Chapter 214: Training

The score of this practice match is not very important. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although there are not many players who can be mobilized, the second half of the game has entered the Peace School Park, and the side has begun to enter the training mode.

Lee was substituted for a break after hitting a hit in the bottom half of the sixth inning.

In the first half of the seventh inning, the Heping School was squatting behind home plate and was a rookie who only joined the baseball club this fall.

On the pitcher's hill is the speedball pitcher Tokuda Qiuer.

Although the trial pitch when the pitcher was replaced, Ibaraki was quite stable.

However, in the face of the first ball in the actual battle thrown by the opponent's hitter Tokuda, Ibaraki failed to catch it.

The baseball hit the edge of the glove and fell to the ground.

It's similar to the trend shown by this first goal.

Although Northeast Yuying did not be able to hit any hits in this half game. But there was still a hitter who went to first base. It relies on the immortal strikeout formed by the missing connection of Ibaraki after the three-good ball.

When the offense and defense were exchanged, Ibaraki returned to the rest area. took off his catcher gloves and showed his palms to Li Yuanrang.

"This Tokuda-senpai's pitching is really unusual."

"It's not all about the power of the pitch."

Li Yuanrang replied.

Ibaraki and Tokuda are the same year, and the name of this senior comes from the order in which they joined the baseball club.

His palms were red now. The power of Tokuda's pitching is certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, because Tokuda does not control the ball accurately, and not every ball can be thrown into the preset target of the catcher's glove.

Ibaraki doesn't have the same dynamic vision and reflexes as Lee Wonrang. When catching the ball, you can't always catch the ball in the "socket" of the glove.

If the pitcher's ball hits the palm of the hand, there are three bad consequences.

The catcher's own pain is only one aspect. The most important point for the defense is the hidden danger of dropping the ball.

If the baseball is not secured, the hitter after the strikeout is not considered out.

Not to mention the time lost in executing tactical actions such as passing second base.

In addition to the above two points, there is another issue that is often overlooked.

Whether it's a pitcher or a hitter, not everyone has the ability to visually measure ball speed.

In many cases, the power of a pitch is judged by hearing.

Being able to hear the crisp "ball catch" can definitely boost the morale of your side.

In fact, a truly experienced catcher can rely on his own technique to control the timbre of the catch.

Can make a straight ball at 120 km/h sound powerful.

It can also make a speedball with a speed of 140 kilometers per hour enter the glove and only emit a dull sound.

For a novice like Ibaraki, you can't do either of the above.

More than half of the baseballs were hit in the palm of the hand, making a strange "pop" sound.

Of course, there is also a reason why Yagi supervised Ibaraki to pitch with Tokuda in this game.

Tokuda's pitching, for the time being, doesn't rely much on the ball.

Or to put it another way, he can't perform the ball well.

Whether it's Lee Wonrang or Ibaraki. None of the catchers who partnered with him turned out to be too similar.

In the eighth game, Tokuda still did not lose points.

The School of Peace seems to be able to win this practice match smoothly.

But in the first half of the ninth inning, Tohoku Ikuei's last chance, at the beginning of the Fujino supervision, he changed to a substitute fighter.

Daisuke Amano, who wears the number four jersey, is also a first-year student.

At this year's Autumn Games and Jingu Games, Amano played every game of all the games.

Tokuda still used his speedball of more than 140 kilometers against the hitter.

Amano conceded the ball all the way over home plate before he began to swing the bat.

The baseball was knocked to the position of the three games.

The angle of the shot is obviously calculated by the hitter.

If Tokuda himself is now guarding the guerrilla defense zone, perhaps the ball can be left in the infield. But when it comes to first base, it's too late.

Not to mention that the current shortstop is a second-year Suzuki. With Suzuki's dexterity, it was more than enough to intercept the ball.

"Northeast Yuying actually has a beater of this level."

The Yagi Superintendent of the Peace School couldn't help but praise.。

When it comes to the explosiveness of the blow, Daisuke Amano is actually not outstanding.

Today, the center line of Northeast Yuying's start is all players who have the strength to hit home runs. And Amano is just a clever pie who eats by speed.

But there are very few beaters at the college stage who can really be called "skillful beating".

Amano is one of them.

He can really keep an eye on the ball, even if the speed of the ball is more than 140 kilometers.

It's not just about ball speed. Just talking about keeping an eye on the speedball is actually Li Yuanrang's forte.

Amano's strength lies in the fact that he can also control the direction of his shots.

This is very rare among college hitters.

Inspector Yagi has always hoped that Li Yuanrang would master this technique.

But Li Yuanrang has not been able to respond to his expectations.

According to technical statistics, more than half of Li Yuanrang's shots were on the right half of the court. The others are also dominated by the outfield.

This shows that when hitting the ball, Li Yuanrang is still mainly pushing.

And Li Yuanrang's push and beat are uncontrollable. There is no way to contribute more to the team's tactical execution than Amano.

Superintendent Yagi believes that with Amano's ability to control the baton just now, he will definitely be able to hit the ball to the right side of the court if he wants.

As for Amano's ability to maneuver on the base. This was no surprise to Inspector Yagi.

Hitters who will deliberately play in the direction of the three games and roll the earth must have enough confidence in their speed of running the bases.

What's more, Ibaraki, the catcher of the current Peace Academy, is a novice who even plays for the first time in practice matches.

Amano calmly stole second base after coming to base, and took third base under the cover of a right-hitting teammate.

This was all expected by the Yagi overseer.

The next few hitters of Northeast Yuying are the main players with back numbers.

Amano's dash combined with his teammate's high-flying sacrifice to save a point.

Tokuda also threw a four-bad run and released another batter to base.

The other two exits were strikeouts.

At the end of the first half of the ninth inning, the score was 3-6. The School of Peace won the game.

But the result doesn't matter. Teams from both sides of the competition were trained.

Players from both teams salute in line. The two overseers also shook hands.

"See you next year in Koshien?"

Fujino, the overseer of Tohoku Ikuei, said to Superintendent Yagi.

Tohoku Ikuei currently has an overwhelming strength advantage in Miyagi Prefecture. We are confident that we will qualify next summer.

"I hope we'll see you again, but we're ......"

"yes, you're in West Tokyo."

Superintendent Fujino said goodbye to Koshien was just a polite remark, and he knew that it would not be easy for the Peace School to do.

Tohoku Ikuei has just participated in this year's Jingu Conference. They didn't draw Tokyo to represent Hayata.

However, Hayada Sho's first round of competition, Superintendent Fujino also went to the scene to watch the game.

He was impressed by the efficient play.

The Peace Academy wants to qualify for next year's Nishi-Tokyo Games. It will not work without blocking this line.

And it's not just Hayata merchants.

The Nishitokyo area is a first-class war zone with a large number of private schools.
