Chapter 124: Deviation
Today's Fukushima Ichihei sent more than one four-bad escort. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The pitching pattern changed in order to save stamina is certainly one of the reasons. Another reason is that Fukushima doesn't want to mention it to his teammates, even though he feels something.
"The average height of the opponent is too low."
This sounds like a strong word, though. But in terms of rules, it's all true.
The good ball area of a baseball game is actually related to the height of the hitter. The lower edge is the knee, and the upper edge is the midpoint between the shoulders and waist, about the position of the chest.
The multi-school baseball club is composed of high school players with congenital physical deficiencies, and most of the players are around 170 in height.
It's not enough to be so short. But proportionally speaking, these opponents' good ball areas are about one-tenth smaller than the average hitter of Li Yuanrang's height.
Naturally, the difficulty of getting into the good zone is increased by one-tenth.
This will not be a problem for the usual Fukushima Ippei. But for Fukushima, who is now overdrawn on the field, the burden is not just Issei.
In the history of baseball, it's not uncommon to use height to get a four-bad. Back in the fifties of the last century, the Grand League. There is a team and a height of less than 110 centimeters, to use a word that is not quite correct now, a dwarf player signed.
This player has a record of making an official appearance in the major leagues as a substitute. The result was naturally four bad ball guarantees. 100 percent career baseball rate.
Of course, the more educated players are not so short. However, this is the case in eight of the starting nine, and Ichihei Fukushima is still a little impatient.
"Yabe, I've been thinking about a question, as a beater, is your four bad escorts a little less."
In the offensive half of a certain Peace Academy, Fukushima in the rest area thoughtfully raised this question. Akio Yabe's height is about the same as today's opponent. However, Yabe seems to have more strikeouts than the four bad balls.
"Maybe it's because I love swinging sticks so much."
Yabe couldn't pick out the other meaning of Fukushima's casual words.
Arrows that use guessing the ball to hit are not always the right bets. More than half of the time, he will be out because of his own miscalculations, or even simply because his opponent's pitch is not controlled as it should be.
However, if Yabe guesses the result correctly, it can often surprise a strong enemy.
"But if you don't swing a pitcher with a bad ball, will you have a higher base-run rate?"
The thought flashed through Fukushima's mind for a few seconds, and he said it casually. And then he himself tossed aside.
Halfway through the game, the score was 6-7 at the end of the six innings.
Although the Peace Academy relied on Li Yuanrang's three blows to concentrate on some points. But their opponent, Tama Gakuen, is like an ant moving, adding little by little, and now it still maintains its lead.
Most of the points lost at the Peace Academy are not entirely a matter of pitcher ability or ball matching.
Take advantage of the power of a metal bat and take advantage of the immaturity of the college team's defense. Coupled with active running and tacit tactical coordination.
The team at this stage of the university, even if it is a famous family that is stronger than the Peace Academy, will always feel a little tricky to face an opponent like Duoxuegao.
The Hayata Sho and Komeito Takashi in front are both first-class famous families in the Nishitokyo area. But in the end, they were all defeated by this tactic of chronic bloodletting and eliminated.
"Let's get a few more points in the next half of the game!"
The first half of the seventh inning ended.,This half of the Peace School Park lost another point.,The score is 6-8.。 When Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area, he felt a little angry. So I said the above sentence to my teammates.
Under the seventh inning, the blow of the Peace School happened to start from the first stick again.
The physical strength of the multi-learned high-pitcher who started three times in five days finally dropped to the level that others could see.
Sweating profusely, if it's just a façade, the tachymeter won't lie.
Facing Miyagi, who was the first batter, Tiandao threw two straight balls of less than 120 kilometers in a row.
The speed of the third ball reached 124 km/h.
But as Ichihei Fukushima said before. The timing of the shot was not maintained. Baseball is not released closest to home plate. And the angle at which the ball went into base was not tricky enough.
Miyagi won't miss such a powerless straight ball.
The line between first and second base was broken through, and Miyagi easily went up to first base.
Masaoka, who was the second batter, took a striking stance as soon as he came up. But the ball didn't get right.
The originally hoped "short hit" turned into a rolling ball in the direction of the pitcher. Fortunately, the pitcher with tall legs and long legs had some difficulty handling the rolling earth on the ground.
Miyagi went to second base, and the result was no different from the average sacrifice play, and Masaoka traded his own exit for a teammate's advance.
Li Yuanrang walked into the strike zone for the fourth time today. It's a great opportunity to get points back.
Duo Xuegao's throwing partner also did special research on Li Yuanrang before the game.
At this point in time, they don't want to drop points.
Li Yuanrang's weakness is in the inner corner, although it is only a relative weakness. However, if you want to suppress the beaters in this situation, you can only start from this place.
The first ball is a fastball with a high inside corner.
It is said that it is a speedball, and the speed of the ball is only 120 kilometers.
Li Yuanrang responded by swinging his stick in advance. The baseball was sent to third base and the side stands became out of bounds.
This was followed by a second inside corner.
It's bad balls. Li Yuanrang dodged backwards, not letting the baseball touch his body.
"The third goal should be the outside corner."
If Li Yuan let himself, he would definitely not have three inside corners in this situation.
If the ball is really a straight ball in the inside corner, Li Yuanrang has the confidence to hit it. But now he assumes that the next ball is an outside corner kick and prepares for swinging. Even the body leans forward a little involuntarily.
somewhat surprised him, Tiandao's third ball was a change ball. And the ball type is a slippery ball.
In this game, Tiandao rarely threw a slippery ball at Li Yuanrang. Because of this, the opponent's changing trajectory of the ball path Li Yuanrang lacks a reference standard.
The left pitcher's slider is drilled into the inside corner of the right-hitter. Tiandao's ball could have been a dead corner that was meant to be stuffed into a good ball area. But in the end, the ball was off.
The moment the ball was shot, Li Yuanrang realized that the ball would slide out of the good ball area. However, the amount of change in this ball was still a bit unexpected for him.
Within a few hundred milliseconds, Li Yuanrang quickly realized that the ball would eventually hit his elbow.
In terms of Li Yuanrang's dynamic vision and physical reactions, dodging such a ball was not a problem in the first place.
However, Tendo's pitching stance is a big step forward from the pitcher's mound, and the left hand is also as close to home plate as possible before releasing the baseball.
This subtle change in timing affected Li Yuanrang's prediction.
He dodged backwards, but was eventually a little late.
The bat smashed into the base of the bat, which also affected the left hand holding the bat. (To be continued.) )
