As a catcher, Li Yuanrang doesn't actually like to match bad balls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At least he doesn't like to deliberately match bad balls.

But now his partner Yabe does not have a decisive ball that can suppress the opponent. When dealing with the opponent's four-batter Saito, he had to throw and dodge a little.

After using the inside corner kick to get a good number of balls, Li Yuanrang matched three outside corner kicks in a row.

The three balls were either deliberately thrown badly or the ball in the ambiguous zone failed to be tucked in.

All in all, from Li Yuan's point of view, these three goals are not within the range of the good ball zone.

The hitter, Saito, swung an empty stick at one of the outside corner sliders.

So the ball count is now two good and two bad.

This is a slightly favourable situation for the defending side.

In the fifth ball, Li Yuanrang played the code of the curved ball and asked for an inside corner.

Although it is not uncommon to completely match the ball on the outside corner of the baseball field, Li Yuanrang still feels that at this time, he will almost take advantage of the distance difference between the inside and outside corners to deceive the beater.

Yabe on the pitcher's mound shook his head.

He's not against inside corners, he's just not confident in his curveball.

Yabe's curved ball is much slower than a straight ball. At today's state, there is no guarantee that every ball will be thrown more than 100 kilometers.

Of course, the curveball is not a type of ball that relies on speed to win. Generally, the slow pitcher with the curve will have a sharper change and base angle.

But that's not the case with Yabe's curveball. It's really just the kind of simple variation that the average college pitcher can throw.

Li Yuanrang shook his head and then typed two more sets of codes.

The last two got a consensus that a straight ball would come.

As a right-handed thrower who is mostly only available with curveballs and slides, the only type of ball that can be confident in the inside corner is a straight ball.

Yabe himself knows that his ball speed in the inside corner is no threat to a strong hitter.

Although Li Yuanrang did not ask for it, this ball Yabe tried his best to do his best.

The ball speed was visually measured at more than 130 km/h.

But even then, it's not that frightening. And also paid the price of possession.

Because the control of the shot point is not precise enough when the force is generated, the ball is slightly pressed a little low.

In the case of an outside corner, the low pressure can sometimes inhibit the long play of the hitter.

But the inside corner is different. Especially for all-round hitters like Saito, they have their own way of dealing with low balls in the inside corner.

The baseball was scooped up from knee height and flew towards the left field. The trajectory of the high parabola is presented.

It took some time for the baseball to fly to the outfield, but it landed just in time for the outfielders to arrive.

The ball landed behind the shortstop and in front of the left fielder.

Saito had enough time to run to first base, and after bypassing the base pack, he was going to go to second base, but the return pass to second base was almost in place. Saito stepped back again.

At the beginning of the first half of the eighth inning, the Peace School let the opponent get on the base. Lee called a timeout and rushed to the pitcher's hill.

"There's no need to speed up the ball just now!"

Li Yuanrang didn't cover his lips with gloves, and said this directly to Yabe.

Just now, Li Yuanrang just played the code of a straight ball, and then the gloves were put in position. There is no requirement for ball speed.

"If you still use normal ball speed in this position, you will definitely be hit in this position."

This is Yabe's assertion.

"If I put myself in the position I want, I won't."

Lee put the glove in a position where he thought the hitter would be awkward, but the baseball failed to reach the intended target after Yabe threw the ball with all his might.

"So sure?"

"Probably......"

In fact, Li Yuanrang didn't have much confidence after saying the last sentence. In the previous games, the opponent had already hit a lot of hits, and the score was also lost by two points.

What's more, Li Yuan let his hitting weakness lie in the inside corner, and to some extent, he doesn't have much knowledge of how other hitters deal with inside corners.

"Actually, it's not that different, with a metal bat."

A voice came from the side. Yabe and Lee Wonrang turned their heads together, and it was substitute player Ibaraki who spoke.

"This was said by the overseer, and he asked me to pass it on."

Lee's ball-playing skills are partly taught by Yabe, but most of them are based on video footage of professional baseball games.

There are two problems with this.

First of all, professional baseball pitchers are a lot higher than amateur pitchers in terms of ball speed and ball control. And there are many kinds of balls. Therefore, there are more tools that can be used when the catchers of professional baseball play.

On the other hand, professional baseball uses wooden bats. The way the hitter hits the ball is also completely different.

In particular, this is the certainty of the play.

Professional baseball's matchings often trick the batter into swinging the bat, so that the baseball is barely hit by the bat to get the hit.

This strategy may not work entirely in amateur games where metal bats are used.

To tell the truth, the hit that Saito hit just now, if it was a wooden stick, there is a good chance that it would be a weak roll out of bounds or in the infield. There is even the possibility of broken rods.

But using the characteristics of the metal bat, the baseball is fished out of the field and lands to form hits.

If Yabe's pitch really goes in according to the goal given by Lee Wonrang, the result will not be much different. As long as it is not aerodynamic, a baseball hit by a metal bat will always be more threatening than a wooden bat.

This is the meaning of the words passed on by the overseer of Yagi.

There is not much point in dwelling on the gains and losses of this goal. Sticking together to keep the game going is all about that.

Of course, the Yagi supervisor was not very satisfied with the performance of the above ball.

But this kind of problem can't be solved in the middle of the current game.

"The overseer also said, pay attention to the fight and run."

Ibaraki whispered this before returning to the rest area, covering his mouth.

"Shouldn't we pay attention to sacrifice and fight?"

Hayata's strange line arrangement put a player who was biased towards the second batter in the fifth position.

The outfielder has good power and is also a good striker.

Now it seems more likely that the strike tactics will be launched.

"Anyway, the overseer said be careful to run away."

Ibaraki ignored Li Yuanrang's words, and he repeated the superintendent's instructions and ran back to the rest area.

The match continued, and Ariga in fifth walked into the strike zone.

As soon as he came up, he put up a posture to strike.

Li Yuanrang glanced in the direction of first base, and the distance between Saito, who had just been on base, and the distance from the base bag was not suspicious.

No matter how you look at the opponent, it looks like you are going to hit and sacrifice.

"Anyway, let's follow the overseer's instructions first."

Li Yuanrang thought so in his heart and typed a code.

Yabe on the pitcher's mound throws a containment ball toward first base.

Saito didn't need to pounce, he just moved his feet and returned to the base.

There is no feeling at all that you will start early.
