Chapter 14 Lin Tian's Guidance

when!

Masuko Toru's metal rod accurately hit the straight ball that Sawamura threw with all his strength!

call out!

The baseball was hit high and flew out!

It didn't stop flying until it hit the outfield fence!

And this time!

The fence you hit is within the bounds!

"Ooh!"

"out!"

"Hit a home run!"

"Didn't the ball just go off the center of the strike?"

"That's right! But Masuko's transparent was obviously carried out with brute force!"

After watching Masuko Toru's shot, the audience outside the field were shocked.

"call..."

"If the hitting point is a little bit more..."

"Then it's going to be a fly ball in the outfield, and then being picked up by the outfielder..."

Masuko Toru, who was running to the base, felt very lucky.

Just that ball.

The timing of the turn was obviously earlier than the first two goals.

Fortunately, his strength is strong enough, otherwise he will be eliminated 100%.

"quilt..."

"It was beaten out perfectly..."

"The tiebreaker that I threw with all my might..."

"Is this a duel of power?"

"This is..."

"The nation's top-level high school baseball..."

"Ha ha..."

"Amazing!"

Sawamura clenched his fists tightly, a smile on his face.

Obviously.

Masuko Toru's home run not only did not frustrate him, but instead made Sawamura feel extremely excited when he met a strong enemy.

such an attitude.

The audience, seniors, and coaches were all a little surprised.

certainly.

Others thought Sawamura might be trying to force a smile.

But in subsequent games, Sawamura's performance remained stable.

Basically just one shot.

The second- and third-year hitters were eliminated.

And if one ball is not enough, at most two balls.

"Courage is a good thing."

In the bullpen, Lin Tian put his hands in his pockets and said in his heart, "But if you don't even know why you were hit with a home run, you won't get the slightest improvement."

"Let's talk to him when the game is over."

"but."

"There is still some time before the end of the game. You can go to the B court to practice physical fitness for a while."

Think of this.

Lin Tian took his belongings and walked towards the gate of the A court.

"Didn't you see it?"

Miyuki also asked curiously.

"See everything you need to see."

"I'm not interested in the next game."

"It's better to exercise your physical fitness and control the ball instead of standing here stupidly."

Lin Tian waved goodbye without looking back.

"This kid..."

Miyuki's mouth twitched slightly.

He still likes this kind of monster apprentice who practiced independently.

...

While training with Lin Tian.

The intra-team match at Stadium A is also in full swing.

Although the momentum of the freshman team has risen, it is still quite difficult to get points from the senior students.

Hit to the end.

No more points.

And Sawamura's performance is really eye-catching.

After throwing several innings in a row, only two or three points were scored by the seniors.

That's pretty impressive compared to those first-year pitchers who lose nine/ten innings.

so!

Was promoted to the second army by the head coach!

In addition to Sawamura, Kominato Haru City was also promoted to the Second Army because of its good defensive ability and strike ability!

...

night.

Qingxinliao.

Lin Tian walked to the No. 5 dormitory and called out Sawamura.

"What's wrong?"

Sawamura asked curiously.

"After a long period of observation, every time your straight ball flies to the batter, it drifts."

Lin Tian said straight to the point.

"Eh? Is there any?"

Sawamura asked in surprise.

"In today's game, after you said you were going to hit the straight in the center."

"The catcher puts the glove in the center every time, but your pitch hits the edge of the glove."

"And this has happened several times."

"If you don't believe it, do an experiment to find out."

Say it.

Lin Tian turned around and walked towards the indoor practice field.

Sawamura frowned and recalled, and found that it was really the same as what Lin Tian said.

to make sure of this.

Sawamura quickly followed Lin Tian.

The dormitory is not far from the indoor driving range, so it arrived quickly.

"All right."

"You shoot at it."

"If you can make a hit, it proves that your straight ball doesn't turn."

"If you can't hit it, it proves that your straight ball will drift."

"remember."

"Go all out."

"Don't hold back just to hit."

"If it's not done in accordance with this condition, then the test is meaningless."

Lin Tian brought the empty drink bottle from the dormitory and put it on the ground, then said Asazawa Village.

"it is good."

Sawamura nodded.

He took out a baseball from the frame beside him.

Immediately walk to the mound, aim at the empty drink bottle, and throw the ball with all his strength.

call out!

The baseball flies out fast!

But when it was about to hit the empty drink bottle, it turned without warning!

"Look!"

"Turn the corner!"

Lin Tian spread his hands.

"!!!"

Sawamura's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

he...

His straight ball...

Drift really occurred...

"Certainly, one turn doesn't prove anything, and you can make more shots."

Lin Tian said with a smile.

"That's exactly what I thought!"

Sawamura picked up the second ball and continued to throw all his strength at the empty drink bottle.

However...

Missed...

Third ball!

Still missed!

Fourth ball!

Still missed!

Nth ball!

Turn the corner again to avoid the drink bottle!

...

Twenty or thirty times in a row.

Sawamura never hit the drink bottle once.

Or.

every ball thrown.

Drift occurs when approaching the beverage bottle.

And the direction of drift.

is a random location.

It could be up, it could be down, it could be left/right.

"Do you believe it now?"

Lin Tian asked.

"Um!"

"I didn't expect my pitching to be so unique!"

Sawamura said excitedly.

"You're too happy too soon!"

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "The reason why your straight ball drifts is just because the ball's grip is not fixed when pitching, which will cause the pitched ball to drift up/down/left/right!"

"and!"

"Most of your pitches, cornering is late!"

"So Masuko-senpai deliberately stood at the front of the strike zone after discovering your secret of the straight ball!"

"The purpose is to hit the ball before turning the corner!"

Hear this.

Sawamura was shocked.

He said how Zengzito was different from others.

Not only the front of the station...

And deliberately keep the bat short...

"If you don't change, wait until someone sees your straight-ball secret..."

words behind.

Lin Tian has not spoken yet.

But Sawamura only felt a chill on his back, and he even broke out in a cold sweat.
