Chapter 78: Explosion!!
“Amazing!”
The stands are cheering and watching the fun, just from seeing Tanpa’s excellent pitching.
After all, Tanpa can suppress Narita, who is not weak, to this extent, and his pitching performance is naturally good.
But the real expert will not be attracted by these appearances alone. They will focus more on the catcher who replaced Miyuki.
Chris!
This Catcher, when he was on the field, was no worse than Miyuki and even showed another kind of skills.
The appeal is equally eye-catching.
If a Catcher like Miyuki was substituted, there must be many people who would criticize. Once the catcher from the bench does not perform well, he will be criticized like a storm.
In the most stable position in the team, and you make blind substitutions, isn’t it a joke? It’s fine if he wins, but if he loses, the spit can drown Kataoka.
But so far, no one at the scene has raised objections.
This also means that Chris has completely replaced Miyuki’s position so far.
“It’s amazing!”
Many reporters firmly remember the name Takigawa Chris Yu.
They have realized that this will be a very attractive big news.
In the second half of the second inning, Seidou High School attacked.
The Narita Industrial, which suffered successive blows, began to cheer up. Especially their Ace pitcher, Ito.
The control of the ball began to stabilize, and the number of Outs was successively won.
Although the speed of the ball decreased slightly, the control of the ball was greatly improved.
With the increase of Strikes, Ito’s pitching gradually entered the zone, and the power and speed of the ball also came out.
He finally began to show the strength of a Famous school Ace pitcher.
In the second inning, Shiratsu hit an infield grounder and was blocked out. Kuramochi was struck out by a sudden low Slider after hitting Fouls.
two Outs, and No one on base.
Kuramochi, who was struck out, met Kominato Ryosuke.
“His low Sliders are hard to handle!”
Kuramochi frowned and shared information with Ryosuke.
“It doesn’t matter, you can force that kind of ball out, it’s already very good.”
Ryosuke said with a smile.
Seeing Ryosuke walking into the strike zone, the nerves in Sanjo’s body subconsciously began to tighten.
‘This is the hardest Batter to deal with.’
If it wasn’t the second inning just now, Sanjo would even want Ito to use a low Slider to Strikeout Kominato. It’s just that the game has just started. If he does that, in the second half of the game, Seidou’s batters will gradually get used to Ito’s low Slider.
Then they have no hope at all!
‘Just use the power of the ball to suppress him. The position of the ball cannot be too sweet. If it is too sweet, it will also be smashed out. Regardless of his petite figure, he still has strength.’
On the pitcher's mound, Ito nodded and pitched the ball.
Whoosh!
A small white ball flew out.
At this time, Kominato Ryosuke also had his plans.
‘The Breaking-ball that has high expectations is difficult to hit. Otherwise, there will be no high expectations.’
‘But not necessarily, do I have to hit your winning shot?’
The corner of Kominato Ryosuke’s mouth brought out a cold smile.
‘Although it is good to choose four Ball, right now, I still want to hit the ball with your confidence.’
Coming!
Just when Kominato made up his mind, Ito’s pitch came, and the ball landed just below the center.
Is this a Slider or a normal Straight?
It’s a Straight!
After Ryosuke Kominato confirmed it, he decisively swung the bat.
Ping!
The white ball was thrown and landed in front of the third baseman.
The third baseman of Narita Industries opened his glove and confiscated the ball.
“OUT!”
Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.
In the second game, the defense of Narita Industrial performed very well.
In the first half of the third inning, Narita Industrial attacked.
In the face of Narita’s lower lineup, Tanpa beautifully scored two Strikeouts and a Shutout.
At this time, the abilities of Chris also came out.
On the surface, both Chris and Miyuki can guide the pitcher to a better state, and the two are similar. But it’s not the same. Miyuki’s pitch calling is a bit like squeezing toothpaste. Through constant squeezing, the pitcher can explode his strength.
On the surface, Miyuki seemed to be assisting, but in fact, he is also taking the initiative to a certain extent.
Of course, this is good and bad. If the pitcher can keep up with Miyuki’s rhythm, then the two of them will be able to explode with the strength of one plus one greater than two!
And if the pitcher can’t keep up with the rhythm, Miyuki has to accommodate the pitcher and change his calling.
Overall, Miyuki is a strong catcher. The stronger the pitcher, the stronger he can play.
As for Chris, on the surface, he is stricter than Miyuki, but he plays with the batter and pays attention to conditioning things silently. His guidance allows pitchers to unconsciously display their strengths.
He will consciously adjust his pitch calling according to the state of the pitcher.
Of these two, it cannot be said who is stronger and who is weaker, it can only be said that each has his own advantages.
In the second half of the third inning, Seidou High School attacked.
In the face of Ito, who had recovered his strength, Isashiki took the lead with a hit, and then Tetsu got a walk.
When Sawamura took the zone, the situation was that no one was out, and there were runners at first and second base.
Faced with this situation, Sawamura aimed at Ito’s low Slider and swung his bat.
Ping!
An outfield long hit!
Isashiki ran straight back to home plate and Tetsu made it to third base, while Sawamura himself only went to first base. Because the outfielder was too close to second base, he didn’t need to take chances.
Compared with taking a risk to win a base, Sawamura judged that it is more meaningful to keep this number of Outs low.
Next, Masuko went to the strike zone and used a bunt to walk Tetsuya back to home plate to help the team score the sixth point.
The total score is 6:0!
One out, runner at second base!
Ping!
Chris hit a hit, Sawamura, who had arrived at second base after Masuko’s bunt, ran back to home plate in one breath, helping the team score the seventh point.
It’s not that Ito’s pitching is bad, and it’s not that Narita’s defense is really weak.
It’s just that they were completely suppressed by their opponents.
The third inning is over and the score is 7:0!
In the second round of the Kanto Tournament, Seidou High School’s lineup exploded.
In the stands, with a baseball team.
Mima looked at the Seidou High School baseball team on the field with a complicated expression.
He didn’t need to play the next game, even from the sidelines, he could feel the strength of Seidou High School.
Strong, a little too strong.
“It’s hard to imagine that such a Seidou hasn’t entered Koshien for five consecutive years.”
Besides Mima, a teammate said disbelievingly.
“This shows how terrifying the brutal battle zone West Tokyo is. Even if you have the strength, if you lack luck, it is not easy to get ahead. However, the teams that come out of this kind of place must have the strength to compete for the National hegemony. If we want to aim for National hegemony, then we must overcome this difficulty.”
At the end of the third inning, Seidou High School announced a substitution.
Pitchers, catchers, all substitutions!
