Chapter 179: Control the Bat
Completed the Cover Teammates Performing the Double Thief Tactic. www.biquge.info When Li Yuanrang was really able to hit with peace of mind, the number of balls on the field had come to one good and one bad.
Of course, for Li Yuanrang, such a situation will not bring any pressure to his blow.
Fuso Daisetagani's pitcher Tominaga controlled the ball accurately, but in the face of Li Yuanrang's blow, he did not dare to decide the winner with only the ball close to the edge of the good ball zone.
After a few balls were entangled, the number of balls not only quickly became two good and three bad.
And after two good shots, Li Yuanrang hit a throw-in that was very close to a hit.
In Lee Wonrang, this play, pitcher Tominaga has consumed six balls.
In the next seventh goal, he even had the idea of giving up.
The catcher's original code was a curveball in the outer corner. The glove is placed in a low corner of the good ball area, but it is slightly out of the good ball area.
And Tominaga, as a pitcher, nodded his head, but his heart was always unsteady.
He knew what the catcher he was working with was thinking.
It's not just the process ahead of this game. The information that Tominaga has read also shows that Li Yuanrang has more than once shot a bad ball from the outside corner that he is confident he can hit.
Tominaga has a hunch that Li Yuanrang will still swing the bat, and there is a chance that he can hit it.
As a pitcher, the only thing he can rely on are three teammates with good outfield power.
Tominaga glanced back at Tokuda Ballo, a runner on second base, and took a deep breath. Throws the seventh pitch of this batter.
And Li Yuanrang swung the bat as expected.
The Upper Teak Park Stadium, where the match was played, had a wide outfield. Lee Wonrang's challenge to the long fight in the last strike was unsuccessful.
This time, his goal was a pure first-run hit.
Li Yuanrang's stick control ability is still being exercised, far from the extent to which he hits.
However, it is still possible to control the angle of play by swinging the bat, and if you are facing an outside corner change ball with a slow ball speed, you can still do it.
The curveball was originally a ball of change with a significant fall.
And Li Yuanrang played his striking style of staring at the ball to the end, controlling the hitting point of the bat, and trying to hit the top half of the baseball.
Because it was an outside corner, coupled with the last point of the ball island, this blow naturally turned into a push.
The baseball flew in the direction between first and second base, bouncing off the ground as it crossed the pitcher's mound.
Then he broke through the infield line before the second baseman rushed over to fill in the position.
Tokuda on second base had plenty of time to get back to home plate.
And because of the retreat vigilance of the opponent's outfielder, even Li Yuan let himself go to second base unexpectedly.
Now the score is 2-0.
Fuso Daisetagani called a timeout at this point. A substitute runs into the pitch with instructions from the superintendent.
And Li Yuanrang also took the opportunity to return to the rest area, took off the blow gear, and took a few sips of water by the way.
"It's too much of a fuss to pause at only 2-0."
Li Yuanrang looked at the opposing players on the field and said half-to himself.
"You're not exaggerating, the opponent just picks the ball on a base and calls a timeout."
Although Yabe Akio is now the main general, after all, he belongs to the same school year as Li Yuanrang.
Since the retirement of Fukushima Ichipei, Li Yuanrang has become slightly stronger in the communication between casting and capture.
In addition, Yabe's own suppressive power is indeed lacking. Therefore, in the previous group qualifiers, Li Yuanrang even had a situation where the opponent rushed to the pitcher's mound just by selecting four bad balls on base.
And now the opponent's Fuso Daisetagani called a timeout in this situation, and he also has a reason.
In baseball, once the balance between offense and defense is broken, a lot of points will be lost.
In this case, it is generally not the attacker who finds a breakthrough, but the defender who is in disarray.
It's only a two-point difference, but the situation on the pitch is not good for the defenders.
Li Yuanrang stood on second base, which was within the range of the point circle.
The fifth and sixth batters who will be hit later have a certain amount of attack power.
And no one is out of this game of Peace Academy.。
The emergency meeting on the pitcher's mound ended and the game continued.
Li Yuanrang waited on second base, but it was a ball containment.
Fortunately, because there was no intention of stealing the base at all, Li Yuanrang was not far away from the base bag, and he easily returned to the base without being out.
"Is this containment a tactic for supervising the arrangement?"
Li Yuanrang drew a question mark in his heart.
At this time, Tominaga, the opponent's ace on the pitcher's mound, breathed a sigh of relief and began to throw the ball at Tako, who was the fifth bat.
The ball was contained just now, and it was the result of discussions between him and Catcher Hara at the Pitcher's Hill meeting.
The goal is to quickly draw the attention of the defenders back to the court after the middle of the game, and by the way, also allow yourself to change the pace of the pitch.
Perhaps Tominaga did do it.
Facing the fifth baton of Tagu. The alternating lateral shifts inside and out, coupled with solid ball control, did make a difference.
Tian Gu Shenka saw the ball less, and it was very difficult to play.
The opponent uses the curveball as a cover, and uses the stretch card ball to hang the corner of the ball area to earn the number of balls.
After two good and two bad, Tian Gu turned his heart sideways and simply attacked and fought shortly.
However, because of the speed, Rita Ko rarely trains as an executor of strike tactics in his usual training.
The ball was spotted straight out of bounds and the strikeouts were out.
Superintendent Yagi in the rest area shook his head, and then called Donald Hirata, who was about to come on the field, to his side and explained a few words.
The other team members in the rest area watched the conversation with question marks on their heads.
"I'm an associate professor anyway, is it strange that I can speak two sentences of English?"
Superintendent Yagi noticed everyone's eyes.
"Overseer Yagi, in fact, Donald ......"
"Donald, he already knows some Japanese, at least he can communicate briefly about baseball."
It's been more than half a year since Donald Hirata arrived in Japan, and it seems that his Japanese skills have only started to improve by leaps and bounds after the summer vacation.
It came from a little trick he discovered.
You can't bring a cell phone in the rest area of the summer conference, and Donald finally memorized the fifty-tone chart at that time.
He then discovered that by pronouncing English words with a Japanese accent and inserting them into Japanese grammar, he could sometimes communicate with people.
This may not be useful in other areas, but it is enough to communicate on the baseball field.
The conversation in the lounge area wasn't over yet. The sound of bats hitting the ball was heard on the playing field.
Superintendent Yagi turned his head, and the baseball flew straight into the midfield.
The outside field of the Upper Teak Park Course is 120 meters away.
But this is not too much of a problem for Donald Hirata.
The ball flew at a distance of more than 140 meters.
Indisputably a home run.
Lee scored on home plate, then stayed where he was and high-fived Donald, who would return later.
Tominaga on the pitcher's mound turned his head to deliver the baseball, then wiped his sweat and sighed.
This ball Tominaga was pitched according to the deployment of the overseer, and the result was counterproductive.
