Masuko and Miyuki, although neither of them has the strongest batting level in Seidou. However, the team recognizes the attacking strength of the two.
Especially Miyuki is very knowledgeable about the tricky balls.
Such two batters were actually solved by the opponent with two balls.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
All the players looked at each other with dazed expressions on their faces.
On the opposite, in the rest area of Konan High School.
Konan's Coach, Mukai, looked at Torajiro who was returning from the pitcher's mound with a smile on his face, no matter how he concealed it, he couldn't hide it.
"Although I'm not old, and I haven't been a coach for a long time," 'Actually, it's not too short. I look young, but in fact, I'm forty years old, and I have been a coach for more than ten years.'
"But Torajiro is definitely the most talented player I've ever trained!"
He is a bit introverted, looks like a good boy, has good academic performance, not popular, and has no leadership experience…
It seems that Torajiro really does not have the talent to become an Ace.
But appearances could be so deceiving.
Although his character is really unsuitable to be an Ace, he has the talent for an Ace.
Accurate and frightening ball control!
Not only he could control where the ball would go very precisely, but he could even control the speed, power, and even the break of the ball to some extent.
Of course, he is different from a pitcher like Yoh Shunshin, the Ace of Akikawa Academy, who also uses ball control as a weapon.
Yoh Shunshin uses ball control as a weapon to play with the batter psychologically, while Torajiro uses ball control to throw a very tricky ball at the batter and get him Out face-to-face.
For Coach Mukai, Torajiro's ball control can no longer be described as precision, it is simply a micro-manipulation!
"Show your talent, Torajiro. Use your pitching to open a path forward for us."
In the first half of the second inning, Konan High School attacked.
"Right now, as the Ace, you can't back down."
Before going to the field to defend, Miyuki said to Sawamura.
"I originally planned to do so."
Sawamura's eyes seemed ready for war.
Torajiro's pitching made him very embarrassed. After all, Sawamura said that Konan High School came to give them wins for free.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!!"
Without any suspense, with three consecutive strikeouts, Sawamura solved the fourth, fifth, and sixth batters of Konan High School.
A top Giant team like Konan and their lineup couldn't even touch Sawamura's pitching.
Although Konan High School are known for their speed, this does not mean that their batting skills are not good. At the very least, that shouldn't be the case for the core lineup of a giant team.
But it is such a batter, Sawamura is like playing with children, playing them round and round.
'You wanted to hit Sawamura's pitching just after studying Sawamura's Pitching Form.'
Miyuki, who made the Game call, couldn't help shaking his head.
Originally, they were overthinking it, thinking that Konan High School had really studied Sawamura thoroughly. Unexpectedly, that's not the case at all, they just studied Sawamura's Pitching Form.
For the Breaking ball, it is only the Change-up ball and the Moving-up ball.
'Your actions on the strike zone are exposing what kind of ball is aimed at, and do you think that we will pitch it to you?'
As a giant team, Miyuki was actually expecting more from Konan High School.
When returning to the rest area, Chris gave a completely different opinion from Miyuki.
"It seems that there is a problem with the opponent's information."
'Eh?'
Miyuki and Sawamura both looked at Chris strangely.
"There should be Magic ball and Forkball in the opponent's information, but they are acting like they didn't even know about them, almost like they are trying to face Sawamura during the Kanto Tournament."
Sawamura during the Kanto Tournament?
These few words made Miyuki and Sawamura suddenly realize.
If Chris didn't say it, they wouldn't really notice.
'It seems true.'
"Even if they look for information, they can't look for the Kanto Tournament, right?" Miyuki said disbelievingly.
The Kanto Tournament is in May, and the West Tokyo Qualifier is in July.
There was a gap of two months in the middle.
If you are Looking for information, it should not be that far past.
"It's not unbelievable. The videos of the Kanto Tournament are the most circulated on the Internet. Because of the confidentiality of the West Tokyo competition, the video on the official website is not all." Sawamura said irately.
The reason why Seidou High School could not collect the detailed information of Konan High School was because the detailed video of the Okinawa Qualifier could not be found on the Internet.
Likewise, it was impossible for Konan to find a detailed video of the West Tokyo competition. Although there was a live TV broadcast at that time, Konan didn't know that he would face Seidou High School before the lottery at Koshien!
"Before the next time at Koshien, I must find a way to record the game videos of all the regional final teams."
In the stands, Takashima Rei said angrily with her arms crossed.
Having not entered the Koshien for six years, Seidou is indeed lacking in experience.
In the second half of the second inning, Seidou High School attacked.
"Seventh batter, pitcher, Sawamura-kun."
In the second half of the second inning, Seidou's starting batter was Sawamura.
When he stood on the strike zone, the fans in the stands immediately burst into different cheers.
"The King is here!"
"Smash it a Home run, Smash it a Home run!!!"
"That is too exciting!"
For the people who enjoy Popcorn, the direct confrontation between the team's Aces is always highly expected.
Of course, first of all, this trump card, the striking power, must be enough to make people look forward to it.
Sawamura Eijun, the Maou, is not only powerful in pitching, but his batting is also full of expectations.
As far as batting performance is concerned, he is second only to the Yuuki in the current Seidou.
'I'd like to see what this guy is capable of.'
Sawamura dragged his bat into the strike zone.
During this process, his eyes never left, Torajiro on the pitcher's mound.
Torajiro.
This name, to be honest, sounds pretty good, just like the name of a character in an anime.
But his looks have nothing to do with his name.
He's tall and thin, wears glasses, and looks a little nerdy.
His previous cowardly personality matched his appearance very well.
The current Torajiro has a nerdy look. It's just that his expression doesn't look like he's on the baseball field but in the exam room.
He exudes the feeling of a good student.
This aura is like a good student during exams.
Powerful scary!
'Take a baseball game like a midterm test. Don't you underestimate baseball a little bit?'
Sawamura's brows rose, and he took a bunt stance.
He just saw Torajiro's aura unhappy.
Even if it's a little awkward, he has to go to base and score points.
Sawamura's eyes became extremely indifferent.
In the position of the catcher, Konan's catcher, looking at Sawamura who was making a bunt stance, felt like he wanted to make a long sigh.
After careful research, Konan of Seidou High School's Kanto Tournament is no stranger to Sawamura's bunt stance.
'This is more of a headache than we thought.'
