Throw a low straight ball in the outside corner first, and see what the hitter is going to do?

Watching the catcher's signal to him, Jinguji threw a near belt-wide outside straight ball to home plate and sped forward on the pitcher's mound at a speed of 144km/h.

"Whew!"

"Ping Pong"

The baseball, which flew from the pitcher's mound to the edge of the good ball zone, was hit by a bated by Ichippei Bababa, and was about to fall into the catcher's open sleeve, and was sent high by him.

"Smack!"

The baseball that was swung out by the batter quickly sped over the first and second bases, flew over the infield and landed on the lawn in front of the right field, and was finally caught by the passing right fielder Hiroshi Ota with a ball sleeve as he bounced forward.

"Safe base."

After runner Kento Tatsuda ran to third base in one go, Jingujiichi who was behind the pitcher's mound caught a baseball from the right fielder waving his arm in front of his chest, then turned his head to look at third base, turned to the left, glanced at first base, and found that neither the runner nor the runner had any intention of continuing to base, so he turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound to stand.

"In the first half of the third inning, the attack of Chikukan and Wakayama High School, eight bats, pitcher, Takenaka-kun."

Takamori Takenaka ran past the catcher after the sound of the radio over the court, stood outside the right-hitting area, grabbed the bat with both hands and swung it vigorously twice before stopping and standing in the right-hitting area.

"Whew!"

When the batter spun around with one hand and turned his head to look at him, he grasped the bat with both hands and held it high, Jinguji stepped forward with his leg raised and waved his arm to throw a near-belt curveball at home plate at a speed of 126 km/h.

"Huh!"

The baseball moves diagonally down from the low outside corner, avoiding the batter swinging hard into the low corner.

"Bang!"

At the same time that the batter swung missed, the catcher opened his sleeve downward and caught the baseball that was moving diagonally downward from behind home plate.

“Strike.“ The referee clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it forward, signaling that the hitter missed the shot.

"Whew!"

Jinguji threw a straight ball near the knee into home plate with a wave of his arm and quickly passed it from the edge of the low post in the outside corner at a speed of 142km/h.

"Ping!"

Takamori Takenaka swept the bat that had been raised in his hand and hit the baseball that was about to fall into the catcher's sleeve after passing through the strike zone, sending it flying backwards and high.

"Out of bounds!" The baseball hit by the batter flew backwards to the off-field area behind the catcher's side, and the presiding judge standing behind the catcher saw this and took out a new baseball directly from the bag and handed it to the catcher.

"Whew!"

After the batter spun around with his left hand and then cocked it upwards and clasped his hands in a gesture of waiting for the blow, Jinguji threw the ball near the knee knee-high with a wave of his arm towards home plate at a speed of 129 km/h.

"Smack!"

Because the ball was too fast, and the ball was too low, the baseball flew to the left side of home plate and could only fall down on the left hitting area with little longitudinal change.

Naoya Kuraza grabbed the baseball that bounced off after hitting the ground in the left hit zone with his ball cover, tucked the catcher cover under his armpit, and rubbed the baseball with his free hands before throwing it back to Jinguji Senpai on the pitcher's mound.

Do you want a low curveball in the outside corner? After a mistake on the previous one, the catcher still asked him to throw a curveball to home plate.

Jinguji Ichi, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, nodded his head, then stepped forward with his leg raised, waved his arm to the home plate, and threw the belt ball at home plate, moving diagonally from the top of the left hitting area to the good ball area at a speed of 119km/h.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which had been displaced diagonally to the edge of the hit zone, was touched by the bat, which was swung from top to bottom by Takamori Takenaka, and smashed forward to the ground in front of home plate.

"Smack!"

After landing, the baseball flew out of the sideline of the infield (third base) to the right due to its own spin, and then fell on the sand outside the field.

"Out of bounds!" After the baseball landed on the field, the chief judge and the third base judge raised their hands together to signal the ball to the players on the court as a throw-in.

“play ball!“

When the referee reached out his right hand to him and asked him to start pitching, Jinguji stepped forward with his leg up and threw a straight diagonal ball with a low path towards home plate at 138km/h.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

When the baseball from the outside corner hits the front of the hitter's right calf, it is grabbed by the ball sleeve that the player has opened downwards to prevent the baseball from crashing into the hitter in the forward rush, allowing it to reach first base with a touch ball.

"Whew!"

Following the catcher's code, Jinguji threw a high-finger cross ball with a wave of his arm to the left side of home plate, flying from the hand mound to the top of the left hitting area at a speed of 128 km/h.

"Huh!"

There is still a slight distance between the batter swinging out of the good zone and the baseball falling forward and vertically, which does not deviate from the catcher's vision when matching the ball.

"Bang!" Naoya Kuroza pads the ball on the ground and spreads upwards to catch the knuckle ball that made the senior throw a bad ball from the start.

“Strike out.“

The referee clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upward, and the batter, after stopping the inertia of turning to the left due to the swing of the bat, immediately started forward, and when he left home plate, he swung his right hand three times vigorously to indicate that he had been knocked out by the pitcher and should have left the game as soon as possible.

At the signal of the chief judge, running along the sideline, the hitter Takaseung Takenaka, who was already near the middle of the section, could only turn around in desperation and run back towards the rest area on the first base.

"In the first half of the third game, the attack of Chikura and Wakayama High School, nine sticks, shortstop, Kusumoto-kun."

Kusumoto stood on the left side of the ball with his legs apart, shook the bat with both hands, and then raised it upright, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and waited for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

Jinguji threw an inside belt high-finger cross ball into home plate with a wave of his arm and dropped it vertically at 127 km/h under the hitter's right arm.

"Bang!"

With the batter not swinging the bat, Kuraza opened the sleeve forward and grabbed the baseball that fell after passing through the strike zone in the low position of the outside corner.

“good shot.“

When the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Kuraza got down on his left leg and raised his right hand to throw the ball back to Jinguji senior, who was standing on the pitcher's mound.

Hitter Kusumoto turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, holding the bat in his right hand and turning it around several times before raising it up again and waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

Jinguji continued to wave his arm and threw a near-belt knuckle to home plate, but unfortunately the knuckle was not very well completed, causing the baseball he threw to fall vertically along the edge of the zone at a speed of 127km/h.

"Bang!"

Kuraza Naoya opens the ball sleeve downward, grabs the baseball that fell vertically, and stretches out his right index finger to sweep the bat in front of his right arm before barely stopping the attacker, indicating that the ball is a bad ball.

“bad shot.“

After the batter stopped the bat, which was spinning in his right hand, and raised it back up next to the batting cap, Jinguji pushed his arm toward home plate to throw the inside corner belt-high straight ball toward home plate, following the new code given by the catcher.
