It's been a while since learning the ball to be a catcher. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Li Yuanrang, of course, knows what "urgency" is all about.

But for the average pitcher, a difference of 20 or 30 kilometers between a straight ball and a change ball is a rarity.

For example, this year's opponent, Chiba of Fuso's third place, has a pitcher who is nearly 50 kilometers slower than a straight ball, and there are really not many pitchers in the college field.

Slow curveballs are not particularly rare, but Li Yuanrang really hasn't seen such a beautiful slow curveball before. Especially from the left pitcher.

Chiba Hiroyuki's pitching stance is typical of three-quarter throws. Even so, for Li Yuanrang, Chiba's curveball was still thrown from a position far away from him, drawing a big arc and finally drilling into the outer corner of the good ball area.

The trajectory of the whole ball feels very far away from you.

Based on his sense of space and insight, Li Yuanrang of course knew that this ball would eventually fly to the area where he could hit.

The hands holding the bat are ready to swing the bat, and the delicate tens of milliseconds when the ball is late makes the muscles in the hitter's body full of tension all the time.

Li Yuanrang looked at the throw-in he hit. He knew that if he had a few more chances, he would be able to find the rhythm of sniping the slow curveball.

When a left pitcher throws the ball, the point of the shot is often completely exposed to the right hitter.

The feeling of the so-called "far" point of the shot in the outside corner is actually a favorable condition for the average right-hand player to observe the ball.

But at least for now, Li Yuanrang has not been able to adapt.

The third ball is a speedball. The location is not particularly tricky. However, the difference in speed gives the player the illusion that the ball is faster.

Of course, Li Yuanrang will not be easily suppressed by such a ball speed and cannot play the bat.

The actual ball speed is 140 kilometers, and the somatosensory ball speed may be nearly 150 kilometers away, and this straight ball is finally hit.

The flight trajectory is high but not far.

Outfielder Funahashi shouted and took over the defense zone behind the shortstop. The ball was securely caught in the glove.

"It's a shame, I was expecting Funabashi to miss this ball."

As soon as he returned to the rest area, Yabe said this to Li Yuanrang.

"How can a fly ball of this level be so easy to make mistakes."

"yes, it would be nice to have a flatter trajectory, especially if the ball could get into the bridge's zone."

Fuso's third outfielder, Toshito Funabashi, is a trailblazer in the line.

The strength of the strikes and the bases is top-notch.

With good speed, the outfield has a wide range.

But he has a fatal weakness, which is that he is a little rough when receiving the ball.

It's not a matter of not having solid basic skills, it's purely a matter of mentality.

In the last game, it was because of his missed connection in the first game, and Yono High School scored the first score at the beginning.

But later, it was also Funabashi who relied on his own home run to equalize in third.

No matter how believable the goalkeeping is, no supervisor would dare to put a player of Funahashi's calibre on the bench based on the ability to hit and walk bases.

In the second half of the game, the first hitter to face in the Peace School Park was Toshito Funabashi.

Funabashi is a right-hand thrower. As the surname indicates, he was born in Chiba Prefecture.

Exposed to baseball from an early age, he competed in the LittleLeague series at all levels in elementary and middle school. In the end, he relied on his baseball achievements to enter the third place in Tokyo's private famous Fuso.

This is the trajectory of the typical baseball elite. Not just Funabashi, almost everyone in Fuso's third starting lineup followed this path.

The School of Peace is the complete opposite of them.

As the main catcher, Li Yuanrang has only been in contact with baseball for three or four months.

The rest of the team has always been just fans of playing tickets. Either that, like Tako and Masaoka, they will give up halfway on the road to baseball's elite.

If there is anyone who has regarded baseball as the number one event in their lives since childhood.

Probably only Fukushima Ichihei, who is the captain and ace.

The race had only just begun, and Fukushima didn't show any tiredness on his face.

However, Li Yuanrang knows how his partner is doing today.

Although the speed of the ball is still there from the perspective of the speed tester, it can be detected from the feel of receiving the ball, and there is a big gap between the baseball base speed and the muzzle velocity.

The decrease in spherical quality of the change ball is even more pronounced.

In today's game, how to let Fukushima allocate physical strength to maintain control of the ball is a big challenge for Li Yuanrang.

Funabashi is notoriously fast-legged. However, when matching the ball, Li Yuanrang still tried his best to let Fukushima lower the ball and strive to make the opponent play a fan.

The results were not ideal.

Not only was it consumed by the opponent to two good and two bad. The outside corner of the fifth ball was pushed in the direction of the third game.

Kawasaki, the third baseman with a lot of supporters on the sidelines, struggled to stop the rolling ball. But it didn't get time to pass to first base.

The shot became an infield hit.

Miyashita, who is the second batter, is still a left-handed hitter.

As soon as he stood in the strike zone, Miyashita put on a posture of sacrificing the strike.

Lee Won Jean used a high ball to try to crack the opponent's strike. But when the first ball was thrown, Li Yuanrang realized that this posture of swinging a short stick was not really about hitting the baseball.

Miyashita's forward leaning body was just to create an obstacle to block Lee Wonrang's pass to second base.

As soon as Fukushima got into the pitching position, the bridge on the base immediately started.

Li Yuanrang, who was interfered with by the beater, could only move half a step to the left before he could pass the ball to second base. And of course there is no time.

Funabashi stood on the base without any suspense. The stealing of the base was successful.

The number of balls is a good ball.

Miyashita, who was covering his teammates to steal the base, still struck in a striking position.

"Do you want to cover the thieves this time?"

Li Yuanrang asked.

"This time it's really to the point."

What Miyashita said was not a lie.

If you want to interfere with the catcher's pass to third base, it's best to be a right-hand hitter.

Now if the palace is trying to cover the thieves, it is actually meaningless to put on such a posture again.

Li Yuanrang made a secret signal to Fukushima Yiping.

A speedball from the top edge of the good ball area flies towards the outside corner of the hitter.

Miyashita's strike turned into a small high flying ball. was picked up by Li Yuanrang in the gloves.

"Look, at least you've done it now."

Facing the back of Miyaxia leaving the strike zone, Li Yuanrang muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

Whether it's sacrificing yourself or not, batting is a common occurrence in college baseball. In order to cope with this situation, Li Yuanrang read a lot of information.

Considering that his partner is a pitcher of this type in Fukushima. Lee's chosen countermeasure was to try to throw a straight ball from the top edge of the good zone.

This kind of ball will also be a good shot for the opponent. And if you insist on going to the point, the probability of forming a small flying ball is quite high.

Li Yuanrang has just verified this countermeasure in actual combat. It seems to have a good effect.
