Chapter 106: Be Normal

After all, there are three bad balls in your hand that can be used as chips. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it is college football or professional baseball, in the face of strong play, there are very few catchers who continue to match a good ball after the two good and bad.

Since he was introduced to baseball in elementary school, he has been the focus of his opponents. Ochiai Fushimitsu naturally understands this.

In order to deal with the third ball after these two good balls, Ochiai silently did special training for the outside corner change ball and the high fishing ball.

Although he is a "genius" in the eyes of everyone. In fact, Ochiai's achievements today are more dependent on silent hard work.

You can see it from the muscles of his body alone.

"I heard that your original ambition was to become a voice actor?"

"That's just gossip."

In a previous fight, there was such a conversation between Li Yuanrang and Ochiai.

Ochiai's answer is not true.

Born into a family of athletes, his father is also a well-known athlete.

Ochiai has had high hopes since childhood.

His father wanted him to be a good athlete.

As for the projects he was working on, because of the rise of football in Japan, he was almost sent by his father to study in Brazil or Germany when he was a child.

In the end, it was Fukumitsu Ochiai's own performance that made him feel like he loved baseball, so he was able to stay in Japan.

"Because only if you stay in Japan can you have a chance to become a voice actor."

This is the reason why Ochiai insisted on staying.

In terms of baseball, it is actually in response to the expectations of parents.

Fukuman Ochiai, of course, also loves baseball, but the reason for his efforts is different.

"In the future, it would be nice to be rated as the Power_A player in baseball games."

That's the goal of Ochiai.

As a senior ACG otaku, in fact, Ochiai and Li Yuanrang may have a lot of common language.

But now, the two of them are rivals in the game.

It can't be paired with a high fishing ball, and it can't be paired with a change ball that escapes from the outside corner.

These two points are not only the results of data analysis. It is also an experience that can really be verified during the first few blows.

But if the third ball doesn't deserve to be in these positions, where should it be?

"It may sound crazy, but if you hit the right heart, you might get strikeouts."

This is the view of Tokita Ko, who was off the field just now.

According to the data he gathered, two pitchers in previous games had pitched straight balls in the middle of the zone after two hits, resulting in one run-and-one run-and-one kick. All got strikeouts.

Both times, though, it was a practice game. In official games, there is also such a pitcher who uses this method to deal with Ochiai.

In the previous blow, because of the drop in ball control caused by the full pitch, Ichihei Fukushima once threw a ball right in the heart.

With that goal, Fukushima scored a strikeout against Ochiai.

Li Yuanrang recalled these points above, shook his head, and still dispelled the idea of taking the risk.

He had a slider. It is a slider that is thrown in from the inside corner.

In Lee's view, Fukushima Ippei's pitching posture close to high-pressure throwing certainly can't create the visual effect of "flying from behind".

However, a slider from the inside corner into the good ball area can still bring pressure to the hitter.

Fukushima on the pitcher's mound frowned at Li Yuanrang's code, but did not deny it. In the end, I nodded in agreement.

With no runners on base, Fukushima raised his left leg high and threw the ball unhurriedly.

Li Yuanrang's ball match failed to receive the expected air vibration.

Fukuman Ochiai swung the bat decisively, and the ball hit very solidly. Fly straight in the direction of third base.

Third baseman Kawasaki subconsciously used gloves to protect his face. But he blocked the baseball crookedly.

“Out!”

The sound of the referee's penalty brought Kawasaki back to his senses. He opened his eyes, which had been closed with nervousness.

Only then did he realize that the baseball was nested safely in his glove.

Even if they were not optimistic about their own baseball club at all, in the stands on the first base, hundreds of students from the Peace School who were forced by the principal to watch the game were still encouraged by this garrison and applauded collectively.

Kawasaki waved to the audience opposite. Drowned in the sound of support, there was also the click of the camera shutter.

This pleasant atmosphere did not last long.

Although facing the opponent's high-profile super newcomer, he got out of the game. But the situation on the field has not changed much.

Ichihei Fukushima's pitch was hit by a first-base hit by Yukio Kaneko, who had the next bat. Fortunately, Yokoi and Mori hit two thrilling high flying balls in succession.

The School of Peace finally kept the score gap within one point.

After the offense and defense are exchanged.

Li Yuanrang, who was the third baseman, was the first hitter in the second half of the eighth inning.

This means two things.

First of all, the order of strikes in this game ensures that all the central hitters in the Peace School line can play.

But on the other hand, if you can't score points in this half game. Relying on the seven, eight, and nine sticks below, in the second half of the ninth inning, there is absolutely little hope of turning the tables.

Harusha Shimazaki, the ace pitcher of the German businessman, was expressionless and carried out a test pitch after the offensive and defensive exchange.

Li Yuanrang unloaded his catcher equipment, put on a striking helmet, and waited on the sidelines with a bat.

The venue radio sounded, and it was Li Yuanrang's turn to appear.

If he can't get back to the score, maybe this will be the last time he's in the strike zone this summer.

Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at the two seniors of Fukushima and Miyagi behind him.

I still have two years to go before I go into the future. The two of them are probably under more pressure.

"Don't think about anything, just put your mind to work."

Akio Yabe didn't know when he appeared next to him.

His words reminded Li Yuanrang.

Those days when I first got into baseball. I don't think about anything when I hit it myself.

Rely on a normal heart, rely on the way of play. Unexpectedly, he has scored a lot of beautiful hits.

Before this game, the Peace School Baseball Club did a special training for the opponent.

One of the problems that I wanted to solve in the special training was how to avoid hitting the ball from the hands of Haruxia Shimazaki.

In retrospect, perhaps this special training was too deliberate.

Li Yuan remembers what the captain of Fukushima said about him when he first came into contact with baseball.

Because any ball can rub against the bat, and hitting the ball out makes the game full of possibilities.

For a long time, in the field of college baseball, being able to hit the ball has always been the goal pursued by the players.

Because as long as you can form a rolling earth, anything can happen.

And the opponent's pitcher happens to be the type to win by rolling the earth.

Lee glanced at the defender behind the pitcher before stepping into the strike zone.

Second baseman Hamana, shortstop Kaneko.

There is also the first baseman next to it.

No matter how you say it, it's the age of a high school student. In terms of garrison, there is still a big gap from "perfect fire".

Before the pitcher threw the ball, Li Yuan rang the air and swung the bat a few times. For nothing else, he wanted to see how fast he could swing his bat.

He then walked into the strike zone and nodded in Shimazaki's direction. Signal that the opponent is ready to start the pitching of the round.
