Three hits, including a homer, and a Three-Run hit.
Compared with Tanpa's previous performance, Tanpa's current performance in this inning was simply incredible.
The pitcher is really a high-risk position. As a result of the current situation, Tanpa only missed two Pitches. If a pitcher wants to pitch a whole game, he must throw at least 100 pitches.
Pitching more than 100 balls, no one can guarantee that he will not miss a single ball.
But mistakes are mistakes. The key is to when and what kind of mistakes.
Tanpa's biggest problem is not that he missed two Pitches, but that he made mistakes at the most inappropriate time and in the most inappropriate situation.
For a real Ace, the most important thing is to be stable at critical moments!
In a game like this, Tanpa still has the Ace number behind him. With Kataoka's personality, he usually doesn't replace Tanpa in the middle of a game that is not over.
This is too embarrassing for Tanpa.
So even if Tanpa was hit by a three-point home run, Kataoka didn't want to replace him.
But after being hit with a home run, instead of cheering up, Tanpa threw a sweet ball again.
No one can fault Kataoka!
Seidou is a Giant, after all, not some little-known team. Here, a single mistake is unforgivable. Make two mistakes in a row and you want to stay on the field, that's absolutely impossible.
Sawamura is the pitcher on the mound in this situation.
No Outs, runner at first base.
The runner is Takehara, the main catcher of Hakuryu High School, and the fourth Batter. At the same time, his speed is also among the best in the team.
The batter was a second-year Kitaooji, who was also a strong batter. In terms of batting alone, he might not be under the Fourth Batter Takehara.
In the current situation, even though no one is on second base, third base, the scoring spots. But the situation Sawamura faced was still not easy.
The rest area of the Hakuryu High School.
Sasaki holding the stopwatch, looking at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
'This is the real Ace of Seidou High School!'
'Even though he is only in first grade, the pitching, and everything is perfect. So far, in the games, has not revealed any loopholes.'
"Then let me see how much of an Ace you are."
Thinking about it, he stared at Sawamura pitching the ball, and since Sawamura raised his foot to make a pitching motion, he had pinched his watch.
Whoosh!
The speed of the baseball was very fast, and it entered Miyuki's glove in the blink of an eye.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
One Strike, zero Ball.
With a click, Sasaki paused the stopwatch.
The time is 1.35 Seconds.
Judging from the data he had studied before, Miyuki's containment speed was very fast, but it was also 1.93 Seconds.
Adding the two together is 3.28 Seconds.
Takehara's fastest stealing time from first base to second base was 3.3 Seconds.
In theory, they should barely be able to stop Takehara from stealing the base.
But this is just a theory. Whether it can be stopped or not will only be known after trying it.
'Next ball, look for opportunities, steal bases!'
After the data collection was completed, Sasaki decisively gave Takehara a sign to let him go when he found a chance.
Stealing from first base to second base is different from going to first base from the strike zone. First, you can run directly without changing your posture. Second, you can also leave the base for a distance, and the two add up to shorten the time a lot.
Like Takehara, it usually takes three seconds and three to go from first base to second base normally.
Count one, two, three, and then they can go to second base.
This is the terrible thing about the Hakuryu.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura glanced at Takehara.
Takehara subconsciously was vigilant, he thought that Sawamura wanted to restrain him. Unexpectedly, Sawamura did not, he just glanced at him, then turned back to look at the Batter.
'What's the meaning?'
Takehara is like being caught by the police as a thief, and then the police do not pay attention to you.
'Steal the base, and feel guilty. Don't steal bases, he feels like a wasted opportunity again.'
'you are-
Before Takehara could think about it, a small white ball flew over without warning and flew to first base.
-Out!'
'Sawamura's eyes didn't even turn, how did he threw the ball?'
With such thought throwing in his mind, the sweat on Takehara's body came down. Fortunately, his tempered body, at this time, had a natural reaction, jumped up, and threw himself on the first base bag.
SNAP!
The baseball burrowed into the knotted glove.
"Safe!"
'Really scary!'
Not allowing Takehara to take a breath, the result was to pass the ball back to Sawamura.
Without seeing Sawamura re-preparing, he just stepped out so naturally and then pitched the ball.
Whoosh!
At the first base, Takehara had just climbed up and did not have time to prepare to steal a base.
'So fast!'
Sawamura's rhythm is too fast.
'Does he need no prep time for pitching?'
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
This ball, Sawamura Pitched a Change-up.
Kitaooji hurriedly swung the bat, but the bat failed, and the ball came late.
The count is two Strikes and one Ball!
"Nice Pitch!"
Satisfied, Miyuki passed the ball back to Sawamura.
'Sure enough, working with a stinky brat like Sawamura is more worry-free than working with Tanpa-senpai. You don't have to worry about what's on the mound, Sawamura does a good job by himself.'
Steal base restraint, and accelerated pitching rhythm.
The most powerful thing is that even if the pitching rhythm is accelerated, Sawamura's ball control and ball power are not affected in the slightest.
"Sawamura, Sawamura!"
"One more ball, one more ball!"
The brothers of the Red Heart and the Demon King's Guards shouted slogans excitedly in the stands.
The slogan is slightly different. The Brotherhood of Red Heart is simply cheering for Sawamura. And the members of the Demon-King's Guard want more, and with one more ball, he can Strikeout his opponent.
How can you the Demon-King not show dominance when you appear?
Seidou's rest area.
Chris glanced behind him at Tanpa with a towel over his head, who was blind, and then glanced at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.
'Too strong!'
'Even if it's not Tanpa's best state now, Tanpa still has the strength he should have. And such Tanpa, in front of Sawamura, is equal to being crushed in all directions.'
'Ball speed, ball power, characteristics, Break, defense, mentality, and skills.'
In everything a pitcher has, Tanpa can't compare to Sawamura.
'The Ace is ironclad, and even the Ace's back number, if Tanpa can't get back to his previous state, looks like he'll have to hand it over to someone else.'
Chris was a little worried about his friend.
Anyone who has worked hard for three years will not be willing not to play and be a substitute.
Especially when you've been an Ace before and it's a different feeling when you turn around and let yourself be a backup.
