NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42: BOSS!
Chapter 42: BOSS!
As the saying goes, boxing needs a healthy fist, and singing needs a clear voice!
Whether it was for sports, or something else. As long as there is no serious contact for a long time, it is difficult for a person to maintain a peak state.
Don’t look at these Players in the third grade of Seidou High School, they are all trained by Kataoka. But Kataoka’s own strength, especially his current strength, is not necessarily that strong.
Miyuki gave Sawamura a sign, don’t underestimate the strength of the Coach, and be careful when pitching.
Even so, Miyuki himself does not think that Kataoka, who has retired from the college baseball team for six years, can hit Sawamura’s Pitch easily. The players of Seidou High School practice swinging every day because they have to rely on their own performance to climb up. To represent the team in the games, to win, many students even think about relying on the bat in their hands to get food in the future.
In this way, even if there is no one to supervise them, they practice swinging the bat every day. The bat is like their own hands and feet to them.
Although Kataoka is also instructing everyone to train, he has retired and is now a Coach and does not need to practice swinging every day. He doesn’t have to play, so what’s the point of swinging every day?
Swing practice is very boring!
Will people insist on doing a boring and meaningless thing?
Of course not!
So Miyuki was certain that if he was simply speaking of Strikeouts, Coach Kataoka would definitely be easier than Tetsu-san.
It’s even better that this is his first time standing in the Batting zone to hit Sawamura’s ball!
Combining these two aspects together, Kataoka has no chance of winning.
On the pitcher mound, Sawamura had the exact same idea.
Kataoka’s strength, pitching, and swinging, may still have a very powerful power, and even these aspects are not inferior to professional players. But his hand feel is definitely not as good as the Seidou Players who swing their bat every day.
In the face of such an opponent, it is not difficult to solve him.
The first ball: Change-up!
Because there is no information about Kataoka’s Batting, Miyuki’s match is also more casual.
On the pitcher’s mound, Sawamura also understood what Miyuki meant, was it nothing more than teasing the superintendent? The first ball is the Change-up outside of the zone, which Has a double-assault effect on the batter.
‘Okay, let’s do it!’
Sawamura still felt a bit bad, is it not bad to use bold Pitch calling to torment his own Coach?
On the pitcher’s mound, Sawamura’s aura was rising, his right leg was raised high, and then he slashed down like a battle axe. As the center of gravity shifted, he swung his arm like a whip and threw the ball out.
It was not until Sawamura pitched the ball that Kataoka saw Sawamura’s throwing spot.
On the Box, there was a hint of relief in the eyes wearing sunglasses.
Sure enough, standing in the Batting zone, this Form is different. Can’t even see where the ball is being dropped. Not to mention pitching, this form alone is also a very advantageous weapon.
‘Of course, it was taught by me!’
His heart was full of pride for 0.1 seconds, and then Kataoka’s expression changed. What was originally an iceberg turned into a sword that was about to be unsheathed.
Whoosh!
Sawamura’s pitch came stealthily, and Kataoka took the time to swing the bat decisively.
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew out high.
The ball flew over the dam, over the high wall, and into the campus of Seidou.
Home run!
A hit, a home run!!!
Everyone in the audience was sluggish at this moment, sluggish to the point of being motionless.
They have either had their turn against Sawamura or hit Sawamura’s Pitch, and have a clear understanding of the young Pitcher’s Change-up.
Such a ball will be directly hit a home run?
From the first time?
This…
“Okay, the result is out!”
The swing was successful, and Kataoka dropped the bat.
On the pitcher’s mound, Sawamura’s expression was like eating a fly, and the swing just now made him feel professional. A more mature and powerful professional swing than a Yuuki Tetsuya’s swing.
Kataoka Tesshin!
His strength is so terrifying.
If they had known this earlier if they had known that he was a batter who waited for the ball to enter his hand before swinging.
The underestimation of the enemy caused such a result, which Sawamura did not expect.
However, this is still a loss.
“I lost!”
Seeing Sawamura’s relieved smile, the rest of Seidou felt that Sawamura was more reliable and trustworthy.
Manager Ota was afraid that Sawamura’s self-confidence would be hit and rushed forward to comfort him.
“Don’t underestimate the Coach, he still retains the strength of a professional player!”
This is what Ota said with sincerity.
Sawamura himself also remembered many details of his previous life that he had overlooked.
Kataoka often swings the bat to guide everyone in training, and the swing itself is amazing. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Kataoka can support the fielding practice of all the main third-year players by himself.
He drilled all the main forces of the third grade to the point of paralysis by himself!
If he didn’t train regularly, how could his arms be able to handle it?
Kataoka has never faced off against a pitcher before. Not because he is afraid of his own shame but afraid of the pitcher’s collapse, right?
“BOSS!”
After Sawamura lost, he didn’t bother. Excitedly, he ran up and bowed to Kataoka to apologize.
“Sorry!”
After Sawamura saluted, he immediately said, “Let’s play another game!”
After being hit a home run, Sawamura’s eyes did not have any confusion but instead shone with light.
‘Like a kid who just learned to play baseball!’
Kataoka nodded: “The chance to fight is not something you decide, but you will have it. Have you forgotten what I said before?”
“No!”
“then run until dinner!”
“Yes!”
Sawamura ran towards the campus.
Looking at Sawamura’s back in the distance, a smile appeared on Kataoka’s mouth.
Then he looked behind him: “You guys go too!”
Isashiki muttered dissatisfiedly: “It’s not us who lost”
“Vacation canceled, extra training until the end of dinner, extra exercise, running. Do you still have questions?”
“No sir!!!”
When Kataoka showed his authority as a superintendent, Isashiki and the others had no doubts.
The third grade has gone.
Miyuki quietly hid in the bridge hole, ready to slip away.
“You go too!”
‘Sure enough~’
Miyuki left with a look of hopelessness on his face and followed the third-year seniors.
The sun was falling, and a group of people were running in circles outside the baseball field of Seidou High School.
Captain Yuuki, Isashiki, Kominato, Masuko, Miyuki, Chris, and the first-year Sawamura.
“What happened?”
“Why is that guy Sawamura running with the Senpais who are the main force of the first string?”
“Did we miss something”
On the field, there are also the training second and third-string students, who are watching those runners just like watching prehistoric dinosaurs.
This incident has many benefits for Sawamura. Not to mention the pitching, after being punished, his relationship with the seniors in the third grade has become close, which can be considered a win.
After today, Sawamura officially started his new career in the First String.
