Chapter 31: Round 2 begins
Just that Pitch!
Tetsuya’s pupils dilated a little, and the ball that Sawamura had just thrown constantly appeared in his mind.
That ball is a Straight Fastball, a Straight Fastball with a new Form.
The Fastball Pitch itself is particularly fast because the difference between the initial speed and the speed after entering the plate is very small. In addition, there is no sight of the launching point, and Sawamura’s ball speed is approaching 140km/h.
From the batter’s point of view, this ball is even more amazing than a 150-km/h pitch.
It doesn’t mean that a Straight ball of 150 km/h cannot be hit. It’s just that he didn’t expect that Sawamura’s Pitch would be so fast!
“No one can hit this kind of ball after seeing it for the first time!”
With such a judgment, the young Captain doesn’t dwell on it.
With the pitching ability Sawamura showed before, they never thought of defeating Sawamura in the first round. In the first round of attack, the most important task is actually to gather intelligence. In this respect alone, the third grade gained a lot in the first round.
“Let’s watch the second round!”
At the beginning of the second round, Isashiki Jun put on the equipment of Miyuki Kazuya.
“Isn’t Senior Chris the referee?”
Miyuki asked curiously.
“Kozoh, where did you get so much nonsense? Just do what the Senpai says.”
Isashiki said angrily.
Let Chris be the referee, do you think they are fools? At this time, of course, Chris, the big man, should be put on the field.
Chris’s understanding of the strength of these teammates in the third grade is limited. Because he has spent most of the past year in rehab. For the past three months, he has been in the United States.
Even so, Chris and Sawamura managed to get three outs without much effort.
Not to mention Miyuki who understands their strength!
Chris didn’t have time to observe them because of his recovery, but Miyuki was different. As long as he had time, Miyuki never relaxed his observation of them.
Even if Isashiki didn’t enjoy seeing Miyuki normally, he had to admit Miyuki’s talent and skills as a Catcher. If it was Miyuki with the Pitch calling, he would probably be easily solved, as did Masuko.
After all, in the final analysis, their blows are not as comprehensive as Tetsu and Ryosuke!
The Pitcher was Sawamura, and the Catcher was Miyuki who was familiar with them. Even Isashiki didn’t think he had much chance of hitting.
In that case, it’s better to leave the opportunity to Chris, who is all unknown!
In the second round, the first batter was Kominato Ryosuke, who has remained unchanged for years. And then the second batter is Chris, and the third Batter is Yuuki.
After deciding the order of batters, Ryosuke stood in the Batting zone for the second time.
“The first Batter that can’t be beaten!”
After standing in the strike zone, Kominato Ryosuke muttered to himself.
Miyuki squatted in the position of the catcher, and when he heard Kominato’s words, he couldn’t help laughing.
Yes, in the current arrangement of the third grade, it is very suitable for Ryosuke to play the first Batter. With his Batting skills, it is not easy to solve him. And once you get entangled with him, maybe more information will be leaked.
In this case, the best way is to shut him out.
‘Then let’s be a bit tough!’
‘The first ball, a Straight Fastball to the inner corner!’
The fastest ball speed, and the strongest ball power, suppress Kominato Ryosuke’s flexible batting skills.
Miyuki’s strategy is very simple and rude!
He had confidence in Sawamura’s pitching, and when he was the referee, he had just seen Sawamura settle the final pitch from behind the catcher. With the speed and power of the ball, it was no problem to win Ryosuke, who was seeing this kind of ball for the first time.
On the pitcher’s mound, seeing Miyuki’s call, Sawamura was inexplicably energetic.
Whether it’s Chris or Miyuki, when they’re the catcher, they all can make the pitcher’s fighting spirit very high.
Crush Ryosuke with a tough pitch!
Just thinking about it, Sawamura was very excited.
So exciting!
His right foot was raised high, and then he stepped out fiercely like a battle axe, followed by his right glove covering his body, and then his chest…
From the batter’s point of view, Sawamura’s pitching momentum is very scary, and the strange thing is that such a strange pitching form makes people unable to see the ball.
“What a troublesome guy!”
Not counting the ever-changing balls of Sawamura, just his pitching form is enough to deceive people.
Whoosh!
The baseball was shot at a frightening speed, but it flew into Miyuki’s open glove in the blink of an eye.
“Tsk! STRIKE!!” Although Isashiki’s voice was full of dissatisfaction, he said it truthfully.
On the strike zone, a weird expression appeared on Kominato Ryosuke’s face.
Who can tell him what happened to the ball just now?
From his point of view, the ball should have at least 150 kilometers. It’s not that Ryosuke has no basis for nonsense, there are still several top pitching machines in Seidou High School, and they have all seen the fastest ball speed of 160 kilometers.
160, 155, 150…
These ball speeds must be seen, which is a small benefit of the first string.
Of course, you don’t have to hit the ball like this, at least you won’t be too surprised by the speed of the opponent’s ball. I’ve seen 160km, and then I’ve seen 150km. Although I can’t hit it, I feel that the speed is average.
For balls of 150km and below, you need to practice hitting and catching. (The catcher has to catch, and the Batter has to hit.)
This is the real reason why the Powerhouses are so powerful.
Or you let some of the fastest batters who have only ever seen 134 km pitches suddenly go against 150 km pitches. Unless they are all talented, maybe they can hit it there.
‘Could Sawamura’s ball speed be 150?’
Don’t think about it, Ryosuke also knows that it is impossible. But it seems that the ball is 150km/h, how do you get it?
“This is hard to do!”
Just when Kominato Ryosuke was a little embarrassed, Sawamura’s second Pitch came.
Whoosh!
The same form, the same position!
Kominato can only choose to entangle, hold the bat short, and greet the ball out of bounds.
Ping!
He swung the bat ahead of time, and he seized the opportunity to swing the bat, but the ball was so heavy and terrifyingly heavy.
Although Ryosuke barely kept up with the swing, he couldn’t get the ball out of bounds, and could only hit a limp grounder forward to the mound.
Sawamura picked up the ball very easily and made a pass to first base.
“OUT!”
In the second round of confrontation, Sawamura solved Kominato Ryosuke, who had very comprehensive Batting skills, with two Pitches.
The strength he showed was unstoppable.
“Very good!”
Miyuki is also very excited, and what excites him the most is the next batter.
Chris Yu!
