Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it flew out of bounds like thunder!
Although the ball did not fall into bounds, the speed of the ball flying was very fast!
Even with the defense of Konan High School, their players didn't have time to react from the time the ball hit the ground until the baseball landed.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
Seeing their captain's incomparably sharp swing, the players in the rest area of Seidou High School were very excited.
"Come on!"
"Hit it Tetsu!"
"Let's get rid of the pitcher in one go!"
The players in the rest area shouted and cheered excitedly.
Unlike the others, the expression on Sawamura's face was not easy.
As a team's Ace pitcher, his brain has to be calm sometimes.
Everyone else is cheering for Yuuki now, but in Sawamura's mind, the situation on the field right now is not good.
Count: two Strikes, two Balls!
The batter is chased!
From the pitcher's point of view, after chasing the batter, the pitcher has many options.
Either he can use the count to fight the batter head-on, or he can use a fishing ball to make the batter swing the bat.
The initiative is firmly in the hands of the pitcher.
"What are you going to do, Torajiro?"
Originally, Sawamura had no memory of Torajiro, but after this game, Sawamura probably will never forget this name again in his life.
Although in the memory of before he returned to the past, there is not much information about Torajiro.
But this time, Torajiro made Sawamura see and experience a different baseball.
A baseball that is absolutely impossible to play for a professional baseball player!
It's a mindset that once you're in the pros, especially in the Major League, baseball is all about winning.
Only in their time as students, they can play for excitement.
'Here we go!'
'Two Strikes, two Balls.'
Torajiro on the pitcher's mound suddenly exploded with fighting spirit.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
As if telepathically, Sawamura knew it was about to begin.
Torajiro will perform his stunt next.
This kind of thing never happens in professional baseball, especially in the Major League.
The Major Leagues also have a fight for achievement!
For the glory of the championship, players will minimize all risks and mistakes.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this approach! In fact, more than just professional baseball, even in high school baseball, this practice is commonplace.
A team that really wants to win the championship will never give the opponent obvious loopholes and mistakes.
This is also the reason why players who graduate from Koshien can quickly adapt to professional baseball.
Because everyone pursues the same goal, which is victory.
But in doing so, something is naturally lost.
For example, some desperate performances.
Just like what Torajiro is going to do now.
"The Swallow's Homecoming!"
It's not that he didn't know that Seidou High School had probably already understood his pitch.
'But so what?'
His performance will be more meaningful only if Seidou High School can analyze the ball.
Whoosh!
After several tricky Pitches in a row, Torajiro suddenly threw to the center.
Yuuki on the strike zone moved.
'The tie-breaker Pitch is right in the center?'
As long as Yuuki's brain was not flooded now, Of course, he knew something was wrong with pitching.
'But what if there is?'
Now the opponent is already two Strikes ahead, occupying the advantage in the count.
Yuuki can only swing the bat!
Because the speed of the opponent's pitching was really unpleasant, Yuuki dealt with it very calmly, even if the ball had already been Pitched, he was not in a hurry to swing.
Instead, he slowly waited for the ball to come, and waited until the ball was at his hand.
Only then did Yuuki complete his swing!
BUZZ!!
When the bat was swung, the air in the entire striking zone seemed to be evacuated.
'So scary!'
Even if it wasn't the first time to watch Yuuki swing the bat, the catcher of Konan High School was still shocked.
He felt like he was about to suffocate when Tetsuya started swinging the bat.
Ping!
When swinging, he adjusted his swing slightly.
He aimed at the half-ball position above the Straight ball.
After the baseball was hit, it moved forward.
On the strike zone, the complexion of Yuuki immediately sank.
'I was tricked!'
This ball did not float at all, it was just an ordinary Straight ball.
In the face of the fourth batter of Seidou High School, Torajiro boldly threw a Straight ball to the center!
'Really…'
'I can't think of the right words to describe this guy's courage.'
Seeing that Yuuki didn't sweep the ball high, Torajiro couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
'It worked!'
He was actually betting just now that the players at Seidou High School had thoroughly understood the mystery of his pitching.
This time, he won the bet!
On the mound, Torajiro opened his Mitt, ready to catch the ball.
But the ball that Yuuki hit was too fast!
Even if Torajiro tried hard to catch up, he still didn't touch the ball!
The baseball was by his side, and it bounced off the ground and flew away.
This scene made the players of Konan High School look stupid.
The grounder to the pitcher's mound was actually too fast for the pitcher to stop it?
This is too unreal, isn't it?
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
"It's so amazing!" Isashiki laughed.
The second baseman and shortstop hurriedly filled in, but neither of them, like the pitcher, could make it in time.
The baseball crossed the infield defense and flew straight to the outfield.
Although the hit got the captain by surprise, he still relied on his invincible swing to force the hit.
No Out, runner at first base!
In the stands, the supporters of Seidou High School were also overjoyed.
"Good luck too!"
"Looks like God blessed us."
For such a statement, Fujio in the Press Box disagreed.
Being able to get this hit has nothing to do with luck. The reason why there is such a result is that he has honed his batting every day for the past three years in high school.
Where in the world is there a free lunch?
Behind any hit, there are countless sweat and hard work.
Ping!
Masuko, who was the fifth bat, went to the strike zone and made a bunt directly.
The white ball was knocked, and Tetsuya was ready and rushed to the second base in one go.
Masuko is very big, his speed is not particularly fast, so he was Out as a matter of course.
Those who are familiar with Seidou High School are not unfamiliar with Seidou High School's next attack mode.
Right now, Seidou High School has already treated Konan High School as a team like Inashiro.
Don't be greedy, as long as you can get points.
"That's the style of Seidou High School."
One Out, the runner at second base.
"Sixth Batter, catcher, Miyuki-kun."
It was Miyuki Kazuya's turn, who was the sixth batter.
When he walked to the strike zone, there were a lot of complaints from the rest area.
"It's his turn again at such a good time."
"The stinky boy is too lucky!"
"Didn't they say that good people are rewarded?"
Listening to these complaints, it is not difficult to see Miyuki Kazuya's 'popularity' in Seidou.
right now, Sawamura, who was the seventh batter, also Out his bat and prepared to go to the on-deck circle.
"Did you get their game calling?"
Before Sawamura came on stage, Chris suddenly asked.
"Certainly!"
Sawamura replied confidently.
The speed of the ball is not fast, the power of the ball is not strong, and he knows the opponent's game-calling plan.
Sawamura, stretched out his hands, ready to fight!
Miyuki on the strike zone raised the bat in his hand high.
"STRIKE!"
"BALL!"
Ping!
"FOUL!"
Ping!
"FOUL!"
Although Miyuki had a strong front, the swing was not very sharp.
After struggling with a few balls, he still didn't hit the ball beautifully.
'This guy's batting strength is not particularly strong!'
Soon, the catcher of Konan High School came to a judgment on Miyuki's swing.
'Let's deal with him on the next ball!'
Seeing the sign from the catcher, Torajiro nodded.
Then he quickly threw the baseball in his hand.
Ball path: high inside corners!
On the strike zone, Miyuki, who saw Torajiro throwing the ball, finally showed a smile on his face.
The ball he had been waiting so hard for is finally here!
Stepping outward, Miyuki pulled his entire batting form away from the plate.
Then decisively swing the bat and hit the ball forward.
PING!!
After the small white ball was hit, it flew far, far, until it was out of the field.
"Out of the Park!!"
"It's a Home run!!!"
