"I don't want to be hit by him, only him!"

Although Takasheng Takenaka doesn't want to fall behind in momentum in the duel with the opponent's four-batter Dong Qingguo, he will not deny the catcher's match because of this, and then have a direct duel with the hitter on his own.

"Whew!" Step forward with your leg raised and swing your arm toward home plate to throw a straight ball with your knee that is clearly out of the road.

"Bang!" Catcher Ryohei Hashimoto moved up the ball sleeve that was originally placed in front of the knee of his right leg and caught the baseball at 134km/h from the pitcher's mound.

Ryohei Hashimoto took the baseball out of the case, raised his hand to flick it back to the pitcher, and then retreated back to the back of home plate to re-squat.

Dong Qingguo held the bat in his left hand upward, lowered his head to level the ground, and then re-established himself on the right hitting area, grasped the bat with both hands and raised it upright, turning his head to look at Takasei Takenaka standing on the pitcher's board.

"Next ball, curveball in the outside corner."

According to the code given to him by catcher Hashimoto, Takamori Takenaka waved his arm and threw a belted high curveball to home plate at a speed of 115km/h.

"Whew!"

A baseball that moves diagonally down from the top of the left hitting area to the right just falls out of the edge behind the good ball area when it is caught in a sleeve reached by a hand.

"Bang!"

“good shot.“ The referee clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upwards to signal that the curveball was a good one.

Dong Kiyokooki swept the ground with his right foot, regained his foot, and when he raised his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher, catcher Ryohei Hashimoto, who was crouching behind him, gave pitcher Takasei Takenaka a signal asking him to throw a straight ball close to the diagonal of his knee.

"No need to play tricks anymore, just use this ball to fight it out, Hyo-seung!"

After the pitcher nodded in agreement with his matching, Ryohei Hashimoto still signaled to him with his eyes: "Be imposing, if you throw too easily, you will be beaten out!" ”

In this regard, Takamori Takenaka directly grasped the baseball in the ball cover, stepped forward with his leg raised, and his right hand stretched out from the inside of the ball cover, and then swung it towards home plate.

"Come on, your most confident ball path!"

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 134 km/h, was about to fly over the home plate when the batter Dong Kiyokook swung off hit it directly and flew backwards towards third base.

"Smack!"

Kento Tatsuda, the third baseman standing on the outside of third base, hurriedly flew to the right, but unfortunately, even if he pounced on the sideline and fell to the ground, there was still no way to catch the baseball that fell next to him, or next to the third base.

"Porphyry!"

When the baseball that landed next to the (inside) touchline on third base bounced out and flew to the lawn outside the left field, the third baseman walked into the bounds from outside the bounds, made a fist with his right hand, and waved several times in a row to signal the hitter to hit a valid hit, and then extended his left hand forward to let the hitter continue to enter the base.

The baseball rolls on the outer turf, hits the iron net in front of the spectators, then bounces to the right over the left field's sideline and falls onto the left field, rolling forward along the home run fence.

"Safe base."

Waiting for the left fielder to run deep into the left field, he reached out to pick up the baseball that was still rolling on the lawn, shook his right hand and passed the ball to the shortstop who stayed in front of the left fielder, Dong Qingguo, who had run past second base, stopped and continued to run forward, took three steps back, stood next to the base bag at second base, reached out and took off the handguard at his elbow, and handed it to his teammate who came to help with the things along with the batting gloves (without leggings).

"Chikayama High School chose to change hands at this time and replaced it with a third pitcher, first-year student Shibata." In the host's explanation, Chikuba Wakayama player Takashi Shibata will trot all the way forward from the rest area on the side of first base.

Takaseung Takenaka didn't get emotional because he was substituted, after all, after his most confident pitch was knocked away by the opponent's four bats, he was confident that he could hold on to the next two games plus two outs without losing points.

"Don't care, just show your strength."

After handing the baseball in his hand to the juniors who were walking towards him, Takasei Takenaka touched the junior's holland with the ball cover in his left hand, and in order not to burden the juniors who were about to pitch the ball, he smiled and waved his hand to the juniors who were walking towards the pitcher's mound, before turning around and leaving the court and returning to the rest area on the side of the first base.

"Senior, I will definitely guard the next three games and will not let the opponent score."

Standing outside the rest area, Takaseung Takenaka still had the voice coming from behind him when he turned to leave, so much so that he blocked out the encouragement of the supporters and the support group in the audience.

"Takenaka, you cast well."

"After that, I'll leave it to Shibata, don't worry too much."

"You've done a great job."

"Takenaka, good casting." This is the encouragement that teammates who are staying inside the lounge say to the ace pitcher who walks up.

PS: It's hard to describe the psychology of each character in more detail like this, and if you continue to write like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to end this match with Chikuro Wakayama in 30 chapters, so even if the content of the game is relatively monotonous, the psychological description of the characters will be reduced accordingly.

……

"Chikayama High School asked for a change of players: pitcher Shibata replaces Takenaka; Eighth batter, pitcher, Shibata. After Takamori Takenaka left the arena and returned to the rest area, the announcer's voice began to sound over the court.

After Takashi Shibata leveled the ground of the pitcher's mound, he began to warm up with the catcher and infielder, and after more than a minute of preparation, the announcer's voice sounded again over the court.

"In the second half of the seventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, the middle fielder, Murasuke-kun."

After standing on the right hitting area, Murasuke swung the bat forward with both hands, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher, he raised the bat upwards and waited for the strike.

“play ball!“

After the referee stretched out his right hand forward, Takasho Shibata, who was standing sideways on home plate, turned his head to look at the runner at second base, stepped forward with his leg, and threw his left hand into home plate with a high ball near the mid-belt at a speed of 132 km/h.

"Whew!"

With the batter not swinging the bat, Ryohei Hashimoto's outstretched left hand grabbed the pitcher's baseball above the high mid area.

"Bang!"

After throwing a bad ball on the first ball, Takashi Shibata will follow the code given to him by the stopper, swing his arm and throw a straight ball near the inside corner of the home plate.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

Murasuke swept his bat down and hit a baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound to the edge of the hit zone at 132km/h, sending it high to the left.

"Smack!"

Shortstop Kusumoto, who was standing in front of the center-left outfielder, lifted his ball sleeve upwards and grabbed the infield high fly ball that the runner hit over.

“out.“ Daiki Murasuke, who had just run to the base instructor area, found that he was killed by the other party, so he could only run forward to the first base and then turn around and run back.

"In the second half of the seventh inning, Seido High School's attack, six bats, third baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Holding the bat in his left hand and swinging it against his right shoulder, Tetsuya Yuuki turned his head to look at the pitcher, holding the bat in the grip position with both hands and lifting it forward, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
