"Twelve!!!!!"
"Ryosuke!"
"Ryosuke!!!"
With the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guards cheering for the battle, the momentum is naturally extraordinary.
In such an atmosphere, Kominato Ryosuke felt that his blood was starting to boil.
'Those fans that boy Sawamura brought with him are very pleasant.'
'However, I can't just play because of this, keep the rhythm, pick the four Balls, and hit the pitcher more.'
Although Yoh Shunshin's pitching speed is not very fast, his rhythm is too good. If Seidou wanted to completely conquer him, he had to disrupt this guy's rhythm.
'Come on, how do you feel when you are so good at ball control and are forced to pitch four Balls?'
Two Strikes, two Balls.
It looks like the batter is being chased, but the reality is exactly the opposite. It is not the batter who is being chased, but the pitcher.
This is the twelfth ball that the two sides have been entangled in!
In the position of the catcher, Sekiguchi looked at Kominato Ryosuke, like he was looking at the Devil.
'The world is really vast. Such a batter really exists.'
'There really are players in this world who can easily distinguish between Shunshin Strikes and Balls.'
'Twelve balls already!'
'By himself, the number of pitches Shunshin consumed was almost the same number of pitches they consumed in an inning.'
The most frightening thing is that until now, Sekiguchi has never thought of a strategy to deal with Ryosuke.
'Such an opponent, how are we going to deal with him?'
'Do we really have to Walk him? This is difficult!'
Just when he was at a loss, Yoh Shunshin on the pitcher's mound gave him a sign.
'Are you really going to do this now, Shun?'
When the pitcher asked for this tactic, the Catcher was hesitant.
But Shunshin's attitude was very firm.
'In that case, come on!'
In almost the same position, Sekiguchi prepared his Mitt.
On the pitcher's mound, Yoh Shunshin threw the ball over.
Kominato's entire body tensed and then relaxed.
'Missed the zone by almost half of the ball, but it was still a Ball.'
SNAP!
"BALL!"
So far, the number of balls is two Strikes, three Balls, and the full count.
The next ball is to decide the winner.
'I hope it works!'
Sekiguchi moved the Mitt to the inside of the zone.
This was clearly seen by the referee.
He looked at the catcher and the pitcher on the pitching mound in disbelief.
'Could it be that they can pinpoint where to throw even in the sideline of the strike zone?'
'Is there really anyone in high school today who can do such a thing?'
On the pitcher's mound, Yoh Shunshin's movements were smooth without any stagnation.
Whoosh!
Such an opponent can only earn the respect of Ryosuke.
After being entangled in more than a dozen balls, the opponent's spirit is still so abundant, which is really admirable.
'However, that's it.'
'This Pitch, although closer to the strike zone, was still a little off.'
'It's a Ball!'
SNAP!
Kominato Ryosuke, who made the judgment, was overjoyed.
'Great, this is the four Ball!'
Forcing opponents with extremely accurate ball control to pitch four bad Pitches. It has always been one of Kominato Ryosuke's hobbies.
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!"
The smile on Kominato Ryosuke's face has not faded. He heard an incredible thing from behind him.
He looked back at the referee in amazement.
'Is he blind?'
'The ball just now obviously deviates from the strike zone.'
The referee looked ignorant: "What's wrong?"
Ryosuke replied helplessly, "Nothing."
The standard for judging Strikes and Balls is originally the umpire's final decision. If he insists on saying that the ball just touched the strike zone, then what?
'I can only swallow this.'
Two Outs, no one on base.
Seidou's players who witnessed all this, his face was hard to look at.
"The catcher moved his Mitt just now, misleading the referee's judgment."
"No wonder the umpire said it is a Strike, Shunshin really accurately threw the ball into the Mitt."
"So, this is the Clock Work Precision, the horror of Yoh Shunshin."
"Having confidence in his control, looks like some ambiguous balls will be judged as Strikes."
"In this way, you can't even let go of corner balls."
'The players not only saw through the horror of Yoh Shunshin but also came up with countermeasures.'
'Although this countermeasure looks rough, it is a countermeasure after all!'
Ochiai caressed his goatee, and his eyes were bright.
'Not just two smart people like Chris and Miyuki.'
Most of Seidou's third-year players analyze their opponent's data and formulate countermeasures.
'Players will think and act by themselves. Such a team is very difficult as an opponent. But as one's own team, it is really reliable.'
Thinking about it, he looked at Yoh Shunshin on the pitcher's mound.
'To be honest, guys like Yoh Shunshin are also very tricky.'
'The competition in West Tokyo is really fierce. In the top sixteen, you can even encounter a player like Yoh.'
The game continues.
With two Outs and no one on base, it was Isashiki Jun's turn to hit.
"Please take care of me!"
When Isashiki Jun saluted, he was always respectful and polite.
'This kid is really polite.'
The referee nodded to Isashiki, indicating that he could play.
Before the referee's thoughts were put down, he saw that Isashiki Jun seemed to have transformed into a different person altogether.
"Come on, brat!"
"Roar, Spitz."
"It's time for you to show off your strength!"
Such a change directly made the referee look stupefied.
On the pitcher's mound, Yoh Shunshin sneered in his mind.
'Dogs that bite, don't bark!'
'The louder the dog, the less likely it is to bite.'
Compared with the fast Kuramochi, and the batting skills of Kominato, Isashiki's performance in the collected information is really lackluster.
And he's a batter who swings aggressively, whether it's a Strike or a Ball.
Dealing with such a batter would be easy.
'Use a Ball and seduce him to swing.'
For Isashiki, Akikawa had already had countermeasures.
Whoosh!
The small white ball, far from the strike zone, flew over from the outside corner.
"Oraaa!"
With a loud cry, Isashiki swung the bat directly.
The bat swung out without even touching the ball.
On the contrary, because the power of swinging the bat was too strong, he rotated a full circle before he stopped.
"STRIKE!"
It was a hilarious performance that made the audience laugh.
"Isashiki, what pride do you have left in the core lineup of Seidou?"
"Retire, retire."
It seems sarcastic, but it's actually not very malicious.
Isashiki, just like the ancient swordsman, fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion and stood up on one knee.
In the stands, Owada Akiko laughed happily.
"I didn't expect that there are such interesting players in Seidou."
Next to her, Fujio had a strange expression on his face.
"What's the matter, Senpai?"
"Yoh-kun's rhythm has stopped!"
Yoh Shunshin, who was originally very smooth, paused because of Isashiki Jun's comical performance.
"Come again, You brat!"
Right now, Isashiki Jun, who stood up, regained his fighting spirit.
He seemed to have selectively forgotten the shameful scene just now.
