'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.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki glanced at Carlos and was a little surprised.
As a rival of the same generation in Tokyo, he knows about Carlos.
Carlos is definitely a person who gives up easily, no matter who the opponent is. He always looks relaxed, but the more relaxed he is, the higher Carlos' concentration will be!
He is such a weirdo.
But now Carlos is acting weird.
He is looking at Sawamura like a hungry beast.
It might not seem like anything on the surface, but Miyuki keenly sensed Carlos's spirit against Sawamura.
'He has a strong will to fight and is likely to steal bases!'
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded slightly as he watched the sign Miyuki gave him.
'Carlos is dangerous'!
No one needs to say this, Sawamura himself can clearly feel it.
'It's really uncomfortable!'
Sawamura's eyes narrowed.
Narumiya Mei's performance before was perfect.
As his rival, he can't be spineless either.
Right now, it is necessary to fight an eye for an eye and show pitching that is no weaker than Mei-san.
The right leg was raised high, and like a battle axe, and it fell fiercely!
As the center of gravity shifted, the Mitt on Sawamura's right hand was pushed out like a wall.
Carlos his face on the strike zone sank immediately.
'I only knew this kind of information before, but I can only understand it when I stand on the strike zone.'
'I can't see the spot where Sawamura threw the ball at all.'
Whoosh!
Without any warning, the white ball whistled.
'So fast!'
The white ball, without any warning, suddenly appeared in front of Carlos.
The ball is not very tricky, and Carlos can swing.
But he did not swing but chose to watch the ball.
The baseball landed directly into Miyuki's open Mitt, making a crisp sound.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
Carlos looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, the surprised look on his face had not completely dissipated.
'It is unimaginable to simply wait for Sawamura's pitch to arrive. Sawamura's ball is so fast.'
Although a ball speed of 140 km/h is considered a standard fastball in the high school world, in the hands of the giants, the ball speed of 140 km/h is completely within their hitting range.
They can hit this fastball with ease, and they can hit it wherever they want.
However, Sawamura's pitching is obviously not the case.
Because you can't see where the ball is released, you can't foresee when will the ball come over at all.
In terms of feeling, it is no less than a ball with a speed of 150 km/h.
"Really high-leveled!"
With a wry smile, Carlos raised the bat in his hand again.
Despite Sawamura's pitching, Carlos is not panicking because of the information they have in advance.
They pushed the pitching machine forward to simulate this kind of strange pitching of Sawamura.
He quickly adapted to Sawamura's bizarre pitching form and was ready to attack right now.
Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, was keenly aware of Carlos' mentality.
'He did not panic at all!'
'This shows that they are prepared for Sawamura's pitching.'
During the Kanto Tournament, Sawamura was able to turn Kanto's tyrannical teams around in circles.
His own strength is of course the main reason, but in addition to his own strength, the opponents have no detailed information on Sawamura, and they need to adapt to Sawamura's pitching first, which is also a very important factor.
Similarly, in the original work, when Furuya first appeared, he was also a massive blockbuster!
But later, he became a weak chicken.
This is not because Furuya has become weaker! On the contrary, after entering Seidou High School, Satoru's progress can be seen with the naked eye.
The reason why it was easier for the later Batters to deal with Furuya was because they adapted to Furuya's ball speed, and found a way to restrain Furuya's pitching.
And because Furuya had nothing going for him other than his ball speed, it became a struggle of who would crumple first.
Which is usually Furuya, because he had no stamina too.
Now Sawamura is facing a similar situation.
As he showed more and more cards, his strange Pitching Form, and even some Breaking balls, were gradually accepted and adopted by everyone.
After accepting and adapting, the opponents of Seidou will have ways to restrain Seidou.
Among these methods, the most important is to work with Sawamura's pitching form.
Carlos's performance illustrates this point. Inajitsu has deeply studied Sawamura's pitching.
At the level of Coach Kunitomo, has even made his players do adaptive training.
