Chapter 74: Cheetah-sama!
Ping!
“FOUL!”
When Kuramochi hit the ball out of bounds again, Sanjo’s brows furrowed subconsciously.
‘This guy is much more difficult than I imagined!’
‘When I was collecting data before, I never saw that Kuramochi had such a strong insight.’
He can easily distinguish between Strikes and Balls pitched by Ito in 145 kilometers? (A/N: Mainly because Ito’s ball control is not good, the Strikes and the Balls are not particularly difficult to distinguish. Another thing is that Kuramochi’s insight is indeed terrifying. In the original manga, he also had insight into the speed of Narumiya’s ball as high as 148 kilometers. Ball or Strike.)
Two Strikes, three Balls, full count.
So far, Kuramochi has been entangled with them for seven Pitches.
‘Is this how you want to do it?’
The Battery were frim in their mind, and they originally planned to stay to deal with the batter using the normal Straight, but they had to take out their weapons in advance.
‘Go for it, a low Slider!’
‘With your ball speed and power, as long as you hit the strike zone, no one can hit the ball.’
On the pitcher's mound, Ito smiled stupidly. This silly smile was exactly the same as the beautiful reporter he had seen before.
‘That’s how it is, that’s how it is!!!’
‘Here, with my best ball, I will defeat everyone.’
‘There is nothing you can’t do, Ito. trust yourself!!’
Whoosh!
The pitch like a thunderstorm passed over the top of the plate with strong pressure.
On the strike zone, Kuramochi bit his lip and finally controlled his urge to swing.
SNAP!
“BALL!”
“Walk to base!”
This result was too embarrassing.
The Catcher, Sanjo. the Pitcher, Ito, both of them were embarrassed.
‘If that ball hit the strike zone, it would be really good. But if you can’t hit the strike zone, everything is useless.’
The Catcher, Sanjo looked at Kuramochi, who was on first base, and complained in his mind.
After Kuramochi went to the base, the threat level increased a hundredfold!
Of course, this is only one aspect. The most important thing is that Seidou’s batter was completely unaffected by Ito’s pitching momentum. When most people see Ito’s winning shot, they don’t think much about it at all and just swing the bat.
But when Kuramochi saw that kind of ball for the first time, he even held back his bat!
If Seidou were all batters of this level, then it would be very difficult for them to fight in the next game.
No Outs, runner at first base.
“Good eyes, Kuramochi!”
“Nice job!”
Seidou’s rest area.
Miyuki pushed up his glasses and said to himself, ‘This guy really has good insight. If he has patience, he can be very powerful’
“Have you gained experience by fighting?”
Sawamura looked at Kuramochi with a bitter look on his face.
Suddenly, he felt a malicious look at him from the first base.
“I can hear you.”
Sawamura’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Cheetah-sama, you are Cheetah-sama of Seidou!!! From today, you are my idol.”
Sawamura stood up shamelessly and cheered Kuramochi.
“It’s too shameless, isn’t it?”
Miyuki looked disgusted.
Does Kuramochi’s hit just now have anything to do with his speed?
Sawamura immediately glared back fiercely. He also knew it was naive to do so, but he couldn’t help it.
Turning around, Sawamura gave Kuramochi a thumbs up, indicating that he did a great job, perfect.
At this time, Kuramochi’s face looked a little better.
“Second Batter, second baseman, Kominato-kun.”
While Sawamura was playing around, Kominato Ryosuke went to the strike zone.
Seeing Ryosuke, Sanjo felt like his brain was about to crack.
When collecting information on Seidou before, Kominato Ryosuke was his most troublesome Batter. If the game hadn’t just started, he would have wanted to Walk Kominato Ryosuke directly.
Ito himself is not stable with the ball, Once the four Balls are thrown, the ball control becomes even more problematic.
At this time, Kuramochi had already chosen the walk. If Kominato Ryosuke also chose the four Ball, the consequences would be unimaginable…
Taking another look at Ryosuke Kominato, Ito saw that the other party was short in stature, and according to the data collected, he was not a powerful Batter either.
In this case, even if it is some easy balls, he may not hit it long.
And if he throws a sweet ball near the center, it is not easy to hit out of bounds.
Um!
With a determined heart, Sanjo gave his sign to Ito a Straight ball to the center.
Ito’s ball control is also unstable, and he may not be able to throw the ball in the center…
Secretly comforting himself, Sanjo put out his gloves, ready to catch the ball.
“hee-hee!”
On the pitcher's mound, Ito smirked, and then his eyes became crazy.
This ball, it doesn’t matter if it is sweeter, the most important thing is to throw all the power you can into the ball.
‘Be faster and fiercer!!!’
Whoosh!
As if the strength of his whole body was condensed on the fingers of his pitching hand, Ito pitched the ball.
The white ball, like a falling meteorite, flew above the home plate with great momentum.
On the strike zone, Kominato Ryosuke showed a devilish smile on his face.
Kuramochi chose the four Balls. At this time, to adjust the pitcher’s mentality, the first ball should be a Strike with a more comfortable position.
‘Do you think I can’t hit it out?’
‘I’m sorry, although my figure is still developing, my strength is not bad.’ (Actually, it’s no longer developing!)
Ping!
The white ball was hit, and the corner of Kominato Ryosuke’s mouth had a cold smile.
Throwing such a sweet ball out against him is really courting death.
Sanjo in the catcher’s position looked very embarrassed. ‘How could the ball path be so bad this time?’
‘Pitch anywhere but the center and you don’t Pitch anywhere but the center.’
After the ball was hit, it landed on the side of first base and flew out, forming a long hit. (Behind first base is a defensive gap.)
Ryosuke went to first base, Kuramochi advanced to second base and ran to third base without stopping.
“Pass third base!”
After the outfielder stops the ball, he prepares to pass third base. But there was still time, and Kuramochi was already approaching third base!
“hateful!”
The outfielder had no choice but to pass second base first, preventing Ryosuke Kominato from crossing first base and hitting second base.
Kuramochi glanced at the opponent’s outfielder out of the corner of his eyes, his body froze for a moment, and without any hesitation in his heart, he directly crossed third base and headed straight for home plate.
“Pass home plate!”
Sanjo, who had been paying attention to Kuramochi, shouted with a shocked expression.
‘What?’
When the outfielder heard it, he was stunned for a moment before seeing Kuramochi running to home plate.
‘Are you kidding me?’
He was shocked at the moment, thinking that Kuramochi was being greedy.
‘Since you want to be shut out, then I will fulfill your wish.’
Whoosh!
Pass to home plate.
SNAP!
The baseball drilled into Sanjo’s glove.
Almost at the same time, Kuramochi also stepped on the base of the home plate with one foot.
So fast! The speed of a cheetah. From first base, over second base, third base, back to home plate.
Before Narita’s players could react, Kuramochi had returned to home plate and helped Seidou score the first point.
Total score 0:1!
