Yamaguchi, the guerrilla of Kyocei High School, was almost the recommended admission quota obtained by the garrison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Offensively, Yamaguchi's biggest contribution to the team comes from his ability to push through the striking.

Li Yuanrang's ball distribution has been carried out as much as possible in accordance with the strategy of vigilance and touching.

But Yamaguchi easily spotted a high curveball into bounds, and the baseball stopped moving after a few rolls.

If you want to hit it safely, it's best to point the ball to the three-sided zone of the infield, or to the edge of the first and third basemen's zone to force them off the base.

But if it is simply a pursuit of sacrificing success, Yamaguchi's approach of slowing down the rebound of baseball is more controllable.

As an experienced striker. Yamaguchi will make a relieving action the moment the baseball touches the bat.

This requires very clever skill on the wrist. It also takes a long time to practice repeatedly.

By virtue of this technology. Now Iida, the batter who just got on safe base, has been sent to second base.

All it takes is one hit, and Kyocai High will be able to score first.

The batter who took on this task was Honma, the first baseman who hit on the left. He was able to get the qualification of being recommended for admission by a blow alone.

Honma, who was in middle school, didn't allocate even the slightest amount of time for garrison training.

If everything had gone according to plan, he would have been the team's immobile quadruple by this time.

But second-year super-rookie Kawanishi not only has a pressing power in pitching, but also easily snatches the title of four-time hitter in striking.

Honma can only "succumb" to three sticks now.

However, there is also a benefit to this kind of smoothing. At least now the opponent's pitchers are not too afraid to choose four bad ball escorts against Honma.

There are more opportunities to face off against opponents, and Honma's strike stats have accumulated more beautifully.

It's only spring, and now Honma's college career home runs have surpassed 40.

Considering that the western part of the world is located in the highly competitive East Tokyo area. The production of 40 home runs in college is enough to attract the attention of professional baseball and college scouts.

Before the start of the game, Lee Won was given the discretion to escort the opposing players by the Yagi supervisor.

But now there is no reason to protect the opponent in this situation.

Now it's just a one-way out. And Hexi, the fourth stick below, is obviously more difficult to deal with.

Honma is a big guy, even if you don't have to look closely.

This is even more noticeable if you crouch behind home plate and look from the bottom up.

The advantage that this kind of hitter is proud of is often the speed of swinging. If the ball with a slower change in ball speed falls into the good ball area, it will inevitably be hit head-on.

Li Yuanrang adopted a strategy based on straight balls.

The three balls on the edge of the good ball area are ambiguous in each position.

The number of balls came to two good and one bad.

Honma was clearly a cautious beater. There is not the bat to hit the middle high fishing ball rashly. However, another straight ball from the outside corner that was actually slightly out of the good zone was swung out of bounds by him.

"Was there an error in the judgment of the outside corner?"

Li Yuanrang wanted to test this hypothesis. So in the face of Honma's fourth goal, he was paired with an outside corner. And it's a ball of change.

The right pitcher faces the left-hand hitter and throws a slider that changes from the outside corner inward.

If the pitch is aimed at the inside corner, the entire trajectory of the baseball is in the good ball zone. Once you lose your vote, the consequences are unimaginable.

But if the target is in the outer corner, it's a different story.

Baseball is mostly played outside the hit-ball zone. If it goes well, you'll get into the good zone at the end. Even if you miss a pitch, it usually just turns into a bad ball in the outside corner.

Of course, Yabe's slider doesn't change that much. The feeling of this "drill" is not obvious.

Li Yuanrang just hopes to use the complexity of the changing ball in terms of speed and trajectory to make it more difficult for his opponent to judge.

Hitter Honma has a top-notch swing speed. It's just that this speed doesn't make up for his hesitation in judgment.

The judgment of the outside corner is indeed his weakness. He may not even be aware of this.

Whether or not to swing the ball is a decision that Honma made in the last tens of milliseconds.

The baseball was still drawn by the bat. It's just that the timing is a little less right.

Kojima, the third baseman of the Peace Academy, easily received this rolling ball in front of him, and passed the first base at the first time.

With Kojima's shoulder strength, it is not a problem to block hitter Honma when the pass reaches first base.

The problem is Iida, the runner on second base.

Iida has been keeping a close eye on the situation on the field.

The moment the third baseman passes to first base, he starts the race.

Wait for the first baseman to pass back to third base. Iida has successfully stepped on the base.

Fortunately, now that runners go to third base, it won't put more pressure on the Peace School.

The second outs are already in hand. Now it's just a matter of dealing with the beaters with peace of mind.

Or...... It's not impossible to deal with beaters without worry.

The really difficult hitters in Jingxi Gao's line are the first four batters.

The players in the back, including the fifth-bat catcher Daisuke Minami, almost all hit less than 20%.

Two of the starting nine have yet to hit a hitter at this year's Spring Conference.

This situation is the norm in public schools. There are only a few reliable cores in the team. Most of the players are just ordinary college students who like to play baseball.

Lee stood up from behind home plate.

"It's too early to send Jingyuan in the first game, right?"

Toru Kawanishi in the strike zone also looked at Li Yuanrang with a little doubt.

"No, I'm just adjusting the gear."

Li Yuanrang hopes to use this pause to give himself more time to think.

There is not much information about Toru Kawanishi's blow. There are not enough samples to analyze.

To observe this opponent, you have to rely on on-the-spot inspection.

It's just that in this first duel, Hexi didn't have much data left for Li Yuanrang to observe.

After a tentative bad ball. Li Yuanrang was equipped with an inside corner kick to observe the opponent's ability to adapt to the speedball.

Yabe's pitching was impeccable. Baseball hits the base in the good ball zone and completely avoids the sweet spot of the average hitter.

It's just for the strength of Hexi. This ball is not a hard time to play.

The baseball flew straight to the left field with a straight trajectory.

The distance between the two wings of the Kamiji Field is only 91 meters, and it doesn't take a lot of force to hit a home run.

Even if it doesn't fly out of the wall, the speed and angle of the ball will be extremely difficult for the outfielder to parry.

A white figure galloped around the left field.

Truth be told, the moment the baseball was hit, Ritoku Kawajiri, the left fielder at Peace Gakuen, was a little bit forward. He can now only make up for it with his own speed.

Luckily, speed is what he's most proud of.

Kawajiri jumped high in front of the baseball, and then crashed into the home run wall.

Li Yuanrang took off his mask. All the substitutes in the lounge stood up.

Kawajiri, who stood up from the lawn, raised his gloved left hand. The baseball was firmly grasped by him.

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
