Chapter 346: Qingdao vs Koma Otomaki (9)

Tanaka, who ran from the rest area on the first base side to the pitcher's mound, took the baseball from the junior with his left hand wide open, raised his hand and slapped his right arm to show that the junior would leave with peace of mind, and he would keep the score and make Komato Komakomaki the first Koshien triple in the new century, and the second team in the history of the National High School Wild Ball Tournament to achieve triple domination.

Shogun Tanaka bent down to pick up the magnesium powder bag next to the pitcher's board, and as he pinched the powder bag, he looked at the runner at first and second base with his back to home plate as the announcement of a replacement player sounded over the field.

"Komakomai Komaki asked for a change of player: pitcher Tanaka replaced Kikuchi; Sixth batter, pitcher, Tanaka. ”

Changing pitchers so soon? The timing is really ......

It can only be said that the supervisor of Xiangyou is worthy of being the supervisor of the two-in-a-row team, although the situation on the surface is one out, one or two bases, but the impact of Fukuda's short hit on the base is very great, even if there is no problem on the surface, the best choice is to replace him and let the ace play! If it were up to Superintendent Kataoka to decide whether to make a substitution, he would definitely let Shota Kikuchi continue to throw, and then there was a high probability that he would lose the game.

Yagami Yagami, who was standing next to the second base bag, was a little surprised by the timing of the opponent's supervisor to change the pitcher, and even compared Kataoka with the opponent in his mind, and after a simple brainstorming, he came to the conclusion that in terms of psychological counseling and physical training for club members, Kataoka is definitely one of the top supervisors in the country.

"In the second half of the third inning, Seido High School's attack, second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka-kun......" After the new pitcher warmed up for a minute, the announcer's voice sounded over the court again.

Yuki Tanaka, who was standing in the right-hand area, waved his bat underneath him, and after turning his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, he clenched the bat with both hands and raised it high.

"Whew!"

Tanaka will step out with his left foot wide and wave his arm towards home plate to throw a high inward fast ball with a speed of 140km/h.

The inside fastball is a type of four-seam fastball that allows the pitcher to move the baseball from the top of the hit area to the right horizontally at a very fast speed, allowing the ball to swim slightly towards the inside corner of the hitter.

"Bang!"

Catcher Hideki Kobayashi straightens his left hand upwards and catches the baseball in front of Yuki Tanaka's chest when the pitcher swings his arm to hit the hitter, so as to avoid touching the dead ball.

“Ball.“

After throwing a bad ball at the first base, Tanaka turned his head to look at the runner at second base and waved his arm to throw a fork ball out of the way to home plate.

"Whew!"

The baseball thrown by the pitcher swings his arm at 129 km/h and then falls vertically along the strike zone from above the left hitting area, and then as it falls forward in front of the catcher's right knee, the right-hand spiraling baseball causes the catcher to grab the ball sleeve that extends down and grabs it behind the home plate.

"Bang!"

“Ball…“

After throwing a series of bad shots, Tanaka stretched his big foot forward and threw his arm towards home plate to throw a belt-high inward fastball.

"Whew!"

The inward moving fast ball that flies to home plate at 139km/h initially feels like a high bad ball, but who would have thought that its slight downward movement before flying into the good ball area would turn it from a bad ball into a good ball that flew over the edge of the inside corner.

"Bang!" Hidehide Kobayashi lifts the case upwards and catches the baseball that moves right down from the hit zone.

“Strike.“ The presiding judge, who was half-crouching behind the catcher, stood up straight and raised his right hand over his shoulder with a fist.

"Whew!"

After throwing the ball, Tanaka lifted his left foot widely, stretched it forward, waved his right hand, and threw a quick finger ball towards home plate that would fly over the good zone.

"Bang!"

With the batter not swinging, the pitcher threw the baseball at a speed of 133 km/h, plus a small longitudinal drop, and when it flew to the edge of the good ball area behind the low position in the outside corner, it was firmly caught by the ball sleeve extended forward by the hand.

“Strike.“

After raising his right hand to give instructions for a good ball in the presiding judge, Kobayashi Shu raised his right hand and threw the baseball he had just received back to the pitcher in front of him.

Opening the case upwards to receive the baseball from the catcher, Tanaka turned around and picked up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it, behind him, Yuki Tanaka grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it under him.

When he turned his head to look at him, he picked up the bat in his left hand and spun it twice in front of him, then grasped the bat tightly and held it up, waiting for him to pitch.

"Whew!"

After throwing a pinning ball to second base to prevent runners from getting too far from base, Tanaka stepped forward with a big lift and flicked his arm toward home plate to slide the ball near the belt.

"Huh!"

The baseball, which moves forward and backward at a speed of 130km/h, successfully dodges the baseball that Yuki Tanaka swept from the middle high position in the outside corner, and then grabs the ball sleeve that the hand extends downward.

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“ The presiding judge's right hand is raised in a fist, and the arm is at shoulder height.

"In the second half of the second inning, the attack of Seido High School, three bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun ......"

After the batter raised his bat high and was ready to hit, Tanaka, who was a slanted shoulder pitcher, stretched his leg forward and swung the baseball in his palm towards home plate with his right hand raised.

"Whew!"

Takashi Fujii watched as the pitcher's mound flew in front of him with a significantly high knuckle ball, which sped from his eyes at a speed of 117 km/h and then moved forward and longitudinally, but unfortunately because of the high ball path and slow ball speed, the baseball fell in a near-vertical downward manner, and still could not communicate with the good ball area below, and then grabbed the ball cover raised by the hand in the upper and backward position above the good ball area.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

After throwing the first bad ball, Tanaka raised his left foot and threw his right hand into home plate with a swing of his right hand.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's baseball moves diagonally down to the right from the front above the left hitting area, and then, when the batter is not swinging, catcher Hideshi Kobayashi puts his ball in front of the hitter's right calf and catches the baseball that is moving inward at a speed of 120 km/h.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“ With his right hand raised above his shoulder, the referee read out the number of good balls: "one."

After the ball count was tied, Tanaka followed the catcher's code and waved his arm to the home plate to belt the high carter.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was moving horizontally from left to right at a speed of 138 km/h, was hit by a bat, which Takashi Fujii swung vigorously, as it flew inward to the edge of the inner corner, and flew high into the air.

"Out of bounds!"

Because the hitter didn't handle it well, the baseball that he hit high flew backwards and landed on the sidelines.

With just one good ball to end the inning, Tanaka will stretch his foot forward and wave his arm towards home plate to throw a belt-high slide ball with a speed of 128km/h.

"Whew!"

The baseball that moves forward laterally from the front of the left hitting area deceives the hitter with its gradually upward trajectory, making him think that it is a bad ball, but the baseball that flies to the top of the middle high position suddenly falls sharply, grazing the edge and flying through the good ball area, turning the original bad ball into a good ball.
