Although the name suggests, the Hayata Business School High School seems to have a strong connection with the famous Hayata University. But at the beginning of their establishment www.biquge.info the only thing that the two schools had in common was that the founders were the same people.

For a long time after the school was founded, the two sides were not affiliated with each other.

Now this "lineage" relationship was established in the sixties of the twentieth century.

In fact, the number of students who enter Hayata University each year under various names is not very large.

The share allocated to the baseball club is even smaller.

Because of this, only when the team achieves good results, the players can get more opportunities to enter Hayata University, a prestigious private university.

For the Hayatasho baseball club, the standard of achieving "good grades" is higher than that of other schools.

Since the inception of the National Conference on College Baseball in Japan, Hayata has participated in nearly 50 of the more than 100 conferences.

It can be said that as long as you can get the back number in the baseball club, there will always be a chance for the university to enter Koshien once in three years.

Being eliminated early this summer is really a gutter overturn.

And the fact that the Peace School was able to win the West Tokyo Conference in the end was also related to Hayata's early exit.

But now, at the Autumn Conference, the Peace Academy has to meet this opponent.

Li Yuanrang studied the information collected by the baseball club.

Among the top private baseball schools in the Nishitokyo area. Hayata Sho has always had a tradition of promoting new people.

As long as the strength is sufficient, it is not new to play the main force from the first year.

Now in the autumn season, many other teams are facing the problem of running in the lineup. As for Hayata, more than half of their starting lineup was made up of players who had played at the summer conference.

The only outright newcomer is Tetsuya Komuro, who is a pitcher.

"Hayata's ace isn't wearing No. 1?"

When Li Yuanrang read the information, he found that the starting pitchers in the previous games were all in the small room wearing the No. 11 jersey.

"Miyamoto, who is number one, is a second-year student, but he usually only appears when the score is very different."

Miyamoto, who is responsible for consuming meaningless innings, is older, but he has to sit on the bench.

In this case, handing over the number one symbolizing the ace to him as compensation has been a common practice in college football in recent years.

And the number eleven has become a favorite number for various "real trump cards" or "hidden trump cards" because of its popularity in the professional baseball field.

Even Yabe, the chief general of the Peace Academy, himself chose the eleventh.

"There are only one hundred and sixty or eight in this small room."

Li Yuanrang only remembered after saying these words, and Yabe, who was sitting opposite him and reading the information together, was "only" 167 tall.

"But 168 can throw a 138-kilometer straight ball."

Yabe's own ball speed, even with all his strength, was just over 130 kilometers. Although the opponent Komuro in the next game is not fast, the straight ball is basically more than 135 kilometers.

The pitching stance of the horizontal shot can make the angle at which the ball goes into the base more tricky.

"If you throw sideways...... Do you want to discuss it with Tokuda, and the next game will be changed to the left. ”

Lee Wonrang is no longer a baseball layman. He knew that there was a weakness for cross-shot and hook-and-hook pitchers. They are more likely to be spotted by the hitter when they are playing in the opposite direction of their throw.

However, the main lineup of the Peace School is almost all right-handed. It is certainly not advantageous to deal with the small room that is also a right-hand thrower.

In this case, having Tokuda, who has the potential to do two dozens, stand in the strike zone of the left-hand hitter, may also be considered a countermeasure.

But this opinion was quickly dismissed by the team's supervisor, Yagi.

Tokuda's left-hand strength is far worse than right-handed. And those advantages of switching to a left-hand play are far from enough to make up for that gap.

"Even if you switch to the left, the chances of winning won't be greater."

This was the judgment of the Overseer Yagi.

Hayata Sho's pitcher cubo became a real trump card though it was pushed to pitcher mound this fall.

But for their oversight, the move was less an affirmation of Komuro's strength than an early investment in next summer's Nishitokyo primaries.

In recent years, Hayata has been plagued by the problem of not having a good pitcher.

They have a strong line that is not lost to any team in the country. However, there has always been only the trump card of the average degree of colleges and universities.

Including Miyamoto, who is now wearing the No. 1 jersey and entered the squad to get the back number at the summer conference. It's just a left-handed shot who can shoot 130 kilometers of speed.

And if you want to gain a foothold on the national stage, you can only pin your hopes on Komuro, a first-year student with more talent.

But this newcomer is not finished after all. The first few games in the autumn conference, although they were all big score leads, ended early. But even against the fish belly troops, they did not reach the end of the seal.

Looking at the data on paper alone, Li Yuanrang is confident that he can score points from the opponent's pitcher.

And as for the end of the seal,There have been a few more arrows on the side of the Peace Academy.。

Especially in the last game, I experienced several thrilling outfield flyballs.

If it weren't for the size of the pitch, I might have hit a home run.

And in the end, he didn't lose a point.

Together with Li Yuanrang, who was in charge of the ball, he felt a little incredible.

But whether it is Li Yuanrang, Yabe himself, or the team's supervisor Yagi.

Everyone knows that in the face of Hayata's level of play. It's almost impossible to expect Yabe to continue to suppress his opponents.

There is a good chance that the next game will turn into a strike fight.

Li Yuanrang now has to shoulder the responsibility of both at the same time.

On the offensive side, as a four-batter, you have to score at crucial moments.

As a catcher on defense, he is responsible for guiding the team's pitchers to play and try to keep the points conceded as low as possible.

With the current squad of the Peace Academy, this is no easy feat.

"Otherwise, let's let Tokuda start in the next game."

Defensively, Li Yuanrang can only find a way to deal with Tokuda.

Several of Lee's pitcher partners have their own weaknesses.

Yabe's strength is not enough to suppress the average university-level strong fight. But Yabe has basic ball control and tactical execution. This is a good guide and communication partner for the catcher.

And although Tokuda Qiuer has good physical fitness, he has more potential. But his possession problem is still unresolved.

Lee Wonrang always had a sense of luck when he played with Tokuda.

But Tokuda has ball speed and ball power after all. Even if it's a stroke of luck, the result is more trustworthy than Akio Yabe, who guides him with his heart.

The suggestion Lee is now making is to push Tokuda to the starting pitcher mound in this crucial game.

Start with a fast ball against the opponent's hitter. When the opponent is a little more comfortable, he will switch to the pitch and use the slower ball speed to confuse the player.

Tokuda can then appear again if necessary......

This tactic seems to be taken for granted. But it's really not uncommon in amateur competitions.

However, Superintendent Yagi resolutely rejected this suggestion.

"A team of Hayata's level can win just by the speed of the ball."

What's more, in terms of ball speed alone, Tokuda does not have absolute suppressive power.
