Ace of Diamonds: A world-class speedball signed at the start

Chapter 13

"Very good!"

"Nice pickup!"

Sawamura encouraged excitedly.

"Fortunately, the defensive position I chose is relatively backward!"

The outfielder who receives the ball has his heart plopping non-stop.

If only he had just stood a little in front.

The ball landed 100 percent, and the batter could run to second base smoothly.

"Abominable!"

"Accidentally swing too fast!"

The batters in the second and third grades, with a look of chagrin.

And yet....

What he didn't know was....

The root cause of the mistake....

It is because of Sawamura's pitch, when it comes to the batter, there will be a drift up/down/left/right!

But obviously!

Sudden changes up close!

It cannot be discovered without careful observation!

And the second hitter in the second and third grades.

I also feel that it was a careless mistake by my teammates, and I didn't care too much.

So.

Face Sawamura's pitch.

Hit a three-base flat flyball.

It wasn't that fast, and it flew in front of the third baseman.

So.

The third baseman moved the glove a little and caught it easily.

“OUT！"

Head coach Kataoka immediately shouted.

"That's awesome!"

"It only took two goals to get the two out!"

"Two out, two out!"

"Come on! Sawamura! "

Seeing Sawamura eliminate the two so easily.

The new students were excited to cheer for Sawamura.

"What a joke!"

"There will be no third time for this good luck!"

The third batter, the third batter in the second and third grades, waved the metal rod with an unhappy face.

Bang.

A crisp sound.

The baseball was hit into the infield and hit the ground on the pitcher's mound.

"Lean!"

"Start slowly!"

"Fooled by his swing speed!"

The guerrilla thought that the opponent would hit the back, but he did not expect that such a big swing turned out to be just an infield rolling earth.

But.

Right at this moment.

Haruichi Kominato, who plays as a second baseman.

Suddenly appeared in the sight of the guerrilla.

"For..."

"Why is the second baseman there!?"

The senior students, who were originally glad that the guerrillas could not catch up, were instantly dumbfounded.

Boom!

Kominato Haruichi quickly stretched out his left hand and caught the ball accurately!

Then!

Not slowing down in the slightest!

In the high-speed running, suddenly jump!

And then just in mid-air, twist your body!

Meantime!

The right hand took the baseball out of the left hand glove and neatly passed it to the glove that the first baseman had laid out in advance!

The next moment.

The runner's foot stepped on the base bag at first base.

However!

He's one step slower than baseball!

“OUT！"

The first base referee immediately announced the result.

"Oooo

Sawamura shouted excitedly.

"That's awesome!"

"I was dumbfounded!"

"Oh my God! We actually got 0 points for the second and third grades! "

"Second baseman is fantastic!"

The new students were thrilled.

"3 goals to eliminate 3 people, it's so healthy!"

In the cowshed, Lin Tian sighed with emotion: "If I could, I would like to be like him." "

He was telling the truth.

If you only throw 3 shots in one game, you can save a lot of physical energy.

......

On the pitch.

At this time, the new students are in full swing.

Even with the next attack, they performed well.

Although still unable to score.

But everyone can hit the ball.

And just when the situation improved, Zengzitou, who served as the fifth batter of the original First Army, walked to the beater's seat.

In baseball teams.

The five sticks are known as center hitters, and are also known as 'clear-base hitters'.

It usually requires the ability to send back runners accumulated on base, as well as the quality to hit a home run with one hit.

Generally.

To be able to play five baseballs in the team, the striking strength is definitely very strong.

So.

Sawamura's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's going to be burst."

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

On the night that Sawamura was punished.

Lin Tian originally wanted to tell Sawamura the 'truth about the special straight ball'.

But then it came to mind.

The two are not acquainted at all.

In the face of the preaching of strangers + peers, Sawamura is estimated to not be able to listen.

And.

It's just verbal preaching.

The effect may not be very large.

So.

Lin Tian changed his mind.

He plans to wait until Sawamura hits a home run by Masako after becoming friends with Sawamura, and then use this incident to remind him accordingly.

Lin Tian felt.

The experience of being hit with a home run.

Even if it is a reminder from his peers, Sawamura should pay attention to it.

......

On the pitch.

Zengzi after a ball observation.

Keenly aware that the ball thrown by Sawamura will suddenly turn a corner when it flies to the side.

But the timing of the turn was late!

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage!

Because the batter does not notice the situation of the turn.

It will not hit the center of the ball, resulting in the ball that is hit out, the quality is very poor, and it is easy to be successfully defended by the defender.

But if found....

So!

Just stand at the front of the batting zone!

It's possible to finish the blow before the baseball turns a corner!

And Sawamura's pitching ....

If there is no corner, it is a straight ball in the middle!

"Reduce the swing amplitude ..."

"Hit the ball quickly before it changes..."

Masuko thought in his heart that in order to better control the bat, he deliberately chose the method of holding the bat short.

And Sawamura Eijun was completely unaware of this.

Facing the upcoming showdown, he only felt excited.

"This tension..."
