chapter 36:

Oops!"

"The trajectory of the ball is still a little high!"

Sawamura's face changed.

He knew he wasn't very good at possessing the ball.

But.

Balls with low inside corners.

It turned out to be cast with a high inside angle.

This kind of garbage performance will definitely reduce the impression score in the coach's mind.

"This... What's going on with this guy's ball? "

"I can't see the ball point at all!"

Like the bucktooth runner, Murata was taken aback by Sawamura's special pitching posture.

To know.

The pitcher can see the point of the ball at all times before throwing it.

So.

This makes it easier for batsmen to predict the path of the ball.

And Sawamura's pitching ...

Since the shoulder joint is too soft ...

Before pitching, his ball bearer will habitually put behind him...

This leads to!

A batter who stands on the same level as the pitcher cannot see a pitch blocked by Sawamura's body!

Of course...

Sawamura didn't know this...

He just figured out the posture according to the posture taught by Coach Kataoka and Chris...

...

Meanwhile.

Miyukiichi also placed the glove again in the position of the low ball in the inside corner.

Chris smiled: "Miyuki that guy..."

"Are you going to use all the inside corners?"

"To throw into the inner corner, it takes a lot of courage, after all, if you are not careful, you will hit people..."

"And for Sawamura, who is not stable enough in possession..."

"This kind of ball path probably puts double the pressure on him, right?"

But.

Chris apparently underestimated Sawamura.

For Sawamura, who has a big heart, there is not much difference between an inside corner kick and an outside corner.

Shout!

Sawamura threw the ball with all his might!

While!

However, because the ball path was too good to play, it was easily hit by Murata.

"Guerrilla!"

Watching the baseball fly towards Yoichi Kuramoto's position, Sawamura reminded loudly.

"Just..."

"What happened to the feel just now..."

"Didn't I catch the sweetheart position?"

Murata frowned and rushed to first base.

"Cut-"

"The most annoying route!"

Looking at the flying baseball, Yoichi Kuramori was quite irritable.

Because that route is what he is least good at.

And this reason also caused the timing of the catch of the ball to be much slower.

By the time Kuramochi caught the ball and wanted to pass it to first base, Murata was already on base.

At the same time.

The bucktooth runner at second base also made it to third base.

So.

The situation becomes that no one is out, and there are people at first and third base.

"What a big crisis!"

"I just encountered this bad situation when I was on the field, and it is estimated that my mentality is going to explode!"

"Look! That pitcher's face is so bad, is it true that the foul just now gave him a big blow? "

Most of the spectators who are willing to come to see Seido participate in the practice match are graduates of Seido, or passers-by who are willing to support Seido.

So.

When I saw Seido fall into this kind of crisis.

These viewers are also full of worry.

...

"Will you be scored by the opponent little by little, or will you be able to suppress the opponent?"

"No doubt!"

"Now is the critical moment to officially test your true strength!"

Miyuki's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the annoyed Sawamura quite curiously.

Tetsuya Yuki spoke, "Concentrate on the batters, Sawamura!" "

Jun Isashiki: "Let them hit the ball in the right field, and I'll pass it back to home run to kill them!" "

Ryosuke Kominato: "Just vote for them, anyway, we don't expect your strikeout..."

I was comforted by the seniors.

Sawamura instantly regained his fighting spirit.

"Yes!"

"Please, everyone!"

Hear this respectful tone.

Miyuki's face was full of black lines: "It's really polite!" Except for me..."

But.

He also didn't want to think about how many times he had pitted Sawamura.

So...

It is also very normal not to be respected by Sawamura!

...

"Since that foul."

"Although it is not visible on the surface, from the pitch, it can be seen that the pitcher's heart is clearly shaken."

"He must not be given a chance to calm down!"

Coach Matsumoto thought of this and gave the next tactics with special gestures.

"First base runner, run from the first ball!"

"And the batters, once you have a good ball, just play it!"

"Third base runner, run back to home plate according to the situation!"

See the coach's code.

Kiryu's runners and batsmen both nodded.

Thereupon.

Runners at first and third base.

They all began to move away from first and third base step by step.

"Will they steal the stronghold..."

"Are they trying to steal the base?"

Sawamura looked at the runner at first base for a while, and then at the runner at third base.

His expression was full of vigilance.

But.

And with a little nervousness of foul fear.

This moment.

Sawamura couldn't help but recall Chris's teachings.

: Listen, Sawamura.

: The purpose of containment is not to get the runner out.

: It's about not letting the runner get too far away from the base bag and avoiding a good time for the runner to get a start.

: The left pitcher facing the first base runner, that is, you, learn to suppress the opponent with his eyes.

"First of all, with your eyes..."

"Then throw the ball quickly when you contain your opponent!"

Sawamura thought well.

Do... Not bad either.

But the only thing that falls short!

The act of pinning down his opponent distracted Sawamura himself.

Plus the ball control is already poor!

The ball that leads to the throw, very sweet!

In layman's terms, it is very easy to fight!

"Oooh?"

"Dare to shoot such a red hit with such a slow ball speed?"

"Then I'll enjoy it unceremoniously!"

The batterer chuckled and waved the metal rod.

While!

The baseball was instantly hit on the ground in front of the pitcher's mound!

Then!

Bounced off the ground and slammed into Sawamura's stomach!

Seido member: "!! "

Manager seido: "!! "

Coach Kataoka: "!! "

The scene became extremely quiet for a while.

Because everyone thought that Sawamura was hit head-on.

But.

Sawamura's attention was all on baseball in a glove.

"Ahhh..."

"Ball..."

"It's in the glove..."

"I... Received..."

"Eh..."

"What to do next..."

"That's right!"

"There are runners at third base!"

There are many thoughts in the mind, but in the real world, it is just a matter of thought.

Think of runners at third base.

Sawamura turned his head sharply and stared at the runner defending third base with domineering eyes, making him dare not move!

"Sawamura!"

"Pass second base!"

"There is a chance to double kill!"

Miyuki stood up abruptly and reminded loudly.

"Eh!"

Sawamura was stunned for a moment.

But.

With the muscle memory developed by the Hell Training Institute, he still subconsciously turned around and passed the ball to second base.

Tread!

Yoichi Kuramoki, who quickly ran to second base, stepped on the base bag and caught Sawamura's pass!

"The runner is out!"

The second base referee immediately announced the end of first base runner Murata.

The words sounded at the same time.

Yoichi Kuramori also passed the ball to Tetsuya Yuki at first base.

Bang.

Yuki catches the pass steadily.

And the batter, there is still a long way to go from first base.

So...

The first base referee immediately announced: "The hitter is out!" "

The scene was after a brief lull.

The exclamation of monstrous waves erupted.

"Oooooooooo

"Great! Double kill success! "

"The third base runner was stared at by Sawamura and did not dare to move a single step!"

"It's quite yours! Sawamura! "

"Beautiful defense!"

"Actually suppressed the opponent's offensive! Terrific! "
