Chapter 31: Practice match part 3
While!
The baseball was beaten by Asad to the left side of the field.
While!
The baseball was beaten by Asad to the outside of the right side of the field.
While!
The baseball was hit to the left....
While!
The baseball was hit to the right....
One left!
One right!
Asad followed this law and kept blowing!
And.
When it is different from Ryosuke Kominato.
Even if the ball thrown by Hiromi, he can still play it!
Anyway, according to the rules.
As long as the ball is out of bounds, the pitcher has to keep throwing.
"This..."
"Isn't this guy a pitcher?"
"For ... Why is the hitting also so strong? "
Coach Matsumoto Takahiro froze instantly after seeing Asad's hits.
"Hey!"
"Look!"
"The baseballs played by that monster almost all fell in the same position!"
At this time, a team member shouted out.
Swish!
Everyone instantly turned their heads to look.
Then he found that whenever Asad hit the ball outside the boundary close to his side, the ball landed in the same place.
That's it.
That can also be imagined.
The ball played by Asad, if it flew out of the boundary near the other side of the seido, it should also land in the same position.
After realizing this!
Including all members of Coach Matsumoto, their minds went blank!
For a while, they didn't know what kind of emotions to use to face this divine hitting!
...
It didn't take long.
The Seido crowd and the audience outside the venue also discovered this.
And then.
They looked into Asad's eyes.
It's like looking at aliens.
But.
In their usual training, the members of the seido already knew that as long as Asad aimed at the infield, he could do where he wanted.
So.
Quickly came back to his senses.
Of course.
Although with some mental preparation.
But seeing this magical hitting with your own eyes still feels strange.
"That's awesome!"
"Every ball falls in the same place!"
"And!"
"No matter what the opponent throws, it can always be hit in the order of left and right, left and right!"
The beautiful managers of seido were also shocked by Asad's performance.
"Is this your true strength?"
Fujiwara Takako looked at Asad's eyes and showed a look of adoration.
Meantime.
Looking at Asad's wonderful performance.
She was proud of Asad from the bottom of her heart.
As for this pride.
It is because Asad and himself belong to the same school baseball team.
Or because of other relationships.
That's unknown.
...
While!
While!
While!
The clash on the pitch continues!
Obviously, as long as you throw 1 good ball, you can eliminate Asad!
But...
Every ball thrown by Hiromi will be beaten out of bounds by Asad!
Follow the rules of baseball!
The ball thrown....
If it is punched out of bounds....
Then the number of good balls will change from 0 to 1....
If you hit two out-of-bounds balls, the number of good balls will become 2....
But!
After that, play out of bounds!
It won't be counted as a good ball count!
I want to change the number of good balls from 2 to 3....
The pitcher must throw 1 really good ball....
As for the real sense of good ball, there are two types.
The first type:
The ball thrown, the batter did not swing the bat, and flew to the good ball area.
The second type:
The ball thrown, the batter swings the bat, but does not hit.
And then....
Neither of these conditions, Hiromi can do it....
So.
He could only be forced to grapple with Asad.
...
"Won't this guy get tired?"
"It's been more than twenty times, and it can still play out of bounds so stably!"
Osaka Kiryu's catcher frowned and glanced at Asad.
Thought about it.
He got up and walked away from the batter's seat.
"Did you throw in the towel so quickly?"
Asad asked with a chuckle.
"Your agitation will be of no use to us."
The catcher replied calmly.
When the words fall.
Hiromi also threw the ball at the catcher.
And Asad was more than three meters away from the catcher.
Follow the rules.
Batsmen are not allowed to leave the batter's seat.
Of course.
This is allowed if you jump over to receive the ball from the batter's seat.
But.
There is little point in jumping over.
Because.
When the other party saw Asad doing this, he would inevitably move away from Asad further.
At that time.
No matter how strong the jump is, it is difficult to touch the ball.
So.
Asad simply did nothing, stood quietly in place, and watched the opponent's Hiromi throw 4 bad balls.
After a while.
The referee announced aloud
:
"Bad ball! Walks! "
Hearing this, Asad casually threw the bat aside and slowly ran to first base.
As for Ryosuke Kominato, who originally stayed at first base.
Because Asad was escorted, it was forced into first base.
So follow the rules.
Ryosuke Kominato can safely go up to second base.
"Hmm..."
"No matter what kind of ball he faced, this kid was able to hit the outside of bounds accurately."
"And the location hit, it's still the same!"
"He is a hundred times more terrifying than I thought!"
Although Coach Matsumoto is still smiling, no matter how he looks at it, he has a feeling of forced laughter.
...
On the field.
The catcher of Osaka Kiryu frowned and looked at the hitter.
"One man is out, and there are people at first and second base."
"And next is Yuki."
"Hmm..."
Even if you're in Osaka.
The catcher has also heard of Tetsuya Yuki.
And.
Even if I haven't heard of it.
Just the information that Yuki served as the fourth can know that Yuki's hitting strength is stronger than that monster freshman Asad.
"Do you want to avoid the Yuki?"
"But if it's guaranteed, it's full..."
The catcher is very tangled and has a headache.
"Seido's powerful beaters, why are there so many?"
Think about it.
In the end, the catcher chose to avoid the fight.
Because compared to Yuki, the catcher thinks that Masuko is easier to deal with.
And after the elimination of the Masuko thorough.
Although it was still full base, it turned into a two-man out.
By then!
Just before the runner at third base returns to home plate!
Eliminate one person and you can completely solve this crisis!
Boom!
"Bad ball!"
...
Boom!
"Bad ball! Walks! "
After 4 consecutive bad balls.
