Chapter 16: 100% hitting rate
"I don't know what you want to do."
"But to be on the safe side, it's better to be on guard."
The Yokohama catcher gave the pitcher a code word to pay attention to rolling the earth.
The pitcher nodded.
Subsequently.
Pitched the ball.
At the same time.
Asad slammed onto the ground, and his figure rushed out like a gust of wind.
Tread!
The fast and galloping pace attracted the attention of many viewers!
"Stealing the stronghold?"
"It's so bold!"
"Before the batter has struck, he actually dares to steal the base!"
"Wait! He's so fast! "
"It seems... Can it succeed? "
When the audience sees.
When Yokohama's catcher received the baseball, Asad was only one-third of the way from second base.
Time.
Everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks.
There was a little disbelief and a little anticipation on his face.
Shout!
The Yokohama catchers pass the ball to the second baseman as fast as they could.
Tread!
Asad was also desperately rushing forward!
It can be seen by all.
Asad and Baseball were rapidly approaching second base from two directions.
In terms of speed.
Baseball is clearly faster.
But in terms of distance.
Asad is closer to second base than baseball.
"Who arrives first?"
"Wow! Is the second game so exciting? "
"Come on! Asad!! "
"Rush!"
Many viewers couldn't help but open their mouths to cheer for Asad.
And passers-by are cheering.
A cheerleader team of members of the Seido high.
Nature shouts louder and neater.
Boom!
Just listen to a thump!
The baseball got into the second baseman's baseball glove!
But!
Before half a second!
Asad's right foot took the lead in stepping on the second base!
"Get on the base safely!"
The sharp-eyed second base referee announced the result loudly.
"Oooo
The audience and the members of the seido high cheered loudly with excitement.
"It really worked!"
"This kid is not only bold, but also incredibly fast!"
"Seido has found the treasure!"
"What a thrill! Almost killed! "
Some of the calmer audience also sighed at this time.
"Abominable!"
Yokohama's pitchers and catchers were annoyed.
They didn't expect that.
Asad dared to steal the base before the pitcher had thrown the ball.
The most important thing is!
And the theft was successful!
However!
What they don't know is....
This one robbery is just the beginning....
Swish!
When the pitcher made a pitching action again, Asad instantly rushed out!
"You even dare to steal the 3rd base?!"
The Yokohama catcher was instantly blown up!
He felt that Asad was underestimating them!
"Abominable brat!"
The catcher was full of anger and threw it at third base the moment he caught the ball.
Shout!
Baseballs fly fast and reach third basemen in the blink of an eye!
But!
The moment the third baseman catches the ball!
Asad's foot also stepped on the base bag of third base!
In baseball games.
If it is an active base.
Or rather, if it's a stolen base.
So!
The defending side must touch the runner's body with the ball in order to get the runner out!
In other words....
After the third baseman catches the ball....
If you want to eliminate Asad, you have to hold the ball and touch Asad's body...
But!
The premise is that Asad's body did not touch the base bag of third base!
When Asad had already touched the base bag of third base...
Even if the third baseman touches Asad with the ball, he can't eliminate Asad!
"Get on the base safely!"
The third-base referee loudly announced the result.
"And... It worked out again! "
"Steal the stronghold twice in a row, and steal it?"
"This... This..."
"Am I really not hallucinating?"
The audience was stunned by Asad's behavior.
Many people even wiped their eyes several times, as if to see if there was an illusion.
It turned out!
Everything is real!
"There are people at third base, one person is out, what a chance!"
"It depends on the eighth stick of seido, whether it can be grasped or not!"
"As long as you play a relatively good touch ball. Asad definitely can return to home plate!"
Wait until the audience comes to their senses.
Suddenly, I found that seido, who had no hope of scoring.
Unexpectedly, under Asad's efforts.
Great scoring opportunities appeared.
Of course.
Although the chances are good.
But the person who stands in the strike seat is, after all, the eighth baseman.
In general.
Stick Echigo.
The weaker the strike capability.
And a team ....
That's nine sticks in total....
The eighth stick belongs to the penultimate stick....
But!
The audience does not know Kenjiro Hakushu, but Asad does!
He who has read the original!
It is clear that this second-year senior is very good at touching short hits!
So say....
Later, you can rush when you see the opportunity!
Asad looked serious, and at the same time, his steps moved towards the direction of home plate little by little!
Shout!
The pitcher in Yokohama immediately passed the ball to third base!
But Asad, who is also a [world-class experience], reacted as soon as possible!
I saw him pounce!
Just before the baseball was caught by the third baseman, he touched the third bases' baseball bag!
"Get on the base safely!"
The third-base referee immediately announced.
"Very good sense of defense!"
"But with my reflexes and speed, I can go a little further!"
Asad stood up.
He patted the dust on his body.
Subsequently.
Leave the base bag at third base again and continue closer to home plate!
This time!
The distance between him and third base is even greater than just now!
Looked at.
The Yokohama pitcher wanted to pitch, but couldn't stand the provocation, so he passed the ball to the third baseman.
It's a pity!
Asad was the first to return to third base again!
"Ten more times, you won't be able to block me!"
Asad smiled lightly and spoke: "Instead of focusing on me, it is better to concentrate on dealing with the beaters." "
"Speak loudly!"
The pitcher in Yokohama was clearly.
Seeing that Asad was away from third base again, he passed the ball to the third baseman again without saying a word.
It's a pity....
Although his ball is fast, Asad is faster!
"Gee."
"This kid makes his opponent more uncomfortable than me."
"I feel like he's better suited to be the first baseman than I am."
In the rest area of Qingdao, Yoichi Kuramori said with a chuckle.
"The first stick is too talented."
"His hit rate seems to be 100 percent, right?"
"Anyway, I don't think I saw him miss a shot once?"
Second baseman Ryosuke Kominato thought for a moment and spoke.
"It's more than 100%!"
"Every time he stood in the batter's seat, he swung the bat on his first pitch and hit it!"
"The most important thing is!"
"The baseball landed cleverly and was fast, making it difficult for third basemen to intercept!"
Tetsuya Yuki, the captain and four bases, said in a deep voice.
Kataoka Tetsushin sitting in the first row.
Looking at Asad, who was on the court, constantly affecting the pitcher by staying away from third base.
Listen to the praise of the main players of the first army.
Suddenly a little regretted letting Asad serve as the seventh baseman.
If Asad's batter was slightly advanced, he might have already scored in the first game.
