Chapter 140: I’m the Demon-King

When Narumiya hit the ball, he had a very bad feeling.

Now, his hunch has been confirmed!

Looking at the small white ball in Sawamura's Mitt, Narumiya felt that all his thoughts were lost.

"OUT!"

There is no suspense about this Out.

At the moment when Sawamura threw the ball, all kinds of breaks flashed in Narumiya's mind.

But he ignored that this center ball was probably a fishing ball.

"Damn, I'm so pissed off! You even played me like this!"

Narumiya was born with extraordinary ball speed. From childhood to adulthood, he especially hated others hitting his pitching.

He's a pitcher who likes to Strikeout the strong batters he faces.

In Narumiya's mind, there is really no concept of fishing.

In his opinion, doing so would be too incompetent.

Unexpectedly, Miyuki and Sawamura, actually…

No matter how annoyed Narumiya was, it was a fact that he was resolved.

In the stands, the audience who originally supported Inajitsu and Narumiya were silent right now.

A faint fear lingered.

Although Inajitsu's entire lineup is very powerful.

Sawamura Eijun stood in front of them like a mountain.

In the stands, there were also many players from Sakurazawa High School, which originally competed with Inajitsu.

Akira Nagao stared blankly at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound and then turned to look at Narumiya Mei, who walked down the strike zone with a dismal face.

Disbelief was clear in his eyes.

The players of Sakurazawa High School are well aware of Inashiro's strength.

The most terrifying of these is the pitcher Narumiya. Whenever he stands on the pitcher's mound, the players of Sakurazawa will feel hopeless.

In that game, the prince of Tokyo completely let the players of Sakurazawa High School realize the cruelty of high school baseball!

The figure of Narumiya Mei standing on the pitcher's mound putting pressure on them has accompanied Akira Nagao for the past two days.

Unexpectedly these amazing players are now in the same situation as they were before.

After Sawamura stood on the pitcher's mound, he brought deep despair to Inajitsu.

One Out, no one hits base.

"Sixth Batter, first baseman, Yamaoka-kun!"

Yamaoka is also one of the geniuses that Narumiya invited.

But he is different from Carlos, Shirakawa, these skilled geniuses, Yamaoka is a power batter type!

He belongs to the same category as the current Fourth Batter of Inajitsu Harada and Masuko of Seidou High School.

"Smash it out!"

The muscles in the arms bulged high.

Yamaoka's eyes stared unblinkingly at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

For other players, to play Sawamura's ball, they must choose a certain ball path.

If you don't pick a path, it's hard to hit Sawamura's ball.

But, Unlike other batters, Yamaoka doesn't have to choose a certain course.

As long as he can make contact with Sawamura's pitching, even if it just rubs against the ball, he will use his tyrannical strength to sweep the ball out!

'I hate to fight against such power batter, and there is no technical content at all.'

Miyuki gave Yamaoka a dissatisfied look.

It's not that he doesn't have a strategy to deal with Yamaoka but for an opponent like Yamaoka, the effect and significance of his Game calling are not that great!

'I will leave it to you!'

Miyuki didn't bother to waste his brain cells right now, so he directly put on his Mitt waiting for Sawamura's ball.

Against an opponent like Yamaoka, the strategy is actually very simple, and he believes that Sawamura must know it.

'Of course, I'm the Demon King!'

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura smiled confidently.

The opponent is a power Batter like Yamaoka, and it is inappropriate to throw a ball in the middle!

With Yamaoka's strong swing, he could easily use his strength to sweep away the Breaking ball in the middle abruptly.

If you want to deal with him, you must use the corner ball!

The best would be a tricky breaking ball to corners.

A strong Batter must fully swing the bat if he wants to fully utilize his striking power.

To deal with the Breaking ball in the corner, the batter must adjust his hitting stance. For a power-type Batter, once the batting form is changed, the strength that he can exert is not much!

First ball!

Whoosh!

The small white ball is going precisely into the inner corner.

In the face of this ball, Yamaoka was still very stubborn in swinging the bat even though the hitting stance was not very comfortable.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew like a kite with a broken string.

"FOUL!"

The second ball, the Ball that deviates from the strike zone from the outside corner!

Whoosh!

The ball is like a laser light, which makes batters caught off guard.

In the face of this ball, the aggressive Yamaoka also did not let it go.

Ping!

"FOUL!"

After the ball was hit, it fell out of bounds again.

Feeling, Yamaoka's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, constantly hitting Sawamura's corner balls.

But of course, the real situation is not like this. He has fallen into Sawamura's trap step by step. No matter how strong the foul he hits, it is a foul after all, and now Sawamura is leading with two Strikes.

Whoosh!

Just then, Sawamura's third ball came!

Sawamura's third ball was also a sharp inside corner ball.

Yamaoka once again decisively swings the bat!

Only this time, his swing was a little late.

The baseball crossed over the plate with remarkable speed.

A Straight Fastball!

SNAP!

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki smirked.

'As expected of Demon King, he is really extraordinary!'

Even without his lead, Sawamura knew what to throw.

Although this plan is simple, it is practical.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

After Yamaoka, Inajitsu's seventh bat was struck Out by three balls!

Just when Inajitsu was trying to save the situation, the Demon King Sawamura scored three Outs in a row, completely ruining their hopes.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange!

In the Press Box, Owada Akiko looked at the invincible Sawamura Eijun on the field.

"This is too overwhelming!"

Originally, when it was the fourth inning, because the game was not halfway through, Akiko didn't feel it yet. But now that the fifth inning is over, Akiko suddenly realized a very great event.

If there were no extra matches, there would be at most nine innings, and now the fifth inning is over, which means that the game is more than halfway through. Up to now, the players of Inajitsu have not won a real hit from Sawamura's hands.

Thinking carefully, this is scary!

Fujio beside her nodded.

He rarely agrees with the opinions of his Kohai, but right now he can't help but agree.

"Although Sawamura-kun was already very famous before this game. His performance at the Kanto Tournament was also very impressive.

 But at that time, most people thought he was a rookie with good strength. Those tyrants in the Kanto Tournament have suffered a loss because of their lack of preparation!

Now it seems that it is not the same at all. Sawamura Eijun's skills have indeed reached a terrifying level. Of course, there is also a catcher's credit."

Saying that Fujio took a special look at the rest area of ​​Seidou High School.

Miyuki and Sawamura, who had already completed their defense, were talking and laughing as they changed their equipment.

Judging from their expressions, both of them are very relaxed and have no pressure at all.
