Reasonably speaking, some people always feel that the hitter and the pitcher are in an equal position. Whether the hitter wants to hit or the pitcher wants to throw, it seems to be a 50-50 split. . .

　　But there may be more unfavorable factors for pitchers in many cases.

　　For example, pitcher and catcher, really hate to meet that kind of steady hitter, because you can't see what he is thinking and you don't know what ball you will shoot at. This is the same as the poker face in a casino. It means one thing!

　　A hit in baseball is really a heart-pounding match!

　　From real power to inner psychological warfare, so many things have to be taken into consideration!

Consecutive hits, no one out, there are people on first and third bases, and it is the turn of the first-year hitter who even has a headache for his senior and the ace in the team. To be reasonable, Kawakami has a shadow in his heart at this time. The area of the shadow seems to be you can count one me!

　　Pressure on the mound! It is not understandable by ordinary people!

　　It is impossible for a half-level person to stand on the mound!

　　And for Alejandro?

　　It's a duel! A win-or-lose! He has already failed once, this time he will never allow himself to fail again!

Alejandro clenched his fists tightly, and there seemed to be a trace of sweat oozing from the palms of his hands, which showed that Alejandro mood at the moment was still quite restless!

　　"Calm down!" Alejandro said secretly in his heart, hoping to calm down his restless mood at the moment. That's right, from the surface, Alejandro expression at the moment is very calm, and his body is also motionless. The steady posture like mountain!

　　But Alejandro heart is far from the calmness he showed on the outside. Indeed, Alejandro, who has been a man for two generations, may have a much more stable mentality among his peers, but this does not mean that he is really calm without really experiencing those fierce competitions, and not experience these various life experiences.

　　What's more, when those players who are really experienced in many battles are facing important situations they can often change the situation on the field with one blow, their inner tension is self-evident! There are not many people in this world who can really maintain their mentality at any time!

　　The sweat oozing from Alejandro forehead at this moment and the slightly nervous expression in his eyes all revealed Alejandro unusual emotions at this moment!

Different from the previous duel between him and Tanba, at this moment, Alejandro suddenly found that there seemed to be an indescribable pressure on his shoulders!

　　Especially when I saw Haruichi Kominato and Eijun Sawamura at first and third base, that sense of responsibility was born out of thin air!

　　I must send them home plate! This seems to have become a kind of burden in Alejandro heart. However, this kind of burden can't be said to be good or bad. Some people will turn the burden and responsibility into the motivation to work hard, but more people are under this kind of burden. , Slowly and naturally died out!

And Supervisor Kataoka, who was close to Alejandro, undoubtedly noticed the subtle change in Alejandro mood or in this case, it was not a subtle change, but a very violent fluctuation!

　　It was obviously just a red and white battle in the school! However, at this moment, the meaning has become a little different!

　　Supervisor Kataoka frowned slightly, no one knew that Supervisor Kataoka actually valued Alejandro as much as Furuya in his heart, and even vaguely surpassed it.

　　Someone once said this, the so-called baseball, as long as you don't lose points, you will never lose!

　　However, there is also such a saying, no matter how hard the pitcher tries, if he can't hit and score points, he will never win the game!

Whether it is a pitcher or a hitter, there is no difference in whether it is important or not for baseball. For the entire team, defense and offense are equally important!

　　This one goes without saying! The mainstay hitter of a team is even more important!

　　Alejandro is the player who supervises this kind of value in Kataoka! In the eyes of Supervisor Kataoka, he has the potential to become one of Seido's cleanup hitter in the future! Mentality, spirit, talent, Supervisor Kataoka has seen possibilities in Alejandro that others he have seen like Tetsuya Yuki!

That's why Supervisor Kataoka gave Alejandro a different kind of favor and a certain kind of value that outsiders can't understand!

　　"First ball!"

　　This is a very eye-catching shot. Whether the first year can show their momentum in this inning depends on the hitter. No matter how you say it, even if they hit consecutive hits and the field is full of bases, if they can't score, Everything is useless!

　　Only score the result is what matters!

Don't talk about shit with me, the important thing is to participate! That's all bullshit! High school baseball is all about results! Can't score! Can't win? If you can't break into Koshien, then everything is an illusory dream!

　　Everything is based on results!

　　Man is a very real creature!

　　"Hoo hoo!"

　　The baseball roared and flew towards Alejandro.

Alejandro pupils shrank slightly, and he swung subconsciously!

"Snapped!"

　　Slider in the inside corner! Alejandro gritted his teeth and adjusted his striking posture. The first ball was undoubtedly missed. It may be that his high concentration caused Alejandro spirit to be too tense to capture the trajectory of the ball.

　　He didn't even see the inner corner clearly, so he shot in a hurry!.

　　"This kid?" If it is said that Keisuke Miyauchi was a little concerned about the situation on the field and allocated the ball carefully and did not pay attention to Alejandro changes. It seems that something is wrong with Alejandro mental state!

"Could it be...?" Miyauchi narrowed his eyes and thought uncertainly, "Hmph, as expected, he's still a first-year brat!"

　　Although Miyauchi is 99% certain in his heart, it cannot be ruled out that this kid is acting. It is not uncommon for Miyauchi to have seen this kind of first year behavior.

　　"Kawakami, next, let's take a bad shot from the outside corner. It doesn't matter if the angle is a little bit off. Remember, it must be tricky!" Miyauchi stared at Kawakami closely, and made a secret signal.

　　Kawakami nodded slightly.

　　Alejandro heart became a little anxious, it's not good, it seems that he can't control his inner emotions, how could this be! ?

No, do you want to pitch again? What's next? Outer corner? Inner corner? Should I guess the ball? Or rely on your own eyesight? wrong. . . .

　　Alejandro mind seemed to become a little frightened in an instant. . .

　　"Snapped!"

　　"Strike!" The clear and sweet voice of the ball set and the cold words of Director Kataoka brought Alejandro back to his senses.Alejandro was stunned, looking at his second blow.

　　Alejandro mouth twitched slightly. . .

　　Two strikes. . . .

　　The future four-battee player Alejandro, well, has one foot on the edge of a cliff.
