Invincible pitcher

Back to normal position!

Watching Sawamura adjust his position, Otomo Senjin immediately changed his position.

The duel between the two was silent but full of gunpowder.

Yokozuna's dugout.

Supervisor Takeda's heart sank inexplicably.

Sawamura actually changed positions! This shows that his previous position was just a whim, and it was not his trick at all.

The pitching stance that was enough to get nine strikeouts from the yokozuna batter turned out to be just a whim. This reality is too shocking.

Takeda's guess is not unfounded.

If Sawamura's position was deliberately honed, or it was his trump card, he had no reason to give up easily!

Since he gave up easily, it means that Sawamura has more confidence in pitching in his normal stance compared to that stance.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's eyes narrowed slightly.

Otomo's adjustment surprised him. He didn't expect the batter to feel so sharp.

"interesting!"

With a chuckle in his heart, Sawamura raised his legs high and then stepped out like a battle axe.

One foot fell, and the dust flew up.

As the centre of gravity shifted, the baseball in Sawamura's hand roared out.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball flew like laser light.

On the strike area, Otomo's face turned pale.

From what he felt, what flew in front of him didn't look like a small baseball, but a ferocious monster with a big mouth. The monster kept roaring as if it was going to devour him alive.

"ah!"

The teeth were biting on the tip of the tongue, and the severe pain made Otomo calm down. In the face of Sawamura's impressive pitch, he swung decisively on the first pitch.

"Bang!"

Fast, unimaginably fast, when Otomo swung his bat, the white baseball passed through the strike zone and got into Ren's glove.

"strike!"

Otomo swung the bat too late, so he could only watch the baseball go into the glove.

how is this possible?

Otomo glanced at the baseball in Ren's gloves in shock and was extremely horrified.

The baseball just now seemed to have suddenly accelerated in his eyes.

There is absolutely no problem with his swing timing, let alone hitting Sawamura's 130-kilometre ball, even if it is a 140-kilometre ball, Otomo can handle it. The timing of the swing was right, and the bat was still late, which means that the ball was indeed faster than he thought.

in the stands.

The small eyes of the old fox Hiromitsu were full of admiration.

"What a pure straight ball!"

Yokozuna's dugout.

Supervisor Takeda's face turned ashen. He was all too familiar with a ball like Sawamura.

"High-speed straight ball!"

The high-speed straight ball is not literally meant to be a high-speed straight ball.

The correct interpretation of a high-speed straight ball should be a high-quality straight ball.

What is a high-quality straight ball?

The fastest speed of a straight ball is the release speed. In the process of flying to the top of the home plate, this speed will continue to drop due to the obstruction of the earth's gravity and air. In general, the smaller the error between the speed at which the ball crosses over the home plate and the speed at which it was released, the higher the quality of the straight ball.

Even when Sawamura's shot passed above the plate, the speed of the ball hardly dropped.

So from the batter's point of view, the ball will appear very fast, and even feel like it has suddenly accelerated!

When Takeda was still playing on the professional court, high-speed straight balls were his trademark.

And Sawamura's talent in this regard, in Takeda's opinion, surpasses his own.

"Who is this kid?"

Takeda almost groaned.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura took the ball that Ren returned to him without changing his face.

In his previous life, Sawamura was known as the Little Prince of Breaking ball, and he wasn't just talking about his Breaking ball. Even the straight ball was played by Sawamura like a breaking ball, and it was very gorgeous.

He can shoot, almost any type of straight ball!

When Ren saw Sawamura's code to unlock all the straight balls, he knew that Sawamura was going to fight for this game.

Sawamura stretched out his entire body, his arms were flat like a pole and then stepped out low. As the centre of gravity of his body changed, the baseball in Sawamura's hand also threw out.

"Whoosh!"

This ball is so slow!

It looked as if the ball didn't have the slightest smell of fireworks.

It's an ordinary low-angle straight ball!

Otomo shook his head and put aside all the bad thoughts before, and shot at Sawamura decisively.

Although the ball looked slow, Otomo did not change his hitting rhythm because of the slowness of the ball. He still swung the bat according to the previous rhythm.

near, near.

It's now!

Biting the ball accurately and judging the timing, Otomo didn't hesitate to swing.

The ball was really good, he almost saw the ball being hit.

"Buzz!"

The bat was swung out, but the white ball disappeared.

Where's the ball?

"Bang!"

The baseball fell directly into Ren's glove.

"strike!"

The number of balls, two good and zero bad.

Otomo's eyes were full of wonder.

"This is the legendary moving straight ball!"

No leg lifts, seemingly silent, and the ball climbed quickly as it entered above the plate.

When Otomo came back to his senses and looked at Sawamura again, he suddenly had an extremely absurd feeling.

"A pitcher like you doesn't play hardball honestly and has a formal education in youth baseball. What kind of middle school baseball are you playing here?"

Although the softball league in middle school has a lot of people, the hardball league is relatively loose. But most of the baseball teenagers who are truly talented and dream of baseball will still receive formal hardball education.

The difference between the two is still huge.

The major leagues once did a statistic, that is, the vast majority of players active in the major leagues have never touched softball. They played hardball from the start.

For middle school students in island countries, the ratio of players who play softball and those who play hardball is very different, about 3:1!

From this ratio, we can see the difference between hardball education and softball education. If the hardball is described as a regular army, the players of the softball league can also be regarded as rural guerrillas.

In Otomo's view, Sawamura's strength, even in the regular team, is second to none.

Such a pitcher, going to the urban-rural border to show his prestige, really...

Don't let Otomo think about it, Sawamura's third pitch came.

The pitch of the ball is amazing!

Otomo, who has already been chased by two strikes, has no choice but to bite the bullet and swing.

"Buzz!"

The bat was swung out with no accident and did not touch the ball.

The white ball, like an elegant princess, is long overdue.

Last ball, change-up!

"strike!"

"strike out!"

Three outs, offence and defence exchange.

Meanwhile, Sawamura had his 10th strikeout of the game.

Sawamura struck out Otomo Senjin with a crushing gesture.

Such a blow, falling on Yokozuna, caught them off guard.

The current Sawamura is simply invincible to them.

They would like to ask: "How can such a role appear in the middle school softball league competition?"

Too much rule-breaking!
