Chapter 102: Forkball!

"Fourth Batter, pitcher, Nanami-kun."

At the beginning of the first half of the second inning, the first batter of Hoshiryu High School was the fourth batter Nanami Haruka.

He's the Ace pitcher and fourth batter of Hoshiryu High School, the absolute core of the team.

"It's really strong!"

Before entering the field, Nanami Haruka looked at the defense roster of Seidou High School and muttered.

As a prodigy with high talent, Nanami Haruka has felt this way for the first time since he started playing baseball, completely passive and completely disadvantaged.

Being constrained and beaten!

Although there is a factor of their own miscalculation, there is no doubt about the tyrannical strength of Seidou High School.

When they graduated from middle school, the reason why they, the former Nagano all-star players, gathered together again was probably because they felt a strong threat in their hearts.

Sawamura Eijun!

One of them alone can no longer compete with the other, so they have to reunite.

'I just didn't expect that the opponent was no longer joining an out-of-mill team, but a top-level giant. The team members of this Giant were not inferior to us, maybe even stronger.'

Even if Sawamura Eijun didn't stand on the pitcher's mound, the opponent's overall strength faintly surpassed theirs.

In this game, Nanami Haruka had such the feeling of the underdog in the fight for the first time.

"What a fresh experience!"

He dragged his bat and stood on the strike zone, his eyes fixed on Tanpa on the mound.

In the position of the catcher, Chris took a serious look at Nanami Haruka, and the information about Nanami Haruka automatically appeared in his mind.

'If you ask who is the most interesting Batter in Hoshiryu? I think it is him.'

At that time, Sawamura Eijun specially mentioned Nanami Haruka.

He is the fourth batter of Hoshiryu. Just looking at this arrangement, it is not difficult to see his importance in the Hoshiryu team.

However, if Sawamura Eijun specially said it out, everyone still felt amazing, and couldn't help but ask, what is so unique about Nanami Haruka?

"To say what is unique, I really don't know what to say for a moment. This guy is very cautious, and he didn't reveal a word of it when he was interviewed. According to my observation during middle school, he should have a particularly terrifying dynamic vision like Ryo-niisan! He can see all the balls clearly. so as long as his swing can keep up, theoretically there is no ball that he can't catch and hit…"

Hit rate: 57%!

This data can catch up with what Sawamura said.

Hoshiryu's fourth batter might have more talent in hitting than in pitching.

With such a judgment, Chris can't be careless when dealing with Nanami Haruka.

He also quickly came up with a strategy to deal with Nanami.

In theory, as long as Nanami's swing speed can keep up, there shouldn't be any balls that he can't hit.

'In this case, if we want to deal with Nanami Haruka, we can only use two methods.'

One is throwing the ball that he can't touch, and the other is throwing a fishing ball deliberately, letting him hit it, and then relying on the defense to get the number of Outs.

'The first ball, an ordinary Straight ball!'

According to the previous information, the probability of Nanami's swing from the first ball is extremely low.

To Chris, this is not at all surprising. A good-sighted Batter will naturally play with caution.

Because they are confident they can choose a better ball to swing at!

On the mound, Tanpa nodded and threw the ball.

Whoosh!

The white ball was like a strong wind blowing, and it instantly reached the top of the home plate.

Haruka Nanami in the strike zone really didn't plan to swing the bat for the first ball, he watched the ball standing still.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

One Strikes, no Ball.

"Nice ball!"

"Just chase the batter like that!"

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School, there was cheering from the Players.

Miyuki, who was sitting on the bench and was about to drink water, looked at the restless teammates around him and sighed in his mind.

'Even they can feel the difference?'

'Is the guy on the strike zone really that strong?'

The answer is yes.

When it was time for the second ball, Nanami Haruka swung the bat.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew far away.

If it weren't for the ball not falling in bounds, there might have been a good outfield hit.

On the mound, Tanpa's expression became more serious.

If Chris had not asked for a slight adjustment just now, the ball is likely to be hit in bounds.

'Dangerous!'

'This is really dangerous.'

Moreover, the ball is not that far from the line.

If it wasn't for Chris, Tanpa can't imagine the consequences.

Chris in the catcher position is relatively calm, the current result is exactly the same as he expected.

'So it is true!'

'This guy has extremely terrifying dynamic vision. When he can see the path of the ball clearly, he is very good at playing Breaking balls like Sawamura Eijun.'

'As a result, when pitching we have to be more careful!'

'The last ball, the winning shot!'

On the mound, Tanpa nodded slightly as he watched the sign Chris had given him.

He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

Although he is not the team's Ace now, but the position is still very important. After all, the Ace of their team is only 15 years old Kohai, with a lot of room to grow.

Even if the training is very hard, if we continue to fight in Koshien and let him keep throwing, maybe he will be burned by the end of it.

'So now, as a Senpai, I must do my job well!'

'I must prevent the opponent from gaining momentum!'

With a decision in mind, Tanpa's pitching went unrivaled.

Whoosh!

The white ball flew straight to the top of the plate.

On the strike zone, Nanami Haruka's face was solemn, and the bat in his hand did not lag at all.

Although it was only a short moment, it was still captured by him.

'Tanpa Koichiro's grip is that of a Forkball!'

'Here it comes!'

Seeing the baseball approaching, Nanami swung the bat decisively.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it bounced to the infield.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

Kuramochi rushed from the position of the shortstop.

He picked up the baseball and passed it to the captain on first base without hesitation.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

The ending is clean and neat.

Nanami Haruka's face was extremely complicated.

Although he knew the course of the ball was a Forkball.

But the break in that ball was sharper than he imagined.

Faster and the break is sharper!

Even if the same Breaking ball is thrown by different pitchers, the effect is completely different.

Like Tanpa's Forkball, the effect is terrifyingly good.

With such a high degree of completion, it is no wonder that it is used as a new winning shot.
