One hundred and thirty-eight kilometers. That's about the highest ball speed that Ichihei Fukushima throws in an official match.

But this kind of speed is not at all difficult to hit for this year's college super newcomer Fukumi Ochiai.

Ochiai didn't swing the bat at all because he wasn't prepared for his opponent to throw a straight ball in the middle.

As a private and powerful businessman, in addition to having more than 100 baseball members for supervision and selection. The data and intelligence analysis is also very detailed.

This year's Summer Nishi-Tokyo Games was held because of the introduction of webcasting. Almost every game has enough footage.

For the statistics of the opponent's pitch, the data analysis team of Zhide Shang refined to the extent that the twenty-five divisions are finer than the nine-square grid.

In other words, even the path outside the good ball area is counted.

Ichihei Fukushima had a first-class level of possession, a view that is also supported by technical statistics.

According to the 25-split statistics, more than 60 percent of all pitches in Fukushima are in the range of low outside and low inside corners. The probability of hitting the heart is less than one in 100.

In other words, you may not get a single goal in every game.

"This ball!?"

Before Ochiai left the strike zone, he asked Li Yuanrang in a questioning tone.

"For the sake of surprise, deliberately matched."

Of course, what Li Yuanrang said was not the truth. Although I tried my best to play this goal just now, judging by Fukushima's standards, it can be described as a ball of great power. But it's essentially a missed pitch.

The baseball was offset by one-third of the width of the home plate. It was a fluke that you didn't get hit by your opponent.

If your opponent has really studied Fukushima, you should know that it is difficult for Fukushima to maintain his daily ball control when he throws the ball at full strength.

However, if the other party didn't notice this, Li Yuanrang didn't plan to break it.

Ochiai puffed out of the strike zone. What he can't accept is his opponent's contempt for him.

Even if it's a surprise, it's always a provocation to throw a good shot in the face of a real strong hitter.

In the end, the strikeouts were out, and Ochiai couldn't say anything more. can only secretly resolve to save face in the later games.

Maybe it was because Ochiai was hit by a three-ball strikeout that hit the opponent's morale. The next four rods of gold and five rods of Yokoi to the German merchants also returned in vain.

In the second half of the fourth round, the time has come for another mystery to be revealed.

There was no change in the defensive position of the Tokusho, and pitcher Sakyo Katayama continued to pitch.

After a half-game mentality adjustment. Katayama may have calmed down.

The duel with Akio Yabe started with a good ball. The ball count quickly came to two good and two bad. Katayama seems to be showing signs of stabilization.

But on the next shot, Yabe hit a tricky outside corner behind the first baseman. Got on first base.

Katayama's slightly back on track pitching rhythm was disrupted again.

Face the six and seven batters of the Peace Academy. Katayama threw eleven shots. Eight of them were bad balls.

The result, of course, was two clearances.

Once again, the Peace Academy occupies a full base.

This time there is no reason for the opponent not to switch.

Shimazaki Haruna, who was originally wearing the No. 1 jersey that represents the ace, and has been waiting in the outfield today, stood on the pitcher's mound and began to try to warm up.

And Sakyo Katayama didn't mean to end up, he came to the outer field defense area. The two swapped guard positions.

"It seems that the other party's supervisor is still looking forward to Katayama's blow, and he refuses to change it."

During the other party's warm-up time, the runners of the Peace School Park ran back to the rest area to rehydrate.

Li Yuanrang took advantage of this gap to exchange his opinions with Yabe.

"After all, I also hit a safety touch just now, and it seems that this Katayama ball is fast and runs fast."

In fact, if you look purely at the type of hitter, Sakyo Katayama is the most suitable player to play the first bat.

He came on as a nine-batter in this game, in part to be physically secure when pitching as a pitcher.

Sakyo Katayama is making his debut in the official competition. But there have been a lot of red and white battles when the team is practicing.

The overseers of the Tokusho understood Katayama's strengths and weaknesses.

If the opponent scores on base, Katayama will generally be able to hold out until the fifth inning. And even if the opponent's blow is not played, relying on Katayama's own physical strength alone, he can only throw seven high-quality games.

This game to the German business did not let the well-rested Shimazaki spring and summer start,In fact, to a certain extent, it is a contempt for the Peace Academy.。

Although it is a dark horse that eliminated the seeded team. But judging from the public information, the Peace School is not a big hit for the championship.

There is also only one day of rest between the semi-finals and the semi-finals. The superintendent of Zhide Sho had originally intended to give Shimazaki enough rest and play again when he faced the "real" strong team later.

But now that the game is in the fourth game, he has to use the trump card in his hand.

"Remember you said that Shimasaki's pitching is the type to be thrown to the opponent to play?"

Li Yuanrang asked Yabe, who was still resting on the sidelines.

"Because even if you hit it, it's often a rolling earth with no mass. Moreover, in a strong school like German business, the infield garrison has been tempered thousands of times. It's easy to get outs. ”

"But now it's full base, and as long as the ball is hit, can't you lose points at any time?"

"A full base is an opportunity for the attacker, but a full base is also a full base trouble......"

With that, Yabe took a big sip of a sports drink. Ran back to the third base bag where he was on the field. The game is about to resume.

Now the blow of the Peace School is the turn of the eight baton left fielder Yamaba.

Kazuhei Fukushima got up from his seat in the rest area and shouted in the direction of the strike area, "I'll fight when I'm right."

！ ”。

He wasn't worried that Yamaha would strike out. In this situation, it is better to play a bad rolling earth than strikeouts.

Yamaba was almost holding his breath watching his opponent's pitch.

One hundred and ten kilometers of straight balls. It shouldn't be said to be a two-stitch speedball. He threw it in a position similar to that of a straight ball, and there was a subtle movement before hitting base.

Yamaha let the ball go. Then recreate the path of the ball in your head.

Although the trajectory is difficult to grasp, after all, the ball speed is not fast. He felt like he could hit the shot.

The second ball is still the way of this kind of fastball system. But the way it moves before the base is a little different.

Yamaba's bat was too late to adjust as the baseball moved.

The ball is hit to the front of the second baseman.

All the runners on the base were forced to start.

Yabe sprinted to home plate with all his might.

But his feet still can't match the speed of the ball.

And the catcher after receiving the baseball even has the energy to pass another base.

The situation on the field instantly became two outs.

As long as the ball is rolled after the base is full, all the runners on the field will face the situation of being forced to enter the base. It's a great opportunity for the defender to take the innings.
