Chapter 23: Chris

" I have already started practicing a year ago '

"Every day when I practice privately."

"I will take a little time to practice."

But ball control was not good enough to use it in matches that's why I didn't bring it into everyday practice.

Asad responded with a smile.

Miyuki: "..."

After a moment of silence.

Miyuki said with extremely complicated feelings: "Your talent is really perverted! "

As a catcher within the team.

Miyuki usually spends a lot of time researching other teams.

It's been a long time.

Naturally, I learned general information about other schools.

But!

So many schools!

Miyuki was stunned that he didn't see a person with a stronger talent than Asad!

Even those long-established baseball geniuses....

After comparing with Asad, you will find that it is actually just that...

"Hahaha~~"

"I think so too!"

Asad replied a little cautiously.

But.

So many people all over the world.

Only you get System.

In a sense.

Doesn't this also illustrate his 'talent'?

"Then, the tactical thing troubles you to think about."

Say it.

Asad left here and continued to train.

"Do you trust me so much without any opinion at all?"

Miyuki shook his head in tears.

He partnered a lot of pitchers.

Naturally, I also know that many pitchers have their own persistence.

But Asad didn't.

In the competition, no matter what instructions Miyuki gives, Asad will do so.

This feeling of being trusted.

I have to say, it's really great!

In fact.

Asad also knew the ability of Miyuki that he would completely leave the tactics to Miyuki to formulate.

He thinks.

Leaving professional things to professional people will be more efficient.

And the thing about the ball.

Apparently Miyuki is more professional than him.

...

June.

First week.

Sawamura was arranged by Coach.

As usual, the practice of 'pitching without the ball using a towel' was carried out.

Rei Takashima brought him good news.

This Sunday's Second team Practice Match.

Sawamura got the chance to make an appearance.

In order to put a little pressure on Sawamura, Rei Takashima also told him that this practice match was the last practice session before the summer conference.

If not played well.

Until the end of that summer conference, there was no chance to enter the first team.

...

Saturday of the first week.

The Seido 1st team went to the Jingu Second Stadium to participate in the third round of the Kanto Conference.

The opponent of this round.

Much stronger than the second round.

But compared to seido, it seems very weak.

A piece of cake.

Seido defeated his opponent.

So far.

Seido reached the fourth round (semifinals) of the Kanto Tournament.

Thereupon.

More and more people pay attention to seido.

...

Sunday of the first week.

The Second team of seido faced the Heishikan High School.

In Tokyo.

The Heishikan is also a famous baseball club.

If you can get the praise of the word 'famous school', your strength will naturally not be bad.

So.

The pressure on the Second team of seido was great.

But this is the last chance to perform.

If missed.

It will not be possible to enter the First team.

Therefore!

The faces of everyone in the Second team were full of fighting spirit!

But.

Just getting started.

Sawamura threw the ball high.

After a brief consternation at the scene, the players of the Heishikan couldn't help but let out laughter.

"What!"

"Hey, did you make a big splash at the beginning?"

"Don't you look at the catcher's gloves at all?"

"Get out of here!"

"This kind of garbage pitcher even has a face on the field?"

In the face of taunts.

Sawamura showed an embarrassed look.

The heart said: "Oops! "

"It's not the same as throwing a towel..."

"You have to find the feel as soon as possible..."

Some anxious mentality.

Sawamura threw the ball again.

In the eyes of the catcher, Sawamura's pitching posture completely hides the baseball.

This makes baseball come out quite late.

By the time you see the ball, it's near.

"What's going on with this guy?"

"It is completely impossible to predict the trajectory of his pitch!"

Because the catcher is not strong enough.

Or I haven't practiced with Sawamura and don't know Sawamura's pitching style at all.

So there is no way to bring out the characteristics of Sawamura.

And Sawamura used a towel to practice the pitching posture for a long time, and he did not touch the ball for too long, and without better guidance, all the thrown balls could not enter the good ball area.

Even.

Occasionally, he will hit his opponent, causing a touch ball and making it easy for the opponent to get to base.

The two work together poorly.

Let seido fall into a huge crisis at the beginning with no one out and full base.

"It's going to be over!"

Many viewers have lost hope in Sawamura.

Some people even shouted the slogan of 'change of pitcher', and many people shouted together.

Right at this time.

Coach Kataoka gave the order to change.

But it was not the pitcher Sawamura who was replaced, but the catcher.

As for the one who played in his place, it was Chris, who was in third grade.

As the only catcher that Miyuki cannot defeat, Chris's strength is naturally very strong.

But....

After Sawamura changes his pitching posture.

Chris is also working with Sawamura for the first time.

So.

The first goal was still not caught.

However

Despite the ball flying out of the glove!

