Although it was a two, three, and four excellent plays, the attack on the third inning, the Peace School was three up and three down in vain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Nobuo Koyamada, the pitcher who is now on the court, has only been a pitcher for a year, the excellent arm strength he has cultivated in his outfielder days has given him a fast ball speed that far exceeds that of the average college player.

In the first half of the game, in the face of the first two hitters, Koyamada solved the battle with only a straight ball.

Even Fukushima, the four-batter against the Peace Academy, was nothing more than a noticeably low pitch ball to disrupt the rhythm.

However, for Koyamada's partner, catcher Harusuke Yamamoto, it was actually very boring to form a shooting partner with him to play this kind of practice match without the pressure of winning or losing.

Koyamada's fastball is enough to suppress his opponent, so he doesn't have to think too much about the type of ball. And in fact, it is impossible to figure out, and the only change balls he can use are two curveballs with different amplitudes and speeds.

In addition, the ball control is not precise enough when the ball is full of speed, so I can't do anything about the angle of the ball.

For Yamamoto, playing with Koyamada most of the time is enough to catch the ball. At most, it's just a matter of being on the lookout for what may be a more common pitcher than other pitchers.

……

The bottom half of the three innings after the offense and defense exchange. Peace Academy's new defensive strategy is off to a bad start.

Ichihei Fukushima had tried his best to keep the ball down, but Nobuo Koyamada, who was a fielder and skilled in batting, still managed to get the ball behind the second baseman. Li Yuanrang rushed up to fill the position and picked up the baseball from the ground as soon as possible.

In addition to the percussion practice this week, Li Yuanrang also did a little boccia defense training. Now it's finally coming in handy.

Koyamada didn't dare to rush forward and stopped on the first base. It was a hitter.

In college baseball, there is a huge difference in talent between players, and players like Oyamada have a first-class physical and athletic nerves. Both the pitching are outstanding among their peers. That's why many teams' ace pitchers also serve as center hitters.

The shooting duo of Fukushima and Yabe also understands this. So I didn't pay attention to the fact that I was knocked out of the hit.

And because Koyamada is not a speed player. He stood on the first base, which was actually a burden to Kazuya Takeda for the next base.

Kazuya Takeda, who is guarding gorgeously and is amazing, is actually the real weakness of the strike. Not only is the long-hitting ability average, but the batting average of an ordinary hitter is not excellent for a baseball pioneer at a famous baseball school.

Even so, among the hitter numbers that are not worth boasting about, there are about 30 percent or more of them being hits by the infield.

The top bases that make infield hits are not based on striking power, but more on running bases. If there is a runner on the base, also consider not letting the player on the base out.

Now the first base is occupied by Koyamada, who is not fast on the bases.

Takeda will either have to hit a sacrificial strike or go head-to-head with his opponent.

Kazuhei Fukushima made a choice for his opponent with his own pitch.

A low ball from the outside corner that looks like it's easy to hit. Kazuya Takeda couldn't help but make a move.

Roll the ball to the left side of the infield. It was easily picked up by the shortstop and passed to second base. Although he couldn't form a double kill due to Takeda's sprint speed, he still got a number of outs.

The new tactic of throwing to the opponent to fight is beginning to bear fruit. The next two hitters also failed to send Takeda back to home plate to score. Before it was the turn of the opponent's long-distance cannon fourth stick horse farm to hit the strike zone. The School of Peace ended this half-game.

The game continued at the respective rhythms of both teams. Neither team scored in the fourth game.

In the first half of the fifth game, after two outs, it was Li Yuan's turn to strike.

"I think you can try aiming at the curveball this time."

Before Lee Motorang came on the court, teammate Akio Yabe gave him advice.

In the last game, although Yabe did not hit the ball, he carefully observed the opponent's ball path in the strike zone.

"Are you sure he can pitch a curveball?"

Li Yuanrang's last blow, the opponent's balls were all straight balls. And then facing other beaters in the Peace School,It's basically a straight ball to decide the winner.。

"If it weren't for the special situation like last time, he would have shot, not necessarily a lot, not necessarily in the good ball area, but in fact, you can hit the bad ball that is not outrageous......"

