Chapter 98: His Specialty

In the rest area of ​​Sensen High School, Superintendent Ugai smiled and watched the changes on the field.

'The Pitcher started to shake!'

"You can't let the pitcher recover."

Thinking about it, Ugai Kazuyoshi gave the runner at first base a signal.

'Prepare to steal bases!'

You can steal bases at any time when the opportunity is right.

Moreover, even if the steal base fails, it doesn't matter.

It's all worth it as long as it can shake the Pitcher.

When Tanpa was about to throw the second Pitch, he saw the plan of Sensen High School!

'They want to go to second base?'

Damn!

Tanpa Koichiro immediately threw a restraint.

SNAP!

When the baseball reached first base, Sensen's runner also returned to first base.

"Safe!"

Tanpa didn't care if the containment was not successful. He didn't have any hopes that the containment ball would solve the problem.

The effect of pinning the ball is to keep the runner from getting too far from the base…

At the catcher's position, Chris's voice rang.

"Focus on the batter, ignore the runner."

On the mound, Tanpa was taken aback.

He is distracted! When he was fighting against Kano, he was distracted!!

'Concentrate on pitching!'

Seeing Tanpa's eyes, Chris knew that Tanpa had awakened!

As long as Tanpa can focus, the next thing will become easier.

The next ball, a Straight ball to the high inside corner!

The golf swing has its own unique limitations.

Originally, Chris thought that Kano might also be able to swing the bat normally.

However, later, by observing the small movements of Kano's swing, he was convinced that Kano was not very good at ordinary swings!

This also means that Kano can only use the golf swing.

For golf swing, the most suitable ball to deal with it is a high Breaking ball.

Tanpa has no Breaking ball with a high course, but a high Straight ball is easy.

Whoosh!

From the mound, Tanpa threw a stunning Pitch.

On the strike zone, Kano decisively swung his bat.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew far into the outfield.

Sawamura had been waiting there for a long time, raised his Mitt steadily, and caught the ball.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Accurately attacking the weak points, let Seidou get through the difficulties.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the first half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked!

No opportunity, the batters from Seidou High School couldn't score again.

The second half of the fifth inning!

Although the giant Maki got on base, Tanpa and Chris cooperated and successfully dealt with the subsequent Batters.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In this way, the game went all the way, the first half of the six innings.

Seidou High School's lineup reached the third round.

"First batter, shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!"

Kuramochi is the first to go up again, this is the third time he has faced Maki!

Similarly, all of the batters at Seidou High School will face Maki for the third time

'Go to base no matter what!'

Although he says he is a genius, Kuramochi has never considered himself a genius, but he is confident in his baseball skills.

There are not many players who came to Tokyo from other regions and became the main players of the team in their first year!

Kuramochi Yoichi is one of them.

And the team he was in was not some little-known club, but the top Giants in Tokyo.

"If it was a manga, this uncle would be a protagonist."

Kuramochi Yoichi often comforts himself like this!

Until they appeared.

Miyuki, in the first half of a year, was entrusted with the important task of being the team catcher.

Sawamura, even just after entering school, was promoted to the first string. At the Kanto Tournament, he was already the Ace of the team!

Chris-senpai, come back from injury and regained the main position!

The Monster, Furuya, can throw a 150 km/h Fastball!

Also the seniors…

Tetsu-san, Ryo-san, and Jun-san…

In comparison, he, Kuramochi Yoichi, was so inconspicuous in Seidou High School. Even like Masuko-senpai, he has become the target of opponents seeking the number of Outs in games.

When did he, Kuramochi, fall to this level?

No matter how he thought about it, Kuramochi couldn't convince himself that he didn't care about it!

'Go to base!'

With an extremely firm belief, Kuramochi Yoichi used a bunt.

Batting, pitching, even fielding…

In Seidou High School, there are a lot of people who are stronger than him in this.

Although Kuramochi is also working hard to improve, it is difficult to become the best.

In the batting, there is Tetsu-san, in the defense there is Ryo-san, and he isn't capable one for pitching either.

But when it comes to speed, Kuramochi believes he won't lose to anyone in the team.

Ping!

Bunt, he still used bunts.

Even if it was dealt with like this before, Kuramochi still did it.

"You are really desperate, eh?"

The third baseman of Sensen High School mocked Kuramochi who was bunting.

Sensen High School is not without the information of Seidou High School. The abilities and habits of these players in Seidou are clear to them.

How could they not be wary of bunts with Kuramochi on the strike zone?

'If you want to be solved then I will help you!'

Sensen's third baseman rushed forward and picked up the ball neatly. Right now, he was satisfied. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the strike zone.

He wanted to see Kuramochi's desperate face.

Um?

No!

Looking from the strike zone to first base, the third baseman of Sensen High School's face turned pale with fright.

When?

Kuramochi is approaching the first base!

He hurriedly threw the ball to first base, but there was not enough time.

One of Kuramochi Yoichi's foot had already stepped on the base bag ahead of time.

"Safe!"

With a bunt to Third base, although the speed and angle are not bad, nevertheless, no one thought that a batter could steal base with this kind of ball.

In the stands.

"Hey, at this speed, is it a cheat"

Narumiya muttered in dissatisfaction.

The speed of Kuramochi Yoichi is no less than that of Carlos!

In this case, even he can't take it lightly.

"Are you afraid?" Harada asked.

"Scared? How is that possible?"

Narumiya pouted: "Although with his speed, once he hits base, it will become very troublesome. However, in the end, his hitting and bunt ability is not very good. As long as he is not allowed to hit base, everything is in vain."

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School.

Kuramochi Yoichi's popularity is surprisingly good.

After seeing him go to base, the guys in the rest area all stood up and applauded him.

"Great job!"

"As expected of the Cheetah of Seidou!"

Sawamura also looked at him with relief.

It seems that he has discovered his specialty!

On the field, if there is one thing you can do that others cannot, then you are a useful person.

Kuramochi Yoichi is undoubtedly a very good player, but because of ideals, he didn't realize what he could really do!

The player he admires is a switch hitter, so he has become very troubled when it comes to hitting, swapping left and right for hitting, hoping that he can reach the level of his idol…

It can't be said that this is bad, but people have different aptitudes. Although Kuramochi likes his idol very much, his path is completely different from that of his idol.

Blindly imitating one's own idol will not allow Kuramochi to truly grow!

Only when he truly recognizes his own talents can he soar to the sky.

"Hyaa-ha-haa~"

The current position is like this. He has already recognized what he can do and what he can't do.

This is very important for a baseball player.
