushed safely to second base just before the return pass arrived.

In the face of this strong hitter, Li Yuanrang matched five bad balls in a row. It turned out to be hits.

The game was suspended and substitute Ibaraki trotted all the way to the pitcher's mound.

"What did the overseer say."

Li Yuanrang guessed that in this case, it is estimated that it will not be a tactical deployment for Yagi to supervise and send Ibaraki to the field.

"The superintendent asked if the final fifth ball was a bad ball."

"Bad balls indeed."

"Okay, I'll tell the overseer."

After saying this, Ibaraki was about to leave.

"What else?"

Li Yuanrang didn't believe in the overseer, so he only gave orders to this Pai Ibaraki.

"No, that's it."

In fact, Superintendent Yagi didn't even really want to ask the first sentence. He is now regulating the emotions of the players on the field.

And the object of his concern is not the catcher Li Yuanrang, but the pitcher Yabe.

Although he is the main player of the team, Akio Yabe is still a newcomer in the first year after all.

On baseball fields, it's not uncommon for pitchers to lose control of the ball under pressure.

Calling a timeout to calm Yabe is probably the best option in this situation.

Lee returned to home plate, and pitcher Yabe picked up a rosin bag and wiped it.

Then turn your head and pass a ball to second base.

This containment ball was not an order from Li Yuanrang. Rather, Yabe himself made a temporary decision.

And the purpose is nothing else, just to let the opponent move his muscles on the base.

As a strong fighter, Saito is not a speed-type player. Although it was not far from base, it was not at all mentally prepared to be pinned.

In a hurry, he could only return to base by flying.

Now his chest is covered with the black dirt of the inner field.

Looking at the opponent's soiled jersey, Yabe smiled contentedly.

The next batter is the opponent's outfielder Araga.

According to the arrangement of the tie that looks a little weird. Ariga's strike data is also not impressive.

Originally, it was the fifth batter who was going to cover the four batters with a long hit. Ariga, on the other hand, is a medium-range cannon with speed.

Data on effects were limited, so no specific sample of matching data was available.

Li Yuanrang made a code to his teammates.

"Strike Alert."

Unlike the forward guard command, this is not a requirement for the first and third base players to move forward to defend. It's more for pitcher Yabe to see.

Now that the opposing runner is scoring laps, there will be a danger if the catcher leaves home plate too much without permission when handling the ball.

The rolling ball far away from home plate requires the pitcher to deal with it or fill in the position in time.

But whether the opponent really chooses to hit when there is someone on second base, Li Yuanrang can't get it accurately.

So the first goal, or a conservative low outside corner.
