Chapter 133: Qingdao vs Shoshosha (2)
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Bang!"
"Out of bounds!"
Taro Fukuda swung his bat vigorously, and although he successfully hit the flying baseball, the heavier ball also distorted his movements, and finally only swept the flying baseball outside the sideline of first base.
It is worthy of being a team with a first-class level in the country, and this second-year pitcher has a heavy ball quality, and he is not inferior to Yagami at all, or even better.
Taro Fukuda frowned, and the after-effects of the joint training began to show, as he only hit the pitcher's first throw, and there was a feeling of swelling in his limbs, forcing him to readjust his stance so that he could swing the bat better.
Kendai Doi, the catcher of the Shoshosha, asked their pitcher Kitayama for the ball again, and the baseball flew towards home plate again with strong wind pressure, and it was another fast straight shot.
But with such a gloomy ball path, Taro Fukuda still failed to swing the bat.
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound dodged the bat swung by Taro Fukuda and fell into the ball sleeve of catcher Kendai Doi.
“Strike out.“
The referee signaled that the Qingdao hitter was knocked out by the pitcher.
"Is it hard to fight?" When Yuki Tanaka was about to go on the strike, he asked Taro Fukuda, who had retired.
"The ball is very powerful, and the rest is not clear for the time being." Taro Fukuda replied in a low voice.
Is Ball Power heavy?
Yuki Tanaka walked to the batting area and waved the bat in his hand, feeling the adverse reaction caused by the soreness of his limbs, and the more this happened, the harder he had to try.
Although Yuki Tanaka was entangled with pitcher Kitayama by three more balls than the previous Taro Fukuda, Kitayama's pitch still didn't allow him to hit a hit, and then the Aodo hitter was once again knocked out by the pitcher of the Shoshosha.
Next is Seido's three sticks, Tetsuya Yuuki, who pays equal attention to skill and strength.
After Kitayama's pitch was hit twice in a row by Tetsuya Yuuki and swept away, catcher Kendai Doi immediately adjusted his strategy and asked pitcher Kitayama for a knuckle ball in the low area of the inside corner.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
Tetsuya Yuuki hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound again, but he hit a rolling ball, and he was only halfway through the run when he was blocked out because the first baseman of the shoshosha received a pass from the shortstop.
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange." The extremely tired Qingdao line in front of the main club, without too many twists and turns, ended the first half of the first game.
"How's it going?" Yagami stood on the pitcher's mound and whispered to Kuraza Naoya in front of him.
"If the seniors can shoot the baseball where I need it, it will be a big help." Like the others, Kuraza was sore and his limbs were weak.
"Looks okay." Yagami Ye bent down and picked up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it, and after dropping it, he moved the fingers of his left hand, and then took the baseball thrown by the referee, stroked the lines on it with his fingertips, and carried his left hand behind him.
Why don't you try it out with a few pitches first? Kuroza Naoya ran down the pitcher's mound to crouch behind home plate, then watched the actions of the Yathemi senior on the pitcher's mound and gave him a code.
Yagami shook his head, all he had to do now was to save his physical strength as much as possible, and he could shoot one less ball.
So Kuroza Naoya immediately signaled to the referee that the game could start after confirming the thoughts of the Yagami senior.
For the first ball, Naoya Kuroza asked the senior for a sinking fast ball (a type of two-stitch fast ball), that is, a high-speed stretching ball.
Yagami nodded and threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whew!"
Baseballs, which used to be able to be thrown into the good ball area, deflected a lot this time, and after seeing the way of the ball, the hitter of the Shoshosha Club stood motionless and did not wave the bat in his hand.
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
"Huh?"
Supervisor Okada of the Shoshosha looked at the scene in front of him, raised his hand and touched his chin, how did the ball control of the Qingdao pitcher become so bad?
By the way, I heard that Qingdao's summer training just ended yesterday, and it seems that none of their players have adjusted yet.
I want to use this level to compete with our shoshosha.,Be careful of being hit by us and lose all confidence.,Kataoka supervision.。
Yagami frowned, raised his hand to catch the baseball that Naoya Kuraza passed back to him, hid his left hand in the ball sleeve and spun around, then turned his back behind him, and according to the code given by Naoya Kuraza, he threw a stretch ball.
The stretch ball on the Japanese side is not exactly the same as the stretch ball on the side of the United States 1, because the speed of the stretch ball on the Japanese side is not fast, while the speed of the stretch ball on the side of the United States 1 is fast and slow; In addition, many Japanese pitchers' holding and throwing methods are considered to be speed balls in the United States, and sometimes they will also regard the screwball as a reverse curveball, which also makes Yagami Yagami after transferring to Aodo last year, take it for granted that he throws a stretch ball as a spiral, in fact, he does not throw a reverse curveball.
"Whew!"
Yagami Yagami's pitch this time accurately threw the baseball in his hand into the good ball area, and Imai immediately swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Ping!"
The baseball hit by the batter turned into a white light and flew upside down in the area between second and third base, and shortstop Taro Fukuda chased the baseball from home plate for several steps before putting it in the ball cover.
“out.“
After taking a few deep breaths, Yagami catches the baseball thrown by Naoya Kuraza.
On the side of the Shoshosha, Imai and Nibaton Kotani whispered when the two staggered, "The state of the Qingdao pitcher is not very good. ”
Kotani, the second baseman of the Shoshosha Society, nodded after hearing this, ran to the batting area and stood up, and looked back at the instructions given to him by Superintendent Okada in the rest area: Do you aim at the straight ball and shoot?
Kotani waved his bat lightly, then raised it above his head and made a gesture of waiting for the blow, "Are you in bad shape?" Let me try it! ”
"Whew!"
The first ball thrown by Yagami Yagami was a two-seam fast ball with a certain displacement that he rarely threw in the game after Chris's injury, unlike the fast ball that the United States 1 regards as a good fast ball with a displacement, the Japanese side prefers the kind of fast ball with a straight ball path, because the wandering ball path is more difficult to control, the accuracy of ball control is not easy to master, and the choices of both sides have advantages and disadvantages.
In fact, if Yagami hadn't put a certain amount of effort into improving his ball control after returning to Japan from the United States, he would not have been able to have a good level of ball control.
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Faced with this new type of ball, Kuroza Naoya finally succeeded in catching the flying baseball in the good ball area, and his heart finally settled down a lot, and he gave a new code to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami nodded, stepped with his legs raised, flicked his arms, and threw a quick slider at the signal that Naoya Kuraza had given him.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
Kotani watched the baseball fly straight over the pitcher's mound, waved his hands vigorously, and swept the bat in his hand out.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
