Chapter 33: The Stadium in His Mind!
The Yuuki Tetsuya standing in the strike zone gave a very terrifying feeling.
When he went to the main base, Tetsuya’s state was different altogether!
‘come on~’
‘bring it on!!!’
Now, he was like a beast ready to be unleashed, with a very strong aura of danger.
‘You are a Senpai, take it easy!’
Miyuki Kazuya was a little flabbergasted, Tetsu-san didn’t look like he was playing against the junior of the same team at all, but it looked like he was playing an official game.
‘Is Sawamura already an equal opponent in the eyes of Tetsu-san?’
‘If so, what did Sawamura think?’
Thinking about it, the Catcher turned his attention to his partner.
On the pitcher’s mound, the pitcher’s spirit was very calm, and the calmness was a bit unlike the Sawamura Eijun Miyuki remembered.
He stood there like a big mountain, making people look up to the mountain.
A mountain is not as sharp as a sword, but its calmness is something that a sword cannot possess. If the momentum of Tetsuya is just terrifying, the current Sawamura’s momentum is even more terrifying.
After more than ten years of professional training, once Sawamura gets serious, the sense of domination he brings to others is like a tsunami.
Facing the roar of the mountains, the Yuuki Tetsuya stood in the strike zone, motionless.
He was like a piece of granite, firmly nailed there, not affected by the violent storm but remained motionless.
‘Strong!’
This is the feeling Sawamura missed very much.
Eijun felt a real threat from Tetsuya, an equally existing danger.
‘This is a Strong Batter!’
It is not the seedlings of Strong Batter, not the potential of a Strong Batter, but the current Yuuki Tetsuya already has the strength of a Strong Batter!
It’s too difficult to get a Strike Out from this Batter!
With Sawamura’s current physical fitness, there is no need to think about it at all. His ball speed, ball power, and Break are simply not up to the ability to Strike Him Out.
Of course, if the catcher and pitcher work well together, Strikeouts are not entirely impossible. But the probability is too small and too risky, Sawamura does not want to choose.
‘To win!’
Sawamura’s will was successfully passed on to Miyuki.
‘The pressure is huge!’
Get rid of Tetsu-san, fortunately, Sawamura didn’t give him the task of striking out at this time, otherwise, he would probably go on strike.
If you simply want to solve the young Captain, it is not impossible, although it is very troublesome.
But to get rid of these troubles, isn’t it the catcher’s job?
Then the first ball: Change-up!
Seeing Miyuki’s match, the cells in Sawamura’s body couldn’t help beating.
When they played against Chris just now, wasn’t this the Pitch that was hit, a Change-up?
Isn’t it crazy to throw a Change-up now?
Miyuki’s attitude was very firm.
Generally speaking, the path of the ball that has just been hit is equivalent to being temporarily sealed. In a short time, it is difficult for the pitcher to throw the ball that has just been hit.
It is precisely for this reason that the change-up is the most unexpected to the seniors.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura’s eyes were extremely excited.
Chris and Miyuki are always so aggressive.
Change-up!
Sawamura threw his first ball with vigor.
Whoosh!
Leg lift, stride, weight shifts, glove shield, arm swings, all of which are the same as on a Straight ball.
In the face of Sawamura’s ball, the Batter ended up swinging the bat.
Ping!
As the bat was about to approach the baseball, the baseball fled in the direction of the outer corner and was hit and flew out of bounds.
“FOUL!”
The Catcher, Miyuki, let out a long breath.
The Pitcher, Sawamura, also felt that the ball was a good Pitch and showed the Change-up perfectly. Otherwise, it is likely to be swept out just now.
No Ball, One Strike, Sawamura is temporarily leading.
At this time, Miyuki’s second sign came.
Normal Straight ball, Inside corner, a Ball. The ball needs to be close to the strike zone!
On the mound, Sawamura nodded.
With his ball control, it’s not impossible to do that.
Moreover, with ordinary Straight balls, he can do it more realistically.
The same leg lift, the same arm swing, the same masking action.
However, Sawamura’s stride was slightly off.
Whoosh!
The white ball flew towards the top of the plate like a Beam.
On the strike zone, Yuuki Tetsuya faced the ball, and without hesitation, he swung the bat directly.
Ping!
The hit baseball fell to the ground.
PAK!
The ball is so fast and with momentum, even if there is a defense, it will be too late to react.
A clean swing.
The Referee, Isashiki, said, “Hit!”
What?
Sawamura looked up at Isashiki in disbelief. The ball just now was probably out of bounds. A foul ball that flew off the outside of the sideline!
Miyuki also had a surprised expression on his face.
He also believes that the ball is definitely out of bounds.
Then when they looked up, they were randomly a little speechless.
The sound of the rushing water of the small river came, from the riverside to the dam to the outer wall of Seidou High School, where there was a sideline.
In this way, the ball should be flying close to the line. You can say it is in bounds, and it is okay to say it is out of bounds. There is not even a home plate, and there is no way to judge the line.
“This ball can be considered a Foul, let’s continue!”
The aura on Yuuki's body continued to rise, and his eyes were firmly locked on Sawamura.
“No, no need, I lost this round!”
Sawamura’s eyes sank.
With his more than ten years of experience, he was so negligent that he even forgot the surrounding environment. In this match, he lost.
From the moment he made up his mind that he was going to rely on the defense to get his Outs, he had already lost.
In this game, there is no defense, unless it is an obvious high-flying ball, grounding, or all the blows, it is difficult to say that you have won.
“Let’s start the third round, Chris-senpai, don’t you want to exchange information, I also want to rest.”
After speaking, Sawamura left alone, sat by the small river, and looked at the slowly flowing river without saying a word.
Miyuki followed.
“What’s the matter, partner?”
Sawamura glanced at him and said nothing.
“You won’t be annoyed by the showdown just now, will you?”
Miyuki asked with a smile. Seeing that Sawamura didn’t speak, he took the initiative to say, “Don’t be too harsh on yourself. We just made a decision together. Ask yourself in your heart whether the ball was Foul…”
“I get it!”
Sawamura rolled his eyes at him: “I’m thinking about the third round.”
This matchup has benefited Sawamura a lot. To a large extent, he understands his current limits and the direction he needs to work hard in the future.
But it’s not enough just to gain, and he has to win this match.
Two rounds, one to one!
In the third round, Chris-senpai said that he would share his information with the seniors.
What would he share?
…
