Chapter 387: Decisive Victory and Retrial (5)
"Whew!"
Yagami Yagami threw a slightly out-of-the-box speed ball at home plate, falling at a speed of 122 km/h from a height higher than the catcher, and then grabbed it in front of the hitter's thigh, which was grabbed by the glove raised by the catcher.
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
Yagami, who threw a bad ball in the first ball, followed the catcher's code to him, and when the hitter was ready again, he threw a speedball to home plate again.
"Whew!"
A baseball that falls longitudinally from the front of the side of the hit zone at a speed of 122 km/h is caught with a glove reached by the hand in front of the hitter's thigh and on the edge of the hit zone.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
After the ball count was good and bad, Yagami followed the code given by Chris and went to home plate with a knee-high outside corner curl.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
The pitcher's pitch began to fall rapidly above the left hitting area, and at the same time as the batter was tricked into swinging the bat, it fell downwards at 123 km/h behind the junction between the hitting area and the home plate, and the gloves that the catcher had placed on the ground were scooped up.
"Smack!"
“Strike.“ When the batter staggered from the batting area to home plate because he swung too hard, the referee behind him raised his right hand into a fist.
Under Chris's guidance, the in-shape Yagami and other hitters raised their bats and re-prepared them, stepped forward with his right leg and waved his left hand towards home plate to throw a straight ball near the knee.
"Whew!"
Under the watchful eye of the hitter, the pitcher's straight ball grabs the good ball at a speed of 145 km/h and then grabs it by the hand with the go-to ball outstretched forward.
"Bang!"
“Strike out.“ With his right hand raised in a fist, the presiding judge announced that the hitter had been struck by the pitcher.
"Good shot, batsman out!"
"Qingdao High School's ace Yagami-kun's state today is as good as ever, and after sending a strikeout to the main gun of Koma Otomaki High School, he got the first number of outs in this game!!"
……
"In the first half of the second inning, Komato's attack from Komaki High School, five bats, left fielder, Okagawa-kun, back number 7."
After the hitter was ready to strike, Yagami raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to shoot a fast ball with a high second stitch knee to home plate.
"Whew!"
When the hitter chooses to observe first, he flies through the good ball area at a speed of 138 km/h, and then grabs the glove that the hand extends downward at a low position behind the corner of the good ball area.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
Yagami was in much better shape today than yesterday, stepped forward with his right foot and waved his left hand to the home plate to throw a high-speed slide ball near the waistband at a speed of 140 km/h.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
A baseball that moves laterally from the front of the hit zone to the mid-center-low position, and the batter swings past the bat and hits the lower half of the bat, and bounces forward onto the ground in front of the corner of the left hit zone.
"Smack!"
The baseball, which bounced forward to the back of the pitcher's mound, was blocked by the downstretched left hand of second baseman Yuki Tanaka, who ran from the front of the right field lawn, as it rolled into the field.
Even if Yuki Tanaka only stopped the baseball from rolling forward at first, he didn't take advantage of the momentum to pick up the ball, and he didn't react until he turned around to pass the ball. But when he reacted, reached out and grabbed the baseball on the ground and passed it to first base, runner Naoki Okagawa was one last step away from stepping on the first base.
“out.“
First baseman Tetsuya Yuki crouched down and opened his gloves to catch a baseball from Junior Taka, and blocked the runner who ran behind him.
Yuki Tanaka opened his gloves to catch Yuuki's pass back to him, then waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to second base, and then Fukuda passed the ball to Yagami.
"In the first half of the second inning, Komato's attack from Komaki High School, six bats, pitcher, Tanaka-kun, back number 1."
By the time the announcer finished broadcasting, the six-batter Tanaka had already stood up in the hitting area, and after throwing the bat under him, he clasped his hands and rested it on his right shoulder.
“play ball.“ After the referee reached out to guide the pitcher to tee off, Tanaka raised the bat on his right shoulder high and waited for the blow.
"Whew!"
Following Chris's code, Yagami stepped forward with his right leg and threw a high-knee, sophomore stitch fastball toward home plate.
"Bang!"
As the hitter observed, the pitcher's fast ball flew past the back corner of the zone at 138 km/h and was caught by the hand's forward open glove.
“Strike.“
Unlike yesterday's matching, are the Qingdao Catchers planning to take them down one by one with tricky outside corners!?
Tanaka turned the bat in front of him with his left hand while staring at the Seido catcher next to him, who was a little shorter than him and less than 180 centimeters, and then turned his head to look at the pitcher, grasped the bat with both hands, leaned it on his right shoulder, and lifted it forward, waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
The fastball flew over the left-hand zone at 143km/h and was caught by the outstretched glove of the arrester Chris.
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
After the ball count was even, Tanaka leaned his bat on his right shoulder while turning his head to look at the pitcher. When the pitcher is ready to start pitching, raise the bat resting on his right shoulder forward, clasp his hands together, and wait for the strike.
"Whew!"
At Chris's request, Yagami threw a knee-high straight ball to home plate at a speed of 143km/h.
"Bang!"
When the hitter is not swinging the bat, the edge flies over the good ball area, and then catches the glove behind the corner with the hand opening downward.
“Strike...“
With just one good ball to finish the top half of the second inning, Yagami Yagami swung his arm and threw an outside corner curl ball that smashed into front of the boundary between home plate and the left hitting area at a speed of 127 km/h.
"Smack!"
Chris got up and picked up the baseball that was parked behind Shogun Tanaka's big right foot, turned to change the baseball with the officiator, wiped the new baseball on his trouser leg, and then raised his hand to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Chris who had returned to the back of home plate and re-crouched glanced at the batter who was waving the bat next to him, and signaled to the pitcher to ask for a two-stitch fast ball.
"Whew!"
Nodding, Yagami raised his leg and threw a knee-high two-stitch fast ball into home plate as the hitter turned his head to look at him with his bat raised.
"Bang!"
A baseball flying through the hitball zone at a speed of 143 km/h is caught behind the edge line below the outside corner by a glove that the hand has opened forward.
“Strike out.“ With his right hand clenched into a fist, he raised his head, and the presiding judge announced that the batter had been struck by the pitcher, and the first half of the second inning was over.
"Good shot! The batter is out!! ”。
"Seido High School's ace pitcher Yagami Yagami played with an excellent performance and once again made Koma's batter three up and three down!!"
"I got 4 strikeouts from Komaki Komaki after 2 rounds, and captured the audience on the field with a wonderful performance!!"
