"Senior Koyanagi, the pitching of the Qingdao pitcher?" Hideshi Ozawa, the third stick of Inagi Industry, asked Senior Koyanagi who was walking towards him.

"The ball is good, but it's the catcher who is really difficult to overcome."

"Is that so?" Hideshi Ozawa nodded and trotted towards home plate.

After coming on the court, Hideshi Ozawa hit several balls in a row with his striking skills that were not bad at the beginning, and finally selected a relatively easy ball to hit and knocked it out.

After the baseball was hit, it flew upside down and flew through the area between the first and second bases, and Hideshi Ozawa dropped the bat in his hand and immediately ran towards first base, and touched the base pack first before Hiroshi Ota, the right fielder of Aomichi, passed the ball to first base.

“Safe.“

The first base judge lowered his hands and signaled that the hitter had successfully reached base.

After getting up from the ground, Ozawa Hideshi took off his protective gear and handed it to his teammates on the side, patted the dust on his body, took a few steps in the direction of second base, bent down and put his hands on his thighs to watch the situation at home base, ready to steal the base at any time.

"Four sticks, guerrilla, Takaji Goto."

As the female voice of the radio walked into the batting area, it was Takaji Goto, a hitter with a hitter in the fourth baseman of Inagi Kogyo Industries.

Takaji Goto, who is a hitter, swept the first ball thrown by Yu Sakai straight away, but unfortunately the timing of the swing was wrong, and the ball did not hit the center of the ball, and the ball was hit out of bounds.

"Yo, see the right time and make a move!" Daocheng Industrial Five Stick Funabashi Yu stood on the waiting area and shouted loudly.

"Funabashi, come on!"

"Senior, look at the fight!"

The players of Daocheng Industry on the bench were also shouting.

Hideshi Ozawa took two steps in the direction of second base, and then quickly dropped back to first base when Yu Sakai saw it.

Takaji Goto waved the bat in his hand and turned his head to look at Hiroshi Sakai on the pitcher's mound, who was still no match for the retired third-year senior in terms of hitting skills, so he had to watch the ball carefully.

Chris also seemed to sense the mentality of the four-batter, and immediately made a signal to Sakai senior, and then placed the ball cover in the low position area of the outside corner.

Yu Sakai nodded in agreement, and after making a pitching pose, he suddenly threw a baseball into his hand at first base.

Ryūmi Inakoyanagi, who was a certain distance away from the base bag, hurriedly turned around and flew back to first base, and the first base judge lowered his hands to signal the safety of the runners.

“safe.“

After throwing the ball in containment, Yu Sakai turned back to face home plate, stepped with his leg up, and threw the ball Chris wanted with a flick of his arm.

"Steal the base!"

Hideshi Ozawa rushed straight to second base when Yu Sakai was about to throw the baseball out.

As soon as the baseball flew out of the palm of his hand, Yu Sakai heard someone shouting to steal the base, and immediately squatted down, and Chris also changed his posture to catch the ball, and the first time he caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he took out the baseball from the sleeve and threw it in the direction of second base.

"Smack!"

Yuki Tanaka, the second baseman of Seido, reached out to catch the baseball that Chris threw at him, and then slapped the calf of Hideshi Ozawa, who was rushing towards him in a sliding position.

“out.“

Hideshi Ozawa, who was one step slower, was decided to be out of the game by the second base trial, so he had to jump up with his hands on the ground, leave the field, and return to the rest area of Inagi Industrial.

The two sides exchanged offense and defense.

"You're too impatient!" Takaji Goto, who left the arena together, said to the third baton Koyanagi Ryumi.

"I just wanted to give it a try." Shrugged.

"Oh oh oh!" On the pitcher's mound, Sakai Yu swung his right hand into a fist a few times before running down the pitcher's mound.

"Well voted!"

"Well done, Sakai!"

On the way back to the rest area, the other guards all stepped forward and touched the ball cover with Sakai Yu one by one.

As soon as he returned to the rest area, Jinguji handed a glass of water to Hiroshi Sakai: "Good vote." ”

"Thank you." Yu Sakai glanced at Jinguji Temple, took the water cup in his hand, and raised his head to drink.

"Okay, it's up to us now."

The guards put on the batter's protective gear and walked outside the rest area to wave the bats in their hands.

Taro Fukuda, who was the first to play the bat, moved around the spot a few times and walked towards the hitting area.

Inagi Koi's pitcher is Kohei Tsukada, a first-year student, and the decisive ball is a fast knuckle ball with a speed of nearly 140 km/h, and the ball is heavy, and even if he hits the ball, it is difficult for him to hit the ball to form a hit.

In order to get to base, it's best to hit the ball in the direction of third base, and only then will he have a chance to compete whether the pass is fast at the guard or the speed at which he gets on base.

Taro Fukuda stood in the left strike zone, raised his bat, and looked at Kohei Tsukada on the pitcher's hill in a posture of waiting for the strike.

Kohei Tsukada stood on the pitcher's mound, first lowered his head and swept the dirt under his feet with his shoes, raised his hand to straighten the ball cap, looked at the catcher behind home plate, and turned around with the baseball behind him with his right hand.

Taro Fukuda stood still on the batting area, and Kohei Tsukada, after receiving the code given by Eisei Shirakawa, a catcher of Inagi Industries, raised his right hand, stepped forward with his left leg, and waved his right arm to concentrate the power on the fingertips of his right hand and pushed the baseball out of his hand.

The sharp white light rushed towards the home plate with a straight ball path, and standing at home plate, you could even hear the sound of the baseball breaking through the air, and Taro Fukuda swung the bat in his hand hard, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and the baseball rushed into the ball sleeve set by Shirakawa Eisheng first.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

143km/h！

The lower right corner of the scoreboard shows the speed of Kohei Tsukada's ball, and the scouts behind the stands suddenly come alive. "Kohei Tsukada is still in his first year of high school, and when he is promoted to the third year of high school, his ball speed should be close to 150km/h."

"Good ball power, good ball control, if he can lead the team to Koshien in the future, he will be indispensable in the professional baseball draft next year."

"Speaking of first-year pitchers, in addition to Kuroshikan's Caizen Naoyu, only the third year of the city university, Manaka and Qingdao's Yagami Yaga, the two of them are better than Tsukada Kohei, and the pitchers in the Tokyo metropolitan area can basically only look at a few of them."

Just when a group of scouts were talking about it, Kohei Tsukada successfully knocked out Semichi's hitter Taro Fukuda.

He made a "one-out" gesture with the other guards, then bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, took the baseball out of his case, and prepared to pitch the ball.

Seido's second batter is Yuki Tanaka, who has just been promoted to the second grade in April this year and became one of the nine starters in Seongdo.

Standing on the batting area, Yuki Tanaka raised his bat and looked at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, he had heard that Kohei Tsukada's skills were good before, but it was the first time he encountered it in the game, and he was at the bottom of the level, so let himself test it.
