'This ball, most likely a Forkball.'
With this judgment, Tetsu's actions were not stagnant at all.
The bat in his hand aimed precisely at the position of a ball below the baseball and swung out.
The white balls and the bat moved past each other, and no one touched the other.
SNAP!
Without any hindrance, the baseball got into Harada Masatoshi's Mitt.
"STRIKE!"
'Is it actually a Straight ball?'
Tetsuya's face suddenly became gloomy.
Did he actually lose to Harada and Narumiya at a time like this?
Yuuki missed the swing on the first ball. This also brought enormous pressure to the players of Seidou.
"Yuuki!"
"Tetsu!!!"
The Players of Seidou didn't know what to say, but mechanically shouted the name of the Yuuki, hoping to pass on a bit of strength to the Yuuki.
In the position of the catcher, Harada's complexion was no better than that of Yuuki.
'Another Straight Ball?'
'Stupid, are you in a vicious circle!'
'If you are just bluffing, one or two Straight balls will be enough. If you pitch like this in a row, the batters of Seidou High School will hurt you sooner or later.'
On the pitcher's mound, Narumiya did not change his expression.
As if the guy who just threw the Straight balls was not him.
Two Outs, runner at first base!
One Strikes, no Ball.
According to normal logic, the Inashiro battery should make good use of the Ball count right now.
Harada's plan is to test with Balls first.
But right now, Narumiya, who was already running wild, did not act according to the instructions that Harada hoped.
He threw the inside corner Slider on the second ball.
In the face of this ball, Yuuki made the same swing.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it was blown far away.
"FOUL!"
The ball Slides inward before it enters the hand.
Faced with this situation, Yuuki is also powerless.
It's easier to pull the ball from the outside corner into the field. Even if he wants to pull the ball from the inner corner, he will not be able to pull it back.
The count is two Strikes no Balls, Tetsuya was chased.
After Sawamura went to base, Narumiya's entire firepower soared.
Almost non-stop, Narumiya's third ball came.
The position of this ball looks the same as the first ball.
The same is aimed at the center, the next hand.
In the face of this ball, Yuuki's body naturally reacted, ready to swing.
But in the end, he resisted the urge.
'No, not right!'
'This ball should be slower than a real Straight ball.'
'It's a Breaking ball!'
'Don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, and wait for the ball to arrive.'
Yuuki Tetsuya's eyes lit up, decisively swinging the bat in his hand!
His timing was not bad at all.
Ever since Narumiya showed a Change-up in front of Seidou High School players before, he has been thinking about how to hit the ball!
The same scene has appeared too many times in the meditations of Tetsuya.
Although this is his first time against Narumiya Mei's Change-up.
But in Tetsuya's own imagination, he no longer knows how many times he has faced off against Narumiya's Change-up.
And he accurately caught the timing of Narumiya Mei's Change-up.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it bounced to the ground.
On the pitcher's mound, Narumiya opened his Mitt effortlessly and caught the ball in his Mitt.
SNAP!
After he caught it, he passed the ball to first base without stopping.
Yuuki on the strike zone was blocked before he even had time to run the bases.
"OUT!"
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
Seidou High School's offense in the first inning, with the exception of Sawamura, who scored a not-so-beautiful hit, and achieved nothing.
Tokyo Prince, Narumiya Mei asserted his dominance.
"The Captain should have grasped the right time to swing the bat, right?"
As soon as Sawamura returned to the rest area, Miyuki walked over to him and asked him.
Miyuki was far apart because it was in the rest area. Although he also saw the break of Narumiya's course, he did not confirm it himself. And asked Sawamura, who was closer to the strike zone.
Miyuki believed that Sawamura must have seen it better than him.
Sawamura nodded at Miyuki.
To be honest, the distance is too far, a full 27 meters. (90 ft.)
Although there is no obstruction, Sawamura can't guarantee that what he sees must be right.
He too knows that if Mei-san was throwing an ordinary Change-up, Tetsu-san should have hit it!
"Was there also any Screwball-like break in the ball course?"
After receiving Sawamura's confirmation, Miyuki immediately asked him with a serious look.
Although the naked eye does not see it, it is not difficult to imagine the scene.
The captain actually hit a grounder with the ball, that is to say, he hit the upper part of the small white ball.
The break of the ball is the fall.
Although, this break in the Change-up may not be too obvious,
But the sense of threat caused is completely different.
Mei he…
"Don't think about this mess, now it's our turn to play!"
Seeing Miyuki falling into his own world, Sawamura hurriedly woke him up.
"Partner, now is not the time to be stunned, be ready to go to the field!"
As he spoke, Sawamura took the lead in changing his equipment and ran towards the pitcher's mound.
Miyuki was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
He looked thoughtfully at Sawamura's back running towards the pitcher's mound.
The speed at which this guy changed his mood was beyond his reach.
Yes, no matter how powerful Narumiya Mei is, what can he do now?
For them, the most important thing right now is defense.
Only by defending Inashiro's attack, Seidou High School will have the opportunity to counterattack.
In the second half of the first inning, Inashiro attacked.
"First Batter, Center, Kamiya-kun."
The first batter sent by Inashiro was their unstoppable starter, Carlos.
Carlos was also one of the specially invited members of Narumiya.
As a player, he is also very talented.
Of course, because he was only one year older than Sawamura, Carlos knew the story of Sawamura in detail.
How can Carlos not know the emergence of such a legend among his generations?
It's just that the elite from the young baseball team gave him a natural condescension mindset to the players of the softball league.
He admitted that Sawamura should be very good, or rather strong. But definitely not to the extent of his fame.
If Sawamura was in the hardball league, he would definitely not be so famous.
Until something happened.
Tokyo Prince Narumiya Mei gave up his status as a junior baseball member and joined the Softball League.
Although it was because of something in his transfer procedure, he had to be in the softball league for a while.
For these talented players in the Tokyo area, it was a big deal at the time.
Narumiya's pitching is well recognized by everyone, not to mention the entire Tokyo area, even the entire Kanto region, and even the whole country, there are definitely only a handful of pitchers like Narumiya Mei.
Such a pitcher, plus a teammate who is two levels stronger than the Akagi Middle School baseball team.
At that time, in the duel between the Tokyo Prince and the Demon King, in the eyes of these talented players in the Tokyo area, Narumiya Mei had an overwhelming advantage.
Narumiya Mei seems to have no reason to lose.
Carlos firmly believed so at the time.
But in that game, Sawamura Eijun not only won Narumiya Mei but also led the weak Akagi Middle School baseball team to win the championship.
Miracle Boy!
Since then, Carlos has given Sawamura Eijun such a nickname.
Everything Sawamura Eijun did was like a miracle in his eyes.
Speaking of which, this is also his first encounter with Miracle Boy.
'It's really exciting to have such a game when we fight for the first time.'
The bat in his hand swayed gently, and Carlos' eyes stared at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.
