Who is this guy?
Not everyone pays attention to the Kanto Tournament, let alone the West Tokyo competition.
Most of the tens of thousands of fans at the scene had previously known Konan and Seidou High School and only knew Sawamura.
Regardless of whether they knew them or not, they all saw them for the first time in this game.
Okinawa Konan, who has been beaten by Seidou High School, has even fewer players who can be remembered after this game.
Everyone thought the game was heading toward the end. They didn't expect halfway, they would still encounter such a surprise!
Surprise indeed!
The appeal of Furuya does not need to be seen through the whole competition. Just let him throw a ball, everyone who will see it will remember his name.
"I didn't expect that there are such monsters hidden in the bench pitchers of Seidou High School!"
"A monster like this isn't even an Ace?"
"Furuya Satoru!"
"That's great!"
"How fast is his ball?"
"The tester just didn't have time to display it."
Immediately after the shock, there was a discussion about Furuya in the stands.
Right now, at the rest area of Konan High School.
Everyone was stupefied!
They never thought that Furuya was such a power pitcher.
In the catcher position.
Miyuki grinned wickedly, looking at Okinawa Konan who was in shock.
He himself was surprised that the players of Okinawa Konan actually dared to use the old-fashioned materials of the Kanto Tournament to deal with Seidou.
'They can maybe use these materials to deal with Tanpa-senpai, and that's all for a third-year player! Their strength has basically been finalized, and the improvement will not be much in just one or two months.'
'But for first-year players, isn't it too reckless?'
'The first half year after middle school students enter high school is the fastest half year in growth. After their baptism in high school baseball, their skills will be reborn.'
There are players who are useless in all words and forms but became famous, effective, and amazing in High School.
Even Sawamura, the talented pitcher whose style has basically taken shape. After entering high school, the strength is doubled.
Not to mention the Furuya who had nothing before other than talent.
In the past half year of entering Seidou High School, Furuya's level has not been the same every day. Furuya right now and Furuya at the Kanto Tournament are definitely two different people.
'Continue!'
'Another Pitch with the same course.'
Taking advantage of Konan High School's four Batters falling into shock from Furuya's pitching, Miyuki decisively gave a sign to Furuya on the pitcher's mound.
Roaar!!
Exactly the same position, the second ball flew over.
The fourth batter of Konan is worthy of being the best batter of a Famous School. After the shock of the first ball, he calmed down in the second ball.
In order not to fall behind in the count and fall into a passive position, he can only swing the bat.
The bat swung sharply but without hitting anything in the middle.
He doesn't know what happened to the white ball, but it bypassed the bat and got into Miyuki's Mitt.
Boom!!
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
Konan's fourth batter, who had calmed down, swung and missed in the next two balls.
His determination was strong and his reflexes were good, but unfortunately, the bat didn't touch the baseball.
Strikeout.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!"
Followed by the fifth and sixth of Konan High School.
Like their fourth, they were struck Out successively.
This time, Seidou showed their pitching squad depth!
The spectators in the Koshien Grandstand were also thrilled by the Furuya's pitching.
Later, they couldn't help but shout and cheer when Furuya threw the ball.
"Three!"
"Three Strikeouts!!!"
In such a wave of excitement, Okinawa Konan is doomed to be powerless.
In the second half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School's lineup returned again to the first batter.
This time, Kuramochi did not perform miracles again.
The ball he bunted was caught by the third baseman of Konan High School and sent to the first base.
Then Ryosuke got a hit, then Isashiki got a hit, and Tetsuya got a hit.
Three in a row!
An offensive like a raging wave swept the entire Konan High School.
It was Masuko's turn at bat again right now.
In the face of the huge crisis, Torajiro once again channeled the spirit of the gambler.
Using a low Forkball, he let Masuko hit a grounder.
The runner at second base and the runner at first base were Out successively with a double play.
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
Full base, but failed to score.
Seidou High School's lineup was temporarily slowed down.
In the first half of the sixth inning, Konan High School attacked.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!!"
All pitches are ultra-high-speed balls over 150 km/h, and the fastest ball speed is 154 km/h. (95 mph)
Furuya is destined to make a sensation in the whole country at this moment!
He is currently the fastest pitcher in high school.
There is no way for pitchers to compete with each other.
Because the opponents are different, and the teammates are also different. Even if a pitcher's stat is better than the other's, there is no perfect guarantee that a pitcher is better than the other.
Speaking of performance, the Maou Sawamura Eijun was unparalleled as early as his middle school days!
After entering high school, his defensive achievements have been unmatched until now.
But is still hard to say that Sawamura is the No. 1 pitcher in the entire high school.
Because his team is the top giant in the country, and their opponents are almost not as powerful as Seidou.
Therefore, even Sawamura's achievements are extremely dazzling. It is still hard to put the first pitcher's crown on his head.
Although there is no way to compare the specific level through data, it is possible with the ball speed.
Up to now, among all the high school students of today, absolutely no pitching speed can surpass Furuya Satoru.
This is where Furuya is the most powerful!
Leaving the results aside, the speed of the ball alone is enough to scare a lot of batter.
Who is he?
He is player No. 18, a pitcher of Seidou High School, Furuya Satoru!
A man who was given the nickname of The Monster as soon as he appeared in Koshien!
In the second half of the sixth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
When there was no one on the base, Miyuki showed his own habits.
Ping!
He hit the ball with precision right the Mitt of the fielder in the outfield.
SNAP!
"OUT!!"
Sawamura, who stood in the strike zone behind him, was very dissatisfied with Miyuki's striking performance.
"Partner, if you are like this. it will be difficult to take back the position of the main catcher from the hands of Chris-shisho."
"Shut up you!"
"Wahahaha!"
Others say that Miyuki's mouth is toxic, but Miyuki feels that Sawamura's mouth is more toxic than his!
"How come no one has discovered this kid's evil nature?"
To Miyuki's pride, Sawamura just hit a grounder after that and returned to the dugout in shame too.
