The Batter aimed at the Change-up and he actually missed the ball?
This result made all the players of Inashiro look stupefied.
Any ball path has its flaws. For some great Batters, if they know what the pitcher is going to throw, they don't dare to say it is 100%. They have at least 80-90% certainty to hit the ball.
In the major leagues, it is not uncommon for a Pitcher to be taught about the harshness of the world by a Batter every now and then. Theoretically speaking, the pitcher does not have the advantage in the process of a pitcher versus a batter.
After all, your ball has been thrown for more than ten meters, and the bat in the batter's hand is always held in the batter's hand.
Even if it is some tricky breaking ball, if the batter was aiming at it, the probability of the batter hitting it is very high.
This is also the strategy of the average batter.
After analyzing the pitcher's profile, they will deliberately aim for a ball to swing at.
Inside corner or the outside corner?
Straight ball or a Breaking ball?
Among them, once it is aimed at, the almost certain ball to be hit is the Change-up.
Losing the speed and power of the ball, a Change-up that wins by simply break in timing, once it is aimed at, it is difficult not to be hit.
Of course, that's not to say that Change-ups aren't useful. On the contrary, in terms of its sharpness, the Change-up ball is no weaker than the other breaking balls.
Nevertheless, Just the power of the Change-up is not enough, you also need a sharp enough Straight ball to support it.
Only when confused with the Straight ball, the Change-up ball can exert its greatest power.
However, the batter just now was clearly aiming for the Change-up, but Sawamura's Change-up was not hit. Not even to mention the hit, the Batter's swing was still in vain.
Aiming at the Change-up, the batter can still miss the swing. This is not easy, it is simply incredible.
The Players from Inashiro Industrial High School looked at Sawamura as if looking at an unknown terrifying creature.
The rest area of Seidou High School.
Through those dark sunglasses, no one could see Kataoka's eyes clearly.
Nevertheless, Miyuki could clearly feel the anger-filled gaze of Coach Kataoka.
'So scary~'
Of course, he knew why Kataoka was angry, but he couldn't care less at a time like this.
The arrow has left the bow!
'Come on, show the last ball!'
It is conceivable that after the first game, he and Sawamura will inevitably be grilled for dinner.
'It's going be okay, it's going be okay!'
Miyuki kept hypnotizing himself, all of this was Sawamura's own selfishness and had nothing to do with him. What can he say as the catcher if Sawamura wants to pitch?
Thinking like this, Miyuki convinced himself.
He glanced at Sawamura on the pitcher mound with sympathy and unswervingly signaled.
'The next ball!'
Sawamura's Change-up, once you see it, you will never understand what's going on.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded slightly. He didn't know that his partner had already figured out the excuse to slip out of responsibility and put the blame on him.
In Sawamura's eyes right now, Miyuki was still very reliable.
He relaxes all over, and then swings his arms at full strength.
Now, if Sawamura throws a Straight ball, the Batter will definitely not find the timing.
However, he didn't do that, he still threw a Change-up.
Change-up, three Change-ups in a row. The speed of the ball is all about 120 km/h!
Such a Pitch calling is equivalent to committing suicide, not to mention that the batter is aiming for the Change-up. Even if you are used to it without aiming, this fast Batter can easily find the swing rhythm.
'Let's go!'
The batter couldn't describe the nervousness in his heart. He clearly watched the ball coming, and he knew that he should swing.
However, Sawamura's pitch just now kept appearing in his mind.
'Can I really hit it such a ball?'
He didn't know the answer, but he had been forced into the corner and could only swing the bat.
Exactly the same thing happened again.
The small white ball seemed to be enchanted, and it moved abruptly when the bat was swung.
In a moment, it neatly avoided the bat.
The batter's bat moved past the white ball.
SNAP!
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
It is no longer pitching, Sawamura simply put on a magic show.
Don't talk about the Change-up, if you throw a Change-up for three consecutive balls it is no longer a Change-up because there is no difference in ball speed. When such pitches come in a row, with the same ball speed, Then Sawamura even used a 120 Km/h pitch to Strikeout Shuuhoku High School's fourth batter.
This practice match is over.
With a huge score of 23:0, Seidou High School bloodbathed Shuuhoku High School and finally avenged the injured Tanpa.
"Thank you for the opportunity!"
"Thank you for the opportunity!!!"
After the team scattered, everyone first gathered their equipment.
When Sawamura and Miyuki returned to the rest area, they saw Kataoka's cold face.
"I have warned you before that, except for the Forkball, don't hone any other Pitches for the time being?"
When Miyuki and Sawamura just finished, they were very proud to see the pale faces of their 'friends' from Inashiro.
The Players around them also praised them a lot!
That's how it should be. Since the other party is challenging them, they would fight back fiercely.
Therefore, when they just came off the field, Kuramochi and Ryosuke were very happy.
"Hyaa-ha-ha, that's how it should be."
"The boy is sure promising."
Not only them, Isashiki, Masuko, including the Captain, Tetsuya, all come forward to celebrate.
Players and supervisors have different perspectives. For supervisors, they must preserve their strength right now, because Koshien is the most important!
However, for the players, there is no reason not to fight back when they are being challenged at their home.
If there were no excitement at all, why would they play baseball?
Therefore, almost all the Players of Seidou High School have supported Sawamura's doing.
It's just that when Kataoka asked, the seniors who had been enthusiastically cheering for Sawamura just now disappeared suddenly.
'Eh? Where did all these people go?'
Sawamura turned around in surprise and saw that his seniors were all busy, packing their bags and bats.
No one looked over here.
Friendships are gone just like this.
"It's more helpful for you to sharpen the weapon you already have in your hand than to hone more Breaking balls. Didn't I warn you before?"
Chris frowned and looked at Sawamura.
He has also been training with Sawamura, knowing that Sawamura is practicing this kind of breaking ball.
However, he told Sawamura directly then it was not the time for him to practice this kind of breaking ball.
You need to know that you can't bite more than you can chew!
For a Pitcher with a lot of breaking balls, the most critical thing is the touch of the fingers. The slightest difference in feeling can cause you to throw a different pitch today than you did yesterday
