"This Kuwabara is supposed to be just a pitcher who burns down innings, and if he gets on base or drops points, he will be replaced......"

In the rest area, Yabe flexed his glasses and carefully studied the statistics of his opponent's previous rounds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"But it looks like this Kuwabara is a lot better than last year's level."

Although it is not decided yet. But Li Yuanrang noticed that Tokuda Kuwabara, the first fighter in the Peace Academy, still had an advantage.

And Tokuda is the top player in the Peace School line.

"The team has a new supervisor. A new lineup is definitely needed. ”

Before the congress last autumn, Fuso No. 3 had a new superintendent.

Since then, Kuwabara, who was originally scheduled to be the next generation of ACE, has been put on the bench.

The new overseer is the trump card candidate he prefers.

This year's second-year pitcher, Tetori, once threw 152 kilometers in an unofficial speed measurement environment.

Although the local qualifiers for the summer conference every year will produce several pitchers who have a ball speed of more than 150 kilometers.

But as a second-year student, this speed is still particularly impressive.

What's more, the level of hand-taken blows is also one of the best in the interior.

In today's game, Tetori didn't start as a pitcher, he was third on the line and the first baseman at the guard position.

After two good and two bad, Tokuda shot a high ball from the outside corner.

The baseball flies in a straight trajectory toward the right half of the field.

The man on first base jumped up lightly with his big hand. Confiscate the baseball directly in the glove.

Tokuda was picked up and knocked out.

The next second bat, Masaoka, was only stuck to the fourth ball and was struck out.

"I'll go to the strike preparation area and take a look."

Li Yuanrang put on a striking helmet and walked out of the rest area.

Based on the current situation, maybe he may not have a chance to play in this half game.

However, from the strike preparation area in the direction of the pitcher's mound, the distance is closer, and the angle is corrected. It will definitely help for the later games.

The third stick of the Peace School is a newcomer to the first grade this year. Relying on the bat in his hand not only occupies the main position. Now he is ranked third in the clearance group.

And his opponent Kuwabara is in the third year after all. Facing his second-year catcher partner, he has the confidence to shake his head.

Kuwabara shook his head twice on the pitcher's mound. I waited until I wanted the ball.

Kojima swung the slider hard, and the baseball took to the air.

The opponent's stalwart waited early for the ball to land. Catch the kill out.

"Seems like it only took ten balls? Is this Kuwabara really not a trump card? ”

Lee Wonrang was wearing catcher gear while discussing his opponent's pitch with his teammates.

This year's third-place Fuso team is almost all freshmen in the first and second grades.

Although both media evaluations and discussions among non-governmental baseball fans believe that this is because the level of newcomers exceeds that of third-year students.

But Li Yuanrang felt that what Yabe had just said made sense. This is a deliberate change of blood by the new overseer.

Almost all of the third-year students in the opponent's lineup are members of the Second Army who did not have a number last year.

The only exception is this Kuwabara on the field.

As the ace successor cultivated by the previous overseer, Kuwabara was not sent to the Second Army like the other former main forces after the change of superintendent. Instead, he kept his back number.

This year, Fuso was third to adopt the pitcher's wheel tactic.

Normally, three second-year pitchers and a first-year rookie are selected from each of the four to finish the game with three innings each.

Kuwabara is usually put on the bench for most of the game, and is not even part of the rotation of these pitchers.

However, Li Yuanrang also noticed other information in the statistics.

Kuwabara, as a substitute pitcher, was always pushed to the pitcher's mound when the team was in crisis. And judging by the results, at least in the games ahead of this summer's conference, he has always been able to get the job done in such situations.

Li Yuanrang vaguely felt that this Kuwabara might be a chess piece that the superintendent didn't want to reuse, but had to use.

But now is not the time to think about these questions. The game was exchanged between offense and defense, and it was Fuso's turn to attack third.

Ohara, the new superintendent of Fuso No. 3, did not hate the former superintendent. It's just that he hopes that he can establish absolute prestige in the team.

In college baseball, many overseers serve for as long as a decade or two.

Overseer Ohara's consideration is not just for the immediate year or two.

If it were possible, he would probably choose to make up the team entirely with second- and first-year newcomers.

However, due to the lack of suitable candidates for some positions, they still have to select from third-year students.

Fuso's third-place leader was one of three third-year students in the team's lineup.

Outfielder Kobayashi was just a member of the Second Army who cheered for his teammates in the stands last summer.

This year, he was directly promoted as the team's pioneer.

In addition to his own efforts and strength, the fact that he has little intersection with his predecessor is also an important factor.

Yabu, who started in successive games, did not show fatigue.

In order to reduce the physical wear and tear of the pitcher, Li Yuanrang now alternates the ball with straight balls and two-seam speedballs.

The first ball was thrown at a speed of 138 km/h.

The second ball is one hundred and thirty-seven.

The next third ball, one hundred and forty kilometers.

In the semifinals of the summer tournament, the pitcher's ball speed is displayed on the display at Jingu Stadium.

This means that Yabe's ball speed record in official matches has exceeded the 140 mark.

However, 140 kilometers against Yabe himself is a breakthrough. It's not uncommon for good hitters in colleges and universities.

Although it is a bit difficult to deal with the two-stitch speedball. The beater Kobayashi still hit a strong three-way rolling earth.

Kobayashi was ranked first and deservedly had one of the fastest bases in the team.

He confidently marched to first base.

And the baseball passed into the first baseman's glove just a step in front of him.

The person who passed the ball was not Tokuda, a shortstop of the Peace Academy. It's the third baseman Kojima.

As a third baseman, Kojima's defensive range is much larger than that of Kawasaki before him.

What's more, his strong shoulders buy more time for passing.

Of course, Kobayashi was out for his own reasons.

The ball was played quite solidly, and the baseball moved extremely fast on the artificial turf of Jingu Stadium.

This also buys the defender a few hundred milliseconds.

These three factors came together to contribute to this outing.

Before the next hitter came on the pitch, Lee called a timeout and ran up the pitcher's hill.

"You probably didn't see it from your side just now. One hundred and forty kilometers. ”

"Haven't you voted for it before?"

"Before, it was all speed measurement in the stands, but this is the record of the official game."

"I'm going to say my goal is to throw 150 kilometers in the third grade, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

"yes, I don't believe it myself."