But Chris immediately moved his body!

Block the ball in front of you and prevent the runner at third base from returning to home run to score!

And then....

Under Chris's arrangement!

Sawamura takes the previous pitching position and throws a 'straight ball in the middle'!

Of course!

Since Sawamura's balls will float!

So the batter thinks he can play outfield, but in fact, he only hits the infield bouncing ball!

Despite the high bullet, it jumped over Sawamura's head in an instant.

But!

Kominato Haruichi jumped up in time to grab the ball!

Moreover!

Before it landed, the ball was passed to home run!

"Oooo

"Actually catching and passing in the air!"

"The runner who rushed to home plate is banned!"

"The crisis of losing points has been resolved!"

Boom!

As the baseball was caught by Chris, the third base runner who rushed to home plate was directly blocked out!

"But the infielders are all at the front!"

"There is no one at first base!"

When the audience is talking.

Chris didn't hesitate to pass the ball to first base!

Next moment!

The right fielder appeared at first base and followed Chris's pass.

"Huh!?"

"When did the right fielder show up at first base?"

"It won't! I actually killed the runner who rushed to home plate and first base! "

"Shouldn't they have planned to do this in the first place?"

"The scene of no one out of the game and full base suddenly becomes two people out, and there are people at second and third base!"

"Who the hell is that catcher?!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

Everyone looked at Chris's gaze, full of disbelief.

They never expected it.

It was just a big crisis.

Now as soon as Chris plays, he is actually dissolved!

And!

Also eliminated two people!

On the field.

Third base runner at the Heishikan.

Prepare with a serious and focused face.

"That pitcher's ability to control the ball is extremely unstable."

"As soon as I have the chance, I will rush back to home plate!"

...

Seido Rest Area.

Minister Ota said in a panic

"Although Chris completed the double kill."

"But... But..."

"It was pure luck this time to get the opponent out."

"If you don't hold it, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Coach Kataoka held his hands and said lightly: "He deliberately uses forward defense, using this provocative defense to induce the opposing batters to swing the bat vigorously." "

"Then use Sawamura's new posture - pitching that can't see the ball point and impress the opposing batter!"

"Finally, let Sawamura use his previous posture and throw that kind of straight red ball that will drift."

"Chris set two or three traps."

"Plus the full cooperation of the defender."

"The success this time is definitely not based on luck!"

As soon as these words came out.

Minister Ota was instantly speechless.

...

Meanwhile.

In the middle of the stadium.

The next moment Chris caught Sawamura's pitch, he jerked the ball to third base.

And the third base runner in the Heishikan.

I thought that Sawamura's control was poor and that the catcher would miss it.

So.

The first time Sawamura pitched, it was launched.

The result was not expected.

Chris not only caught it accurately, but also passed the ball to third base at the first time.

Thereupon.

Hurriedly ran back.

But by the time he turned around, baseball had surpassed him!

When the runner pounced on third base.

The third baseman has caught the ball and is the first to touch the runner with his ball holding glove before he touches third base.

"OUT!"

The third-base referee immediately announced the result.

"Oooo

"Too... That's awesome! "

"The runner who wanted to sneak back to home plate was knocked out by the electric pinning ball!"

"With just three goals, three runners were eliminated, completely resolving the big crisis of no one out of the base!"

"As soon as that catcher came on, the whole situation was instantly reversed!"

This moment.

Everyone was impressed by Chris's strength.

"That's awesome!"

"It's worthy of Senior Chris!"

"On the contrary, it's me, I didn't do anything!"

And Chris's new fan brother Sawamura shouted even more excitedly.

"Is this person's shoulder really injured?"

"How could he be so strong?"

"Is this really a performance that I haven't competed in all year?!"

"The one-year gap doesn't have the slightest effect on him!"

The other members of the Second team also exclaimed one after another, and their hearts were greatly shocked.

"That's awesome!"

"Why would such a powerful person stay in the Second team?"

Outside the court, first-year manager Haruno Yoshikawa also exclaimed.

"Because in the year that Senior Chris entered the seido that year everyone else's skills are poor except him."

Asad walked to Fujiwara Takako's side and replied with a smile: "And the people around him are looking forward to him very much, in order to live up to this expectation, Senior Chris has been hiding his shoulder injury and has been competing." "

"As the number of games increased, the shoulder injury continued to worsen and finally flared up, resulting in the inability to play baseball."

"If Coach Kataoka hadn't asked him to stay on the team to coach the other players, he might have quit the baseball club."

Takako Fujiwara was surprised: "You actually know Chris so well?" "

Asad smiled: "I heard that Senior Chris's strength far exceeds that of Miyuki, so I inquired because I was curious." "
