Chapter 69: Something Other Than Ball Speed (Part 1)

"What the hell is going on?"

All the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, at this moment, seemed to be shocked by Li Lei's pitching.

They have a lot of questions in their heads, and they can't figure it out.

"Who, go get a speed gun!"

Jun Izagiki, who is the first team of the Seido High School baseball team, commands the juniors around him.

"Someone has already gone to get it before."

While the two were talking, a first-grade elementary school boy hurriedly ran over, holding a speed measurement equipment in his hand.

"Is this necessary?"

Seeing this scene, many players were puzzled.

Li Lei's pitching speed is indeed fast!

But this is nothing to the players of the Seido High School baseball team.

After all, in their team, they are also first-year rookie players.

Some people's pitching speed is even faster than Li Lei.

"No, that guy's pitching, something is wrong!"

Jun Usashiki, who has a mustache, is very persistent in his thoughts.

He's going to have to test it.

Is he thinking too much about himself?

Or is Li Lei's pitching really extraordinary.

After one person was out, the fourth baton in front of the park stood in the strike zone.

Li Lei on the pitcher's hill did not have the slightest politeness when facing the front garden.

He's still the kind of extraordinary-big stride, and he's still throwing the ball with all his might......

It feels like Li Lei has pressed everything in his body on the two fingers of the pitch at the moment of throwing.

The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team screamed with excitement.

Such an extraordinary ball speed, such a one-sided crushing ......

All of them are stimulating the adrenaline of the players, making them excited and excited.

They can't wait to see the scene where the opponent is powerless to struggle under Li Lei's strong pitch.

As expected, the striking zone on the front garden, for this speed of pitching.

There is simply nothing to be done.

Even if he disguised himself as an angry King Kong, there was no way to hit the ball, but there was no way to hit it.

It's not that he has a strong mind, so he can solve it.

As soon as the baseball passed in front of him, Maezono didn't even have time to react.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

After this goal, all the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team looked at the little guy with the speed gun.

"139 km!"

The little guy in the first grade didn't hesitate and directly reported the numbers he saw.

The moment they heard this number, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team were inevitably shocked.

"It's already approaching 140 kilometers?"

"The other party is still a first-year newcomer!"

"How is that possible, doesn't that mean he's only 15 years old?"

"To be exact, he shouldn't be fifteen years old!"

When Li Lei was in China, he enrolled a year early.

So much so that his real age is actually a year younger than a high school student of the same age.

When he transferred to Tokyo, the gap was bridged a lot.

Because everyone has a different time to enter school.

Students in Tokyo are half a year earlier than in the mainland.

But even so, Li Lei is still younger than most players in the same grade.

"Under the age of 15, you can throw the ball to 140 kilometers?"

"This guy ......"

Although the players of the Seido High School baseball team think that they have become numb.

But when they actually heard the news, they still felt incredible.

The pitcher named Li Lei is so talented.

"Less than 140 km?"

Jun Isashiki, who has a mustache, looks puzzled.

He's not like the first and second graders.

Those first- and second-year players were simply surprised by Li Lei's ball speed.

After all, this kind of ball speed is beyond the comprehension range of most of them.

You know, even in Koshien, it's rare to see a fast ball pitcher with a ball speed of more than 140 kilometers.

Not to mention, these first-year freshmen who have just entered high school not long ago.

They were intimidated by the 140km fast ball, which was normal.

But Izaki Jun is different.

Not only him, but many players in the first team of the Seido High School baseball team are like this.

For them, the main hitters of the country's top giants, the 140-kilometer fast ball did not go beyond their striking range.

They've seen this kind of ball, and they've even played quite a few of them.

Because they've seen it, they find it even more incredible.

From their standpoint, they obviously felt that Li Lei's pitching speed just now was faster.

Not to mention close to 150, at least 140 kilometers.

Unexpectedly, it was not even 140.

"The speed of the ball is obviously not particularly fast, but it feels very fast! This guy's pitch must contain something other than ball speed. ”

Yukiichi also pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and concluded with great certainty.

"Yes!"

The other players of the first team of the Seido High School baseball team also recognized Miyuki's judgment.

They also believe that Li Lei's pitching must contain other things.

"What is it?"

Kuramochi touched the back of his head.

He felt that his brain was a little inadequate.

Why did Yukiichi also say these words to his senior, he could hear every word clearly.

After these words were put together, he couldn't understand it again?

"It's not that fast, but it feels very fast. Placed in the past, there was only one explanation. ”

"What?"

"This guy's pitching is alive!"

In the past, baseball players often used this language to describe a pitcher's pitching.

Of course, this is not a language that Kuramochi can understand.

"Tell me something that humans can understand!"

"It's very simple, either he has a very strong pitch or he pitches at a very tricky angle."

If a pitcher has a strong pitch or a particularly tricky angle at which he lands.

It often feels like it's faster than the real ball speed.

With such a pitch, it will naturally be more difficult for the hitter to hit.

Kuramochi seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to fully understand.

He looked at his friend in front of him suspiciously, and asked.

"So what kind of guy is this?"

"Didn't you notice where he just landed?"

The ball is so fast, and the angles are so tricky.

It is naturally difficult for the hitter to hit the ball out.

"Type 2?"

Kuramochi guessed.

Miyukiichi shook his head.

"That's the first type?"

"No, I think he should be both."

Yukiichi's big panting made Kuramochi roll his eyes.

If it's not for the occasion, he must let the other party try his invincible scissor feet.

"Wait a minute, that's not right! How do you know the age of that guy, not yet fifteen? ”
