3 up and 3 down

Two outs, and no one on base.

"The third batter, catcher, Yamanaka-san."

After two consecutive strikeouts, it was Yokozuna's turn to hit the terrifying core.

Shikanosuke Yamanaka, the catcher of Yokozuna, is also called the coach on the field by his teammates and is known for his careful thought. It is Kanagawa's well-deserved number-one catcher!

After he stood in the strike zone, he kept recalling the scene where his teammates had just been dealt with in his mind.

"Nishimura can swing so badly! And the second bat made the exact same mistake as him..."

One person is a coincidence, two consecutive people swing the baseball 20 centimetres less than the baseball, which cannot be explained by coincidence. This pitcher must have mastered the nirvana that we didn't know before.

Is it a match ball? Or the pitcher himself pitching.

Shikanosuke Yamanaka looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound attentively, and suddenly felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

Isn't the pitcher's position a bit strange? Although the southpaw pitcher's position is biased towards first base to a certain extent. But you are too biased, aren't you?

He didn't realize it before, but when Yamanaka came back to his senses, he realized that Sawamura's feet were almost on the edge of the pitcher's mound near first base.

I see!

The corners of Yamanaka's mouth curled up, and he had to admit that Sawamura was really a genius, and he found all such small loopholes.

But how long can this little trick last?

Let's just wait and see!

The bat in his hand was raised high, and on the first ball, Yamanaka took the stance of swinging the bat directly.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura never looked away from the batter. Seeing that the opponent wanted to swing, he made a decisive pitch.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew out of Sawamura's hand like a white lightning bolt.

On the strike zone, Yamanaka, who was in a strike position, he didn't swing his bat. His eyes were fixed on the flying baseball without blinking.

Because Sawamura was standing on the side of first base, and he was originally a left pitcher. So, he threw the ball over, and the angle looked particularly big.

From the batter's point of view, the ball looks like a standard inside corner and even looks a bit like a sideline inside corner.

"Bang!"

Yamanaka look at the ball into Ren's glove, and couldn't help giving Sawamura thirty-two likes in his heart.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yamanaka wouldn't have believed that someone in middle school could throw such a ball. The huge right angle difference makes the ordinary straight ball into a magic ball-like existence.

If the batter swings the bat based on what he sees with his own eyes, the flight path of the ball, it is quite normal to have errors!

Because what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true. The reason why left-handers are popular is that they have the advantage of angles against right-handers. And Sawamura maximized this advantage.

Of course, not everyone can do this. Where the pitcher stands and what pitches are pitched, are gradually fixed with the pitcher's accumulated practice. Once the stance or posture changes, their ball control is generally difficult to avoid problems.

Like Sawamura, after the huge change in the position, the ball control is not affected at all, it can only be attributed to talent!

Coach Takeda is sure because he discovered this long ago that he would say that Sawamura is a real genius.

on the mound.

Seeing that Yamanaka's first ball didn't swing, Sawamura knew that he should have been seen through when he switched positions and pitched.

"The little brat right now is really scary."

He complained in his heart, but Sawamura didn't take it to heart. Don't underestimate the baseball in this country, despite the young age, physical fitness has not grown to the peak. But some kids are already very good at playing. After all, it's not all about physical fitness but sometimes mind.

Don't look down on these little devils, they are enough for adults to drink a pot.

"However, my stance is not as easy as you think."

Muttering inwardly, Sawamura threw his second ball.

Yamanaka, who was already behind by a strike, naturally would not be indifferent to the ball, and he swung decisively.

He deliberately adjusted his swing, and he really hit the ball.

"Clang!"

After the white ball was hit, it bounced out of bounds.

"Foul!"

Although Yamanaka found the trick to swinging the bat, this misalignment of sight is not so easy to adjust, and he still needs to adapt.

It's just a pity that Sawamura didn't give him a chance to adapt, and there was no stagnation. Sawamura's third goal came.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew straight towards the lower body of Yamanaka.

This is, hit the nail on the head!

Once hit, Yamanaka can go to work in the palace.

Almost subconsciously, without thinking through the brain, Yamanaka's bat froze, avoiding the direction the baseball came.

"Bang!"

"strike!"

"strike out!!!"

Nine pitches in a row, three strikeouts. Sawamura didn't waste a ball, and let Yokozuna's line hit three times.

In this scene, all the fans watching the scene, have their mouths dry.

powerful! He is fucking too strong!

The pitcher single-handedly suppressed the Yokozuna, the national hegemon, without any power to fight back.

This scene, just thinking about it, makes people very intoxicated.

Under the leadership of the two presidents, Hayashi and Kobayashi, the brothers of the Brotherhood of Hearts have completely fallen into madness.

That's how it is, that's how it is!

Their emotions can no longer be described in words. At this time, any language is too poor to express their exciting emotions.

But it felt like this was what it was supposed to be, or that was what Sawamura should be.

In addition to Akagi's die-hard supporters, many neutral audiences were also drawn over by Sawamura's powerful performance.

"Who is this kid? This is too strong!"

"Sawamura, Sawamura Eijun. Among the middle school all-star players of "Baseball Boys", the only player with a comprehensive score exceeding the twelve kings. The 'uncrowned king' Sawamura Eijun."

"That 'Baseball Boy' is really insightful."

"Why is such a pitcher buried until now?"

"That's why the Kanto Conference is interesting. Originally, I thought Yokozuna would win, but now it seems that this is not the case at all."

in the corner of the stand.

The players of Tenryuji, like eggplants beaten by stone, lowered their heads and did not speak.

They really didn't expect that Sawamura would keep such a hand.

"Akagi won the match against both Okita and Nagano!"

The assistant coach of Tenryuji couldn't help but sigh.

The overwhelming victory means that no one knows whether Akagi has reservations.

"That's why this investigation is particularly meaningful."

The old fox Yamano Hiromitsu glanced at his proud disciple Nanami and couldn't help feeling sorry for Nanami.

Since there are seven seas, why should there be a Sawamura?
