Chris took a step out, got to his knees on his legs, crouched behind the left strike area to catch the baseball that bounced off the ground, and stopped Yagami, who was walking towards home plate, to make up for it.

He took off the catcher's glove on his left hand, rubbed the baseball in his palm and handed it to the judge, then raised his hand to throw the new baseball he had received from the judge to Yagami who was standing in front.

Turning around and walking back to the pitcher's mound, Yagami Yagami looked at the code that Chris had given him, and nodded.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's low curveball toward home plate moves diagonally down to the right at 133 km/h from a position above the left hitting area that was originally parallel to the hitter's knee.

"Huh!"

When the pitcher's baseball fell down to the outside of the corner of the good zone, Tanaka swung the admiral's bat, which he had originally lifted upwards, towards the good ball area below, but unfortunately he could only sweep the corner of the good ball from the top of the falling baseball.

"Bang!"

The baseball flew down to the back of the middle of home plate, and just as it was about to hit the ground, it was grabbed by the left hand that was outstretched downward by the arrester Chris.

“Strike out.“

Because he swung the bat, he turned 180 degrees in the batting area with his back to home plate, and it was a little difficult to accept that he was simply knocked out by the opponent's ace with an outside corner change ball.

After standing in place for two or three seconds, Shodai Tanaka, who had only come to his senses after being touched by the opponent's catcher with a glove on his left arm, nodded to him in thanks, and then turned around with his bat and walked back to the rest area on the side of first base.

……

In the second half of the fourth inning, while the Seido players gathered outside the rest area to discuss, Koma Otomaki ran onto the field to the sound of the announcer's announcement, dispersed and went to their respective positions to warm up before the race.

"In the second half of the fourth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, four bats, third baseman, Dongjun ......" more than a minute later, the four-batter Dong Qingguo stepped into the right batting area amid the announcer's announcement.

After lowering his head and stepping on the ground with his right foot a few times, Dong Qingguo, who was standing on the right hitting area, waved the bat with his left hand, and while looking up at the pitcher, he clenched the bat with both hands and raised it high.

"Whew!" Tanaka stepped forward with his big foot up and swung his right hand to home plate to throw a straight ball near the knee.

"Bang!"

The baseball grazed the corner of the good ball area at a speed of 136 km/h, and then caught it by the glove of the catcher Kobayashi who was reaching forward as it flew forward to the back of the outside corner.

“Strike.“ The referee raised his right hand into a fist over his shoulder and read the number of good shots: "one."

Dong Qingguo waved the bat in his left hand and then clasped his hands tightly, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher, he raised the bat high and waited for the blow.

"Whew!" Tanaka threw a belt-high slide ball to home plate with a speed of 122km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which crossed the entire good ball area from the top of the left batting area and moved down to the back of the low inside corner, was hit by the bat that was swung downward by the hitter, Dong Kiyokun, and flew high to the right.

"Out of bounds!"

When Kobayashi Shu was desperately chasing after the baseball that flew out, the baseball in front flew directly over the fence and fell into the stands behind the left waiting area.

With a bad ball, see how the hitter reacts.

With just one good ball to strike out four batters, catcher Hideki Kobayashi gave the pitcher a code to go straight outside.

"Whew!"

With the batter not swinging the bat, Kobayashi opened the glove of his left hand forward and caught a knee-high straight ball flying from front at a speed of 141km/h.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

After learning that the hitter would not swing the batter at the bad ball, Tanaka swung his arm to the home plate at a speed of 140 km/h.

"Whew!"

The baseball flew forward from the pitcher's mound to the corner of the good ball area, and just before it was about to fall into the catcher's glove, it was hit by the baseball swept out by the hitter, Dong Qingguo, and flew high forward.

"Ping!"

Ryuzawa, who ran from first base to first base to the left of the pitcher's mound, looked up at the baseball that was still flying in the air, and walked forward along the sideline, preparing to take the runner Higashi Kiyokuni out.

"Smack!"

As Dong Kiyokook ran past him, Ryu Nakazawa, who was standing outside the infield sideline, raised his left hand upwards to catch the infield high flying ball that fell from the sky.

“out.“ With his right hand clenched into a fist and raised above his head, the presiding judge instructed the runner to shoot the flying ball and be caught by the guard and knocked out.

"The bottom half of the fourth inning, the attack of Seido High School, five bats, left fielder, Murakuke-kun......"

Stand on the batting area with your legs on your front and back, and after turning the bat in front of you with one hand for several turns, turn your head to look at the pitcher, and hold the bat high with both hands.

"Whew!"

The curveball hung high on the belt, and at 125 km/h, it fell diagonally to the right to the high inside corner, and then grabbed the glove that the hand opened forward.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

After making a good shot on the opening pitch, Tanaka will swing his arm and throw a slider high at home plate.

"Whew!"

The baseball, which had moved horizontally from the left side of home plate to the right at a speed of 117 km/h, suddenly fell sharply to the inside corner, but even if it fell too much, it still could not reach the good ball area below.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which fell inward to the right side of the hitter's right calf, was grabbed by the glove stretched out by the arrester Kobayashi Shu.

“Ball.“

After the ball is equal, Tanaka will raise his left foot and step forward.

Swing your arms and continue to throw a high slide ball to home plate at a speed of 124km/h.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

When a baseball moves from the outside of the field to the right and above the outside corner moves down laterally, avoid the batter sweeping over the area, and then catch it with the glove raised by the captor behind the high inside corner.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

The timing was a little slower, so Murasuke Taiki, who had failed to swing his bat, took a few steps out with his back to home plate, stopped outside the batting area, and moved his hands and feet before turning around and walking back.

After a few turns in front of you with one hand, you can turn your head to look at the pitcher, hold the bat high with both hands, and wait for the blow.

"Whew!"

With just one good ball left to get his second out, Tanaka would step forward with his left foot wide and throw a knee-high carter at home plate with his right hand.

"Whew!"

At a speed of 140 km/h, the baseball to the right side of the hit area moves forward laterally, and then flies behind the low inside corner in the offset of the outside corner of the hitter.

"Bang!"

The baseball moved sideways down to the corner of the left zone and was caught by the outstretched glove of the arrester Hideshi Kobayashi.

“Ball…“

After the ball was two good and two bad, Tanaka would raise his foot and stretch out, wave his arm and throw a knee-high carter ball at home plate again.

"Whew!" The last shot was not good because the ball was too fast, which caused Tanaka Shodai to deliberately slow down the ball speed when pitching.

Unfortunately, the baseball, which flew to the right side of the strike zone at a speed of 131 km/h, still flew behind the inside corner as it deflected outward, and then fell sharply outward, catching it with a glove cushioned by the hand behind the home plate.

"Bang!"
