Chapter 178: Tactical Mission
Tokuda has been practicing left-hand play for some time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The purpose of his left-hand play is very simple.
That's the kind that the current Yagi Superintendent of the Peace School doesn't appreciate.,It's just that he just wants to rely on his own speed to increase the base rate of the infield.。
Now the Morita overseer of Fuso Osetaya has to make a decision.
Is Tokuda's next blow to hit a hit, or is it a safe strike as soon as he comes up?
This is the issue facing Inspector Morita.
On the first goal, Superintendent Morita did not give any instructions.
The catcher on the field still played the ball according to the practice of playing for a long time.
A low ball from the outside corner, Tokuda in the strike zone suddenly strikes.
Unfortunately, the ball deflected off the touchline on third base and became a throw-in.
Now the situation became clearer.
Now the opponents have understood. Tokuda wanted a short fight, and it wasn't a sacrificial fight, he wanted a safe touch.
Tokuda himself did not hide it, and directly put up a short stick.
Now there is no need for Morita to supervise the deployment, and the players in the field themselves know what to do.
First and third base advance defense to guard against Tokuda's touch.
As for pitchers, it is common to use the high ball when hitting the ball at the expense of the strike, and to use the change ball to drop from a high place in order to create an upward rebound in the baseball.
Tominaga, the pitcher of Fuso Osetagani, intends to do the same.
A curved ball is thrown high into the inside corner.
Tokuda, who was a hitter, withdrew his bat at the moment when the opponent threw the ball and switched to the usual way of swinging the bat.
Tominaga has a straight ball speed of about 135 km/h. The curveball, on the other hand, is just over 110 kilometers.
This kind of speed is not so difficult for Tokuda to aim as long as he guesses the path of the ball.
Tokuda wasn't really a left-hand hitter, the shot wasn't solid, and the baseball didn't fly far.
If it weren't for the forward goalkeeping, the ball would have landed in the first baseman's zone and would have been taken straight out.
But things are different now, and the baseball landed not far behind the first base.
Akio Yabe on first base had already started and now he was on third base, and Tokuda himself was on safe base.
Now the situation on the field has become one or three bases, and no one is out.
Overseer Yagi in the rest area deliberately stood up and applauded.
The tactics of this table just now were the result of a discussion between him and Tokuda. But in the end, such results were achieved by Tokuda's own immediacy of the situation.
For Li Yuanrang, who will enter the strike zone next, the next blow is a great opportunity to score, but the pressure is also there.
Lee Wonrang is now the team's fourth-time hitter. That means it's up to him to take crucial chances in the game to break the deadlock for his team.
Today's opponent's pitcher, Tominaga, has a distinctive change of the ball and is more accurate in ball control.
Although for Li Yuanrang, this opponent may not have absolute suppressive power. However, for the other beaters of the Peace Academy, Tominaga is really difficult to deal with.
If you squander your scoring opportunities like the first strike in a good situation like the first one, you will definitely pay the price in the rest of the game.
Li Yuanrang understands this. But he tried not to think about it.
The most taboo thing to combat this thing is impulsiveness, whether it is too excited or too nervous, it is not good for the game.
"The goal is to score."
This is what Li Yuanrang said to himself in his heart.
But as soon as he stood still, Superintendent Yagi in the rest area sent out a series of signals.
"You're going to steal the base, right?"
The opposing catcher, who was squatting behind home plate, asked Li Yuanrang so.
Of course, it was impossible to crack the code on the side of the Peace School so simply.。
But the situation is all too obvious.
There are people on the first and third bases, and the instructions issued by the superintendent at this time are nothing more than "stealing bases" or "forcing points".
Lee Wonrang is the center hitter of the team, and it is unlikely that Lee Wonrang will take the risk of forcing the score, and the runner on first base is none other than Tokuda, who has one of the best mechanics in the Peace Academy.
Then it seems that the only option is to steal the base.
Li Yuanrang knew the answer in his heart, but he didn't answer the other party's words.
The purpose of what the other catcher said at this time was very simple, it was just to interfere with the beater's thinking.
Li Yuan, who is a catcher, knows this very well.
However, it seems that the catcher of Fuso Osetagani is more than just talking.
The first ball he played with a high fastball from the outside corner.
Then jump up and quickly pass the ball to second base.
This is a typical tactic for dealing with stealing.
But the Tokuda ball on first base didn't move at all, and he didn't start at all.
"You've wasted a ball of your own right now."
Li Yuanrang tried to hold back a smile and said to the opponent beside him.
"It's just a bad ball, it doesn't matter."
Just now, the Yagi supervisor made a string of codes from the rest area, which actually included the content of "let go of the first ball".
However, according to the deployment, on the second ball, the runner on the base will start. Li Yuanrang's task is to swing an empty stick to cover his teammates.
Tokuda's departure from the base has been very obvious.
Pitcher Tominaga threw a containment shot.
Next, when I officially threw the second ball, I also used a quick pitching stance to deal with base theft.
It's an outside corner. According to his own judgment, Li Yuanrang felt that this ball was probably a bad ball.
However, the superintendent had already made a deployment to swing the baton to cover his teammates, and Li Yuanrang must now swing the bat.
After hitting the air, Li Yuanrang leaned forward slightly, blocking part of the catcher's view.
This swing of the bat is completely in line with the rules of a baseball game and does not count as interfering with the catcher's defense.
But to the catcher of Fuso Daisetaya, it turned out that he had to move half a step to pass to second base.
The vision on the left hand side of the original was completely blocked by Li Yuanrang, just at the moment when he passed the ball. Akio Yabe on third base also started to start.
Li Yuanrang dodged his body and gave way to the third base to home plate.
Tominaga on the pitcher's mound saw Yabe's activation and tried to intercept the catcher's pass. But it didn't have time.
It's not unusual for Tokuda to get to second base safely.
And the opposing second baseman passed back to home plate, but he couldn't catch up.
Akio Yabe, who came rushing from third base, made a flying pounce and crushed the entire home plate.
Safe base.
With the decision of Overseer Yagi to double steal bases. Peace School finally got the lead score in this game.
"Well played."
Yabe stood up, patted the dirt in front of him, and then said this to Li Yuanrang, who was beside him.
This time, Li Yuanrang did not hit any object at all. But tactically it is indeed "well played".
Not only did it delay the catcher's pass to second base, but it also blocked the catcher's view to third base, allowing Yabe's own thief to carry out.
Now Li Yuanrang's tactical task has been completed in this match.
Then there's the blow itself.
