Chapter 372: Qingdao Road vs Koma Otomaki (35)

"Whew!"

When the hitter was ready, Tanaka swung his arm wide into home plate and threw a straight ball high into the inside corner.

"Ping!"

A baseball that flies out of the good ball area at a speed of 137 km/h grabs the bottom of the bat, flies left off the sideline, and is picked up on the lawn in the cowshed.

"Hello!"

Once the batter was ready again, Tanaka raised his big hands above his head and waved his right arm to throw a slightly out-of-the-box two-seam fast ball at home plate.

"Huh!"

A baseball that begins to fall from the left side of the hit zone at a speed of 128 km/h, while the batter swings from above, the catcher's outstretched glove catches the baseball that is still falling longitudinally a little behind the low position in the outside corner.

“Strike...“

After being forced to the second best ball by the strongest pitcher of his generation, Shogun Tanaka, who had regained his footing on the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher and waited for the pitch to be pitched in a safe short pose.

"Whew!"

With his hands above his head, Tanaka threw a straight ball into the inside corner high towards home plate at a speed of 138km/h.

"Bang!"

Tetsuya Yuuki noticed that the pitcher's straight ball was a high bad ball, so he quickly stopped swinging his bat and let it fly over the bat, and then caught it with the left hand that the catcher stretched upwards.

“safe.“ When questioned by the pitcher, catcher, and chief judge, the first base judge, who is behind the first baseline, raised his hands flat, indicating that the batter's swing did not exceed the boundary, that is, he did not swing the bat.

Tetsuya Yuuki, who had regained his footing on the batting area, continued to play a safe short stance, turning his head to look at the pitcher and waiting for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

With his hands raised above his head, Tanaka swung his arms into home plate and threw a straight ball from the outside corner that was slightly higher off the pitch.

"Huh!"

At a speed of 140 km/h, it flies to the baseball above the corner of the good ball area, and the bat, which is swung by the beater, hits the bottom and flies high upwards to form a high fly ball at home plate.

"Ping!"

Tetsuya Yuuki hit the ball and ran forward through the home plate while looking up at the sky, and then stood next to the catcher, who was also waiting for the ball to land, to see if he would be picked up and knocked out.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which had been stuck in the air for six seconds, was caught by the hands raised upwards by the capsule in the process of falling downward.

“out.“

After seeing that he was taken out by a man, Tetsuya Yuuki strode past home plate with a bat in his right hand and trotted back to the rest area on the side of third base in front of him.

"The second half of the twelfth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, seven sticks, catcher, Takigawa-kun ......"

When Tanaka, who was on the pitcher's mound, made a gesture of an exit to his teammates around him, Chris was standing in the right-hitting area with his legs apart and holding the bat with both hands and swinging forward.

Gastroenteritis (gastrointestinal discomfort) had just been cured, and Shogun Tanaka, who was plagued by heat stroke (heat stroke), still had the strength to suppress their line, so that they could only rely on the mistakes of the defenders (shortstops) to barely tie 1:1.

He is the strongest pitcher of the generation whose level is indeed higher than that of high school students!

(ps: When it comes to super college-level pitchers, I have to complain that the content of the original book is becoming more and more magical over time!) That's why I chose to write about the same people of the Yuki generation, rather than the generations of Miyuki, Sawamura, and Yui.

Kenta Maezono's question after the end of Golden Week in the third grade: How many monsters like Akira Shoya are there in the country? To be honest, if the timeline is 14 years later, monsters like Xiaogu can always be seen in the national competition; If it is the time period of the 90th Summer Tournament in 08, or the previous 07 and 06 years, it will take two or three years for a monster like Akira to be seen in the national tournament.

In this way, due to the confusion of the timeline, the pitcher's strength increases with the passage of time, but the speed of progress should far exceed that of the pitcher's beater, because the speed of progress is too slow, and the performance in the original book is becoming more and more sluggish.

Getting back to the point, when it comes to the super-collegiate pitchers who have appeared in the Tokyo area: Narumiya Naruto, Akira Shigaya, Eijun Sawamura, Asaku Mitsusei, and Mukai Sun and Yang Sunsin, who have the potential to become super-collegiate pitchers, plus they belong to the strong schools of Tokyo, under the combination of strong and strong, the spring and summer Koshien winners should be covered by the representative teams of the Tokyo metropolitan area, but the result is not the case.

In reality, there are many examples of strong teams led by super-college pitchers to compete for the championship in Koshien, and there are many teams that finally win the championship, such as Waseda in 06 under the leadership of super-college pitcher Yuki Saito, after 24 rounds of fierce battles, defeated Komama Otomaki led by Shosaku Tanaka, who was not in good shape, to win the championship; For example, in 08, Tohama Ju and Okinawa Shangxue defeated their opponents 9:0 in the spring league final and easily won the championship; For example, the 12-year-old Fujilang Shintaro and Osaka Kirin, directly swept the spring and summer Koshien, making Osaka Kiriin once again the top of the whole of Japan, there are countless such examples.

After talking about the combination of strong teams and super college pitchers, the combination of weak teams and super college pitchers can also give very beautiful results, such as the 12-year two-knife monster Shohei Ohtani led the once strong team, and then the declining Hanamaki East has scored the summer armor and spring armor (the spring armor fought against Osaka Kirin and lost the game 9:2); The 19-year-old Reiwa monster Langhi Sasaki led a completely weak team, and the previously unknown Ofunato High School reached the finals of the prefectural convention, only one step away from Hagar, and then out of the mentality of supervising and protecting the players, he did not let Sasaki Langxi continue to board and pitch, which led to Ofunato Wataru losing to Hanamaki Higashi with a disparity of 2:12, showing the fragility of a team after losing a monster pitcher.

From this, how did the author, Shimadera, make Juma Ojimaki connect to the Tokyo team, which is composed of super-high pitchers and strong teams? The match with Inagi Industry is not described in detail for the time being, but in the match with Qingdao, the speed of updating the pitcher's strength and the slow update speed of the hitter's strength are directly shown nakedly.

Even if Masamune Hongo is also a super high-level pitcher, it is impossible for the national powerhouse Aodo to play only one hit in the whole game, and it would be more reasonable to modify the practice match between Aodo and White Dragons a little so that Aodo can continue to knock hits from Hongo's hand and not be able to score.

Even Shintaro Fujinan, who had a more flashy panel than Masamune Hongo, couldn't keep a clean sheet against Shohei Ohtani, who was slightly inferior to him at the time, in the first round of the '11 Summer Liga tournament, let alone only one hit in nine innings. Unless Qingdao, the so-called strong team, is a regional powerhouse in the non-fierce battle zone and the first and second rounds of Koshien, it is possible to have only one hitter in the nine innings when it is pressed and played by the top strong team in the country.

The extreme imbalance between pitchers and hitters made me not want to extend the main plot line back to Yuuki after they retired. )

With the bat resting on his right shoulder and his hands clenched, Chris raised high in the air while turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

With his hands above his head, Tanaka stepped with his legs lifted and waved his arms to shoot a straight ball with his belt inside the inside corner to home plate at a speed of 139km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball was about to fly out of the high area of the inside corner, and the batter Chris swept past hit the bottom and flew high into the air.

"Smack!"

Kobayashi Shu reached out and took off the face guard, turned around and ran to the middle of the right hitting area and the right waiting area, and raised his hands upwards while looking up at the sky, catching the baseball that fell from the sky.

“out.“

After Chris was picked up and killed by the opponent like Yuuki, he grabbed the bat in his right hand and turned around and ran back, going to the rest area to change the catcher's equipment.
