Chapter 194: Scooping Points
It's not so much "pulling" as "fishing". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lee Wonrang's shot had a clear arc, crossed first base, and landed in front of the right fielder.
Tokuda, who had already started the race, bypassed third base and headed straight for home plate.
Hayata's right fielder is named Duo and has good shoulder strength.
When he picked up the baseball, he didn't choose a relay, but passed the ball directly to home plate.
In order to reduce the time it takes for the baseball to fly, the ball is passed flat and low. But it never landed.
“Laserbeam?”
The word popped into the head of Superintendent Yagi.
It's a name given to baseball critics for a straight and long pass to an outfielder. Describe a baseball as flying as straight and fast as a laser.
But Hayata's right fielder didn't develop a real shoulder that could emit laser rays. The baseball hit the ground in front of home plate and bounced off before falling into the catcher's glove.
“Safe!”
The bomb just now not only delayed a little time, but more importantly, affected the catcher's posture of receiving the ball. Before the catcher could backhand the runner, the referee had already made a decision.
Tokuda returned home safely to home plate.
And Li Yuanrang, who may have been able to only go to first base, went up to second base because of this choice of outfielders.
There were still runners on the lap, but the score was not rewritten.
The next Tiangu and Donald were both struck out.
At the end of the second half of the fourth inning, the score was 1-1.
The two sides are back on the same starting line.
"Well, my tactics are still effective, right?"
As soon as Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area, Supervisor Yagi patted him on the shoulder and said.
"But I didn't see the overseer call you."
When Lee joined the baseball club, the team didn't have a superintendent who could actually give tactical instructions.
Therefore, Li Yuanrang has never developed the habit of observing the code in the rest area during the game.
Because of this, since Supervisor Yagi took office, Li Yuanrang asked himself to pay more attention to this.
Now at almost every time he hits the interval, Li Yuanrang will deliberately turn his head to look in the direction of the superintendent to confirm the code.
The "hit-and-run" tactic just now seems to be a pure coincidence, at least from Li Yuanrang's point of view.
"It's not a code, it's something I explained before I went on the field."
Superintendent Yagi didn't give any instructions on Tokuda's blow, but he had taken the time to talk to Tokuda before. If the pitcher starts shaking his head frequently on the pitcher's mound, try stealing the bases.
Although the atmosphere of each school is different. And there is no such phenomenon in the Peace School where I am located.。
However, Japan is, after all, a society that emphasizes the "sequence of years of merit".
This is especially true in the baseball clubs of prestigious private schools.
In other teams, this will be seen as seniors calling juniors, and the main players calling on substitutes.
But today's opponent Hayata Sho is different.
Because baseball elites are recruited from all over the world every year, it is quite common for Hayata's team to have junior students occupy the main part of the lineup.
Today's starting pitcher room is in first grade. The catcher who partnered with him was a second-year.
In general, it is not common for juniors to shake their heads at their seniors in this case.
But when that happens, it shows how shaken the pitcher is with the current scene.
In this case, the tactic of stealing bases can not only seize the gap in the opponent's lack of concentration. It can also interfere with the pitcher's thinking in choosing a countermeasure.
"But in that case, your order is just a base."
Because of Li Yuanrang's swing of the bat, and he also hit the baseball with the swing of the bat.
This time, the offense became a play-and-run tactic, which naturally had nothing to do with stealing bases from a technical and statistical point of view.
"Anyway, you can hit the ball."
Overseer Yagi threw out such a sentence for unknown reasons.
……
The equaliser didn't dampen the morale of the opponents, and in some ways it might have boosted their morale.
And this fighting spirit is backed by strength, which is particularly troublesome.
Eighth, most teams will put the players who are weak in the strike.
However, this Soona business line that is arranged irregularly is not like this.
Shigemitsu the second baseman at the eighth baseman is not only the center of the team's defense, but also the figure who connects the past and the future on the line.
The first round of strikes did not achieve much results, but when he stood in the strike zone for the second time, he only watched for one ball, and directly shot at a curved ball that Li Yuanrang used as a foreshadowing.
With a left-hand advantage and his own pace, Uchino hit first base.
Immediately afterwards, the ninth batter who guarded the right field, just passed a wonderful return pass but did not prevent the score, mostly appeared.
Crossing the bat without hesitation.
Lee Wonrang has already matched the ball according to the strategy of dealing with short hits. The quality of the balls Yabe throws is also good.
But I don't know how many times I practiced the skillful striking technique still created a textbook sacrificial strike.
Peace School has just equalized the score of this half-game not long ago. Once again, Hayata sent the runner into the lap. And standing on second base is still a fast-legged runner.
The reason why second base is called a dot circle is related to the shape of the baseball field.
Second base is the closest of the four base packs on the field to the outfield defense zone, and the farthest is naturally home plate.
Depending on the distance, the distance and time required for the defender to pass the ball are also different.
So as a batter, if you hit the ball to the outfield to form a hit, it is much more difficult to run from home plate to second base than it is for a runner to return to home plate safely.
Or, to put it another way, a batter hitting a first base hit that falls on the outfield is mostly enough to send a runner back to second base to score.
And the hitter who appears now is the first batter Enomoto.
For the defender's Peace Academy, it was not easy to meet him in this situation.
Not only college teams, but most baseball teams consider the base rate first, followed by mobility. Both are indispensable.
Because of this, the two elements of a batter type often go hand in hand.
Use your own speed to fight for infield hits, and use accumulated infield hits to push up the base.
If the opponent's Enomoto is a batter in this typical sense, Li Yuanrang will have a lot less pressure.
Infield-type hitters will have a significant drop in their base-playing percentage and batting percentage when there are people on base.
It's a pity that Enomoto is not such a player.
He has a top-notch strike rate, and his running speed is not necessarily faster than Li Yuanrang.
This means that Enomoto's hits are almost always real hits. Most of them hit the outfield zone.
can only face him head-on, in this case, Li Yuanrang does not even have the option of escorting the beater.
Not to mention that Superintendent Yagi did not give relevant instructions.
From the perspective of common sense alone, the second batter of the next bat, Ishiwa, has mediocre striking strength, but excellent tactical execution.
Putting two runners on the base and then going to meet Ishiwa is obviously not a wise strategy.
