"The ball got stuck in my finger and will probably fall to the ground in front of home plate!" After finding out the reason why he couldn't shoot straight balls, Nagumo Shiyi began to find a way to solve the problem: "But if your fingers are in the air, the ball will definitely run around!" Just try to push with the base of your finger......"

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Kuraza opened his case forward and caught the baseball passing through the low area of the inside corner, his calm face showing surprise at Nagumo's ball.

"Wow! So slow! After seeing that the speed of the straight ball he threw became so slow, Nanyun Shiichi hurriedly apologized to the hidden seat who was squatting in front: "I'm sorry! ”

"Just... The ball ...... just now" Kuroza Naoya hurriedly got up and took out the baseball from the ball case, and then raised his hand to throw the ball back and said to Nagumo: "Nagumo, what did you do with that ball just now?" Can I throw another shot? ”

He originally planned for Nagumo to end after throwing this ball, and if the original pitching posture was out of shape because he learned to throw a straight ball with four seams, it would be more than worth the loss. The problem is that what people didn't expect was that Nagumo was able to develop his own speed ball in the process of learning to throw a four-stitch straight ball.

……

"Nagumo's straight ball at the beginning is 110 kilometers away, but the next two balls are 90 kilometers straight at 20 kilometers slower......" After six people, including Miyukichi and Kuruza Naoya, gathered around the pitcher's position centered on Nagumo Shiichi, Ono glanced at the speed gun and told everyone about it.

"How did you shoot those two balls?" Kuroza Naoya said as he handed the baseball in his right hand to Nagumo.

"When I pitched according to the way of the Tibetan classmate, I either couldn't shoot well or exploded, so in order to change the situation, I temporarily pulled my finger away, used the base of my finger to exert force, and sent the ball forward into the ball sleeve of the Tibetan classmate according to my own ideas." Shiichi Nagumo told everyone what he thought when he pitched.

"Everybody heard, it's a speedball." Facing everyone who was puzzled by this except for Miyuki, Kuroza Naoya told his discovery: "And it's a speedball thrown in the exact same posture as a straight ball. ”

"Speedball?" Nan Yunshi was puzzled when he heard this, he threw a straight ball, how did it become the speed-changing ball in the mouth of his classmates?

"Everyone has their own grip, that's right, and how to determine the pitching position depends on your feelings."

As soon as Kuroza Naoya's voice fell, Yukiichi next to him also picked up the conversation: "And your grip induced Nagumo to develop a speed ball ...... by accident."

Having said that, Nagumo was able to find out that his grip was wrong during the pitching process, and he even corrected it in the action of throwing the straight ball...... How strong is his athletic talent!

If there is only the kind of weird ball that is slightly higher than the slow straight ball, no matter how good the ball is, it can only be like a ball bowler, and it will definitely be hit by the hitter.

However, as long as you can skillfully match a straight ball with a speed of 110 kilometers per hour, and a straight ball with a speed of 90 kilometers per hour in the same pitching posture as a normal straight ball, you may be confused by the hitter you hit in the first round!

Not to mention that because of his superb ball control, he can throw balls that are difficult for people to get used to, and as long as the catcher guides him well, it can still be difficult to adapt to when facing the second round of play.

"Nagumo," after standing still in front of the boy who had surprised him many times in just an hour, Kuroza Naoya looked at the boy with eyes full of unknown emotions and sent him an invitation: "In the next two weeks, we will practice throwing thoroughly." ”

"That means ......" Nagumo Shi heard this, and his face was expectant: "I might be able to play in the summer?" ”

"No," Kuroza Naoya shook his head at this and explained to him, "Whether or not you can be a regular in the Haliga qualifiers in two weeks and play depends on the will of the superintendent, and it is not for me to decide. ”

"Since that's the case, then I can't spend my time practicing ...... pitching" Nanyun Shiichi clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it forward, after successfully joining the baseball club according to the set goal, he naturally had to find a way to become a regular choice as soon as possible, even if it was a shortcut: "I want to be a strong hitter more than to be a good pitcher!" ”

……

"Whew!"

The baseball thrown by Hiroshi Sakai with his arm began to move diagonally down to the right before it was about to fly into the good zone, crossing the entire good ball area and preparing to fall inward in front of the knee of the right leg of the hitter Mingumo Shiichi.

"Ping!"

When the baseball that moved diagonally down to the good ball zone flew past the left thigh, the bat that was thrown out by Nagumo hit the center of the ball and flew high to the left.

"Huh?!" After seeing that the first swing of the bat missed, and then knocked out four throw-ins in a row, Nagumo Shi flew out with Yu Sakai's stretch ball, and both the second, third, and first graders opened their mouths with their faces full of surprise.

"Left fielder strikes."

The baseball that flew over the third baseman along the sideline and into the left field sped deep into the field, eventually landing not far in front of the left fielder who ran out of the field.

"Porphyry!"

Because he was too nervous in the start after hitting the baseball, Nagumo fell to the ground in front of the first base, and because he had hit the ball far enough before, he got up with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to touch the first base.

"Smack!"

When Nagumo looked up at the left fielder, he happened to see the left fielder pass the ball to the second baseman in front.

"Safe base."

Without giving the guard much time to react, the runner at second base stepped over home plate to close the batting test.

"Well played!" Kuraza, who stepped over home plate, turned his head to look in the direction of first base, and gave his right thumb up to praise Nagumo's hit.

"Well... That's amazing—"

"Super good fight!"

After the first-year students who were still in the three armies were infected by Nagumo's performance, because everyone had different performance movements when they were excited and excited, the first-year students who were watching the blow test on the side became dancing.

"Zangza classmates, there are other classmates......" Nagumo Shiichi, who was standing next to the base bag, was not only happy to complete the strike test by himself, but also happy to cheer for himself by his classmates.

"The ball suddenly changed...... When I came back to my senses, I had already swung the big stick......" Nagumo Shiichi raised his right hand and shook it, excited about his talent for striking, "but the ball still flew so far......"

I really hit it! This also means that he can use this talent to move up the ranks and then find a way to become one of the nine starters who will be on the Koshien stage in the summer of August.

"Sakai's pitcher is good on its own, and it's on par with the deciding shot when he's in good shape." Kentaro Matsuda stood with Chris, and after watching this test, he understood very well why Yu Sakai was knocked out of the hit, "It's the first-year junior who played that ball completely is too good!" ”

"What an amazing ball feeling!" Chris also has his own thoughts about Shiichi Minamigumo: "As a beginner, if you can play the ball so well and so far, he will definitely be the core of the line next year." ”
