Chapter 455: A battle for the selection of the college wild ball conference

In the first half of the first game, after the announcer introduced the players on the field in turn, the first round of the Wild Ball Conference of the High School officially started at 8:31.

"Buzz—"

When hitter Hiroki Miyazato was ready, Takuya Kimura stepped forward with his leg raised, waved his arm, and threw the first goal of the game over the sound of the air raid siren.

"Ping!"

The belt that moved outward from the inside corner of the left hitter (jet ball, ball speed of 128km/h) was about to be grabbed by the glove that the capsule was about to be grabbed by the hand outstretching forward, and was hit by Hiroki Miyazato swinging the baton to the bottom, and flew high forward.

"Smack!"

Nakamider Jun Isashiki ran from left to right while looking up at the baseball flying from home plate, and then raised his hands in the depths of Nakamida to catch the falling baseball.

"Out!"

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of the Meitoku school, the second bat, the third baseman, Asami-kun, the back number 6."

(PS: The player data used here is Kitatsu in '07, because the performance of Mingtoku Juku School this year was very poor, so I can only use the player data of other schools instead.) )

After Kasuke Asami rested the bat on his right shoulder and turned his head to look at his head, Takuya Kimura stepped forward with his leg raised, waving his arm and throwing a speedball that looked slightly out of the way to home plate.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was falling at a speed of 116 km/h along the edge of the strike zone, was hit in the center of the ball by Yoshisuke Asami's swing just before it was about to fall into the catcher's glove, and flew forward.

"Porphyry!"

"Smack!"

Jun Izagiki, a middle fielder who ran out of the middle area, flew forward to catch the baseball that was hit by the beater, but unfortunately he not only did not catch the baseball, but also pushed the baseball that fell on the lawn forward due to inertia.

“safe.“

By the time second baseman Ryosuke Kominato realized that something was wrong and ran to the lawn of the midfield to pick up the ball in a crouching position, runner Yoshisuke Asami had already run over to the first base, and even had the intention of continuing to sprint to second base.

When Kansuke Asami saw that the second baseman was about to pass the ball sideways, he turned around and walked back to first base, and handed the protective gear he had taken off to his teammates who came to help.

"In the first half of the first game, the attack of Mingde Yijuku, three sticks, left fielder, Matsuura-kun, back number 7."

Sho Matsuura, who was standing in the left-hand shooting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and held the bat high and held it tightly, waiting for the pitcher to deliver.

"Whew!"

As the runner tried to put pressure on the pitcher with a stolen base, Takuya Kimura swung his arm and threw a straight ball with a close knee that was slightly wide of home plate.

"Bang!"

Naoya Kuraza reached for a baseball with a speed of 135 km/h, quickly got up and raised his arms to make a pass, so much so that the runner had to turn around and go back.

"Ding!"

Faced with a straight ball (140 km/h) high in the middle of the second ball, Sho Matsuura changed the long stick to a short stick and pointed the baseball thrown by the pitcher to the left.

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in the right-hitting area bounced to the left and out of bounds, so that Sho Matsuura, who was about to start, had to turn around and walk back to the left-hitting area, swing the bat under him with both hands, and then raise the bat high to re-prepare for the blow while turning his head to look at the pitcher.

"Whew!"

After throwing two containment balls to first base to prevent runners from getting too far from base, Takuya Kimura, who raised his leg and stepped forward, waved his arm and threw a knee-high slide ball at home plate.

"Bang!"

A baseball with a large lateral displacement behind the hit area is caught by the glove that the capitor has spread forward above the right hit area.

“Ball.“

With the ball missing, Takuya Kimura followed the catcher's code and threw a near-belt inward fastball to home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was speeding from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 135 km/h, hit the top of the ball with a swing of the batter just before it was about to be grabbed by the arrester, sending the ball forward on the sand in front of home plate.

"Smack!"

After landing, the baseball that bounced to the right front of the pitcher's mound collided with the pitcher's outstretched glove and fell to the side.

Seeing this, Takuya Kimura hurriedly ran down the pitcher's mound, reached out to pick up the baseball that was parked on the right side of the pitcher's mound, and then waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to first base.

“out.“

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, reached out to catch the baseball passed by the pitcher, and blocked the runner who had already run to the side.

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of Meitoku Yijuku, four bats, second baseman, Ishikawa-kun, back number 4."

Ishikawa, who was standing on the right hitting area, raised his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher, and twisted his waist several times until he was satisfied.

"Smack!"

According to the catcher's code, Takuya Kimura was going to shoot a bad ball to see how the hitter reacted, and Nasei wanted to throw the ball directly and throw the ball on the outside of the hitting area, close to the edge line behind him.

Thankfully, catcher Naoya Kuroza reacted in time to move his body outwards in time to block the baseball that bounced upwards after landing, and only allowed the runner on the base to advance to third base.

Kuroza ran after him, reached for the baseball that had rolled from the batting area to the preparation area, glanced at the runner on third base, and after seeing that he had no intention of continuing to get on base, he walked over to the pitcher who came to fill in the position.

“... Right! That's it, remember what you just said, and cast well. Kuroza patted Kimura's chest with his glove, turned around and handed the baseball he had just received to the presiding judge, then walked back to the back of home plate and squatted, then raised his hand and thumped his glove.

On the other side, Takuya Kimura took the new baseball handed to him by the chief judge, turned around and walked back towards the pitcher's mound.

After hitter Hayao Ishikawa raised his bat high and reprepared, Takuya Kimura, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, lifted his leg and stepped forward, flicking his arm to the home plate to throw a straight ball from the inside corner.

"Ping!"

Ishikawa swings his bat in front of the trapper's glove, and the baseball that flies into it hits the right ball and bounces left out of bounds.

"Whew!"

Takuya Kimura followed the code and threw a thumb ball (129 km/h) to home plate, but the hitter ignored it and allowed his finger kick to be caught by the left hand that was outstretched downwards by the hand.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

Kuraza Naoya took a step out of the pitcher and placed his gloves in front of his crotch after asking for a tricky two-seam fast ball.

"Smack!"

Takuya Kimura, who had not recovered from his form, threw a fast ball that was obviously out of the way, and under the downward gaze of the hitter Jun Ishikawa, Naoya Kuroza could only hurriedly stretch out his left hand and grab the baseball that was about to fall to the hitting area.

“Ball...“

After grabbing the baseball on his pant leg for a while, Kuraza shook his hand to pass the ball back to the pitcher, then returned to the back of home plate and crouched again.

"Whew!"

After hitter Hayao Ishikawa raised his bat high and reprepared, Takuya Kimura, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, stepped forward with his left leg and waved his arm to the home plate to throw a fast ball high in the middle.

"Ping!".

As the longitudinally falling baseball is about to fall into the catcher's outstretched glove, hitter Hayao Ishikawa swings his bat and hits the bottom of the baseball, sending it flying backwards and into the air.

"Out of bounds!"
