Chapter 58: You Serious?

The Coach of Coach Nishidera just stared straight at the person in front of him.

That is Akutsu!

In his memory, he was a bit straightforward, and his relationship with the players around him was particularly good. Even if he was not talkative, but generally speaking, the team still respects Akutsu.

Akutsu himself is not hard to deal with.

Even Nishidera regards Akutsu as his proud student and the Ace in the team.

Now, Coach Nishidera doesn't seem to know the person in front of him at all.

Is he really the Akutsu he knew?

He asked himself, but Coach Nishidera didn't dare to nod his head to confirm, is this really his proud student?

"Are you serious?"

Coach Nishidera's eyes, like fish bags, flashed with disappointment.

"Yes!"

"No joke?"

"No joke."

"How many innings?"

"It's useless to talk about a few innings. Let's talk about the count. I can only throw fifty balls at the top shape."

"Okay!"

After all, the Coach of Coach Nishidera has seen the world and won the Championships before. Although Akutsu's request made him feel a little uncomfortable, he knew that Akutsu must have his reasons.

Akutsu probably felt that once he had a physical problem, there was no way to suppress the batters at Seidou High School.

Objectively speaking, Akutsu's concerns cannot be rightly wrong.

It's just that for a high school player, he is too lacking in the fighting spirit. If you can't challenge your own limits, how can players surpass themselves in the future?

'This guy may not be suitable to be a baseball player.' Nishidera looked at Akutsu blankly.

On the field, Sawamura has successfully won three Outs.

Starting with Hirahara the fifth batter, then the sixth bat, and the seventh batter.

Hirahara hit a fly high, the sixth was shut Out, and the seventh was struck Out.

In this inning, Sawamura only threw six balls and scored three Outs.

At the end of the four innings, Sawamura threw a handful of balls.

"The rhythm is kept so well!"

In the stands, several draft scouts were already salivating at Sawamura.

So staple!

Of course, Sawamura's terrifying strength is just one aspect of his stableness. The most attractive thing about Sawamura is that he still has a group of loyal fans.

"The baseball players with this appeal in the past 20 years have been Ichiro Suzuki and the current Sawamura Eijun in front of us right now."

More than ten years ago, an article about a genius Batter called Suzuki Ichiro became a legendary superstar.

Now the Maou shows the same star aura with a stronger performance.

"He will surpass Ichiro!" One of the scouts disagreed.

"Whoever can win this guy, it is absolutely no less than winning a huge gold mine." said one of the seasoned scouts.

It was no longer realistic to think about approaching Sawamura quietly as before. It is conceivable that when Sawamura graduates and enters the profession, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation.

At that time, not only local professional baseball, but even Major League scouts would not let Sawamura go.

It will be an extraordinary event!

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

The game went into the second half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked.

Seidou High School's lineup is now on the seventh batter, and the Batter is the catcher, Takigawa Chris.

Before hitting the field, Chris was still simulating in his mind how to deal with Akutsu. And he has to say that playing against Akutsu really gave Seidou a headache.

He has terrifying strength in himself, but this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is that this guy is shameless.

As the Ace pitcher of the Koshien Championship candidate, he didn't even care about his reputation at all. In the face of a batter who can threaten him, instead of challenging him, he directly Walk the batter to base and only challenges the opponents that he is more confident against and takes Outs from them.

If the opponent doesn't have the strength, it's fine to play like this, anyway, it can be said that he has self-knowledge. But Akutsu is obviously not like this. He has strength, and his strength is very strong, but he is a coward and doesn't want to take risks.

Seidou's line-up against him is like a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to go.

'We have to find a way to get on base!'

Halfway through the game, Seidou has yet to score a point.

'This cannot go on!'

'We must attack the opponent as soon as possible!'

Chris thought very well, but after he played, he was very surprised to find that his opponent had made a substitution.

What the hell?

Chris always keeps his calm, but right now, he is completely confused.

From his knowledge, he probably couldn't think of anyone who would take the initiative to take a break right now.

Seidou's rest area, seeing that the pitcher at Seihou High School was changed to a third-year substitute, and Akutsu went to first base to defend the first base.

Everyone in Seidou was a little silent.

Did they get something wrong? This is not a place for children to play, this is the stadium of Koshien, the top baseball palace in the country!

"Did the opponent give up the game?" Kuramochi frowned.

"I hope so, but it shouldn't be possible." Miyuki shook his head with a wry smile.

Sawamura looked at the rest area of ​​Seihou High School and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, the timing of the substitution is really good!"

'Eh?'

Everyone turned to look at Sawamura, not understanding what he meant.

"Shisho is very similar to Miyuki-senpai. He is a batter who guesses and swings against the opponent who he has information on. And now, a pitcher without any information suddenly appeared. I am afraid that Chris-shisho will not adapt to it."

As if prophesied, Chris was Out as soon as Sawamura's words ended.

Ping!

The white ball was hit and landed next to the shortstop.

After the shortstop of Seihou High School received the ball, it passed directly to the first base Akutsu.

"OUT!"

Chris' face was a little cold.

The short duel allowed him to see a lot of information about his opponent.

'The ball speed is about 135 km/h, and the ball control is still good. The ball path he is good at is vertical and horizontal Sliders…'

'Although it was a bit difficult, it should be no problem to deal with him.'

It's just that Seidou's batters also need time to get used to the pitcher's ball. And once Seidou got used to being the backup pitcher of Seihou High School, he would probably be replaced.

Even if this information is collected, it is useless.

After Chris was Out, it was Shiratsu's turn at bat.
