Chapter 170 Goodbye Red Ball

Qingdao's attack came to an end, and the number on the scoreboard moved forward again, and a new "0" flashed on the display area in the eighth inning.

"It's really tenacious, so there is no point." In the auditorium, everyone in Qingdao sat down again, and they just shouted until their voices became hoarse.

"Sibang High Attacking Round, Two Bats..."

At this time, the rain was almost non-existent, and the entire field of vision showed a kind of clarity after washing, so that Gao Zhiye could clearly see the clenched teeth of the attacker on the opposite side.

'What's the matter, looks nervous, or is it just a personal characteristic of this hitter. 'His spirit cooled down a bit, on the one hand because he had satisfied part of the eagerness to attack when he first appeared on the stage, and on the other hand because he saw the score in his hands but let it drain away.

'As a result, in the end, we still have to decide the winner by one point. '

Miyuki noticed a slight change in the pitcher's expression. He knew that on the field, for a catcher, observing the enemy and controlling the field are very important responsibilities, but the most important thing is to observe the state of mobilizing the pitcher.

Therefore, at this time, it is time for the idiomatic method to debut.

Xibang's ears trembled, as if he felt a little danger, "It's probably an inside corner kick." At this time, the second bat was standing close to the home plate, which meant to seduce the opponent to throw the inside corner. As soon as the ball was thrown to the inside corner, he immediately took a step outside.

Takano nodded, looking at the glove in the outer corner.

Having said that, although the glove is inanimate, different catchers feel differently. Miyuki’s glove, viewed from the mound, has a sharp edge but a soft palm. Sometimes Takano throws the ball over , Listening to the sound of plunging into the glove, the feeling welled up in my heart, like a child plopping into the bed, wrapped in the soft quilt, unexpectedly feeling at ease.

'The catcher's glove, and the catcher himself, are really two creatures. '

He complained in his heart, without delaying Gao Zhiye's pitching, the violent and smooth movement drove the wind on the pitcher's mound, and at the moment he raised his arm, a lot of coolness squeezed into his chest, and the solid touch under his feet provided more The strong support, the familiar touch of the fingertips, and the moist air fluttering like silk, gave the ball more upward rotation force.

'Everything is business as usual', after the shot was taken, Gao Zhiye had already concluded that the opponent couldn't hit the ball.

The ball went straight to the outer corner, as if God had measured it himself, with a strong spin, the hitter who was about to take a step outside immediately changed the direction of his footing, but his eyes still hadn't adapted to it. The kind of pitch where you just take a step and watch the ball go into the strike zone of the outer corner.

"nice shot!"

The batter failed to swing, and he rearranged his batting position, feeling that something was going wrong, 'Still only going to the inside corner? '

He is still hesitating. A pitcher like Gao Zhiye who can throw the ball from inside and outside corners also has a very good changeup. If the ball is thrown in front of him before reacting, the time left is very short and it takes Very powerful swing speed, such as Sano, can only wait for the ball to reach the home plate before deciding whether to swing. Ordinary hitters, the moment they see the ball, must judge whether the ball is shot and how to hit it problem.

'Choose the inside corner! 'In the end, the second bat decided to listen to the words of Supervisor Nishidera. This pitcher is a good player. If he is targeted by three batters in a row, he will definitely show his flaws at some point, or he will simply give up.

After home plate, Miyuki stared at the batter's position on the inside corner again, and a guess about Sibon's strategy slowly came into being, "Let's verify it", he gave the pitcher a new code.

Takano nodded, and noticed the batter's positioning again, "One or two, they both like to be so tight to the plate when I pitch. '

He deliberately mobilized his inner emotions, and the adrenaline flowed into the blood vessels crazily along with the emotions.

'If you want to fight, just go ahead and fight! '

Xibang No. [-] finally got the type of ball he was targeting, stepped out with his left foot without hesitation, and swung the bat from back to front. When the ball was about to enter home plate, his bat had already reached Halfway, but at this time the trajectory of the ball has changed slightly, wiping towards the outer corner.

The second bat didn't have time to modify his swing. He only felt the bat shake. Although it was heavy, it didn't feel like hitting the center of the ball. "Damn it, it's not a straight ball!" '

In the strike preparation area on the sidelines, the two Sibang players who are about to play are closest to each other.

"It's the Carter Ball."

"Did you just see that we are going to target the inside corner?" Sano was a little skeptical.

"What should I do, continue?"

Judging from the second hit, he has adapted well to the rhythm of the entire pitcher, because Xibang himself has also conducted special training for pitches around 145, so Sano's answer to this question is very straightforward.

"Continue! If we can play his confident ball, I believe it will definitely have an impact on his psychology."

After discussing a few words on the sidelines, the situation in the field had already settled down. The second bat only touched the top edge of the ball, and it became a ground ball towards the infielder's second baseman.

"out!"

Er Bang, covered in mud, ran quickly to his bench. From the corner of his eyes, he could see San Bang coming from the waiting area.

"This pitcher's throwing, really hands-on, the ball is very heavy, be careful."

"oh, I understand now."

Nishibang's three bats stood still in the strike zone, and they looked close to the home plate, which made Miyuki behind him a little puzzled, 'What's the matter, are you still targeting the inside corner? '

He weighed it, in order to deal with the next four bats, this hitter should not use the inside corner kick to deal with it.

If you shoot the inside corner, you are feeding the opponent directly. If you know the route of the ball, you will not be able to hit a home run, and the probability of hitting a single will still increase a lot. However, if you do not shoot the inside corner because the opponent is targeting the inside corner , Wouldn’t that be a good shot, so the timing of the shot must be chosen well, and the inside corner must be shot when the opponent thinks it will not be the inside corner.

So, start now with pitching against the four-bats, a bat that uses the outside corner with a changeup to get the three outs.

The first ball was straight ball from the outside corner, and the three sticks were swung out, and the general was wiped out, and it was out of bounds.

'The first ball almost got used to the rhythm, which is worthy of the center line of Sibang. '

For the second ball, let the ball be slightly higher, so that the hitter thinks it is an easy outside corner kick.

"Strike!" The batter saw that the last trajectory of the baseball turned slightly to the outer corner, and he stopped urgently but it was too late, "It's a carter ball!" '

The three sticks readjusted their positions, "Two balls are outside corners, and the third ball will use inside corners to decide the outcome?" '

When the last ball came, it was almost a ball in the middle. The three sticks thought there was something wrong. When they saw the direction of the ball, all kinds of speculations came to their minds. ball?Definitely the slider that ends up in the bad ball right? '

The extra time for thinking made him unable to keep up with the rhythm of pitching. Before the bat was finished swinging, the ball had already hit the base, and he followed the trajectory of the ball to the last three hitters. He was so angry that he almost smoked. "Red ball??!"

The catcher behind home plate replied slyly: "Yes, and it's the easiest ball to hit in the field!"

　Warm reminder, if you see this, it means that your vacation is less than three days
