Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rong Chun's Straight Ball

"Koichiro Tanba, Toru Masuko, and Akira Tsuya joined the First Army, and the above five joined the First Army, and the above five joined the Second Army."

On the second day after the training match, Superintendent Kataoka announced the list of promotions, and Rong Chun was a little disappointed to hear that he had not been promoted to the first army, but this only showed that his strength was not enough.

"Although I knew it that day, why did that person enter the first army like this, he just threw a ball."

"I think so, I can see anything with only one goal."

"It's probably a possibility, but Supervisor Kataoka sees a lot more than us players. The ball speed of Xiaoya has reached about 150 in the first grade, and now there are a few in the high school baseball class that can do it, and Xiaogu is special not only in the ball speed, right, hang. ”

"Well, that's right, the ball speed is very fast, the ball is very heavy, and when it is thrown, it is terrifying, a feeling that cannot be described."

“......”

"But, I'm still not convinced, let's forget it, Sawamura, you're obviously very strong, why didn't you go to the first army."

As teammates who train together, they know Rong Chun's strength best, both pitching and defending are very good, although they are a little weaker in hitting, but Rong Chun, who is not weak in speed, can also rely on short hits to get on base, compared to the valley that does not know the bottom line, they trust themselves more and feel the strong Rong Chun.

"Hahaha, probably not enough strength, although unwilling, but there is no way. However, if you perform well in the next training and practice matches, it is not impossible to enter the first army. ”

Although the promotion list caused a commotion among the freshmen, under Rong Chun's comfort and persuasion, everyone still focused on their training. If there is any benefit in the Second Army, it is to form a casting with Chris's predecessors. Ever since he knew that Chris was in charge of himself, Rong Chun was in a happy state, and it seemed that there were little flowers blooming around him.

After being tested by Chris's seniors, Chris felt that Rong Chun could focus on throwing and physical fitness as an aid to train. In terms of physical strength, Rong Chun is the first freshman, and he is on par with his predecessors. Coupled with the natural soft body, he is more resilient than everyone else, and his tolerance is higher, but in terms of training, Rong Chun needs a little rest, and the test results show that Rong Chun's fatigue is very high, probably because he has trained a lot more than others, so he specially asked a few people who often train with Rong Chun to remind him.

"Seniors, do you have time to play my pitch later?"

Senior Nakata and the others looked at Rong Chun who suddenly appeared, and were a little puzzled,

"Yes, yes, haven't you always been with a year-old?"

"Chris seniors said that you can reduce physical training appropriately and pay more attention to shooting, Koharu they are still exercising their physical fitness, and I want to experience more beaters to improve their pitching."

"No problem, but if we don't have a good time, we won't let you go."

The senior of the third grade said gloomily, he didn't forget that Rong Chun lied to him in the red and white competition to make a big shot, but it turned out to be a short fight.

Looking at the ill-intentioned seniors in front of him, Rong Chun wanted to escape for a moment, but thinking that these seniors couldn't be more evil than that bad glasses, and it hurt more than the Kuramochi seniors to beat people, he wasn't worried at all.

"Then senior, I'll put on the equipment, you wait for me a little, and I'll come right away."

Rong Chun ran away in a hurry, leaving a few seniors waiting there, and put the net in place by the way while waiting.

"In the red and white game, except for Chris and Masuko who really hit Sawamura's pitch, everyone else doesn't seem to have gained much, and this time we must see what magic there is about him."

"Well, although I heard that his pitching was a quirk ball, the few balls I hit were all straight balls, and I didn't see any changes."

"Me too."

"Senpai, I'm back, let's start."

Rong Chun put on a helmet, did a good job of protection, and moved his shoulders a little,

"I'm going to shoot, senior, this round is all inside corner straight balls."

"Oh oh, come on."

The others who were standing on the sidelines and waving their sticks were also distracted by the situation over there.

"Woo ....."

"Woo ....."

"Woo ....."

