In the rest area of Seidou High School.
Furuya looked at the ready-to-swing Sawamura and said, "Is he getting serious?"
"It doesn't look like it!" Haruichi replied when he heard Furuya.
What Furuya felt when he saw Sawamura was that he was getting serious.
And Haruichi obviously doesn't think so.
'Eh?'
Furuya looked at him suspiciously.
Haruichi's eyes were fixed on Sawamura on the strike zone.
The Maou Sawamura Eijun!
Having such stars among the players of the same grade is both good and bad luck for the players.
Fortunately, they don't have to worry about not being able to break into Koshien.
Even if doesn't reach it this year, there's still the next year, the next year doesn't work, and there's the next year.
As long as there is a pitcher like Sawamura Eijun in the team, it will be a matter of time before they reach Koshien.
Haruichi understands and believes this point.
But it is also a sadness.
Because no matter how hard you try, you can't be the best of your generation!
'Even if we don't talk about pitching, in just swinging and hitting, Eijun-kun will be better than me!'
Haruichi's eyes were fixed on Eijun.
He wanted to find what he lacked and Eijun had.
Whoosh!
In the face of Sawamura, the substitute pitcher who just came on the field performed well.
He steadily threw the ball in his hand.
In the strike zone, Sawamura, who had been aggressive and had to hit no matter what, suddenly changed his stance into a bunt.
Ping!
After the white ball was touched, it rolled to between the pitcher and third base.
In this position, whether the pitcher comes up to pick up the ball, or the third baseman comes up to pick up the ball, the distance is very far.
A Fabulous bunt!
With this bunt, Tetsuya was well-prepared and returned to home plate to help Seidou High School score the sixth point.
6:0!
Just after the replacement, Yoshiyama High School still suffered a blow.
"BOO…"
Sawamura walked Yuuki and successfully helped Seidou High School score a point.
His performance was very good, but the audience was booing.
Although there is not much nastiness in these boos, boos are boos, and there is no such thing as good boos.
Even The members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guard had many people booing at their favorite player with smiles on their faces.
"What's going on here?"
There were also spectators who were watching the surrounding boos strangely and didn't understand why they are booing.
Sawamura's choice just now is very good. In baseball tactics, this can even be said to be a matter of course.
Using one Out to exchange for the next point is also a feature of the giants, isn't it?
Do the people around you know anything about baseball?
"No way, who made him the Demon King?"
An audience member who was booing next to him said with a smile.
'What does that mean?'
"If it's another player's bunt, it's okay. If the opponent is an opponent who is on par with Seidou, the bunt will be a bunt. If the situation is evenly matched, and Seidou High School is eager to establish an advantage, using a bunt is okay…"
"But not the case at all here! Seidou High School is almost sure to win in this game. The Demon King is using the method of forcing points is a bit unsatisfying!"
It is like a young man in his 20s carrying a machine gun in his hand and fighting with an eight-year-old kid.
No wonder the audience was a little upset.
Of course, these upsets are all well-intentioned, and everyone just complained about Sawamura being overly serious.
It's not that they hate Sawamura, they were just expecting more from him.
Captain Yuuki was sent back to home plate, and Sawamura was blocked Out of the play. Although his speed is not slow, it is still difficult to run for him to first base with a bunt.
After being banned and Out, in the face of the boos of goodwill around him, Sawamura raised his hands with a smile on his face, waving to the surrounding audience.
It felt like everyone was cheering him on instead of booing him.
"Isn't it shameful?"
Kuramochi pulled Sawamura into the rest area and looked at him with anger.
'Why is this kid always the one in the limelight?'
Looking at Kuramochi's scarlet eyes, Sawamura knew his friend's mood, and he was very upset.
He must be thinking, why isn't he the one who is in the limelight?
"Don't worry, you will have a chance in the future." Sawamura comforted very routinely.
"I don't need your consoling! And I am not jealous!" Kuramochi said with anger.
"No one said anything about you being jealous Senpai." Sawamura teased.
"You little…" Kuramochi was annoyed.
"Hahaha! You guys get along very well." Miyuki laughed from the side.
"We are!"
"We don't!"
In the stands, Several scouts looked at each other.
Before this match, they had heard the name of the Maou Sawamura Eijun. Even in their own team, they already intend to extend an invitation to Sawamura.
It's just that Sawamura Eijun has only entered high school for half a year, and there are still two and a half years before graduation.
Two years have too many variables, and extending an invitation to Sawamura Eijun right now may not be a good choice! So they unanimously chose to wait, at least until Sawamura entered the second grade.
But after seeing this bunt, they were not calm.
"The boy is still too impulsive!"
"As a player, this choice is too unmotivated."
"How can you choose such a dull approach as a high school player anyway?"
Everyone scoured their mind and thought about some words to criticize Sawamura.
After thinking about it for a long time, these two sentences are still there.
As they said, their own faces were flushed with embarrassment. Even they themselves do not believe the nonsense that they say.
At the same time, they were all on their mobile phones, quietly sending text messages to their management.
The content of the text messages is similar, and its core meaning is only one.
'Contact Seidou and Sawamura as soon as possible!'
The performance of Sawamura's bunt just now made them very excited. For high school players, Sawamura's approach may not necessarily get a good evaluation.
But for a professional team, a player who knows how to read the game situation is worth a shit ton of money.
Of course, this wasn't what they valued most about Sawamura.
Professional teams are also profit-seeking! They want to make more and more money, or from where will they have all that money to pay their player and staff?
Sawamura's interaction with the audience just after his bunt was caught and he was Out.
This is the real reason why these scouts are so excited.
They keenly discovered that a super cash mine appeared in front of their eyes.
"This is the Beckham of baseball!"
He has enough popularity and has a fan base…
Even if there is no actual verification, these professional baseball scouts clearly know that Sawamura must have a strong ability to attract money.
Later, after their teams' investigation, these scouts were surprised to find that the pattern they originally imagined was too small.
What is the use of waiting until he enters the professional baseball team? Sawamura's ability to attract business money now exceeds that of the vast majority of professional baseball players.
