Tominaga, the pitcher of Fuso Osetagani, is considered to be in the upper middle by the standards of a sophomore in high school. The www.biquge.info ball control criteria are much higher than those of their peers. The change ball is also distinctive.

Li Yuanrang didn't expect that he would have a chance to appear in the second half of the first game.

However, Tokuda, who was third on the bat, hit a strong flat ball from the front of the second baseman and caused an error by his opponent. Coupled with Tokuda's own all-out run. Finally safely on the base.

Two outs, with someone on first base, Li Yuanrang stood in the strike zone.

Then, when he let go of the first outside corner bad ball, the situation changed to second base. Tokuda succeeded in stealing the base, but the opponent's catcher simply gave up the pass.

The chance to score seems to have come and gone.

Pitcher Tominaga didn't plan to go head-to-head with Lee Won Jean from the start.

On the fourth goal after one good and two bad, Li Yuanrang swung his bat in advance and sent a stretching ball that drifted to the inside corner to the stands on the outside side of the left field.

Pitcher Tominaga followed the baseball's trajectory and then took off his cap to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The temperature in mid-October in Tokyo is not too high. The game was only the first game.

Tominaga's beads of sweat were almost scared out of this powerful high-flying ball.

The catcher who was crouching behind home plate made a fifth-pitch code.

And pitcher Tominaga shook his head several times in succession.

"It's impossible to completely ignore the hitter and pitch."

Li Yuanrang in the strike zone thought to himself.

The fifth ball must probably have been an outside corner. Nine times out of ten, the outside corner is low.

The only question left is the type of ball and the specific angle of the base.

There are two main types of pitcher Tominaga change balls. For the right-hand player, it's a stretch ball in the inside corner and a curveball in the outside corner.

As a catcher, Li Yuanrang is actually very envious of the catcher Hara of Fuso Daisetagani.

Changing ball configurations like Tominaga combined with ball control open up a lot of possibilities for catchers to match the ball.

The type of ball mastered by Li Yuanrang's three pitcher partners can only be used on one side of the decisive ball when the ball is alternately matched in the inside and outside corners, and the other side is only used as foreshadowing or foreshadowing.

And Tominaga's current two variations have greatly broadened the catcher's range of balls in the lateral aspect of the good ball area.

Of course, even so, there are still traces of the pattern of ball matching.

Tominaga's fifth goal was not surprising with an outside corner. The ball type is, of course, a curveball.

Both of these points were within the scope of Li Yuanrang's expectations.

However, it was clearly a bad ball that escaped from the edge of the good zone.

If you ignore it completely, of course, it is not a problem.

Tominaga now has a strong pitching evasion atmosphere. Choosing a four-bad escort is probably not a difficult task for Li Yuanrang.

But Li Yuanrang didn't just want a escort.

Now you have to point to someone, but at the same time it's two outs.

Li Yuanrang didn't believe his teammates behind him.

However, he is more confident in his striking prowess.

In the case of an outside corner, the player feels farther away from him. This aspect is a disadvantage. But for Lee, it also means it's easier to keep an eye on the ball.

This is a unique strength for him.

Even if it's a bad ball, as long as it's within the reach of the bat, you can probably hit it.

The summer convention begins and continues until the group pre-selection for the autumn convention. Li Yuanrang has done it many times to hit a bad ball in the outside corner.

The probability of success is greater than failure.

What's more, although Tominaga's ball speed is not slow, the change ball is only about 120 kilometers after all.

This kind of speed Li Yuanrang is not only confident that he can play, but also has the confidence to play long hits.

Li Yuanrang swung his bat at the curveball that escaped to the outer corner.

The baseball was pulled to the left of the center of the outfield.

Tokuda on second base ran back to home plate early.

But baseball didn't hit the wall over the home run as expected.

The middle of the field at Upper Teak Park is 120 meters away. Not inferior to the home of professional baseball teams like Jingu or Koshien.

Lee Won made the ball fly long enough for the baseball to fly off the field.

And the angle failed to fall into the gap between the two outfielders.

What's more, Li Yuanrang is now a four-stick beater. The opponent's outfield defense has long been in a backward formation in order to guard against his long play.

Koike, the stalwart of Fuso Osetaya, took a few steps back and received a baseball.

This is the end of the second half of the game.

For Li Yuanrang, who is a hitter, such a goal result is certainly not satisfactory.

However, for Li Yuanrang, who is a catcher, this ball gave him a very intuitive example of suppressing a long play with an outside corner kick.

In recent years, many baseball critics have put forward a point. For a long time, the Japanese football community has used an outside corner to prevent long hits.

Such a claim is also supported by the big league's strike data.

The conclusion is that the low outside corner is just not easy to play, not that it is not far away.

But college baseball is not a major league. Li Yuanrang's physical fitness cannot be compared with the muscles trained by occupation.

Even with the addition of a metal bat's power bonus. The idea that outside corners and low balls are harder to hit far than inside corners and high balls is still valid for most college-level players.

Especially the venue where the game was played today was more conducive to the defensive players.

"If it's Kamiji, I'll go out, right?"

Back in the rest area, his teammates said to Li Yuanrang half-comfortingly.

Shen 2 Stadium, that is, Jingu 2 Stadium. It is one of the three East Tokyo area courses to be used for the Tokyo Games in the fall. Kamiji Stadium is famous for being small.

The middle of the field is just over 100 meters, and the wings are only about 90 meters.

"If it's Kamiji Stadium, even if the outfielder wants to pick it up, maybe he will fall because of the turf, right?"

These are Yabe's words.

"Is Kamiji's turf bad?"

"It's not as bad as it seems, but it's still bad."

Judging by the appearance alone, no one believes that the outfield of Jingu Court 2 can be used for play.

In order to maintain the operating expenses of the course, the Shinji Course is used as a golf driving range on non-match days. And the artificial turf in the field is even more devastated.

Recently, I made temporary repairs for the relationship of the autumn meeting. But for some reason, the lawn used for replacement was not green, but black.

It looks like a black rubber mat has been placed in the outfield.

"But if you keep winning, you're going to go to the second ball game after all."

Li Yuanrang has seen the matchup table before.

The two semi-finals of the Autumn Tokyo Games were held at Jingu Court 2.

That's because October is the end of the professional baseball season. It was also the time when the Tokyo Six University Alliance was playing.

Jingu Stadium had to make room for these higher-priority games.

In fact, the professional baseball team Yakult, which is based at Meiji Jingu Stadium, had a mediocre record this year and did not make the Central League playoffs.

But the baseball schedule was decided months ago.

Therefore, the competition held at Jingu in the autumn Tokyo will only be the final one.