In the rest area of Inajitsu, Superintendent Kunitomo shook his neck and made a creaking sound.
He realizes that Sawamura Eijun's pitching is of course magnificent.
But that doesn't mean Sawamura's pitching is invincible.
After all, it was not a single batter who was ready Sawamura, but the entire Inajitsu Baseball Team.
"Any player has his limitations, even the scariest pitcher in the major leagues, 2/3 of all the Outs he takes are strikeouts. But even a monster like that will drop points. To win these kinds of games either you lose fewer points than the opponent, or score more points than the opponent!"
On the zone, facing Sawamura's second ball, Carlos, who had been in a normal batting stance, suddenly made a bunt stance.
Ping!
After the white ball was touched, it rolled to first base.
Bunt!
This sudden attack method surprised the players of Seidou High School.
Carlos has extraordinary speed, but he is not very fond of bunts. He is completely different from Kuramochi, the first batter of Seidou High School.
The guy also has his own pride.
He wants to be a hitting, running, fielding, all-around star player.
And such a prideful guy chose to bunt and steal bases in the face of Sawamura's pitching? And did not choose to face off with directly.
Fortunately, Seidou's players have been very well trained, even if there is no special defense against bunts, the players of Seidou are not slow at all.
The captain on the first base, after seeing Carlos in a bunt stance, immediately ran forward without stopping.
At the same time, Sawamura on the pitching mound quickly ran to first base.
The cooperation between the two cannot be said to be seamless, but it is also quite close.
After Yuuki picked up the ball, he passed it to Sawamura at first base.
SNAP!
At the same time that the baseball fell into Sawamura's hands, Carlos had already used his incredible speed to run to first base.
So fast!
Carlos was running like a lightning bolt.
At the same time that Sawamura caught the ball, Carlos stepped on the first base bag.
The referee at first base hesitated and raised his hand.
"Safe!"
Carlos steals the base successfully.
The faces of all the players of Seidou immediately sank.
See Carlos, safe on base. The faces of the players and supporters of Seidou High School suddenly became a little complicated.
When Sawamura stood on the mound, his opponents, let alone scoring, were few and far between even on base.
It has never been seen before that the first Batter hits base.
Today, Inajitsu's batters not only hit the base with the first bat.
And the one on base was Carlos.
It was the first time that such a scene appeared when Sawamura was a pitcher.
In the stands.
The Demon-King's Guard and the Brotherhood of Red Hearts were divided into two distinct groups.
The two can be clearly distinguished from the clothing alone.
They are leaning against each other with a line in between.
At the very front of this line are the leaders of the two teams.
Obayashi and Kobayashi, the two are sports manga authors and the leaders of the Brotherhood of Red Heart.
Next to them is Miyamoto, a high schooler and self-proclaimed Pro Gamer, and Grand Commander of the Demon-King's Guard.
Sitting with them were the Players from the original Akagi Middle School baseball team.
Obayashi thoughtfully looked at Carlos who was on base.
"Does this mean that the opponents of Seidou High School today are different from the past?"
"For Sawamura, this is probably a challenge."
Kobayashi nodded at the side.
The object of their support was never Seidou High School, but only Sawamura alone.
Beside the two, the chubby Yamaguchi Ken raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.
"Obayashi-san, don't underestimate high school baseball! In front of those immature opponents in middle school, Captain can of course rely on himself, and of course, us too, to get things done. But the situation in high school is different, Mistakes are very likely to be irreversible. High school baseball is cruel. Even Eijun can't guarantee that Seidou High School will be undefeated."
"The Demon King is undefeated!" Miyamoto pouted and said skeptically.
"Oi, this kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous. What if Captain loses one day?"
Asakaze felt funny and couldn't help teasing him.
Among them, the commander Miyamoto, although famous, is the youngest.
This question was rather critical, and Miyamoto was taken aback for a moment.
After hesitating for about three or four seconds, he said angrily.
"That's means he got a bad teammates!"
Hahaha~
There was a burst of laughter from around him.
