Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 73
In the second game, I faced the opponent's four sticks directly. There was pressure, but the pressure on the opponent must be great.

'It's still the same mode, the straight ball from high and low angles disrupts their sense of space. Hayakawa patted the glove and placed it near the four-stick knee.

"The inside corner is low. Every time you meet a strong opponent, you use the inside corner kick to say hello. You don't plan to use the straight ball, right? Didn't you lose two points last time?" 'But Gao Zhiye likes this way of being guided, which is the trust of the catcher in the pitcher.

But the first ball was shot with four sticks. Judging by the calm look, it is estimated that he was staring at the low straight ball.

"Bump—" The ball landed behind the second baseman, Yoshino didn't waste time, ran over, picked up the ball, turned around and threw the ball in one go, and let the four batters hit the base.

"Huh?" Gao Zhiye was the first to wonder, what's the matter, after spring training, did you go home and practice the low ball?It seems that I just said to be cautious, but I still haven't done it.

Hayakawa patted his chest and tilted his head, which meant that the ball was his mistake. Takano caught the return pass and pointed to the home plate, "It was supposed to be!" '

Immediately after the fifth bat, there was finally someone on the base, and the noise on the first base side grew louder.

"Get out!"

"come on!"

"GOGOGO!"

Wu Bang is a little fat man, not high enough in altitude and heavy in tonnage. Gao Zhiye was deeply impressed by his whirling way of swinging the club.

For this five-stick batting pattern, Hayakawa still tends to suppress him with the power of the straight ball. Was brought into bounds, formed a very high fly ball in the infield, and Nakajima, who was on first base, looked up and waited a long time before he caught him.

Nakajima looked at the opponent's four sticks who were waiting honestly, and then passed the ball to Takano.

In the first half of the second inning, there was an out on the first base. Takano glanced at the first base runner, turned around, and threw a check ball to the first base. When the fourth bat returned to the base, Nakajima passed the ball back to him. Finally, he set up his pitching position, but before throwing the ball, he glanced at first base again, and the four bats retracted a little involuntarily.

"This guy is so imposing now, I can't tell that he was a beginner before." On the bench next to third base, the teammates were not cheering for them, but were talking about Takano.

"I think it's the face, scaring the other party away with a scary expression! By the way, don't you think Mr. Ace grows much faster than us?"

"Yes, I have already felt it! He has started to shave every day, it is said."

"Wow—" This is a first-year junior who doesn't know the truth.

"I think it's very manly..."

So there was a new wave of discussion about Gao Zhiye's appearance, until the protagonist under discussion was off the field, it was not over. Teammates said it was a 'face shock failure', but the latter two hitters were caught and out.

"Let me tell you, can you stop discussing his appearance in front of the client?" Gao Zhiye was also helpless.

But the bench seat was full of noise, and everyone quickly had a new topic: "Let's see, Beiyuan-kun can show himself in the attack this time!"

Left fielder Kitahara is often replaced by Takano. In the next game, according to Coach Ninomiya's temperament, he will never let the ace occupy the mound. I'm waiting, and the left fielder Bei Yuan, who was originally selected as the main pick, seems like he was not selected, so his defense is relatively weak. Eight sticks, no wonder everyone on the bench ridiculed him.

'Damn it, why am I so miserable. "Babang Beiyuan can hear the faint sound of the bench seat when standing near the strike zone, which is definitely not a good word!"

Pitcher No. 11 stepped up again. This time he had to face the Kinoshita Little League eights, nines, and ones. The attitude of their coaches towards pitchers is that they usually leave the game after facing a round of batting. Will the round let him finish the pitch.

But that's not something he should worry about, it's best to let all three go, and then his work is almost done.

Facing the first ball of the eight clubs, it was a straight ball with a low outer corner. After a short rest, the touch of the fingers recovered, and the ball could finally be pressed down well.

"Strike!" Eight sticks missed the opportunity to strike.

The second ball, a high straight ball from the inside corner, was thrown by the pitcher as an upper-middle ball, and the eight-bat swing missed.

In the second inning, the first hitter, this pair of catchers has already got two strikes.

The third ball, the low second seam in the inside corner, was hit toward third base, and the third baseman rushed forward, picked it up and passed it to first base.

"out!"

So Babang Beiyuan was out of the game again without any surprises. Even his teammates were not surprised by this situation, but when Beiyuan walked to the bench, everyone stepped forward to comfort him. Gao Zhiye also stepped forward, just about to speak It was stopped by Beiyuan.

"Gao Jun, I'm probably the one in the team who wants you to play the most, so go for it! When we represent the West Tokyo Branch, you will definitely be the one who plays every time. You must go for it!" He still wanted to shake his hands. Takano, but did not shake.

"Okay, okay, I will work hard!" Gao Zhiye finally got away after promising, he vowed that he would never go to Beiyuan's side next time, the resentment was too strong.

Nine is the third baseman Qing Gong. He was a pitcher in elementary school, so his arm strength is very strong, so he was assigned to third base. Compared with the first two black holes, he still has a good grasp of the straight ball, which belongs to the line. People who connect the past and the future.

"Fight out of the Qing Palace!" Probably because the defense positions are close, these two people have gotten along very well in the past few months.

As soon as Lang Zhi yelled twice, Qing Gong hit the second seam to the direction of left field. Amidst the cheers of everyone on the bench, the people standing on first base raised their hands far away.

Then it was Yoshino's turn. As he was about to step forward, there was movement on the opposite bench. The coach of the Mingquan Temple Little League came out of the bench and made major adjustments to the team. First, No. 11 went to left field, then left Outfield No. 7 went to right field, No. 9 in right field came up and pitched.

"Good guy, it's starting again."

It was the first time I saw this operation during spring training, and everyone in Kinoshita, who had never seen the world, was a little stunned. Everyone knows that left field is usually a cool-off zone for pitchers, but players in center field and right field can also come up to pitch at any time ?Anyway, outfielders can develop arm and shoulder strength, and being a pitcher is just a side thing?
When new pitchers come up, it takes time to prepare. The rhythm of baseball games is slow and the time is long. This is part of the reason. When there were no regulations before, some professional baseball teams would start at a certain pitcher because they had finished their rotations. The days make up the bullpen day. The so-called bullpen day refers to the wheel battle. Each pitcher may end up dealing with one or two players. There are so many pitchers in a nine-inning game. Every pitcher needs to prepare before he officially pitches. It's been a long time, so it was changed later. Every new pitcher must face three batters before he can leave the game. It can be regarded as rectifying this trend.

　It's the familiar devil week again

　　This week, I helped the director write PPT, held two conferences, and organized a conference myself.
