Chapter 119 Kiryu Falling into the Trap

In the first half of the three innings, Kiryu had the first bat. In the first inning, he was lured to play the bat. In the second round, he must be more careful. He had a hunch, or everyone in Kiryu would come back to it, so easy The person who was put on base did not lose a score in two consecutive innings after a shaky start?

'This hitter is a strength type, so we need to use his strength. Miyuki looked at the figure of the batterer and sorted out the information in his mind.

The first ball was about to be thrown to the sideline of the outer corner. The hitter's body muscles moved a bit, but he held back quickly.

"Bad ball!"

Miyuki was taken aback, this was obviously a good ball from the sideline, it seems that the situation in the first few innings made the referee think that the pitcher's ball control was not very good, so the ball from the sideline tended to be judged as a bad ball.

Then the second ball, the straight ball with a high outer corner, needs to increase the speed, so that the ball is more erratic from the perspective of the hitter.

"Strike!" The hitter swung the air.

'In this game, his pitching style is completely different, and his ball power has increased a lot. Could it be that his state has improved?Or on purpose? '

Hold the bat tightly with one bat, and be on the verge of the next ball.

For the third ball, enough groundwork has been laid before, so let's take advantage of the batter's swing rhythm.

'Changeup! '

Gao Zhiye nodded. He was the first hitter, so he had to use all his strength to grind a good ball. It was really difficult.

Watching the ball come out with a stick, 'Good, inside corner! '

Half way through the swing, but the ball hasn't arrived yet, 'Changeup! ' Swing again and miss.

The bat was swung so violently that he turned half a circle and stood on the strike zone again. He knew that he had just been tricked by the pair of pitchers, and wanted to recall the pitching rhythm of the pitcher just now. But there is only the changeup just now.

Sure enough, the next ball, "Strike!"

One strikeout.

Takano lowered his head and consciously relaxed his body when the hitters were changing. First he relaxed his frowning brows, his jaw, his shoulders and arms, letting the glove holding the ball hang naturally by his side, followed by the muscles of his back, Thighs, calves, ankles, this is the method he uses to sleep quickly, and it has a miraculous effect in reducing body pressure. Although it is only six or seven seconds, he has already rested a little from the tense state just now.

Now the hitter is the second batter. According to their observation, the reason why this hitter can become the main pick is his excellent ball selection ability. However, he has a higher probability of chasing the ball at a high angle. a lot of.

'Then I'll bet you're not good at hitting low angle shots. '

Gao Zhiye did not hesitate, and directly shot the ball. Now that he has analyzed it this way, he should believe in himself. If he is kicked out, he can only say that the preparation time is too short.

'Low outside corner, good shot. 'The second bat had already identified the ball as a strike, but hesitated for a moment, and watched the ball hit the base.

"nice shot!"

'Yo Xi, slowly correct the chief judge's view of him. '

The second ball, again, is a low outside corner ball in a similar position.

'What do you mean, look down on me? 'The second bat has missed a good ball, and now I can't stand it any longer, I just swung it, but the ball turned slightly to the outside corner,'Is it a change ball? '

The ball only hit the head of the club, and the second bat ran a few steps before being blocked on first base.

He ran straight to the first base bench, and as he passed the triple hitter, he whispered: "Be careful, this pitcher is getting better."

So far, Kiryu's hitters have basically understood the pitching system of this pitcher. A straight ball is paired with a second seam and a changeup. It pops up when the hitter is sure it's a straight ball.

'That catcher is very powerful. Director Kiryu stared at the field and said to his players: "Looking at it now, he is throwing straight balls most of the time, don't think about the changeup, and focus on the straight ball."

Qingdao pitcher's straight ball seems to be recovering with the state, and the power of the ball has also increased. Is this the original appearance of his straight ball?

The three bats also received a signal from the bench, 'Do you lock the straight ball? He stood in the strike zone, and saw the pitcher put his arm down to his side and took a deep breath, "Is this the pitcher's habitual action?"That's weird enough. '

While the batter was observing the pitcher, Miyuki was also observing the batter. Last time, the three-bat was knocked out by a changeup ball. He must still be wary of the changeup in his heart.

Gao Zhiye nodded to the signal of the straight ball, 'High outside corner, straight ball! '

At the same time, the three sticks standing on the strike zone are also thinking, 'Straight ball, lock the straight ball! '

"Touch——" The result of the mutual connection between the two is that the hitter penetrated the line of defense between the second and third bases, and successfully stood on the first base pack before the fourth bat came.

"Time!" Miyuki lifted his mask and ran to the mound, "How does your body feel?"

This round was originally scheduled to deal with three batters, so Gao Zhiye did not retain much physical strength.

"Well, I didn't hesitate to hit the bat, probably because I was eyeing my straight ball."

"It's really troublesome, your straight ball, now the power of the ball has been reduced a lot."

Miyuki called this pause just to give Takano some time to rest, "Have you rested yet?"

"Well, let's go back, it's already like this, we can only deal with him seriously once."

It was originally decided to walk four bats at the all-hitter position, but this would affect the morale of the team too much. They need to have a serious duel in the middle. Since now is the time when they can no longer pile up bases, let's advance this duel to now.

"play."

Takano has changed to a fixed pitch. At this time, he should be more cautious to prevent runners on first base from stealing bases, but he must pitch with all his strength and show the most serious attitude so far.

"Touch——" Kiryu's four-stick smile disappeared. The weight of this ball is almost no less than his own, so now he is doing his best. Sure enough, the supervisor is right, this pitcher will deal with him with all his strength, but this is the fun of the expedition Ah, what a joy to play against different pitchers from all over the place, and he hit another field.

Supervisor Kiryu saw that his four-ball team laughed again, and he felt a little more at ease, "Sure enough, this pitcher seems to be slowly recovering, but in fact he is deliberately controlling the number of balls used in each inning. Know the characteristics of each hitter, and use different strengths to deal with each player according to their level. '

"That pitcher, how many pitches has he thrown now?"

"25 goals."

"Is it only 25 pitches so far?" Kiryu's players began to recall the situation of the first two innings, and suddenly understood.

"It seems that the opponent looks down on us very much, does he think this kind of pitching method can deal with Kiryu?" The fat old fox began to fan the flames on his bench.

Then I saw that the four sticks I was proud of hit a high fly ball in the center field and was caught out.

"...26 balls, three innings, it seems like they only get serious when they're dealing with the center line."

Really, the angry cross was beating on Supervisor Kiryu's forehead. He didn't expect to let these two children act as himself, and just let them finish the script smoothly. He really thought that the pitcher was not in good condition just now. The players also began to swing their bats actively, so they fell into the trap one by one without consuming the opponent's balls at all.