Tetsuya Yuki was also sent to first base.
Asad, who was at first base, was forced to enter second base.
Ryosuke Kominato at second base was forced to go to third base.
.....
One man out, full base.
Now is a great scoring opportunity for seido.
But.
The next five-stick Masuko Toru did not grasp it.
He swung the bat too hard.
Instead, it makes the action a little distorted.
The baseball that led to the fight was not rushing forward, but towards the sky.
After a long flight, it slowly fell and was successfully picked up by the enemy first baseman.
"The hitter is out!"
The referee announced loudly.
Suddenly.
The situation that was originally favorable to seido disappeared in an instant.
After eliminating 2 hitters.
There are people at first, second, and third bases, but it is more favorable for Osaka Kiryu.
Because as long as you kill one person, you can solve this crisis.
However
Next up is Kazuya Miyuki!
His hitting ability is very good, and his hitting rate will increase when there are people on the base!
More critically!
After the consumption of Ryosuke Kominato and Asad, the state of Hiromi is not as good as before!
In a way!
The probability of seido's score is still very high!
...
While!
A crisp sound.
Hiromi's throwing curveball was accurately hit by Miyuki Kazuya and hit between first and second base.
"Got through!"
"Nice hit!"
"The runner at third base is back at home plate, and seido scored a point!"
To the exclamation of the audience.
Ryosuke Kominato smoothly returned to home plate and scored a point for Seido.
And Lin Tian ran from second base to third base, Tetsuya Yuki ran from first base to second base, and Miyuki Kazuya went safely to first base.
Afterwards.
It was the turn of the seventh baseman Jun Isashiki to appear.
"Drink, aa
With a roar, Isashiki swung the metal rod out with all his strength.
While!!
With the sound of heavy metal crashing, everyone's eyes couldn't help but widen.
But the next moment.
The baseball fell in front of it and bounced slowly.
This scene surprised everyone.
They heard such a powerful hit that they thought they would fly far.
I didn't expect it....
"Abominable!!"
"Let me go through!!"
Jun Isashiki was also embarrassed, his face was red, but he still roared stubbornly.
"Well played!"
At this time, there was a compliment from the left.
Isashiki Jun turned his head and found that Asad had come to the vicinity of home plate without knowing when.
"Stop being in a daze!"
"Quick pass first base!"
Kiryu's catcher quickly shouted at hiromi, who was stunned in place.
As for why not let the pass home plate.
It's because of the position of the baseball, closer to first base.
However
When Hiromi came to his senses and picked up the ball....
Asad's left foot!
Already stepped on home plate!
Although Hiromi passed the ball to the first baseman afterwards, eliminating Jun Isashiki ...
But the second point has already been obtained by seido!
"He..."
"Is he really a pitcher?"
Coach Matsumoto's eyes widened in amazement, and the smile on his face froze.
...
Time is like water.
Fleeting.
Under the scorching sun.
The match between seido and Kiryu has been played for three rounds.
In these three rounds.
With super high-speed pitching.
Asad perfectly suppressed Kiryu's batting order.
And when it was seido attacked.
Although no points were scored in the second inning, the first batter in the third inning was Ryosuke Kominato.
In the eyes of Kiryu's catcher.
Kominato must be sent to base.
Otherwise.
With Ryosuk 's skillful play, Hiromi's physical strength will inevitably be further consumed.
Then.
It was Asad's turn to play.
Even Ryosuke was escorted, and Asad, who was stronger in strength, was naturally no exception.
This was followed by Tetsuya Yuki.
Kiryu's catcher wanted to escort him to base.
But...
Although I had heard of Yuki's reputation before, I had never seen Yuki's hitting strength..
After all.
Some teams like to put the strongest batter in third base.
Previously in Yuki's first appearance.
It was also consumed a lot of energy by Asad and Ryosuke, so without thinking about it, he sent Yuki to the base.
Think about it now.
It's so undeserved.
No matter how powerful Yuki is, you have to see it.
You can't just choose to avoid the war because of speculation, right?
So....
The catcher gave the code word for a head-on confrontation....
And then....
When a sound....
Baseball was beaten out of the outfield fence....
Well!
Tetsuya Yuki threw out a home run!
Because there are two people on the base.
So this home run is also called a three-point home run!
This represents.
A home run and three points for the team.
Together with the 2 points in the first game, the total score of Seido is 5 points.
For baseball.
Five points is a big lead.
...
Fourth inning.
First half of the round.
After Asad appeared.
According to the code given by Miyuki, throw a straight ball with a speed of more than 150 per hour to the position that Miyuki wants.
Because it's too fast.
In addition, Miyuki's position is very tricky, and it is just stuck in the corner of the good ball area.
This makes it difficult for batsmen to judge the quality of the ball.
Coupled with Lin Tian's previous pitch, they all entered the good ball area.
So.
The batter did not dare to release the ball.
He can only swing the baton in one go.
And this kind of brainless swing, when encountering a straight ball with a speed of more than 150 per hour, is obviously difficult to work.
"The hitter is out!"
"The hitter is out!"
"The hitter is out! Offensive and defensive exchange! "
Less than two minutes.
Asad eliminated three hitters.
It is worth mentioning.
In the original book, facing Kiryu Osaka, Furuya threw 100 shots and lost 11 points halfway through the fourth inning!
And Asad?
After shooting the fourth inning, he only used 37 balls and did not lose a single point!
Visible!
How much ball control is a big help for pitchers who are good at high-speed straight balls!
If Asad did not have the ball control .
He will probably be the same as the Furuya in the original book!
Not only is the number of pitches huge, but you also lose a lot of points!