In the previous game, Li Yuanrang never thought of shooting at a bad ball. But it's not uncommon for bad balls to hit hits in baseball.

Yabe's suggestion has his reason, but whether to adopt it or not, Li Yuanrang has not yet made a decision.

Li Yuanrang continued to let go of the inside corner fastball that he was not good at playing according to the strategy of the previous play. And still don't swing the bad ball.

Because even if he throws an inside corner, there is still a slight possibility of being hit by the opponent, and the opponent Harusuke Yamamoto also chose not to go head-to-head with Li Yuanrang.

Although the straight ball is still mainly in the inside corner, it is always on the edge of the good ball zone, and it does not seek to achieve a certain number of good shots. There are also a few variations that are thrown outside the good spot area.

Yamamoto still didn't know much about Lee, and he didn't know that this kind of slow-and-rush pitching would have no effect on Lee.

Dodge under the dodging ball. The number of balls quickly became one good and three bad, which was very beneficial for the hitter.

In the college baseball world, where there is no one on the base, it is very rude to deliberately escort it. But Yamamoto felt that as long as it wasn't intentional, it wouldn't be a big problem if the final pitch result was four bad shots.

The next player in the Peace Academy will be first baseman Masaoka, who is an easier opponent than Li Yuanrang in Yamamoto's eyes.

So the next fifth ball is a curveball that goes to the outside corner at a speed of less than 110 kilometers.

This is another magic weapon for pitcher Nobuo Koyamada to defeat the enemy.

Leave aside the aspect of the huge change. The 30 km difference in speed between the ball and the fast straight ball alone is enough to confuse the opponent after a quick burst of balls.

Of course, Li Yuanrang is not the kind of opponent who will be easily confused.

Based on the trajectory of the ball, he knew that the ball would go through about a third of the good ball area and eventually deflect off the low outside corner and become a bad ball.

If you swing the ball in advance of the base run, the ball will definitely be hit, but it is impossible to say whether it will form a hit.

So this time, Li Yuanrang decided not to make a move.

If you let the ball go out of the good zone, you'll get a four-bad ball guarantee. In this case, the odds of hitting the base are 100 percent.

Li Yuanrang stood on the first base and took off his striking gear. This time, it was the captain Ichihei Fukushima who ran out of the rest area to pick up the protective gear.

"If you swung the bat just now, it might have been a home run."

"But maybe it's just a high-flying ball from the outfield."

"That'...... Remember to run the bases with all your might. ”

Ichihei Fukushima took the protective gear, and before returning to the rest area, he explained a few words to Masaoka, who was going to hit the next baton.

First baseman Masaoka stood in the strike zone.

After two good shots, pitcher Koyamada's third ball was another curveball, which was swept to the back of the right fielder by Masaoka, who had been waiting for the curveball to appear.

Only then did Li Yuanrang understand the meaning of Fukushima's words. He got off first base, stepped on second base, bypassed third base, and then reached home plate almost at the same time as the return pass.

“Safe！”

The home plate referee spreads his arms. The score became 2-1. Harusuke Yamamoto, the catcher of Kai Soga, paid the price for his choice.

"This guy Masaoka actually hit from Yamada's hands."

From Nobuo Yamada to the present, this is the first hit that the Peace Academy has played from him. And it was also the first hit hit by first baseman Masaoka in front of Lee Wonrang. made Li Yuanrang a little impressed with him.

"Masaoka is playing on the left, and the opponent's curveball is not well controlled, and occasionally it falls into the best area......"

That's how the catcher Yabe explained. In my heart, I feel that this ball has a complete fluke component.

But in any case, the leading team is again the School of Peace.

Masaoka Masa, who scored the lead in the lead, stood on first base and raised his left arm to celebrate his hit. But looking at the stands, the audience looked indifferent. Most of them are fans of Kazuya Takeda, and today they are cheering for their opponent Kai Soga.

Masaoka looked for Junko Fujiwara in the crowd, but only saw Aki Suzuki, who had come with her, sitting alone in the stands.

Junko's agent, concerned about safety, escorted Masaoka off the court before she hit a hit.
