Chapter 107: Let's step on the base

In this blow, Li Yuanrang gave himself the goal of getting out of the base at the beginning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although if you can hit a home run, you can get an equalizer immediately. However, if you give up the accuracy of the stick control in the pursuit of power, it seems that it is easier to be beaten by the opponent's speedball fetish ball.

But when exchanging strategies with his teammates off the court, Yabe denied this view of Li Yuanrang.

"Do you really have a stick to speak of?"

This is the question asked by Yabe.

Li Yuanrang, as the player with the least actual combat experience in the team, is actually far from the degree to which he can consider the choice of stick control or strength.

After all, it's college baseball, and anything can happen when you hit the ball. Lee corrected the goal to hit the ball as hard as possible.

Shimazaki Haruka still uses the fastball system he is good at to deal with Li Yuanrang, and there is no sign of throwing pure change balls or straight balls.

The first ball grabs the underside of the bat. Forming a strong rolling earth in the direction of the third base. This is pretty much one of the most anticipated results for Shimazaki. But the ball went out of the touchline before it reached third base.

The second ball is an inside corner lob.

If it was a faster ball thrown by other pitchers, Li Yuanrang would still have some difficulty dealing with the ball with a high inside corner.

But Shimazaki's ball speed is really not fast.

Adjusting his posture and swinging the stick in advance by the way, it was more than enough time for Li Yuanrang.

The bat hits the bottom edge of the baseball. It's a pity that it was slightly out of bounds and flew into the left field stand.

The reason why hobby pitchers are rare in the field of college is that the defensive ability of college fielders is sometimes too much to rely on, and the other is because of the power of the metal bat itself.

The level of defense of this team is good. And it is true that there is no better pitcher on the team than Shimazaki.

That's why they dare to have this type of player as an ace.

In the previous games, Zhide Shang rarely had the opportunity to complete the opponent. has always relied on the strength of the line to suppress.

So although the current score is one point behind the Peace Academy, the pressure on pitcher Haruna Shimazaki is not light.

So far, only three points have been scored on the line of Zhide Shang. The blow in the first half of the next nine innings also started from the back of the bat. The outlook for additional points is not encouraging.

Not to mention the problem of being reversed by the other party, even if this game was equalized by the Peace Academy. Then the game is likely to go to a play-off.

Harusha Shimazaki worries that the Heping Academy's line will gradually grasp the rhythm of his pitching.

And this kind of speedball in the early 110 kilometers. Even if it is varied, it is only a matter of time before the other party adapts to it.

After two good shots, Shimazaki faced Lee Wonrang and threw three goals in a row.

Despite being a fastball fetish, Shimazaki can still control the ball into the corner of the good ball area.

It's a pity that because of the speed of the ball, it is not difficult for the opponent to hit the baseball.

All three balls were hit by Lee Wonrang. All became out-of-bounds.

"Could it be that this Li Yuanrang is going to turn on the sticky mode?"

Tian Guwu on the sidelines muttered while holding the statistics booklet.

"Huh? Can't you see it? These shots are just trying to hit hits but not playing well. ”

Akio Yabe was a little surprised by Tako's layman's words.

Recently, Tian Gu has been in charge of data collection and analysis, and has read a lot of information. The knowledge of baseball seems to be abundant.

But he couldn't even tell the difference between a deliberately hit out of bounds and an out of bounds that couldn't be hit.

"I usually only deal with written materials, and I don't see much of this kind of thing."

To some extent, Tian Gu is indeed a master of talking on paper. But for now, it's really just on paper.

The number of balls is still good, and in order to deal with Li Yuanrang, Shimazaki has already thrown five balls.

The next sixth ball. A slider from the outside corner and out of the good zone.

This goal was beyond Li Yuanrang's expectations.

This is not the first "change ball" thrown by Shimazaki today, and Li Yuanrang is not sure about it for a while.

But it was definitely the first change shot by Shimazaki that Lee let himself face today.

Regarding the data analysis team composed of those members of the department who did not have a back number, Li Yuanrang had heard of it for a long time.

If they really have carefully analysed their previous records, they should know it. This simple lure of the batter had no effect on him.

"Is it the opponent's underestimation, or do you feel that there are not enough samples for the game?"

Actually, neither of the above is true.

The reason why the opponent's catcher Maori will match this ball. What is considered is the "sense of rhythm" in terms of pitching and batting.

Lee seems to have gradually caught the rhythm of Shimazaki's pitching. One throw-in after throw-in may make the odds of a hit more and more likely.

Maori has three bad balls in his hand that can be used as chips.

He used one of them. And it is hoped that this kind of matching will disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's attack.

In a sense, Li Yuanrang was indeed interrupted by the slider just now, and the feeling of hitting the throw-in in a row.

On the next ball, Maori has a fetish ball on the lower edge of the good ball area. Or to be more precise, this is an American-style stretch ball that doesn't change much.

In any way, the purpose of this match is to avoid being hit by the opponent.

But since this is a fastball that can pass through the good zone. There must be a possibility of being knocked out.

Despite the slight change, Li Yuanrang still felt the trend of the ball changing down the inside corner.

He swung slightly early as he did with his own inside corners.

It's not purely relying on stick control technology, nor is it crooked.

It should be said that the decisive role in this blow was the instinctive reaction of the motor nerves.

The baseball flew over the third baseman's head and flew into the field on an extremely high trajectory. Until the home run benchmark blocked the forward course.

"This ball?"

The ball bounced back into the field by the home run and off the touchline of the left field. Li Yuanrang is not very familiar with the rules in this situation.

"Home run, let's step on the base bag."

Maori, the catcher next to him, took off his mask and stood up. The tone was a little lighthearted.

……

Mori's meeting with Shimazaki's pitcher mound only lasted for a short time.

Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area, high-fived his teammates and sat back in his place.

Before he could drink two sips of sports drinks to sweat, there was another crisp sound of hitting the ball on the field.

Ichihei Fukushima smashed a high two-seam speedball through the second room. Got on first base.

Akio Yabe appeared in this situation without being out.

Not surprisingly, a short stick was swinged.

It wasn't a wonderful smash. But it was enough to send Fukushima to second base.

After tying the score, the Peace School is now in the scoring circle again.

The scales seem to have tilted a little.

After completing the Sacrifice Fight mission, Yabe returns to the rest area. Sit next to Li Yuanrang and take off the protective gear.

"The next stick is Tokuda, I'm not here when I said that. This guy is actually really talented. ”

Yabe said his words without raising his head. The implication is that Tokuda is full of expectations for him to hit a well-timed hit.

But as soon as the words fell, the sound of hitting the ball came from the field.

Yabe looked up and saw the other catcher take off his mask and look straight up.

Tokuda hit an infield high fly. Two outs.
