Seeing the baseball fall, Shindo's pupils suddenly contracted.
Those who had collected detailed information on Seidou before, of course, knew about Tanpa's tie-breaker. Because Tanpa is tall, the curve ball thrown from that height falls too big, and also moves to the outside corner…
The trajectory of the entire ball changes, which is amazing!
Simply speaking of Breaking-ball's level, Tanpa's high drop curve is definitely a rare sharp weapon.
This is also the reason why Tanpa could be the Ace of Seidou after the seniors graduated.
Tanpa's high drop curve ball, as long as the Pitch is good, even if you search the whole nation, there are not many who can hit it.
These data were collected by them before, and this kind of ball is even more scary if you look at it from the strike zone!
When he saw the baseball next to him with his own eyes, it was as if it suddenly paused and fell rapidly.
That feeling is similar to watching a stunt.
Such a high drop ball is no longer a straight line in the process of entering the strike zone. If you aim at the line to contact, it is impossible to hit the ball. The angle at which the ball falls and the angle at which you swing the bat is the point of intersection.
You have to accurately calculate this point, and it is possible to hit Tanpa's curve ball.
'What a terrifying Break!'
The bat in his hand was clenched tightly, and Shindo's eyes became gleaming.
This time, he will swing the bat!
Although conceded a Strike, but not necessarily a bad thing. If the opponent thought he was aiming at Tanpa's Curveball, that would be perfect.
Thinking about it, Shindo straightened his back and looked sharply at Tanpa on the pitcher's mound.
in the Catcher's position.
Miyuki's eyes never left Shindo, and he observed his every move very carefully.
'he is preparing to swing!'
'Are you aiming for a curveball?'
He didn't step back in the slightest, and there was no shock on his face. It seemed that everything was as he expected.
In this case, the next Pitch will be …
On the pitcher's mound, seeing Miyuki's sign, Tanpa frowned. But after all, he didn't say anything. Although he prefers to partner with Chris, he also recognizes Miyuki highly.
In terms of ball distribution, Miyuki is also a genius.
Since he asked him to Pitch this ball, he must have a plan.
'However, what a nasty bastard!'
It's not without reason that Tanpa doesn't like Miyuki. This guy and Furuya, especially when he is partnering with Sawamura, will talk to them and seek their opinions. On the contrary, with his senior, he was not very respectful and gave orders annoyingly.
At this point, even Kuramochi saw it.
Miyuki's attitude towards Tanpa is too direct!
'Although Seidou is a place where strength is respected, you are always a Kohai, so be polite to your Senpais, isn't it natural?'
But Miyuki was not. When he was partnering with Tanpa, he was extremely tough.
'In order to better guide the pitcher's state, I will do anything!'
This is Miyuki's motto.
His attitude towards Tanpa is precisely because he thinks it can better guide Tanpa's pitching. As for whether Tanpa hated him after he did this, it was not within Miyuki's consideration.
Like now, he's asking Tanpa for an inside corner Strike.
After seeing the path of the ball, Shindo did not swing.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
The count is two Strike and no Balls.
On the strike zone, Shindo's calm face was gone and instead revealed a bit of a hideous look.
'Just now, it turned out to be an ordinary Straight?'
He also thought that Miyuki would give Tanpa another high-drop Curve. After all, judging from the trajectory of the high-drop Curve, throwing for such a corner has the highest probability of a Strike. Otherwise, the outside corner or low angle, that course is likely to become a Ball.
From the corner of his eyes, Shindo glanced at Miyuki who was in the position of the catcher, and Miyuki had a harmless smile on his face.
'Did he see through my plan? Or that he himself intends to use a Straight!'
Shindo didn't understand, but now he is in a bad position.
He has been chased by two strikes, and he can only choose one kind of ball to bet on.
So the next ball, is it a Straight ball or a high drop Curve ball?
Just when he hesitated, Tanpa's third Pitch came.
Whoosh!
'The ball is in the middle.'
Swing!
Seeing the path of the ball, Shindo wanted to swing, but in the end, his tenacious will restrained him.
At this time, how could Tanpa and Miyuki use this Pitch? It must be a high-drop curve ball, this one should be out of the zone!
Will definitely be a Ball!
Resisting the urge to swing the bat, Shindo watched the ball slip into Miyuki's open glove.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
The ball is in the middle!
A Straight ball in the center, aiming at the Straight ball and swinging the bat, but was unable to complete his swing.
"BATTER OUT!!!"
And it was a Strikeout looking.
In the end, Shindo didn't understand his strategy, and something went wrong.
The dugout of the Hakuryu.
"He was hesitating to swing!"
Mima said indifferently: "Since Senpai was aiming for the Straight ball, no matter what ball he throws, he will just aim at the straight ball and swing the bat. Being timid like that gives the opponent a chance."
"Ahh~"
Being told that by his junior, Shindo was speechless.
After coming down, he thought that what Mima said was not unreasonable.
But when he was standing in the strike zone, he clearly felt that Tanpa's next throws should be all high drop Pitches!
in the stands.
A professional scout looked at Miyuki in amazement.
"Genius, genius!"
"Sensei, do you mean the pitcher?"
The professional scout glanced at his assistant and explained.
"Of course not, I'm talking about the Catcher. After his first Pitch, he saw through the course that the Hakuryu wanted to aim at. Then he formulated a very bold strategy, and this was the result at hand."
Different from the perspective of a bystander, the scout couldn't help but praise Miyuki.
One Out, no one on base.
"Second Batter, third baseman, Hoshino-kun."
This time, the batter stood in the strike zone, looking full of fighting spirit.
Miyuki glanced at his stance and position then decisively gave Tanpa a sign.
The first ball: high drop Curveball!
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
For two consecutive high-drop Curve, the batter all missed the swing.
Now being chased by two Strikes.
Then the third ball, a Straight ball is in the middle.
Hoshino's eyelids kept twitching, but already being chased, he had no choice but to swing the bat.
The bat swung out, the baseball dropped, and the two staggered, and no one touched the other.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
"BATTER OUT!!!"
Three consecutive high drop Curves.
Hoshino looked back at Miyuki in disbelief. He really didn't understand why this guy was so bold.
Even Tanpa can't keep throwing a curveball with such a high drop, right?
Isn't he afraid to abolish his Winning Shot?
Of course, Miyuki is not afraid!
Because of this game, Tanpa's mission was not to complete the game.
'Instead of maintaining physical strength at the rhythm of Pitching, it is better to show your strength to the fullest. Don't forget, that Senpai is now competing with Sawamura for the Ace number! If Senpai, who is at a disadvantage, does not have the determination to break the boat, how can you defeat that little Demon.'
Before the game, Miyuki had said this to Tanpa.
This is the real reason why Tanpa completely listened to Miyuki with the ball.
Two Outs, no one on base.
"The third Batter, Center, Mima-kun."
