Tokuda's flying pounce perfectly stopped the baseball from moving on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, with the ball in the glove, it is difficult to pass the ball while lying on your side on the court.

"Honda, pick it up!"

It takes time to get up and pass the ball again, and now the offensive runners are forced to go to base, and they can complete the block by passing the ball to their teammates on the base.

Tokuda passed the ball to second baseman Honda. And Honda is now stepping on the base bag at second base.

The moment the ball arrived, the opponent's runner was out.

Honda turned around and passed the ball to first base. Time is a little rushed.

“Safe！”

This is the judge's decision.

After all, the hitter Nishida is the backbone of the team, and the speed will not be too slow. Safety went up to first base.

The double kill that Inspector Yagi had hoped for did not materialize. The opponent's attack in this half game has to continue.

Thankfully, this time there was another out.

Now it's two outs. But the situation is that there are people on first and third base.

This means that the runner who equalized the score is still on first base. And the hitters in the strike zone represent a point ahead.

In accordance with the previous agreement, the Peace Academy changed the pitcher in this situation.

Tokuda, the original shortstop, ascended the pitcher's mound.

Outfielder Suzuki switched to guerrilla, while main commander Akio Yabe moved to the outfield.

Before the start of the trial throw, Li Yuanrang walked to Tokuda's side.

"When your arms warm up, try to speed the ball as fast as you can."

This is not only Li Yuan's own judgment, but also the result of discussing with Yagi Supervisor before the game.

As a catcher, Li Yuanrang couldn't do much auxiliary work for Tokuda.

The biggest advantage of Li Yuanrang's partnership with Tokuda is actually his dynamic vision and reflexes.

Although Tokuda is a speedball pitcher who doesn't have much control of the ball, he rarely makes wild throws and catches when he is paired with Lee Wonrang.

Occasionally, the baseball failed to catch the arrester's glove, and Li Yuanrang also used his tall body to keep the ball in front of him.

On the other hand, Tokuda, as a pitcher's partner, gave Li Yuanrang a bit of a headache.

The only elements of the ball are the ball type and the inside and outside corners.

Even so, not every ball may be able to perfectly execute the catcher's code.

The only thing to be thankful for is the feel of the test pitch now.

Through the feel of the glove when receiving the ball, Li Yuanrang could feel that Tokuda was in quite good shape today.

Even if I warmed up with eight points of force now, the speed of the ball was close to 140 kilometers. Not only that, but the force of the baseball falling into the glove is also quite good.

This means that the entire baseball does not lose much energy in the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate.

In this way, the visual perception of the hitter will feel that the ball speed is faster than the actual data.

But the upcoming hitter below isn't that easy to deal with.

The second baseman at the eighth baseman, Shigemu, threw a right shot and hit a left, and his batting strength did not match his batting power at all.

In the previous game, it has caused a lot of trouble for Li Yuanrang and Yabe's partner.

For Tokuda Ball, the only advantage that can be exploited in this situation is probably the first time the two sides meet, and the opponent should not be too accustomed to his pitching.

Li Yuanrang's first ball was not matched with a straight ball.

The opposing hitter just watched Tokuda's test shot from the side, and thought that he had already seen several straight balls.

Li Yuanrang first used the speed ball to confuse the opponent, and he was already somewhat accustomed to the vision of the straight ball.

The ball was originally played in the outside corner.

Due to the pitcher's ability to control the ball, the direction of the base is closer to the center of the home plate.

It is precisely because baseball seems to have entered the sweet spot that the hitter does not hesitate to swing the bat.

The drop and speed difference of the speed ball played a role.

It's a blast, a good start.

The second ball, a fastball in the inside corner.

Li Yuanrang's gloves were not placed in any special position.

Tokuda, however, threw the ball as if it were a deterrent to the beater.

The baseball flew inwards at eye height.

The beater flashed backwards smartly, but he was finally not hit.

Even the kind of hitter who likes to deliberately rub his body against the baseball in order to get off the base probably won't be happy to let Tokuda's through ball hit him.

Both speed and power are considered the best among pitchers in their age group.

Li Yuanrang's words were still in his heart.

Just now, he felt that the warm-up had been completed, so he used all his strength.

From the perspective of a catcher, Li Yuanrang felt that Tokuda's goal, even if it did not exceed it, should have been close to 145 kilometers.

The number 145 kilometers Tokuda once threw in practice. It's just that it was never recorded in official competitions.

The same is true for today's game.

In the Tokyo area, the official data records the pitcher's ball speed only in the final stages.

The summer conference is after the semi-finals. Since only the finals will be held at Jingu, the previous games will be limited by the venue, and the pitchers' ball speed data will not be disclosed.

Of course, no matter how fast the ball is, a bad ball is still a bad ball.

After two goals, the number of goals is one good and one bad.

This result is not the result of Li Yuanrang's careful guidance.

Pitching with Tokuda, Li Yuanrang felt that it depended on luck to some extent.

As for the ball, let's start with a simple alternation of inside and outside.

Since Tokuda's last goal is an inside corner kick close to the opponent's hitter.

The next ball is good with the outside corner.

Li Yuanrang typed out the code. Tokuda on the pitcher's mound nodded.

A speedball is thrown, not only the speed of the ball is quite amazing, but the angle of entering the base is also tricky.

The hitter didn't react at all, and the baseball flew into the catcher's glove.

Two good and one bad, the situation has become favorable for the defender.

Lee noticed the distance of the opponent's first base runner.

According to the code, Tokuda made two containments.

But none of them posed enough threat to the runners.

Li Yuanrang decided not to entangle with the opposing runner anymore, and only the last good ball was left anyway.

As long as the hitter is eliminated, this half-round attack can be stopped.

Of course, the code of the fourth ball is still a straight ball, and Li Yuanrang wants an outside corner kick.

The purpose is also not complicated.

Assuming that the runner actually wants to steal the base and throw the ball into the outside corner, the catcher will be better able to react.

Tokuda's baseball is thrown.

The runners on the base start at the same time.

Lee took a step into the outside corner and stood up, ready to receive the ball and pass straight to second base.

But baseball didn't make it into the catcher's glove.

The straight ball, which was clearly too high, was bitten by the batter and pulled towards the right field.

Tako, the fielder in charge of the area, took two steps back and stopped moving.

As a "former" hitter, Tako is all too familiar with the trajectory of the high-flying ball in the field.

There is no point in chasing the ball.

The baseball flew over the right field into the stands.

It was a home run. Reverse a three-point home run.
