Chapter 123: Shot
At the end of the first half of the first game, the Peace School fell behind 0-3. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the second time the points were dropped was a two-point hit. So all three points were taken from Yabe's hands.
Kazuhei Fukushima had to return to pitcher mound in the first half of the inning to pitch. By the time he got the third number of outs in the game, Tama Gakuen's starting nine had already played a round.
After the exchange of offense and defense, it was the turn of the ace Tiandao Haoxiong who learned more to shoot.
The composition of the players is mainly former hard young players who have worked hard since childhood but have no confidence to gain a foothold in a first-class private club. The biggest problem in the multi-learning high baseball club is the lack of good pitchers.
Basically, there is a pattern to the development of players in baseball. The most talented and physically developed player on the youth team will always be the pitcher.
Players who were pitchers in middle school are often the best on the team by that time. When you go to college, you certainly don't fall to the point of being rejected by the big names in baseball.
Those who will enter the special entrance course of high school sports. Most of them are tool players in some middle school teams. In middle school, he mostly played the second base, and the guard position was either second base or stalwt. Most of the heights are around 170.
Among them, the Tiandao hero, who is close to 190 years tall, stands out from the crowd.
With such a height but unable to enter the baseball fame, the bottleneck of Tiandao Haoxiong lies in the strength of muscles.
As a tall and long-arm pitcher, the ball speed is only in the second half of 120 kilometers in most cases. The top speed is only a little over 130 kilometers.
"It is said that in this heavenly way, you have to eat four bowls of one meal. But no matter how much you eat it, it doesn't grow meat. ”
Tian Guwu, the intelligence officer of the baseball club of the Peace School Park, is sharing some information with his teammates in the rest area that is completely useless for the game.
"Alas, don't you eat fat? So envious. ”
"No matter how you eat it, you won't grow meat" aroused the interest of Asakura, the manager who was absent-minded about the game. This is almost the ultimate goal of her life.
On the field of play, the first baton Miyagi didn't have time to swing in the face of an inside straight ball. Saw being knocked out by a strikeout.
After returning to the rest area, Miyagi was unconvinced.
"Is it really only 127 kilometers just now?"
In the final of the Nishi-Tokyo Games, the speed of each ball was displayed on a large screen. But Miyagi felt that there might be something wrong with the ball speed display.
"Actual motion ball speed is faster?"
Ichihei Fukushima had been watching his opponent's pitch just now, and if Miyagi's claim was true, then Fukushima felt that his judgment was not wrong.
The multi-educated pitcher Hiroo Tendo has a height of nearly 190. But as mentioned earlier, he lacked muscle strength. That height doesn't give him more ball speed.
However, Tiandao still found a way to make full use of its own advantages.
At first glance, his pitching stance looks like the most ordinary three-quarter shot. It makes full use of the flexibility of the body and throws the ball in the most natural form.
However, in terms of the next plate, Tiandao has its own characteristics. As a left-handed pitcher, he takes advantage of his height and throws his right leg farther than the average pitcher.
In conjunction with this, the hand pitch is also shot slightly later.
Although in this way, baseball cannot make the hitter feel like "falling from the second floor".
However, the distance from pitching to hitting base is shortened by this position.
It's not just a question of "the speed of the ball seems to have increased by 10 kilometers". The rhythm of the whole swing will be affected.
This is also the secret of Tiandao's use of his average ball speed of less than 130 kilometers to defeat strong opponents in the first few games.
"But this posture will consume more physical strength."
In the field of professional baseball, the practice of Heavenly Heroes is not uncommon.
Akio Yabe has also observed this skill in some pitchers during televised games.
After listening to Fukushima's commentary, Akio Yabe, who also has experience in pitching on the board, simulated the process of pitching like this in his mind.
If he had pitched in this way, he would have been physically burdened.
"If you don't have enough stamina, the action of the shot will be off, and there will be problems with the power of the ball and the possession of the ball."
Fukushima's words did not fall. On the pitch, there was the crisp sound of a metal bat hitting the ball.
After two outs, Li Yuanrang pulled a straight ball with a low outside corner back to the left side.
The baseball lands between the left fielder and the stalwarts. Despite the reluctance of timing, Li Yuanrang still stood safely on second base.
"Watch me send him back."
Fukushima walked to the strike zone with his bat in his hand.
In the second half of the first game, the Peace School moved back to two points.
The few hits that scored weren't all because of the opponent's pitching stance. At least the one that Li Yuanrang played was not.
Although he went all the way to the finals, it is clear that Fukushima is more suppressive when comparing the strength of the two teams.
Except for the first two rounds of the tournament against the fish belly team, the remaining games did not allow the opponent to score less than four points.
The reason they can win is because they can score more points than their opponents.
Even if Ichihei Fukushima plays, it will be difficult to stop this.
In the second game, the Peace School barely lost a point, but in the third game, it only lost another point because the opponent's first hitter was guaranteed four badly, and it was not hit by a hit.
As long as one runner can hit base, he will always be able to return his teammates to home plate with a variety of small tactics and mobility.
As a catcher, Lee has the advantage of being familiar with all the characteristics of his partner Fukushima. And in practice, we have mastered the matching mode that makes effective use of these characteristics.
But another responsibility of the catcher, organizing and coordinating the defense of the infield, is that Li Yuanrang has not done enough.
Facing a small tactical opponent like Duo Xuegao. It's too late to pursue formation running-in.
Li Yuan's response to himself was to "hit the score back." ”
In the third inning, first baseman Masaoka originally just wanted to consume more physical strength of his opponent. As a result, he was hit by a missed pitch and was unexpectedly sent to base.
Lee Won rang stood in the strike zone for the second time in this game.
After missing a bad ball that was too wide of the outside corner.
In the second ball, Tendo Yoshio threw a curved ball that drilled straight into the inside corner of the hitter.
The speed of Tiandao's straight ball is the second half of 120 kilometers. And the curveball is only a little more than 100 kilometers.
Regardless of the pitcher, the pitch is very different from the straight ball, and the left pitcher's body is completely exposed to first base.
All in all, the relatively slow change ball gave the base runner Masaoka hope of stealing the base.
After the pitcher's pitching stance began, Masaoka started quickly from first base, but slowed down after a few drives.
In front of him, the opponent's shortstop and second baseman looked in the direction of the outfield.
In the ball just now, Li Yuanrang hit a home run. (To be continued.) )
