Substitute the 1st batter

Shirun's coach seemed to take this practice game very seriously. He personally sat in command, and many students came around to act as spectators.

"Hello, hello, thank you for accepting our request for practice matches."

Shirun's coach, who is about fifty years old, looks very respectable. After the young man Sano met others, his aura was inevitably a little shorter.

Shirun's coach was also very polite: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. After all, we have a lot of members. The newly established Second String has never played in a practice match. We also need opponents very much."

What, Second String?

Akagi's little friend, I didn't know this news in advance.

Although they themselves are not that much better than Shirun's Second String, and even their roulette skills are not as good as others, this does not prevent them from looking down on each other. Anyway, they are also Akagi's first army, how can they compete with Shirun's second army?

Sawamura didn't expect this situation either. However, he really appreciates the aura of his little friend who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf. No matter how strong you are, I just despise you.

Although it is somewhat unreasonable to be mad, an athlete should have this kind of energy to be fearless. Otherwise, if you see a strong opponent, you will be cowardly before you can play the game.

It is impossible for such a player to achieve results no matter what.

"The second army is just the second army. Most of them are in the same class as us. Such opponents with similar strength are also worth comparing."

Appreciation is for appreciation, but the competition is still a comparison.

Sawamura doesn't really care about the strength of his opponents. The main purpose of organizing practice games is to show his friends the charm and atmosphere of baseball games, so that they can become fascinated with baseball through the form of games.

It's natural to have stronger opponents, and my friends can use them as an example in the future. It doesn't matter if you're weak, it's easier to develop interest in a close game.

After he figured it out, Sawamura took the initiative to persuade Akagi's friends.

After the captain spoke, Akagi's friends settled down and began to accept the game.

At the beginning of the game, Akagi Middle School took the lead, with the catcher Ken Yamaguchi taking the lead.

Hey, are you kidding me?

At that time, when the players of Shirun Middle School saw Ken Yamaguchi walking onto the strike zone with his bat upside down, the first thing he felt was disbelief. It's hard for them to accept that their practice counterparts would do such a thing.

"Yamaguchi, you idiot. The bat is down!"

Sawamura said with a blushing face.

It's really embarrassing, the situation is something Sawamura never imagined before.

After watching Shirun's fieldmen's defense practice, Akagi's friends were immediately stunned. The kind of passing, that kind of reaction, that kind of ball speed deeply shocked Akagi's friends.

In their impression, Shirun doesn't seem to be a very strong team. How did they become so powerful as soon as they played?

Facing Shirun's professional movements, he cooperated skillfully. The arrogance of Akagi's little friends before was struck without a trace, and they were even a little overwhelmed before they entered the strike zone. Not only Yamaguchi Ken, but several other little guys are not so good.

Their faces changed, and their bodies trembled slightly.

How can this be fought?

For a moment, Sawamura really wanted to give up. Perhaps the practice game is really early for Akagi's friends now.

No, you can't just forget about it.

As soon as that thought appeared, Sawamura pushed it out of his mind. He can't just let it go. If the first practice game is like this, the enthusiasm of the little friends is likely to be hit hard.

You have to give them confidence.

"Let's make a substitution, I'll play the first shot."

Sawamura replaced Yamaguchi, and he was the team's first player.

Of course, this is absolutely not allowed in regular competitions, but for practice competitions, everyone is a good neighbor. Shirun's coach and players didn't say anything.

For them, this is also the first practice game. After all, Shirun's second string has not been established for a long time.

"Please advise!"

The head referee was Shirun's coach. When Sawamura saluted him, Shirun's head coach was subconsciously taken aback.

What kind of team Akagi is, he can see through it at a glance.

It is more appropriate to say that it is an interest group rather than a team. Akagi's friends are obviously not mentally prepared for the game.

The teammates made such a big ugliness before, but when Ke Zemura stood on the strike zone, he was still calm.

You can even say hello to him calmly.

It's incredible!

The head coach Shirun, who had no expectations for this practice match, nodded his head at Sawamura.

He decided to take another look, take a look and talk.

"bring it on!"

Standing on the strike zone, Sawamura followed Ichiro's example and gave a beautiful home run notice.

"I'll go, this guy is crazy. Is that a home run notice?"

"And it's Ichiro's standard move."

"Even if you want to be handsome, isn't that a trick?"

Shirun's buddies were shocked. A more accurate statement should be that they were angry.

Isn't Akagi Middle School too arrogant?

The Shirun's pitcher is Miki, a freshman who just entered school this year. He was originally a junior league pitcher. Later, after entering middle school, I stopped going to practice in Junior League.

Now he serves as the main pitcher of Shirun Second String.

Although he is only a pitcher of the Second String, and he is still a freshman. But Shirun's coach is very important to him.

The coach even regarded him as Shirun's savior.

If he is not a first grader, if his body can be stronger. Maybe Shirun's coach will directly promote him to ace.

This practice match was specially prepared for him by Shirun's coach.

Facing the coach's high regard, Miki was flattered and determined to perform well and respond to the coach's expectations.

But Akagi, an opponent, really wasn't enough to lift his spirits.

The only decent ones are probably their pitchers.

Eijun Sawamura!

Miki was sure that he had never heard of this name in Junior League, nor had he seen this person.

However, his striking posture is very standard. In addition to learning Ichiro's home run notice before, Sawamura's entire hitting posture belongs to the most standard hitting posture.

Can't be taken lightly.

Before pitching, Miki secretly warned himself.

"Whoosh!"

Miki threw the ball, which shocked Akagi's friends.

This Shirun's pitcher is good, good, very slow!

Of course, it's not that Miki's ball speed is really slow. In the first year of middle school, he can throw a ball speed of about 111, which is very good.

But when Sawamura practiced with Akagi, the speed of the ball was much faster.

"what!"

Facing the 111-speed straight ball, Sawamura shouted and swung for the first time in his middle school career.
