"Whew!"

After the hitter raised his bat high and re-prepared, Nagumo Shiyi followed the catcher's code, raised his legs, waved his arms, and continued to throw longitudinal curveballs to home plate.

"Bang!"

A baseball that moves longitudinally to the left at a speed of 108 km/h in the upper part of the inside corner is caught by a glove extended forward by the hand at a slightly outward position behind the outside corner.

“Strike.“ After the ball is announced, the referee reaches forward with his right hand and holds up two fingers, indicating the number of balls as "two."

Yukiichi also took the baseball out of his glove and got up and threw it back to Shiichi Mingumo on the pitcher's mound.

"Nagumo... You didn't waver, and threw a focused curveball—"

"This goal is a ball that brings great courage to teammates on the field!!"

He seemed to see Nanyun's future, which was even brighter than that of the Eight Divine Seniors.

"2 good balls!"

"He seems to be having a good time..."

"The more you let the pitching stance go, the more you let it go..."

"It feels like you're going to hit the sky!!"

Affected by the pitcher's emotions, many viewers began to change their original stereotypes.

"Ping!"

Ayato Urakawa swings his bat and sends the speedball that has been displaced longitudinally to the outside corner and flies out to the right rear.

"Out of bounds!"

……

"There is a strong spin inside corner high straight ball and a low outside corner low straight ball with a low pressure on the outside..."Kuraza Naoya explained to Ono Hiroshi, a student of the same level who came over for advice, and explained Miyukiichi's strategy in this game: "The timing of these two types of ball is very different, and at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a straight ball or not. ”

"And Nagumo can accurately throw good and bad balls, plus a combination of curved balls and speed balls... It's hard for a hitter! ”

"Out of bounds!" Ayato Urakawa swings a straight ball that flies past the outside corner and hits it backwards into the off-court area.

"First of all, it's impossible to hit back-to-"

"As long as Nagumo can pitch as Miyuki envisions, the possibility of Yokohama's reversal will be completely destroyed!"

"Huh!"

At the same time that the batter swung missed, Mikoichi also reached down with his left hand and caught Nagumo's speedball slightly lower behind the outside corner.

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“

After the second baton was struck, Takahama Taku, who was playing as a substitute, also carried the bat to the left hitting area.

"The meaning of everything I do as captain is here!"

Raising the bat forward and looking up at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, Takahama Takuya grabbed the jersey on his chest with his left hand, and then carried the bat in front of him twice with one hand, and then raised the bat upwards to wait for the blow.

"Whew!"

Lifting his leg and stepping forward, Nagumo Shiyi waved his arm and threw a straight ball near the knee in the inside corner towards home plate at a speed of 120km/h.

"Huh!"

Faced with a straight ball that gives the illusion of floating, hitter Takahama Takuya swung his bat and brushed it off the bottom of the baseball.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which flew over the edge line and managed to avoid the batter's bat, was caught by a glove that was stretched out forward.

“Strike.“

"That straight ball just now...", he waved the bat with his right hand, and Takahama Takuya turned his head to look at the pitcher, and re-raised the bat in front of his left shoulder, "It's far more difficult than I imagined-"

"Whew..."

After gasping slightly, Nagumo Shiyi, who was standing on the pitcher's board, looked at the catcher with unusually bright eyes.

“……”

Looking at the pitcher in front of him who was getting more and more emotional, Yukiichi also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Whew!"

According to the catcher's code, Nagumo threw a slightly low near-knee straight ball to home plate.

"Bang!"

Without moving his gloves, Yukiichi also reached forward with his left hand to catch the flying baseball directly.

“Ball.“

"That pitcher is really good... In this kind of scene, he can even throw it exactly to the position of the catcher's glove. ”

"The most critical scene... But he showed the most calm side. ”

Because of Nagumo Shiyi's outstanding performance, the audience outside the venue talked about it.

"Whew!" Nagumoshi throws an outside corner speed ball that moves down vertically from high to low to home plate.

"Ping!" The baseball, which flew low into the outside corner, swung its bat to the left just as it was about to fall out of the good ball area and into the catcher's open glove.

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

After the ball number was two good and one bad, Nagumo Shiichi waved his arm and threw a straight ball high inside the corner to home plate.

"Bang!"

While the hitter dodged to the left side, Yukiichi also stretched out his glove upwards to grab the straight ball thrown by Nagumo.

“Ball...“

"The second ball is a straight ball with a low outside corner that just floats out of the good ball area to test the hitter..."Naoya Kuroza is still explaining Miyuki Kazuya's strategy to Ono Hiroshi: "The third ball uses a variable speed ball that most of the hitters are waiting for, throws it into the good ball area from outside the good ball area, and the hitter hits out of bounds to earn a good number of balls. ”

"And then there's the inside corner straight ball that just scared the hitter..."

"The next goal will be a winner!"

After the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him and re-prepare, Nagumo stepped with his leg up and waved his arm to throw what looked like a bad ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

What looks like a bad ball in the outside corner, and finally cuts into the curveball in the good ball area; Let him see the trajectory of the bad ball in the outside corner, coupled with the high straight ball in the inside corner before, the player's consciousness is towards the inside corner... At this point, even if the ball goes into the good zone, the hitter will not have time to react.

The above is the mental activity of Yukiichi when he is also matching this ball to the pitcher.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which fell to the left with diagonal displacement and fell low in the outer corner, was hit by the bat, which was swept out by Takuya Takahama.

"Out of bounds!"

Moments before the baseball was about to fly out of the strike zone and into the catcher's glove, Takahama also used a split second reaction to intercept the pitcher's curveball and send it to the left to the cowshed outside third base.

"That ball just now—" Kuroza Naoya continued to explain, "It was originally a layout designed to solve the hitters-"

"I can't imagine that the hitter will hit a throw-in with a one-shot reaction!"

"At times like these, it's really hard to focus."

……

"Out of bounds!"

Takahama also swung the pitcher's ball into the inside corner near the knee, flew backwards into the off-court area behind the referee, and smashed it on the iron net.

"The low ball in the inside corner that just let the hitter swing miss, now it can be handled."

"The ball can't fly into the trapper's glove... Let Miyuki start to feel embarrassed bit by bit—"

"The scheduling of the relative relationship is the match that Miyuki thinks is suitable for Nagumo."

"And Nagumo has been throwing the ball according to Miyuki's request all along."

"But the winning and losing ball that Miyuki painstakingly designed was hit out of bounds by the beater—"

"His ball is not only tightly entangled by the beater, but also continues to the center of the line...... "As far as the current situation on the court is concerned, Naoya Kuroza can indeed see the possibility of Yokohama's reversal.

The thought of asking for the four bad balls flashed through Miyuki Kazuya's mind, but he knew that asking for instructions to evade with the four bad balls would fundamentally disintegrate Nagumo's pitch. In this way, the only option left is to switch to the match, which is also advantageous to the hitter Takahama Taku.

"It doesn't matter if you're beaten out now-"

"Nagumo, we're going to keep attacking!!"
