Chapter 47: He’s Here!
Two Outs, no one on base.
At this time, it was Miyuki’s turn to strike.
In the surrounding stands, the voices cheering for Yokohama have not yet dissipated.
Beautiful! The defensive action just now is so beautiful!
In contrast, today’s Seidou’s luck is not very good.
Miyuki went to the Box, and Sawamura was getting ready to follow him.
In the dugout of Seidou.
In Furuya’s mind, he kept thinking about what Sawamura just said.
“How is this possible?”
Seeing that there was no successful base stealing, Furuya subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice.
“Nothing is impossible”
Sawamura heard it next to him and told him with a chuckle: “Do you know how the players from the powerhouse train? They will strengthen their training for all situations that will occur on the baseball field. And with the players in Yokohama, the third-grade account for the vast majority of their number. which means that they have been together for more than two years, and they are familiar with each other. All situations are rehearsed, and reactions will naturally form after a lot of hard work. Also, pay attention to your own fielding stats compared to these players in high school in some respects. Don’t underestimate high school baseball, boy.”
‘High school baseball, was this deep?’
Furuya had a vague idea but never had a clear concept.
You really have to play baseball to experience it!
Ping!
Miyuki hit the ball with a bat, and the baseball bounced in front of the pitcher and was caught by Ino.
“OUT!”
Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.
At the end of the two Innings, the two sides actually scored 0-0.
A fierce collision between giants turned into a pitcher duel of equal strength. It is not difficult to see that the pitchers of the two teams are excellent today.
In the first half of the third inning, Yokohama-North attacked.
This time it was Yokohama’s bottom of the line.
Before playing, Miyuki purposefully talked with Tanpa.
“The opponent is a famous school. Even if it is the last of the lineup, no batter will be easy to deal with. Be careful.”
Tanpa rolled his eyes at Miyuki: “This is what I want to tell you.”
Both of them are very cautious, even in the face of Yokohama’s bottom lineup, the two also completed the defense excellently. Except for the eighth batter, the other batters were dealt with easily in turn.
Three Outs, offense, and defense exchange.
Although he lost a hit, overall, Tanpa’s performance in the first three innings was perfect.
Calm, staple, and pitched sharply!
In this way, the game came to the second half of the third inning, and Seidou High School attacked.
“Seventh, left fielder, Sawamura-kun.”
Seeing Sawamura walking into the strike area, the commentator took the opportunity to joke a few words: “I have to say, Sawamura is really a good surname. I remember that there was also a Norimura in the Yokohama team. But don’t get me wrong, they are not The famous ‘Demon-King’.”
After making a joke, the Commentator was talkative, glanced at Sawamura’s information, and continued.
“This Sawamura Eijun-kun is a freshman who just joined Seidou this year. He is 176 cm tall and weighs 70 kg. He graduated from Akagi Middle School in Nagano Prefecture….”
Silence...
The commentator was speechless. He looked at the assistant who was sorting out the materials for him in shock and was speechless when he pointed to Sawamura’s materials.
“What’s the matter?”
“Don’t you know him?”
“Who?”
The commentator rolled his eyes, and then, he trembled with excitement.
‘The Demon-King, Sawamura Eijun’s first match in high school!’
It is conceivable that after the video of this game is uploaded to the Internet, it will definitely cause an uproar. As the commentator of Sawamura’s first official game, that is himself.
Isn’t this his chance to be famous?
Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
After calming down, the Commentator’s voice suddenly increased by a lot.
“ladies and gentlemen, let’s get to know this batter again. He is a player from Akagi Middle School in Nagano Prefecture, Sawamura Eijun.”
The thoughts of the commentator are going back and forth, and on the field, the duel between Sawamura and the Battery has begun.
Facing Seidou’s lower line, especially the first-year Batter, Yokohama’s catcher Haku and pitcher Ino subconsciously relaxed a level of vigilance. As it is known, it is difficult for a pitcher to stay focused on every Pitch and keep giving his best.
A person is hindered by the spirit and the physical strength and body of the pitcher. (Referring to the Ace throwing the whole match.)
Although it is not good to relax his vigilance, but high school Aces have to complete the match, which is their duty.
So when facing Sawamura, their concentration dropped by a level.
‘The opponent is a freshman with an unknown strength. Give him a slightly sweeter way to tempt him to swing.’
Haku thought for a while and gave Ino a sign.
Ino nodded.
The two communicated properly and began to signal the fielders to be ready.
With everything in place, they started targeting Sawamura.
Even in the face of a first-year freshman like Sawamura, Yokohama didn’t really let down his guard.
This is the foundation of the defense of the big teams!
A careless fielders team cannot become a real ‘iron wall’.
The “iron wall” of Yokohama-North High School was developed through such meticulous training.
It sounds complicated, but in fact, this is just an operation completed in an instant. They have cooperated too many times, and practice makes perfect.
At this time, the commentator was still immersed in the shock of knowing Sawamura’s name.
When he came back to his senses, Yokohama’s Ace, Ino, had already thrown the ball.
On the Batting zone, Sawamura watched the approaching baseball with excitement flashing in his eyes.
The speed of the ball is just right, the power of the ball is not strong, the control of the ball is perfect, and there is no break!
This is a fishing ball, that is, the ball that is thrown for you to swing, because it is comfortable to hit, so the position of the ball is also comfortable.
But If it was hit, the ball would land on the side of third base!
Looking around, both shortstop and third baseman have changed their fielding positions.
‘Really not bad!’
From the perspective of Sawamura’s professional level, Yokohama’s response is also very good. For a batter who doesn’t have the power-forcing skills, this kind of pitching and fielding should be enough.
It’s a pity, although he is not a power batter, but such a pitch is easy for him. In particular, such an ordinary and simple ball is simply Sawamura’s favorite ball to hit.
The bat shook, and Sawamura swung.
Ping!
After the small white ball was smashed, it did not land on the side of the third base of Yokohama, but on the first base side. Between the first and second basemen.
After hitting the ball, Sawamura threw away his bat and ran forward.
At this time, the commentator announced the information of Sawamura.
“That’s right, you heard it right. The player who is attacking now is Sawamura Eijun from Akagi Middle School. It is the ‘Demon-King’ who just entered high school this year. Some people speculated on the whereabouts of Sawamura-kun, because there is no news, so it has always been a mystery, and now the mystery is solved.”
The next day, three large characters were printed on the advertising homepage of the official website of the Kanto Tournament.
He’s Here!
