"Send us back to home plate!"

Lee Wonrang on first base shouted at Fukushima in the strike zone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info meant to encourage his teammates. But in reality, Fukushima is putting more pressure on it.

In the last few races, with runners on the lap, Fukushima's performance was not bad. But the impressive home run production was just insufficient.

This time, Fukushima did not set himself a home run target at first.

Now the situation on the court is two outs, if you blindly pursue long play, I am afraid that the team will miss a good opportunity to score on the base.

Ichihei Fukushima is the team's four-time hitter and captain. In this team where there is no real supervision. It also bears the burden of oversight.

Therefore, he had to start from the big picture and put the manufacturing score in the first place.

But on the other hand, what is the more effective means of scoring on the baseball field than a home run?

Sakyo Katayama's pitching has his threat. However, after allowing the opponent to base in succession, now is the best time to beat him in one go.

The pitcher after the mess throws a straight ball that is black and white. Although the ball speed and ball power are still there, it is not difficult to aim.

After one good and two bad, Ichihei Fukushima stared at a high inside corner kick and shot decisively.

The ball is violently pulled by the bat towards the left field. The trajectory is very straight. Before the runners on base could figure out if they were going to leave base, the ball hit the home run wall.

Miyagi on third base rightfully returned to home plate. Masaoka on second base was also in time.

Now it's Li Yuanrang's turn.

The timing was very delicate, and the teammates at the third base running guide position wanted to make a gesture to stop moving forward, but they were lucky.

Before he could make up his mind to make a gesture, Lee had already begun to turn around the third base pack.

The outfielders were not confident enough in their shoulder strength, and the ball was passed through the shortstops' relays to home plate.

Out of consideration for his own safety, Li Yuanrang did not make a move to slide or pounce.

The baseball passed into the catcher's glove one step ahead of him, and it was impossible for Li Yuan to turn back. He tried to evade the trappers but was unsuccessful.

Three outs, but the score became two to one.

In the fourth game, the attack to the German business started from the third bat.

Haruto Shimazaki, who is the eighth baseman, may not have a chance to play in this half-game.

He went to the pitching practice area outside the rest area on the third base side and warmed up with the team's backup catchers.

"Finally going to change pitches?"

Lee Wonrang, who was behind home plate, glanced at Shimazaki on the left side of the field with his peripheral vision, and thought to himself.

However, the interesting point is that Katayama, who is the ninth baseman, also joined the practice pitch later.

In the second half of the game, it became a mystery who would be the main opponent. In other words, the two of them practicing throwing together was originally a normal dispatch smoke bomb.

Of course, the next half is the next half after all. For Li Yuanrang and his teammates at the Peace Academy. Defending this half-game is the task at hand.

Fukumitsu, the three-stick Ochiai Fumitsu, is a super first-year student who has attracted the attention of the media. The crowd that was present at this game did not fill the stands. But the number of long guns and short guns carried by journalists and college baseball enthusiasts is not small.

Ochiai Fukumitsu is, of course, the primary target of their attention today. However, if you can perform well under the attention of so many pairs of eyes, you will definitely be able to impress everyone as an opponent.

Regarding this, it was a question that Yabe and Lee Moto worried about before the game.

"Fukushima's usual ball control skills are top-notch in the college football world. But if he deliberately pushes the ball fast, he is just an ordinary Bengue-style pitcher. ”

This is Yabe's hint to Li Yuanrang.

Junior high school and high school have been teammates with Fukushima twice, and Akio Yabe is the person who knows Fukushima's characteristics the most in the team.

Ichihei Fukushima's ball speed can soar to the second half of 130 kilometers. If the pitching posture is slightly modified, it may not be impossible to break through 140 kilometers.

But that kind of Fukushima Issei is really just an ordinary college-level pitcher, far less valuable than the current pitching mode of early 130 kilometers plus precise ball control.

In the face of Ochiai Fukumitsu, at least at the beginning of this meeting, Fukushima still maintained his own sanity.

The first shot was thrown into an awkward position in the inside corner that prevented the opponent from taking a shot.

Li Yuanrang's gloves barely shifted before receiving the incoming ball. The level of possession was the same as always.

The second ball was an escaping slide that just slipped out of the good zone. Ochiai Fukuman closed the stick in time, one good and one bad.

For the third and fourth balls, Li Yuanrang matched two high fishing balls in almost the same position.

Ochiai throws one of the balls out of bounds and the other goes over.

Two good and two bad.

The current situation is barely favorable in terms of casting.

Li Yuanrang planned to take an inside corner, and it was no problem to deviate slightly from the good ball area. The aim is to deter the opponent to cover the final outside corner lob.

Due to the relationship between the fighting heart, Li Yuanrang paused sharply when he put out the position of the glove.

Fukushima on the pitcher's mound seemed to understand something, and nodded his head sharply in response.

This sharp nod made Li Yuanrang panic.

Only then did he remember that the pause just now was the code of "all-out pitching" agreed before the game.

Although Lee Motorang, at Yabe's suggestion, did not intend to give instructions to Fukushima to throw the ball with all his might in this match. However, at Fukushima's own request, such a code was agreed.

Now face the top hitter in the opposing team. It's a bad ball as a foreshadowing, but there is no need to pitch with all your strength.

Li Yuanrang wanted to explain something, but the sign language and code agreed before the game were not accurate enough.

What's more, Fukushima has already begun the action of pitching. I can't stop him.

Li Yuanrang could only bite the bullet and prepare to catch the ball.

Ichihei Fukushima used an exaggerated high leg swing on this ball. Not to mention, this kind of contrary to his usual pitching posture is already a big enemy of ball control.

The baseball roared from the pitcher's mound, but it didn't go straight to the glove position that Lee had already set.

Rely on best-in-class dynamic vision and reflex nerves. Li Yuanrang still easily received the ball.

The sound is a clear "bang". It's not a little trick when the catcher catches the ball, but a solid sound made by the power of the baseball itself.

The most amazing thing is where the ball goes into base.

It's a good ball with a heart in the middle. The location couldn't be sweeter.

Although the speed and power are not bad. But Li Yuanrang knew that no matter how he threw Fukushima's straight ball, it was not fast enough to hit.

In other words, Fukuman Ochiai in the strike zone let go of this super sweet straight ball.

Strikeouts out.

Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at the beater beside him.

Ochiai's eyes stared at the catcher gloves with an expression of disbelief, and he still couldn't fully accept the fact that he was out of the game.
