Chapter 316: Seido vs Chikuba Wakayama (20)
"Whew!"
Jinguji threw a straight ball with his belt inside the inside corner of the home plate with a wave of his arm, and the baseball with a speed of 130 km/h flew off the edge of the good zone, and was firmly grasped by the ball sleeve that Naoya Kuroza stretched forward.
"Bang!"
“Nice pitch.“
After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Naoya Kuraza took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and threw the ball back with his right hand raised while shouting at Jinguji Senpai, who was standing on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
After the hitter raised his bat high to reprepare for the strike, Jinguji threw a straight ball with a high diagonal from the hitter's waist at a speed of 132km/h from the hitter's waist diagonally.
"Bang!"
When the batter is not swinging the bat, the pitcher's baseball flies over home plate and is caught by a sleeve placed by the capsule above the sideline of the right-hitting zone.
"Well voted!" Kuroza Naoya took out the baseball from the ball cover, got up and threw it back to Jinguji senior, and shouted at him about the powerful pitch just now.
"Whew!"
Jinguji threw a diagonal straight ball at a speed of 140 km/h from the top of the good ball area, and grabbed it with a sleeve protruding from the upper part of the right hitting area.
"Bang!"
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
The pitcher swings his arm past the inside corner of the near belt and begins to fall longitudinally at a speed of 130 km/h as it approaches the hitter, causing the batter to swing down and only sweep over the falling baseball.
"Smack!"
The baseball, which dodged the batter by falling vertically, landed on the sand behind the hitter, and before it could bounce upward, it was grabbed by the ball sleeve that the man had hidden on the ground.
“Strike.“
As the officiator raised his right palm up, Kuroza Naoya reached out and took the baseball out of the case, got up from behind the side of home plate, stepped forward and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base.
“out.“
Dong Qingguo, who was standing next to the first base bag, opened his ball sleeve to catch the catcher's pass, stretched out his left foot and stepped on the base bag, and blocked Kusumoto who ran in front of him.
"One out."
Jinguji reached forward and received the baseball from the first baseman, and shouted to his teammates around him while making a gesture with his right hand to make a gesture of out.
"In the first half of the sixth game, the attack of Chikuba and Wakayama High School, a stick, a Chinese fielder, Furumiya-kun."
As the batter raised his bat high on the left hitting area and turned his head to look at him, Jinguji threw a high-speed ball with an inside belt toward home plate with a wave of his arm.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
The pitcher's baseball flew past the batter's side at a speed of 119 km/h, and when it fell longitudinally out of the hit zone, it was hit by the bat's swing by the batter Katsuto Funomiya and flew to the left.
"Out of bounds!" The baseball hit by the batter flew left off the infield sideline and landed on the sand outside the field.
After the batter Kotsuto Furumiya put up his bat and reprepared to strike, Jinguji stepped forward with his leg and waved his arm to the home plate to throw a finger cross ball from the inside corner near the belt.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
The pitcher's swing of the knuckle began to fall vertically as it was about to reach the hitter's waist, and the baseball flew past the hitter's thigh at a speed of 126 km/h, causing Furumiya Katsuto to swing the bat into the low corner of the inside corner to no avail.
"Bang!"
As the batter swept over the home plate, the longitudinally falling baseball was about to crash into the sand behind the home plate, only to be grabbed by the captor's sleeve sticking out straight downward.
“Strike.“
Jinguji grabbed the baseball that had been thrown out of his own sleeve with his right hand, then stood on the pitcher's board, nodded to the catcher's code, raised his hands above his head, stepped forward with his legs, and waved his arms to the home plate to throw a straight diagonal ball with a low path.
"Whew!"
The baseball, which was speeding from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 142 km/h, was parallel to the hitter's right knee when it flew into home plate, but when it flew above the home plate, it had already turned from a good ball to a bad ball due to the previous fall, and it flew from the home plate to the edge of the right hitting zone from the home plate without any contact with the good ball area.
"Bang!" Kuraza Naoya's ball sleeve sticks out downwards and grips it firmly when the ballball is about to touch the sideline (horizontal) of the right-hitting area.
"Whew!"
After the ball count reached two good and one bad, Jinguji threw his arm towards home plate and threw the ball near the belt in the inside corner, turning right from the hitter's waist at a speed of 127km/h, and moving diagonally towards the good ball area next to him.
"Huh!" When the baseball falls diagonally above the home plate, the bat that was originally raised is swung by the hitter, and the tip of the bat is swiped against the inside of the home plate, but it has nothing to do with the baseball that is about to be caught by the captor's sleeve behind the home plate, and at most it will pass by it before swinging it above the home plate.
"Bang!" Kuraza Naoya stretched out his ball sleeve downward, caught the baseball thrown by the senior of Jinguji, and knocked out the beater Komiya Katsuto.
“Strike out.“
After his swing missed, Kotoshi Furumiya turned away from the left-hand area and ran towards the front of the first-base side.
"In the first half of the sixth inning, the attack of Chikuba and Wakayama High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Kamiha-kun."
Jinguji held the baseball in his right hand and hid it in the sleeve, and placed the sleeve in front of his chest, and when the hitter Kamiyu Kiyotsugu raised the bat and turned his head to look at him, he stepped forward with his leg and waved his arm to the home plate to throw a straight ball with a high inside corner.
"Whew!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 128 km/h was too high at first glance, causing the hitter Kiyotsugu Kamiwa to appear indifferent to the baseball flying next to his arm, and did not make any unnecessary movements except for putting down his right foot, which had been lifted by him.
"Bang!" Naoya Kuroza lifted the ball sleeve that had been placed low up and caught the baseball that flew past the right hand of the hitter before it began to fall.
"Whew!"
After throwing the bad ball on the first ball, Jinguji threw the ball into the home plate with a swing of his arm, and the baseball he threw flew to the hitter's right arm at a speed of 116 km/h, and then turned to the right and moved diagonally above the home plate.
"Bang!"
The curveball hung high on the belt, fell diagonally down the good ball area, and was caught in the right side of the home plate by the sleeve extended by the hand-held Kura.
"Good shot!" The presiding judge, who was standing behind the catcher, made a fist with his right hand and raised it upwards to signal that the pitcher's throw was a good shot.
"Whew!"
After the ball count came to one good and one bad, Jinguji threw a low-pitched knuckle ball to home plate, but he didn't expect to fly to the baseball at home plate at a speed of 129km/h because the ball was too low and smashed directly on the sand in front of home plate.
"Boom!"
"Huh!"
At the same time, when the baseball landed, the batter Kiyotsugu Kamiwa threw out the bat just over the home plate and the baseball that landed, making the original bad ball a good ball.
Kuroza stretched forward the ball cover that had been placed in front of the knee of his left leg to catch the baseball that bounced off the ground, but he couldn't get it to pass over the edge of the open ball sleeve and fly towards the off-field area behind him.
“Strike.“ Seeing this, the presiding judge, who was standing behind the catcher, made a fist with his right hand and raised it upwards to signal that the hitter had missed the shot.
