Chapter 78: Fluctuations
Throughout the third inning, players from both teams failed to score points. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the first half of the fourth inning, Li Yuanrang was the first hitter to get to base with four bad guarantees.
Even in this game where the good ball zone is expanded, the ball picker can still help him improve his baseball rate.
A strong flat fly ball from the direction of first base in the direction of Ichihei Fukushima caused the first baseman to miss. There are no outs on first and third base.
In the face of the super-college-level left-handed Hideyuki Kanemori who was watched by professional baseball scouts, two consecutive lucky players in the center of the Peace School Park were lucky to hit the base. Now is the perfect opportunity to expand your lead.
But that was the end of the luck on the offensive side.
Akio Yabe, who was bent on a long shot, got a strikeout.
Tokuda's double-kill ended the half-game offense.
As if to punish the School of Peace for squandering the opportunity to score.
In the second half of the next four innings, the second missed shot of the game by Ichisei Fukushima was hit by Shibata, the second batter of Akikawa High School. I got to second base in one go.
Lee Wonrang ran up the pitcher's mound to learn about Fukushima's injury.
"Didn't you say you'd tell me first when it hurts?"
"The moment I made the shot, it suddenly hurt, how could I have expected this."
"Wasn't that completely unexpected!"
Fukushima's bruise on the calf of the left leg. This leg will play a supporting role when pitching, and it would be a lie to say that it won't hurt.
Fukushima can endure the general pain, and sometimes the sudden pain may affect the ball control when exerting force.
The next hitter, the captain of the three-stick team, Tanabe.
"I heard that the latest single book of "Big Rice Bucket" you borrowed from your roommate hasn't been returned yet."
Under the crisis of having someone in the circle, and when the trump card state of his side was not the best, Li Yuanrang had to collect some content from the database in an attempt to interfere with the opponent.
"Why should you return the books you borrowed by yourself?"
Tanabe's answer was reasonable.
And the next blow didn't seem to be disturbed at all.
The clean swing of the baton missed three times and the strikeouts were out.
Now the batter talked about the four-bat pitcher Hideyuki Kanamori.
"If a pitcher has a bruise on his calf, what happens when he pitches?"
Li Yuanrang asked Jin Sen.
"It may hurt when you exert force. How? Your pitcher was injured on his own play? ”
"yes, it seems like I miss out once in a while."
After Li Yuanrang finished speaking, he immediately played a straight ball in the inside corner.
Instinctively, Jinsen shrank back and let the ball go. But the referee decided it was a good shot.
"I didn't say he'd miss shots a lot."
Li Yuanrang didn't know if the good ball just now was earned by interfering with the opponent.
But he still played the inside corner for the next ball.
It is half a ball closer to the player than the position of the first ball.
Jinson tried to swing the bat, but the ball was too close to him. The swing misses.
Two good balls.
In baseball, human memory is not accurate. Two consecutive balls in the same area may not be able to distinguish the subtle differences.
When two balls at the same angle are placed in a row, make some minor adjustments to the point where the ball goes into base for different purposes. It can play a role in confusing the judgment of the beater.
This kind of trick was not taught to Li Yuanrang by Yabe, but the knowledge that Li Yuan obtained by letting himself find professional catcher interview materials on the Internet.
This kind of ball-matching tactic is actually rarely used in amateur games such as colleges.
First of all, college pitchers' possession is mostly incapable of this delicate matching.
What's more, because there is a lack of sufficient data samples at the college level, and very few shooting partners dare to throw several balls into the same corner in a row.
The showdown with Kim Sen continues.
The third ball, the outside corner curl.
The purpose of this ball is really just to serve as a foreshadowing for the ball. Eventually, the curveball will fall below the knee and become a bad ball.
But there was a piece of information in Li Yuanrang's intelligence library that was not recorded.
In fact, Hideyuki Kanamori is a hitter who is good at playing slow-changing balls.
The outside corner slider from the last hit didn't actually fool Kingson. There was a lot of chance in not being able to hit a hit.
The curveball was halfway through the flight and was hit by Jinson.
Sharp in both speed and angle, the fly ball was pounced into the glove by first baseman Masaoka. But then it took a lot of time for Masaoka to get up from the ground.
According to the rules, the runner on base can start after the fly ball is caught.
Shibata on second base took the opportunity to advance to third base at the prompting of the running instructor.
Now the situation has become a little delicate.
Two outs, someone on third base.
Hit again one of the center hitters of the five-stick catcher Ando.
As long as the opponent hits a hitter, the score will be equalized.
Of course, Li Yuanrang didn't want to see such a situation happen.
The ball has been dominated by the direction of the outer corner. Plus a mix of highs and lows. After four goals, the situation became one good and three bad.
The reason why Li Yuanrang did not deserve an inside corner kick was not because he was worried about generating a dead ball. Rather, they are afraid of being hit by their opponents.
Catcher Ando's last blow was a swing at an inside corner that hit a powerful ball in front of the second baseman. In the end, it was a mistake by the second baseman to get a base.
Not only did he score a goal from the base, but Ando also had a record of turning an inside corner into a throw-in.
No matter how you look at it, this guy is the type who is good at inside corners.
It's just that once the inside corner is abandoned, the maneuver space for the ball concentrated in the outside corner will be reduced a lot.
In the four goals just now, Li Yuanrang has already scored two goals in a row with low outside corners.
In the next ball, he was unwilling to escort the opponent.
So, the fifth ball is a straight ball with a high outside corner. The location is, of course, within the good ball zone.
Li Yuanrang chose the latter between three low balls in a row or a high ball.
And Ando, who is also the catcher in the team, has long guessed this.
Although it is an outside corner, for long-hitting players, the high ball is easier to hit than the low ball.
Takuya Ando swung with ease, and the power of the metal bat sent the ball to the right side of the field. The ballistic trajectory is straight. Almost grazing the top edge of the guardrail and flying out of the wall.
Ando shook off his bat, stepped on the base bag one by one, and finally high-fived his teammates in celebration.
A home run with a two-point point.
The score was 1 to 2. Akikawa High School overtook success.
"This goal was completely my mistake with the ball......"
Lee called a timeout again and walked up to the pitcher's hill to discuss the next game with Fukushima Ippei.
"There's no such thing as a ball that can't be hit at all. The following game will bring the score back. ”
"Can you call back?"
In the previous two strikes, Li Yuanrang was not able to hit a hit. A base run depends on your own ball selection.
"You find a way to get out of the base, and I'll send you back."
Fukushima's batting sequence is behind Lee Wonrang, and it is the duty of the four batters to send their teammates on base back to home plate to score.
"Then I want to use the home plate."
"That's a lot to ask for."
Li Yuanrang walked down the pitcher's mound with a smile. The infielders who were gathered around also returned to their positions.
Li Yuanrang has figured it out now. The opponents of this ball are not the same as those teams in front of them. It's unrealistic to expect to not be scored at all.
However, in any case, since you are participating in the pre-selection for the summer conference, everything must be aimed at victory.
In the next game, of course, you have to do your best to stop the opponent's points. And when it's your turn to attack, you have to get back the points early.
Akikawa High School's sixth batter, stalwart Inoue, appeared in a situation where there was no one on the two bases.
Li Yuanrang guided Fukushima Ichihei to play a few balls with him. Finally, he relied on a low ball in the middle to induce the opponent to swing the bat.
Guerrilla direction infield flyball.
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
