Chapter 179: Shifting Gears

Komadai High School just replaced an injured catcher and is about to replace their well-performing Ace.

For the time being, the players of Seidou High School didn't know about this matter, and they were still discussing with great concentration how to defeat Nitta.

This is also a bit of a lightheartedness, although the previous Komadai catcher's injury has nothing to do with them. But after all, he was injured, and the players of Seidou High School inevitably felt a little guilty.

They pretended to chat casually, but also wanted to suppress this feeling in their hearts and focus on the task in front of them.

To win this game!

They can't be merciful just because their opponent is injured, that would be disrespectful to the opponent and to all the people who supported them.

In the second half of the fifth inning, the Komadai Fujimaki attacked.

It was the fourth Batter of Komadai turn to attack.

The players of Seidou High School changed their equipment and began to go to the field one after another.

Before going on the field, Sawamura suddenly told his teammates around him.

"Before going to the field, I want to tell everyone that the balls will come flying! Everyone in the back please take care of me!"

These words made everyone stunned for a while, but fortunately, they were not stupid and immediately understood what Sawamura meant.

He's about to change gears!

Kominato Ryosuke still had a smile on his face: "It's about time, you won't be reckless alone."

Yuuki: "Rest assured and pitch to contact!"

Masuko: "Ugah!"

Isashiki: "Keep them coming, I will catch all of them."

Kuramochi: "I can't wait."

Shiratsu: "…"

Sakai: "Go Ace!"

All of these teammates did support Sawamura's decision.

They knew that since Sawamura made such a choice, he must have his reasons. Although it was quite enjoyable listening to the commentator who shouted hoarsely about the breaking of the record.

Even if it wasn't them who broke the record, but their teammate, they felt honored.

Since last night, their emotions have been closely connected with Sawamura. They are all comrades-in-arms wearing the school uniforms of Seidou High School and working hard for the honor of Seidou High School.

The fourth batter of Komadai is the outfielder who has just been replaced.

Looks like this situation Komadai High School has not even thought of this before the game.

The most important fourth batter of their team turned out to be their own substitute.

But there is no way, the rules are like this, even if the catcher Sato comes off because of an injury, the person who replaces him will also take his place and serve as the fourth Batter.

The Batter of Komadai High School was angry and furious.

Sawamura Eijun, who originally existed in his mind like a ferocious Demon King, after thinking about the injured teammate, Sawamura does not seem to be as terrifying as he imagined.

'This guy's pitching is not as fast, strong, and invincible as we imagined.'

Even if he saw Sawamura Eijun's pitching for the first time, and he was not familiar with his strange Pitching Form, he seemed confident that he could hit the ball.

'I can hit!!'

'I will hit it!!!'

Whoosh!

The white ball was like a sharp arrow, flying towards the top of the home plate.

The eyes of the batter on the strike zone were wide open, carefully observing Sawamura Eijun's ball path, while silently calculating the timing of his swing.

The speed of the ball is very fast, and although the position is not tricky, it is not sweet.

If you look at this Pitch by Sawamura Eijun from a side angle, you might think it is a very good quality Pitch.

But looking at the strike zone, the results are very different.

The position where Sawamura Eijun is now pitching is comfortable to swing at.

The batter feels that he can swing the bat and hit the ball.

'Here it comes!'

The timing was right, and before the baseball got close to home plate, the batter swung the bat with all of his power.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew high.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura Eijun opened his Mitt as if nothing had happened, and steadily caught the ball in his Mitt.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

"Swallow's Homecoming!!"

Seeing such a magical stunt again, the fans on the stands, the audience of nearly 60,000 to 70,000, and the millions of fans in front of the TV were all excited.

In a corner of the stand, a spectator who came to watch the game on purpose was trembling with anger.

This was originally his own stunt to become famous, but he didn't expect that he wasn't the one to get the fame, but was stolen by Sawamura Eijun.

After stealing it, this stunt was also carried forward.

If he uses it in the future, he won't be misunderstood, is he imitating Sawamura?

That would be really frustrating and embarrassing.

In the dugout at Komadai Fujimaki High School, Coach Nitta's expression became a little weird.

To be honest, he didn't expect Sawamura to change his pitching rhythm right now.

The commentators have done their job well and hyped the young man to the sky. As a hot-blooded young man, why does Sawamura have no urge to show off at all?

Shouldn't he keep Striking Out to set a new record?

His Strikeouts have no wasted ball, the fewest pitches possible, and almost no Balls were thrown.

Even if all nine innings are won with strikeouts, the number of pitches is about 100.

But he gave up that to keep his rhythm for the team.

"The young people today are really scary!" Coach Nitta sighed.

"The opponent's pitching rhythm has changed, now there should be more Moving balls and fast Straight balls. So, never give up."

"Yes!"

For the situation in front of them, the players of Komadai Fujimaki High School were obviously mentally prepared.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the fourth inning, they planned to do this. It was only the fourth inning, but Sawamura Eijun did not change to the Moving ball as he did before.

Fortunately, it is not too late to re-implement this tactic now.

As soon as the fifth batter enters the field, he makes a stance for a long hit.

In the position of the catcher, Chris was keenly aware of the changes in the players of the Komadai Fujimaki High School.

'It's so fast!'

With just one batter's confrontation, the people at Komadai Fujimaki High School were already aware of the change in Sawamura's pitching rhythm.

This surprised Chris.

However, If Sawamura Eijun could be conquered so easily, he would not be called the Demon King.

'The opponent is going to swing the bat at full strength, and the next pitch is.'

Moving ball Kai!

Sawamura, who saw the sign, did not hesitate, and immediately threw the ball.

Whoosh!

The fifth batter of Komadai Fujimaki High School was even more unhesitant, and he swung the bat directly.

Ping!

After being hit, the small white ball bounced to the ground and came directly in front of the shortstop.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

The agile figure, like a cheetah, rushed to the ball, and after he quickly picked up the ball, he passed it directly to the first base.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Right now, the batter was very reluctant and confused.

He really did not expect that the ball would break so much when it approached his hand.

If I had known earlier, he wouldn't swing the bat with all his strength!

Unfortunately, what happened happened and he could only focus on the next.

He told what happened to the next batter going to the field.

Nevertheless, that didn't change the outcome.

Ping!

"OUT!"

The sixth bat of the Komadai Fujimaki High School was also solved by Eijun's Moving ball.

Three balls, three Outs, three ups and three downs.

Even if the Maou changed his pitching rhythm, his strength was still scary.
