It is necessary to have that capacity

That sharp curveball, coupled with his 180 cm height advantage, was enough for Tanba-Senpai to defeat most batters.

In terms of confrontation, the difference is just plain to see.

"Whoosh."

"Snap."

"Strike!!!"

"Batter out!!!"

With his excellent curveball, Tanba-Senpai quickly took control of the game, firmly suppressing Saigo High School's batter's lineup. Perhaps in terms of mental stability, Tanba-Senpai is completely inferior to Inoue-senpai, but when it comes to pitching with a big advantage, Tanba-senpai's posture of pitching with complete freedom can completely crush the opponent's batting lineup, making it impossible for the opponent to find the slightest opportunity to fight back.

Tanba-senpai's very bold pitching style in the field can be said to be a crushing pitching display.

It also refreshed Shigeno's perception of this senpai.

Shigeno is also reawakened to the fact that the reason why Tanba-senpai is criticized and not considered a qualified ace is not that Tanba-senpai is not strong enough.

Rather, this senpai has a fatal problem in his mentality that cannot be reversed.

In the end, the original Tanba-senpai if he can change that in the critical moment a collapse can not be saved, their mentality also collapsed, I'm afraid, has long been sitting ace position, and can become only one step worse than Narumiya Mei, Seidou High School will not play so hard, at least, in their sophomore fall tournament, Narumiya Mei that guy is still immersed in the summer tournament burst pitching, and thus fell, pitching posture are a bit out of shape period, with their own that superb batting lineup.

Tanba-senpai can be tough for once.

He could show the same kind of performance he had in the training games and the same kind of sharp pitching form in the dominant innings.

Showing a true ace posture when facing Ichidaisan High School.

Perhaps, Seidou High School will be able to beat Ichidaisan High School and get the right to play in the Spring Invitational Tournament (Senbatsu) next year.

Looking at Tanba-senpai, who was in complete control of the situation on the mound, Shigeno thought silently in his heart.

But there are no ifs and no maybes about these things.

The current Tanba-senpai, because there are Inoue-senpai in front of him, his problems are not fully exposed, enough height, coupled with a sharp curveball, the entire baseball department still put a lot of expectations on Tanba-senpai, Coach Kataoka also thinks Tanba-senpai is capable of being called a national level pitcher, as long as the angles can be a little more distinct, not so shy.

The best candidate for the ace position is the future 3rd year 185 cm tall pitcher, Tanba Kouichirou.

At the very least, at this stage.

Tanba-senpai hasn't exposed himself as a weakling in the main event yet.

Tanba-senpai, who is only considered to be somewhat shy and introverted by nature, still has high expectations.

"Phew."

"Snap."

"Strike!!!"

"Phew"

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Foul!!!"

From the sixth inning onwards, Saigo High School was completely unable to pose any substantial danger to the Seidou High School defense, barely managing to get a hit, and the runners could only stay on the first base bag, not to mention the additional runs.

The fifth inning became a dividing line of the game in general.

In the top of the sixth inning, Tanba-senpai struck out three batters in a row, and in the top of the seventh inning, except for the leadoff batter who caught the outside corner and stepped on first base with a hit to left field, the following batters, one forced the batter to hit an infield high fly ball with an inside corner, one struck out, and the last one tried to reach base with a safe hit, but unfortunately was caught by Seidou High School on full alert.

The first base was blocked out.

Two innings of great pitching.

The morale that Saigo High School had managed to raise was completely dissipated.

And, starting from the bottom of the sixth inning onward.

Seidou High School found its touch again, and the continuous hitting, forced Saigo High School ace Jonouchi, and the bean drops of sweat kept dripping down, and with each hit, Jonouchi's face became paler and paler, feeling the power of Seidou High School's batting lineup, and Jonouchi's inner will was gradually collapsing.

"Whoosh."

"Swish."

"BANG!!!"

Until the bottom of the seventh inning, a terrifying blow came from the monster batter of Seidou High School's 4th batter, Azuma-senpai!

As exaggerated loud laughter rang out in that batter's box.

The ball light went straight into the soul with one shot.

It flashed suddenly between the sky.

"Phew."

"BANG!!!"

Without the slightest breath of stagnation.

The scene of the ball hitting the electronic scoreboard in the sky above Nagano made Saigo High School's ace pitcher Jonouchi's face completely pale.

It also caused the audience to burst out in cheers.

The super-long three-run home run from the monster in the center field.

It directly extended the difference to the point of nine points.

While directly defeating the ace of Saigo High School, it also announced the end of the game.

10 x 1, Seidou High School defeated Saigo High School from East Tokyo by an overwhelming margin.

It took the victory of the spring tournament first-round match directly.

"Salute!!!"

"Thank you for the game!!!"

By the end of the match.

The game was over, but this close-up event was a great opportunity for Shigeno to learn a lot of things about what is the biggest difference between high school baseball and junior high school baseball.

The most essential difference is reflected in the difference in the level of competition, right?

Of course, it is not only limited to this.

For Shigeno.

After today's game, he realized more clearly what he needs to do next, and that is to make himself more integrated into the team, the baseball game is a team competition, and the individual shows may be very pleasing to the eye, but not the team competition needs.

Team victory.

That is the real victory.

If you only care about the individual strength but ignore the overall strength, ignore the most critical teamwork, then, even if the individual is strong, their strength can not play out, in the baseball game, for the pitcher, is a more important law.

At the very least.

In Shigeno's opinion, the strength of Inoue-senpai limits the play of Chris-senpai.

Complement each other.

Interdependence.

Depend on each other.

Each other is a vessel.

This is the real pitcher and catcher battery

The center of the field.

That's where the soul of the whole team is.

One must have such awareness and the capacity to be able to stand in that position.

With the awareness and the ability to take on everything!

Before leaving the field.

Shigeno's eyes flashed a bright color.
