Chapter 116: A Good Sandbag

"You're pretty good at controlling breaking balls now, but all your Breaking balls belong to the Straight ball system. This is still narrow, if you want to go further it's best to hone a kind of Breaking ball with a clear break in the ball path. If you have a course like that as your Winning Shot, then you can definitely go further in the future!"

Sawamura naturally has no reason not to listen to Chris-shisho's advice.

However, a breaking ball with a clear break in the ball path will inevitably require a change in the form and gripping techniques…

This is likely to affect Sawamura's Straight ball!

"It's hard!"

The difficulty of blending these two things together is high.

He was able to do something similar before going back to the past but this is too hard to do now and it could even abolish his current style altogether.

After Miyuki retired, Sawamura and Okumura tried something similar with Sawamura's Slider.

But they stopped because it was dangerous on Sawamura's Form and Fastball, and it was better for Sawamura to hone his catalog of breaking balls first before attempting anything else.

After all the things he had then was working, so Sawamura decided to forgo that and focus on what he had.

It was only in his two dark years in the Major League that Sawamura attempted that again.

It only worked because his body was already adapted to his pitching form and Fastball so he could do it.

But his current body is still young, maybe he can adapt faster because of his experience and memory,

But this is a REALY big gamble.

But if Sawamura can really do it, it will definitely be a good thing for him to improve his strength.

"I will think about this matter!"

Sawamura secretly made up his mind to hone a new Breaking ball.

After partnering with Chris-shisho, Sawamura immediately started partnering with Miyuki.

"This feeling is a bit irritating!"

As a member of the bench, Tanpa felt insulted.

The two most powerful catchers in the team, and maybe the whole high school, took turns to practice with Sawamura.

However, who is the starting catcher has not yet been determined. But Sawamura Eijun, the only Ace in the team, is a sure thing.

No matter who the catcher is, the last person standing on the pitcher mound of Seidou High School must be Sawamura!

This is why Chris and Miyuki are eager to catch for Sawamura.

As a senior in the third grade, he watched the Kohai of the first grade, being competed by the two catchers in the team.

Tanpa felt a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, it is not only Tanpa alone but also Furuya.

Although Miyauchi and Ono are also good catchers, they are obviously a notch lower compared with Chris and Miyuki.

Two of the best catchers, none of the three of them got a turn.

And Sawamura there alone took up two of them!

Although Furuya Satoru didn't say a word, the unpleasant aura on his body gushed Out.

"You too, huh?"

Tanpa seemed to understand Satoru's heart.

Furuya didn't know why and looked at the third-year senior.

"If you feel unwilling, just work hard to climb up. As long as you can become the Ace pitcher on the team, you will get the same treatment as Sawamura now."

Tanpa's words successfully gave Furuya a target.

He's going to be the Ace!

Despite already having the reason he really now aspires to be an Ace.

He had already planted such a seed in his heart.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki gave Sawamura a sign!

Finally, after all of this time, Sawamura was going to use it.

The Magic ball!

Unlike Chris-shisho's diligence, Miyuki's game-calling is always so daring.

Sawamura couldn't help laughing.

"Wahahaha, you really are a vampire!"

Miyuki's Game calling has always been squeezing pitchers to the limit.

He used strong lead to get pitchers to pitch better.

If the pitcher has enough capability, with Miyuki's cooperation, they will definitely complement each other. To achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

Of course, this kind of Game calling is not without any problems. If the pitcher is not tough enough, the pitcher is likely to collapse in the process of pitching.

Why are Miyuki and Tanpa bad partners?

In this regard, it accounts for a large proportion.

Miyuki is good with the strong-hearted pitchers!

Tanpa is sensitive and fragile because he has been thoroughly trained in Seidou, Tanpa has tough times and could grow mentally, but occasionally there are times when his mentality is weak.

When this inner fragility appears.

Cracks will naturally appear in the cooperation between Miyuki and Tanpa.

By contrast, when Chris is the catcher, there are not many cases where this result occurs.

"Just shut up and do it!"

"Hehe!"

Miyuki's request, of course, Sawamura will respond to him with 120%.

When Sawamura made his stride it deviated a little.

If a batter standing in the Box right now will feel that this pitch will be a Ball.

Miyuki too, even though he knew that Sawamura would throw the ball in the strike zone, Miyuki still felt that way when he saw Sawamura stride.

Whoosh!

Without any warning, a small white ball suddenly appeared.

Judging from the angle of the Pitching just now, Miyuki subconsciously pulled the Mitt out.

However, this is of no use!

The white ball flew in a diagonal line, not going out but inward.

Miyuki quickly pulled the Mitt back to the inner corner.

SNAP!

It was a pity that it was a step late, the white ball rubbed the Mitt and flew behind Miyuki.

Miyuki didn't catch it?

Sawamura's Magic ball, the kind that makes the Batter feel out of position, was practiced with Chris.

Forkball was practiced with Miyuki.

Speaking of which, Miyuki hasn't received this kind of Magic ball from Sawamura for a long time!

"I didn't expect to see it in just a month. Does this ball already look so scary?"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura asked with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

"At least in the first few innings, Inashiro will have a hard time getting your ball."

"How many innings?" Sawamura asked.

Sawamura had never used this kind of pitching formally before, and Inashiro could not have any information.

Next, let's look at this kind of ball. How many innings can it fool Inashiro Industrial?

If the number of innings is enough, Sawamura should have hope to completely stop Inashiro's lineup.

Listening to Sawamura's question Miyuki had no idea after.

He really can't judge this kind of thing.

'It's best to find a heavy enough Batter to try it out.'

In Seidou High School, there were quite a few batters of sufficient weight. But none of them were suitable to test Sawamura's Magic ball right now.

The finals are coming soon. Right now, it is not ideal for Sawamura Masako to fight with Captain Yuuki and the others.

Narumiya's strength is almost equal to that of Sawamura.

From this point of view, Sawamura is a very good test object.

But if the two sides really fight, the result of the game may directly affect the final.

If Captain Yuuki they can't take a hit or score from Sawamura.

That also means that it is difficult for them to conquer Narumiya Mei!

Such a blow to confidence will definitely affect the morale.

Likewise, if Sawamura's ball is hit again and again. The result is definitely not good!

Neither of these two outcomes is a good one.

Just when Miyuki hesitated, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The third-year seniors appeared in the bullpen around a huge figure.

"Hey, you kid really came to our school!"

The moment he saw Sawamura, Azuma Kiyokuni immediately showed a smile.

He was very happy that Sawamura could come to Seidou High School.

"Oh, Azuma-senpai!"

Sawamura happily and respectfully greeted Azuma.

"Talking politely now, not like you, huh?" Azuma laughed and Eijun laughed too.

In the catcher's position.

Miyuki looked at Azuma Kiyokuni, then turned to look at Sawamura, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an intriguing smile.

With Azuma-senpai being here, his thoughts finally had a suitable Sandba.. I mean opponent.

"Azuma-senpai, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Would you like to stand on the strike zone and watch this guy's pitching?"