"Damn, why can't you fight it?" Ohmae senpai knocked his head with a bat and complained.

"Get out of the way, Ohmae, it's my turn."

"Bang ....."

"Woo ....."

"Bang ....." Nakata was a little stunned when he looked at his empty hand twice, what was wrong.

Then Rong Chun solved the three seniors and opened a new round under their incredulous gaze. In the end, after three rounds of training, the seniors felt that what they were training today was not Rong Chun's pitching, but their blows.

"Hey, Sawamura, what's the matter with your pitch, I've never felt that a straight ball from the inside corner was so hard to hit." Finally, the former seniors couldn't help but ask Rong Chun the reason, he was also good at playing inside corners in the second army, but after three rounds, he really hit only one, and the landing point was very delicate, if it was the kind of garrison of the first army, it would be properly killed.

"Well, my inside straight ball isn't one."

"Huh?" The seniors are a little puzzled, what is not one.

"Probably not one, right?"

"Whew, when did you guys come?" was suddenly taken out of thin by the big forward of the jump.

"It's been a while, and Sawamura throws a straight ball from the inside corner, but there are three kinds of balls, right?"

Although Ryosuke's predecessor is a questioning sentence, his tone is particularly affirmative. Looking at Ryosuke's senior, who discovered his secret after only three rounds of throwing, Rong Chun couldn't help but admire.

"That's right, it's three, and in order to confuse the feelings of the seniors, I deliberately narrowed the changes so that the seniors couldn't play the infield."

"Fake, right?"

"One is an ordinary straight ball, which will have a certain amount of deceleration, and another is a fast ball, which basically does not slow down from the beginning of the pitch to the time of entering the glove, and there is a slow straight ball, which will slow down when approaching home plate with a little bit of falling change, but because the control is better, the change is not obvious, but it can make the feelings of the predecessors produce errors. I'll only use two similar ways for a senior, so that the seniors are not so easy to find, and they can also give the next senior the wrong information, hehe. ”

Rong Chun smiled a little naughty, he said it very easily, but the seniors seemed to be listening to a supernatural event, and their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost, could Zhiqiu still play like this?

"That's amazing, Sawamura, can I also take a look?"

"Hey, Ernie sauce are you going to fight? Yes, the more hitters I have, the better I can improve. ”

"Then I'll try it too, Xiaominato, and I'll change the next one after you're done."

"Wait, knot, come in order, it's me after Kominato."

The senior and others on the side looked at the hit area they had been snatched away with a sad and angry face, but they were helpless, after all, they played three rounds and didn't even find out that Rong Chun threw a few straight balls.

When he really started to hit Rongjun's pitching, Ryosuke Senpai realized that things were not as simple as he imagined, originally he thought there would always be some small movements or something, but it turned out that except for those nuances after reaching home plate, there were no other problems, invisible drop points, subtle changes, bright pitching style, and no time to react at all.

Before you even notice the problem, the next ball comes, and the dizzy three balls go by, and in the end you find that you find nothing. This kind of straight ball is a little difficult for skill-based hitters, and it is easy to be deceived and hit catch-and-kill balls, but this kind of ball is not absolute, in the face of Isashiki seniors, who can play both good and bad balls, a combination of strength and skill, Rong Chun's subtle changes are not too threatening to him, but if there is a good catcher with the ball, he may be able to deceive. Not to mention a power-based hitter like Masuko's predecessors, who can hit the outfield with a little force, and can also distinguish one from the other for a hitter with very good dynamic vision.

But even this is enough to surprise the seniors, this is just a straight ball, and it is a straight ball under the special control of Rong Chun, if you let it go a little more, it can be used as a change ball. The ball control itself is not weak, the alternation of inside and outside corners, mixed with subtle changes, I don't know how many people will be fooled, and the decisive carter, just with these plus any catcher from Chris or Yuxing, there are few schools in the country that can really win Rongchun.

"It's terrifying to be a freshman now."
