On the surface, although Eijun Sawamura is taller than his peers, he is not very strong. That physique doesn't look like one that can hit a home run either.
But if you underestimate the striking power of Sawamura Eijun because of this, then you are making a big mistake. Because of the soft joints of his body, Sawamura's entire swing is different from that of ordinary people. At the same time as he swung the bat, his entire body turned, especially his arms, which were drawn violently like a waving whip.
Because the range of distortion of the whole action is much larger than that of ordinary hitters. Therefore, Sawamura Eijun's swing speed and striking power are particularly powerful. Such a body is Sawamura's most powerful talent! But this talent has not only achieved Sawamura but also restricted Sawamura.
He endowed Sawamura with unparalleled pitching talent, and at the same time made Sawamura's striking power extremely powerfully. But at the same time, this kind of talent also makes it very difficult for Sawamura to target when he strikes. To put it simply, Sawamura is optimistic about the direction the baseball is coming, and he also swings the bat in this direction, but it is still very easy to miss the swing. It's a bit like the difference between a stick and a whip. The stick doesn't have the flexibility and stamina of a whip, but it can strike wherever it can. Compared with the stick, the whip will naturally take more effort to hone the accurate head.
Fortunately, in Sawamura's previous life, the ten-year practice was not for nothing. Although Sawamura's physique has not been able to use all the experience of his previous life, he can use his current strength to deal with this pitcher from Hakuba Middle School. , still enough!
After the small white ball was hit, it broke through the obstruction of the sea breeze outside the stadium and flew out of the stadium!
A two-run home run!
The total score is 3:0!
This reality made the brothers of the Brotherhood of Hearts directly fall into the carnival.
Won!
After seeing Sawamura hit the ball, they knew they were going to win this game.
On the stand, the friends of Tenryuji Middle School looked at the bullpen of Hakuba Middle School like an idiot.
How dare these guys?
"madness!"
Nanami Haruna's nose was almost crooked with anger, but he was looking forward to having a good test through Hakuba Middle School, Akagi Middle School's current strength.
I really didn't expect that Hakuba Middle School would be so vulnerable. Strength is not enough, the most terrifying thing is stupidity. In the face of Akagi Middle School, they even delusionally want to preserve their strength. Especially after dropping points before, they didn't replace the real ace pitcher in time.
Stupid, irredeemably stupid.
Before the game, didn't they collect information about Akagi Middle School? Even if the materials before the quarter-finals are of no use, the opponent in the quarter-finals is Okita Middle School, and the semi-final opponent is Nagano Metropolitan Middle School. If those two schools participated in the Kanto Conference, the evaluation would definitely not be worse than Hakuba. Wouldn't the people from Hakuba Middle School take a good look at the scoring in those two games?
In those two games, Okita Middle School had only one hit in the hands of Sawamura. Another Nagano Metropolitan Middle School had two hits and one run in total.
In two games, Sawamura only dropped three hits and one point.
In the face of such a super trump card, you dare to let the opponent score three points first, and then play against the opponent.
Even if it is to die, you are too fancy.
"Hakuba Middle School has been replaced, and No. 10 Motoki will play."
After losing three points, Hakuba Middle School was stunned. Urgently replaced the real ace in their ranks.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Although Motoki successfully let Akagi's remaining batters go up or down twice, he successfully blocked Akagi's offensive.
But everyone who is familiar with Akagi Middle School knows that in this game, Hakuba Middle School is sure to lose.
In a game, he scored more than three points than Sawamura, even Tenryuji had no such ability, let alone Hakuba.
When Motoki pitched, Sawamura watched very seriously.
Motoki is not very fast with the ball, but he has very good control of the ball. He gets the outs by keeping the batter swinging.
Precise control of the ball made Motoki's pitching without any particularly sweet ball flying over. This kind of corner ball, after being hit, usually falls in front of the first baseman or third baseman.
Motoki fights through this pitch. This method is simple but surprisingly effective.
For the little friends from Akagi Middle School who can't hit the ball, it is still very difficult to hit this kind of ball.
In the second half of the game, Hakuba attacked.
When pitching this time, Sawamura didn't use his previous pitching style to settle the opponent with sharp strikeouts.
He completely imitated Motoki's pitching, using his fine ball handling combined with his terrifying power to deal with batters.
In the beginning, the batters at Hakuba Middle School didn't find any problems. In the face of Sawamura's terrifying ball speed of 130 kilometres, they thought they might not be able to keep up. I didn't expect that Sawamura's pitching position is very sweet. Although he has a high enough speed, it is not the kind of ball that cannot be hit. If they really want to describe it, Sawamura's current pitching is very good. Like a standard pitch from a pitching machine.
Although such a ball has sufficient speed, it is not difficult to aim.
The batter from Hakuba Middle School kept swinging and hitting Sawamura's ball. Thought there would be at least one or two hits, but they don't seem to be particularly lucky. The ball landed in front of the fielder or on the top of his head and was easily caught by the friends from Akagi Middle School.
It was not until the end of the second game that the coaches and players of Hakuba Middle School realized something was wrong.
This is still a question from Hakuba's Coach: "The pitcher's rhythm is maintained well. How many pitches has he pitched?"
"11 pitches!"
When he got this answer, the coach of the baseball team of Hakuba Middle School felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
11 pitches, six outs, two rounds!!
This bastard is a fool, and he knows it's wrong.
The other party didn't want to deal with them seriously at all but just kept playing with them.
"How can Akagi be so strong?"
Coach Hakuba asked in surprise.
It's just his question that no one can answer.
When Hakuba Middle School got Motoki, it was also ambitious and wanted to create a miracle. For this lofty goal, they even chose to preserve their strength in the Chiba County final, in order to avoid reconnaissance that may be sent by various schools.
Before the start of the Kanto Conference, they carefully studied all the strong schools in the Kanto region and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
Of course, these strong schools do not include Akagi.
If they had studied Akagi carefully, they would not have been slapped like this.
