Chapter 258: Active Guarding
After two outs, Komeito University's second batter Shirahama did not have much room for manoeuvre. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He has to go head-to-head with the pitcher.
The runner is on second base with a lap. A hit is a score, and an outgame is the end of the offense. It's that simple.
Peace School today's first left-cast handmade rattan is a first-year newcomer.
Whether it's ball speed or pitching skills, it's enough to be used in a college level game.
What he lacks is tournament experience and the ability to withstand pressure.
To get a special enrollment quota for the Peace Academy, Kudo certainly won't be an idle person.
When I was in junior high school, I also reached the finals of the Kyushu region several times.
But it's not the same now. This is the final of the Nishi-Tokyo Games. The winning team can enter Koshien.
And at least Kudo himself feels that the burden of the team's victory and defeat is on his shoulders.
After a good shot, Kudo threw two bad balls in quick succession.
This is not a catcher's ball-matching strategy.
At least the second bad ball was clearly not thrown into the position that the catcher wanted.
Li Yuanrang called a timeout at this time.
"Is it uncomfortable to have a runner behind you?"
There are quite a few pitchers who play abnormally when there is a person on second base.
Because the runner on second base happens to be behind the pitcher. This can make some players feel insecure.
"I don't know myself, I just can't get in."
In actual combat, the situation of "just not being able to throw in" will suddenly appear at unexpected times.
A lot of times it's not about technology, it's purely psychological.
Fear that the ball won't go into the good zone, that the ball will hit the opponent, or more often than not, that the ball will be hit by the opponent.
"Don't worry too much, there's line support anyway."
Li Yuan let himself have no experience in pitching. In this case, he can comfort his teammates in addition to words. The only thing that can be done is to reduce the pressure on the pitcher on the ball.
The next two balls were played in the outside corner. It's actually a bit negative.
Luckily, his opponent Shirahama is not a strong hitter, as a sophomore who has just achieved the main position. Shirahama's striking mentality seemed a little impatient.
When he sees an ambiguous outside corner kick that the referee has ruled good. I couldn't help but swing the bat at another outrageous change ball.
The half-inning was finally ended before the opposing home run-runner came on.
The pitcher, who survived the small crisis, stabilized in the next game. In the first half of the fourth game, the opponent's three, four, and five sticks were three up and three down.
"The center hitter is playing on the left three times in a row, isn't it a little too risky?"
The head of the Peace Academy, Yabe, sat in the rest area for this game. Whether it's as a pitcher or a catcher, look at the opponent. The ideal line should be a "zigzag" line that alternates left and right.
And the current Gongming Gao is obviously influenced by the trend of turning to the left after these years. From the start, there was only such a bunch of right-to-left players to choose from.
From this point of view, Kurihara, the first stick of Komeitaka is even more special.
This Kurihara was not born in Komeito Middle School.
"I chose Komeigao just because it was close to home...... Is it? ”
In the gap between offense and defense, the Komeigao infield defense briefly warmed up for passing and receiving the ball.
And the Yagi supervisor in the rest area was holding the information booklet in his hand, and he happened to turn to Kurihara's page.
It's not just a strong attack when attacking. As a guerrilla, he is also an iron gate of the inner field defense.
It is different from the unpretentious and steady defensive style of most of the players of Komeiko.
Kurihara, who is quite flexible and flexible, also appears to be more proactive when defending.
As a shortstop, the zone covers most of the area between second and third base. It is more able to cover the gap between the left fielder and the stalwart.
This is not a good thing for the Peace Academy, where more than half of the beaters are right-hitters.
Most of the hitters on the right side of the pitch are on the left half of the pitch. Pitcher Kanzaki didn't get many strikeouts today. A lot of the outs are won by relying on the defensive line behind them.
With such a line of defense blocked, Li Yuanrang's line support promised to cast the hand vine did not appear for a long time.
In the bottom half of the fourth inning, he stepped into the strike zone for the second time.
In addition to the first bad ball as a cover, this time he was greeted by one inside corner after another.
As a Komeito high baseball club good at teamwork. Of course, their intelligence analysis team will not be easily confused by Li Yuanrang's whitewashed strike data and fall into the trap of deliberately exaggerated inadequacy at inside corners.
However, after some analysis, the opponent finally came to the conclusion that he wanted to attack the inside corner.
This conclusion is based on another reason.
Compared with other teammates, Li Yuanrang's blow is actually much more "wide-angle".
However, when Lee hits an inside corner, the chance of the baseball landing on the left half of the court is greatly increased.
The first blow, pitcher Kanzaki took advantage of this and has successfully won the Van hit.
But this strategy won't work every time.
Despite missing two inside corners that weren't easy to play. When the third good ball appeared, Li Yuanrang always had to swing the bat.
Li Yuanrang is completely different now than he was a year ago.
In addition to eyesight and reflex nerves. After a year of training, the body's muscular strength is also greatly enhanced.
The reaction to swinging the baton means that the baseball will fly faster after being hit.
The angle at which the ball flies is not tricky. However, the height is just above the defender's head.
Normally, baseball would go over the infield defense and land on the outfield to become hits.
Li Yuanrang swung his bat and rushed towards first base regardless of it.
From the point of view of the goal, once the inside defence is broken, the ball will land between the two outfielders.
Then it is not surprising that a second home run is formed.
Lee Wonrang's way of running the bases was intended to go to second base from the beginning.
However, when approaching first base, the teammate in charge of running the base made a gesture to stop at first base.
Li Yuanrang stepped on the base bag and went to the base safely.
Turning around, the shortstop Kurihara was about to pass with a baseball in his hand.
"What just happened? Blunder? ”
Li Yuanrang asked about the situation while handing over the protective gear to his teammates.
The display already shows the message of the opponent's mistake.
Li Yuanrang never thought that his first time in this game was to rely on the opponent's mistakes. And the player who made the mistake this time was the core of the opponent's infield defense, the shortstop Kurihara.
With this ball just now, Kurihara jumped high. Stopped a baseball flying at high speed with his gloves.
It's just that I don't know if Li Yuanrang's hitting force is too strong or Kurihara misses it for a while. The baseball eventually fell out of the glove.
"No wonder statistically, this Kurihara has so many mistakes."
Yabe in the rest area flipped through the data sheet.
Kurihara's netting stats look extremely out of proportion to his defensive skills.
And according to the current situation. The shortstop turnovers aren't because of his rough defensive skills. It's because of the positive attitude of the guard.
After all, if it were an average shortstop, the shot just now would only be a hitter on the record. And not a single mistake.
