Chapter 67: Bravery

On the pitcher's mound, Sanada looked at Sawamura who was standing on the strike zone, and complained inwardly.

Right now, he was thankful for the good intentions of Todoroki Raizou!

Mishima had a problem. There were signs of it as early as when he was thrown against Kominato Ryosuke.

When he faced Isashiki, that kind of sign had already turned into a situation.

Purely from the perspective of substitution, the most suitable time for substitution is actually after Kominato Ryosuke got the Four Balls.

At that time, substitution is the most beneficial for the situation!

Not only can you stop a few hits from Seidou High School, but you can also maximize the role of Ace pitcher Sanada.

Raizou knew that, but he did not do it.

The reason is simply that Sanada can avoid the fourth batter of Seidou High School.

Through the previous investigation and research, Yakushi High School found that Seidou High School is really a very aggressive team with a very aggressive lineup!

Among them, the most powerful Batter was the fourth batter of Seidou High School, Yuuki Tetsuya.

In the evaluation of Todoroki Raizou, Yuuki Tetsuya's swing is very remarkable.

In his own words, that Swing can be sold for money!

Just like the swing of Raichi, without any need for other skills, just relying on that swing can earn him a lot of money.

This is the current level of Seidou's Captain, Yuuki Tetsuya!

Todoroki Raizou would rather lose one more point than let Sanada face such a batter!

This is the reason why he has not replaced Mishima until then.

Of course, Sanada also understands the painstaking efforts of Todoroki Raizou.

It is clear that Seidou High School's lineup is not a one-man team. Even without their amazing fourth batter, none of the remaining guys are simple batters.

That is especially true for the guy standing in front of Sanada now.

The Demon-King Sawamura Eijun!

Hit, bunt, home run!

Whether it is a tactical bunt or a normal swing, his performance is dazzling and scary. So far, the batting average is on par with their Captain.

'And I encounter such a guy as soon as I play, it is really a headache!' Sanada thought in his head but still smiled.

When it comes to actually pitching, Sanada is not the one to give up at all.

Whoosh!

The small white ball, like a precise missile, is flying straight into the inner corner of the strike zone.

In the strike zone, Sawamura was ready.

'Here comes the ball!'

The speed of the ball is quite fast!

Don't look down at Sanada Shunpei's thin body, his pitching is very strong.

The first ball, Sawamura, didn't swing, and let the ball pass over.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

In the position of the catcher, Watanabe's heart tightened.

'That unpleasant feeling is here again!'

Just like their previous captain, It seems like no matter what you throw in, he can hit it for you.

"It's weird!"

However, the opponent did not use a short grip, which means that Sawamura will definitely swing at the ball.

'Bring it on!'

The bat in his hand was raised high and then kept shaking slightly.

In this way, Sawamura's bat looks very flexible, and it seems to be a little bigger than a normal bat.

This psychological suggestion obviously did not stump Shunpei Sanada.

'It's bluff, the guys at Yakushi won't be frightened by this bluffing.' Without stopping his momentum, he continued to pitch the ball

Whoosh!

The small white ball flew from Sanada's hand towards the top of the plate.

Sawamura on the strike zone stared at the flying white light without blinking.

'Here it comes!'

He was already behind by a Strike, and he did not intend to let this Strike go by.

'Now!'

With his stance opened, Sawamura took the time to swing the bat and hit the ball.

Ping!

The moment the bat touched the white ball, Sawamura's face suddenly became weird!

'This ball turned out to be a Straight ball!'

The bounced ball flew high and fell outside the boundary of first base.

The first baseman, Mishima Yuta, took a step forward and waited there.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

When Sawamura came off, he took a deep look at Sanada on the pitcher's mound.

He originally thought that Sanada would definitely throw a Moving in the second ball.

Because he is behind in the count, it is impossible for Sawamura to let go of the second Strike.

However, Sanada did not use his Moving but threw a Straight ball.

With a ball speed of 140 km/h, Sawamura has no way to accurately judge whether it is a Straight ball or a breaking. He must choose one to swing.

There is no doubt that Sawamura made the wrong choice right now!

However, Sanada Shunpei's guts really made Sawamura feel incredible.

Sanada Shunpei even dared to throw a Straight ball when he was sure that he would definitely swing the bat.

This guy's bravery is incredible!

It's not that Sawamura is bragging about his batting. But so far, Sawamura's batting is still amazing. It is not inferior even compared to Captain Yuuki.

In the face of such a strong batter, the opponent dared to use an ordinary Straight ball to decide the duel!

'As expected of Sanada-san!'

Back in the rest area, Sawamura raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.

"I am sorry!"

In fact, it was indeed his fault. Although Coach Kataoka did not order it, Sawamura should have used the bunt.

If he wanted to score steadily right now, Sawamura using a bunt to walk the runners to third base is undoubtedly the safest move.

"You first-year kids are too bad."

Kuramochi was on the side and taunted Sawamura, the not-so-obedient Kohai.

"Senpai, so far, I've hit a Home run, a long hit, three RBI, and a batting average of 67%…"

Sawamura reported his data and then stared at Kuramochi with innocent eyes.

'This little..!!'

This successfully made Kuramochi angry, the more he thought about it, the more furious he became. In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, and he decided to vent out.

"Is this how you talk to the Senpai?"

Just as Kuramochi was about to rush at Sawamura, a strong arm came from behind and hugged Kuramochi, who was about to run wild.

"Don't be brash, he might have to pitch later. By the way, I also hit a Home run today!"

This successfully destroyed Kuramochi's soul.

'Masuko-senpai! Not you too!'

Kuramochi suddenly felt abandoned by the world.

"Don't be spineless, just show it up on the field if you can, idiot."

At second base, Isashiki said impatiently while watching the farce in the rest area.

The game continues.

One Out, runners at first and second base.

"Sixth Batter, catcher, Miyuki-kun."

Right now, Miyuki stepped into the strike zone.

He looked at Sanada on the mound and nodded very politely.

The two are in the same grade, But before, Miyuki had never heard of the player called Sanada in Tokyo.

'He shouldn't be an elite from a junior club. but didn't expect his skills to be so good.'

Being able to fool Sawamura is not something ordinary pitchers can do.

Raising the bat, Miyuki was eagerly looking forward to the showdown with Sanada.

'He's a troublesome guy too!'

Sanada had seen it in the rest area before when Mishima was on the pitching mound and seemed to be very relaxed, taking Out one after another.

Now it's his turn to play.

Sanada subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, But he still smiled.

'Very dangerous~'

Against a lineup like Seidou High School, just relying on Mishima's blind cat's luck pitching, he actually fooled five almost six Outs?

This is really a blessing from the Divine.

If the batters from Seidou High School know Mishima's true information in advance, then Mishima will inevitably throw Yakushi High School off the cliff.

Even he was cautious when facing these batters from Seidou High School.

'Now is not the time to be timid!'

Putting aside all the miscellaneous thoughts. Sanada looked at Miyuki in confidence and challenge

T/N: Does anyone here think we need to bully Kuramochi more?
