According to the instructions of Superintendent Yagi, Li Yuanrang tried to use all the change balls to deal with the hitter in the next mat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Akio Yabe, the starting pitcher at the Peace Academy, can throw curveballs and sliders.

Skateball has been receiving personal instruction from Yagi's supervisor recently. Although there was no particularly noticeable improvement, the ball quality improved.

Occasionally, Yabe can throw one or two sharp sliders similar to those of the time when Yagi was in active service.

Of course, the ball speed is much slower. And when it will be cast, Yabe himself is not sure.

Yabe's opponent is the catcher Hara of Fuso Osetagani.

As the team's sixth baseman, Hara's long-term strength can be seen from the thickness of his arms.

To act as a catcher, strong shoulders are a necessary condition. Hitting distance is just a by-product of working the upper body and arm muscles.

Li Yuanrang is not very sure if the hitter next to him is really not good at hitting the change ball. The first two balls were successive sliders from the outside corner.

Hara let go of one of the bad balls. And when he swung the bat to chase the second ball, he also swung an empty bat.

Next is the inside corner, Li Yuan let the curveball go to the low inside corner of the ball area.

Yabe's curveball ball speed is just over 100 kilometers away.

As a hitter, even if the curveball is a variation type that you are not good at playing, you will probably feel that you can hit it.

Hara shot at the curveball in the inside corner. Despite the decisiveness of the swing of the bat. However, the angle of the ball into the base still makes the hitter feel a little "squeezed".

The baseball was swept toward third base.

Although it was not slow, it was still easy for Kawasaki, the third baseman.

Kawasaki opted to pass second base first.

Fuso Daisetagani, who has been on base for a long time, is now in a situation where he is forced to enter the base.

He was blocked before second base.

Then the second baseman passed the first base.

The double kill was successful.

Even though the other party's rest area still came with praise such as "good fight".

But the Yagi Superintendent of the Peace School knows.

In this half-game contest, he has the upper hand.

And he was able to do this because of his knowledge of the history of college baseball.

The crackdown strategy pursued by Superintendent Morita of Fuso Osetaya is nothing new.

In the 80s of the 20th century, Japanese college baseball first attracted attention when Hayata, who appeared in Koshien for five consecutive seasons.

But just at the last summer meeting of Wasata's sho attracted the nation's attention to the ace Arakawa Daisuke High School. The prefectural Mino High School from Tokushima Prefecture suddenly rose.

In the semi-finals, he defeated Hayata, scored double-digit points from Araki, and won the final by a large margin.

At the selection meeting in the spring of the following year, Mino Takatin achieved summer and spring hegemony. In the summer conference of the same year, they also obtained the qualification of representatives, and launched an unprecedented attack on the three consecutive hegemony of public universities.

The tactics used by Tokushima Prefecture's Mino Takashi were to make the most of the characteristics of metal bats. I do not pursue the certainty of the blow but only strengthen the strength of the upper body. Fight for hits with the speed and power of your swing.

This tactic was unstoppable at one point. Until they meet their nemesis. BL Gakuen with KK combination。

The summer conference where Mino Takashi sought three consecutive dominations. BL SCHOOL'S HITTER KIYOTA AND PITCHER KUWABARA ARE BOTH IN THE FIRST GRADE.

The reputation of the KK group has not yet become famous in Japan.

It was a time when college pitchers basically only threw straight balls. However, Kuwabara, who was only a first-year student at the time, was able to throw straight balls with a speed of more than 140 kilometers with a high-pressure shot, plus a curved ball with a sharp angle on the base.

In the semi-finals, BL Gakuen faced Mino High and won 7-0. Let Mino's dream of three consecutive high school hegemony come to naught.

It is the curveball that is known as the ancestor of the change ball, the most common and the simplest change ball, and the pitcher Kuwabara restrained Mino Taka's violent play.

That year, Tomohito Yagi, the current superintendent of the Peace Academy, was a child at the time, and he was not particularly impressed by these things.

However, after taking college baseball as his research topic, Yagi studied a lot of related materials.

Kuwabara's victory over Sanno High was naturally remembered in his mind as a classic example.

Since Fuso Daisetagani is now imitating the line of Mino Taka. Then Superintendent Yagi decided to imitate the way BL Gakuen defeated Mino Takashi to restrain his opponent.

Of course, it is also unrealistic to expect Akio Yabe's change ball to completely suppress the opponent's line.

Yabe's own repressive power is one of those problems. Another factor depends on the strength of the opponent.

After all, the times are different, and even a batter who blindly swings the batter with all his strength cannot completely fail to do targeted training on the changing ball in this era.

Especially in the current college games, many hitters deliberately snipe the ball with a slower change of ball speed.

In the following games, it still depends on Li Yuanrang's matching ball and the hitter.

The game just now, all the change balls were used as a test of strategy.

Moreover, Inspector Yagi also had other considerations for making such a deployment.

Catcher Hara, who is tall and has strong arms, looks like a beater who meets the current guidelines of Morita supervision.

But such a player is ranked as the sixth batter outside the center line and clearly has his own flaws in the strike.

I am afraid that this defect does not come from the power of swinging the bat. Then nine times out of ten, it is in the certainty of the blow.

It was when Superintendent Yagi saw this that he guessed that the opponent was not good at playing the change ball, and gave instructions to completely restrain the hitter with the change ball.

This judgment is certainly risky. But as far as the results are concerned, at least this time the Yagi overseer bet on the right treasure.

The game continued.

The hitter on the side of the Peace School has not yet touched the door in the face of the opponent's pitcher, Tominaga.

Among college-level pitchers, Tominaga is accurate in his ball handling.

The configuration of the change ball is two ways of the ball, one inside and one outside.

It makes effective use of the difference between the width of the good ball area and the lateral vision.

In the second and third games, the Peace School didn't get a base at all.

In the first half of the fourth game, the Peace School ushered in its second round of blows.

As the second batter in this game, Akio Yabe achieved results with a guessing shot.

I gradually became familiar with the opponent's ball path, and guessed the matching strategy.

Yabe fished an inside jet ball into the middle field.

The baseball lands in front of the stalwarts. Yabe had plenty of time to run to first base.

Obviously, the more Yabe's guessing stroke is against a pitcher with accurate ball control, the more effective it is.

Next up was the third batter, Tokuda Ball.

Before walking into the strike zone, Tokuda ran back to the rest area and said a few words to the superintendent. Then Superintendent Yagi nodded.

Ball Tokuda, who was recorded as a "right-hitter" on the player's registration file, stood in the left-hand striker's zone this time.

This isn't the first time he's played on the left against an opposing pitcher.

In the rest area of Fuso Daisetaya, Superintendent Morita frowned.
