"I got it now!"
With Chris Out, Miyuki suddenly said in the rest area of Seidou High School.
"Got what?"
He spoke suddenly, and Kuramochi was taken aback.
"Seihou High School's plan!" Chris who had just returned, completed Miyuki's words.
Miyuki also looked at Chris happily, and suddenly there was a feeling of sympathy.
Chris exchanged with Sawamura while changing into the catcher's protective gear.
"The idea of Seihou High School is actually very simple…"
Before Chris could finish speaking, Sawamura said, "They want Akutsu to hit the base, and then use forced score to walk him back home."
"You knew already?" Chris said.
It makes Chris very pleased as the senpai that Sawamura can have such insight
Sawamura raised the corner of his mouth slightly, the strategy of Seihou High School was already obvious by looking at the next three batters he was going to face this inning.
The reason why everyone didn't think about it was because the strategy of Seihou High School was too bold and too crazy.
Let Akutsu hit a double, and then use a bunt walk to force score and get a run!
This strategy is undoubtedly very risky.
From the point of view of bystanders, it is hard to say whether Akutsu can take a hit from Sawamura. In the previous two at bat, although Akutsu hit it once, he was also solved once.
The duel between the two is at best a draw. Why does Akutsu feel confident that he can defeat the Maou?
And even if you get hit by a fluke, why do you think you can hit a second base, not a first? With a single base, there's simply no way you could have enough Outs for you to walk back home.
Not to mention, even if you get to second base, how can you guarantee that the bunt walks and forced score will be successful?
No one had guessed the tactics that Seihou High School was going to adopt, but considering the tiny success rate, they rejected it themselves.
Even if Seihou and Seidou were equal in strength, and Sawamura and Akutsu were on par, the success rate of this tactic was not high. First, can Akutsu get a hit from Sawamura? Yes or no, the probability is equal.
Next, the probability of Akutsu being first base or second base is 50/50. Can he make it to third base after second base? Can he reach home plate after third base?
The chances of a tactic being truly successful are 6.25%!
With such a probability, most people would not choose this, let alone the super-intelligent Akutsu.
It is because of this that the players of Seidou High School did not understand the intention of Seihou High School in the previous inning.
But in the first half of the seventh inning, Seihou High School had no other choice unless it was head-to-head. right now, Miyuki, Chris, and Sawamura all thought of this previously impossible tactic.
"Is there any countermeasure?"
Sawamura saw through the opponent's thoughts, and Chris saw through it too. Sawamura wanted to ask Chris to see if he had any good countermeasures.
"The best way, of course, is to Walk Akutsu and use a lowball to lure Sano."
As soon as Chris opened his mouth, he saw Sawamura's reluctance.
Obviously, the Walk did not suit Sawamura's rhythm.
Chris sighed inwardly. On the surface, Sawamura seems to be very easy-going, and he is willing to listen to his and Miyuki's calling when pitching.
But in fact, Sawamura's heart is also very brave. It's harder to make this guy take a step back than he looked.
Chris even suspected that Sawamura would not run away from any batter, let alone Akutsu.
'It seems that the best strategy is not in the options.'
In fact, this strategy is the one that can most shake the tactics of Seihou High School. For the time being, no matter how they want to implement the plan, the strategy of forcing Akutsu to get points by walking Akutsu to first base and the opponent's bunt walk is definitely not feasible.
In that case, Sano would have no choice but to confront Sawamura.
It is not particularly difficult to take down Sano, or even get a double play.
There is also the possibility of Akutsu using the focus of the battery on Sano to steal a base if he is Walked to first base, but that will increase the risks because both Sawamura and Chris are good at containment.
Of course, if you look at this issue from Sawamura's standpoint right now, there is no reason for him to give Seihou a base!
'Maybe Akutsu saw through that and did this.'
'I always thought that the opponent was going to play some kind of conspiracy, but I didn't expect that people would not bother to hide it at all. They were playing an upright conspiracy.'
In the first half of the seventh inning, Seihou High School attacked.
"Third Batter, pitcher, Akutsu-kun."
"The key to the game is here!"
In the stands, a man with a shaggy-looking beard muttered.
There are tens of thousands of viewers in the stands right now, but not many people can really understand this.
They have no idea what kind of exciting confrontation will happen on the field in the next two minutes!
"The plan was successful!"
Akutsu walked slowly to the strike zone, and every next step had been calculated many times in his mind.
'Although the probability of winning the score is not very high, if everything goes his way, I still have a good chance of getting back to home plate.'
right now, the battery of Seidou High School has probably realized their intention for switching the first batter before…
'What are you going to do next, are you sensible to walk me, or do you have any other plans?'
Thinking about it, the corners of Akutsu's own mouth couldn't help but rise.
He enjoys this kind of confrontation very much, it's like facing unsolvable exercises in the exam room.
Originally, he couldn't keep doing this question because there was a time limit.
But now, he has successfully transformed his role from the examinee to the examiner.
Next, he will look at the Catcher of Seidou High School, and see how will he solve this problem.
"No matter what you do, the final victory will belong to me!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's face was calm.
But his mind wasn't like that. Sawamura's intuition was flaring, telling him that the ball he threw would be hit.
This can't be explained by reason, it's just the intuition he had refined over the years from high school to the MLB.
People who are good at some thing or have done something for a long time will feel this way. Even if you don't play baseball or basketball, sometimes there will be such a feeling that something is wrong or you didn't do something right, even if you don't know what is it, sometimes there is a premonition.
Sawamura now has a hunch that the ball is going to be hit.
At the same time that Sawamura had the premonition, Chris' sign also arrived.
