Chapter 193: Angle of Flight

In the first half of the third inning, the Peace School was hit by the opponent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After two outs, Hayata's first batter, Enomoto, made it to base.

Thankfully, the hit came after two outs.

Pitcher Yabe tackled a hitter behind him with a strikeout. Blocked the opponent's attack.

In the first half of the fourth inning, Yabe was hit by two disjointed hits, but it didn't allow his opponent to continue to extend his lead.

As for the side of the Peace Academy, the counterattack began in the second half of the fourth inning. That is, after the hitters on the court entered the second round of strikes.

Akio Yabe, the first player to play, went to base with a little luck.

He was going to use the guessing method to deal with the opponent's pitch.

However, the fourth goal after two good and one bad actually waited for the opponent's missed shot.

A slippery ball fails to produce enough change and falls into the so-called sweet spot.

The hitter Yabe did not miss this opportunity.

Swung the bat lightly and made a first-run hit.

The next Tokuda ball also hit the baseball with his adaptation to pitching from the pitcher.

The ball hit the shortstop in the direction.

Hayata's shortstop Ishiwatari chose to pass to second base and blocked Yabe who ran there.

But by the time he passed the first base, Tokuda himself had already stepped on the base pack.

Peace School traded one outs for runners on first base.

This is clearly a good deal.

Tokuda, who is a runner, is much faster than Yabe.

Naturally, you can also put more pressure on your opponent on base.

And next, it was the turn of the four-time beater, Li Yuanrang.

"What do you have to explain?"

Li Yuanrang didn't wait in the strike preparation area just now, he got up from his seat in the rest area, and asked the above sentence again when he passed by Yagi Superintendent.

"Nothing special. If you have to say one thing, don't hit the infield and roll the earth. But even if I say it, it's not something you can control. ”

At the current speed of Tokuda, even though the runner is not in the lap. But Lee Wonrang only needed a normal first-base hit to get the score back.

So there is no need to add too much pressure to the hitter.

And there is only one worst result, and that is the double kill created by the inner field rolling earth.

However, Inspector Yagi also understands that Li Yuanrang's striking strength so far is more dependent on talent.

From the summer to the present, the improvement of striking power is mainly the improvement of swing fluency and arm waist and abdominal strength.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in the accuracy of the rod control.

But these are not problems that can be overcome and solved right now.

And through the last few games, Li Yuan has made himself understand a little.

More than half of the credit for his striking results, which look beautiful on paper, goes to the metal bat.

Li Yuanrang's eyesight is indeed beyond ordinary people, and so is the reflex nerve.

But his swinging skills are nowhere near the level of other strong fighters of his age.

A large number of hits and even home runs are achieved by relying on the metal bat's characteristics that require less precision in hitting the ball.

If I had to say anything about the control of the bat, it would be just a little.

The timing and angle of the shot seem to have an effect on the direction in which the baseball flies.

If you follow the ball all the way to the end, the baseball will have a higher chance of hitting the right field, and if you swing the bat aggressively in advance, the baseball will be more likely to fly to the left field.

And Li Yuanrang's hitting has this characteristic, which is precisely a manifestation of his lack of bat-control ability.

In other words, as a hitter, Li Yuanrang's pulling and pushing are passive, not based on his own choices, but based on the characteristics of the opponent's pitching.

And the characteristics of Hayata's pitcher's pitcher Komuro pitching are also obvious.

Against right-hand players, he likes to use a sideways slider to attack the inside corner of the hitter.

The horizontal pitcher who throws the ball with the right hand is very hidden from the right.

It is easier for the batter to observe the ball path when the baseball is close to home plate, so the reaction time will be greatly reduced.

This move has had good results in the previous rounds.

But the missed shot just now in front of Yabe made Komuro cautious about his slide.

On the first ball, the catcher Oya made a slippery ball, and Komuro shook his head.

So the ball turned into a straight ball with a high inside corner.

It seems to be a dismount for the beater.

But for Li Yuanrang, who was accurate in ball selection, the opponent just wasted a bad ball meaninglessly.

On the second ball, the catcher made a slippery ball again. And the pitcher shook his head again.

Big, who was crouching behind home plate, was a little upset and stood up to take off his catcher mask.

But after calming down for a while, he squatted down.

The code remains the same, it's still a slider.

The pitcher had no choice but to nod.

As a first-year newcomer, Komuro shook his head once in the face of the senior catcher was nothing. But after shaking his head, the catcher insisted on his opinion, and as a junior, he could only obey the catcher's instructions.

Refusing to throw a slider comes down to the fear of missing a shot.

Regardless of whether it is an inside corner or an outside corner, the result of missing a shot is unacceptable.

A missed inside corner may result in a touch.

Let's not talk about the issue of escorting opponents.

As a sportsmanlike college player, most pitchers don't want to hurt the opposing hitter.

Many pitchers develop a phobia of the inside corner after they lose a shot and have a touch of the ball. Even more stress than the heart of the beater who was hit.

As for the outside corner, once you miss the shot, the impact on the game is also huge.

The slider that Akio Yabe bit just now was the result of aiming at the outside corner and missing the shot.

The baseball will turn into a slow stall straight ball and fall into the center of the good ball area. That is, the most comfortable position for the hitter.

The pitcher's mound reached into his glove with his right hand and carefully checked his position with the ball.

Half of the missed shots come from inadequate pitch preparation. There is a problem holding the ball or other parts of the fingers.

After calming down a bit, Komuro began to pitch the ball.

At this time, Tokuda Ball on first base suddenly started.

Baseball came from the pitcher's mound. It's not a missed pitch, it's a quality slide from a cross-pitcher with lateral impact.

Because it is aimed at using a semi-open play, and this goal is not an inside corner kick in the first place. For Li Yuanrang, this slider is not "coming from behind". But the trajectory is already sharp.

Against the average hitter, such a ball may be considered powerful enough.

But Li Yuanrang is different. Lee Wonrang will not be easily confused by the trajectory of the change ball.

He could see that the ball was too far into the outside corner and was a bad one.

As a beater, you could have had to swing your bat in this situation.

But Tokuda's early start made Lee feel the need to cover his teammate.

This was not a premeditated play-and-run tactic.

However, Li Yuanrang's bat still touched baseball.

This isn't the first time he's chased a bad ball into the outside corner.

Li Yuanrang deliberately advanced the timing of swinging the stick slightly.

Although it is not a "pull". But the angle of the baseball's flight is still affected by this subtle control.

At least everyone in the room could see that it wasn't going to be a throw-in.
