Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 75
Takano actually doesn’t understand what the catchers are thinking when they serve the ball. When Hayakawa and Miyuki are together, they often watch them suddenly say a word without thinking, such as:

"If you're a left-handed hitter, the slider really doesn't make a good shot."

"Yeah, near the knee, when they see the shot, they think it's a good shot, and they will miss it at this time."

"Then take the inside corner and you'll have a strikeout."

As a result, the chat continued with such interest, and the pitcher next to him fell silent without realizing it.

But if you feel that they are all chatting nonsense, their methods at certain moments will make people wake up immediately, such as the second stick just now, the confidence and rhythm of the attack were destroyed by Hayakawa.

'Sure enough, it's very powerful,' said Takano. If Takano plays the ball himself, it's probably inside and outside. Then whether to shoot a high ball or a low ball, first cast the dice in your mind.

The second batter who was struck out quickly lowered his head and ran off the field. The one who replaced him in the strike zone was the freshman who swung fiercely. From the perspective of his body, he didn't look like a freshman at all. The last strike seemed to be against the high-speed bat. He is not used to the straight ball, and was struck out by a straight ball with a high inside angle. In summary, he is a player with good swing speed but poor ball selection.

Against such a hitter, you need to use the same strong pitch to deal with him.

The first pitch, a straight ball with a high inside corner, the baseball wiped the bat and fell behind.

The three clubs swung the bat twice, and then stood still in the strike zone. It seemed that his expression was not affected, and he felt like he was not thinking about anything. There is no doubt that a hitter with this style is a freshman in junior high school, and more often They are relying on talent and intuition, just like Gao Zhiye's first blow, their expressions and psychology are the same, and they are really not thinking about anything, so they only need one straight ball after another to create the atmosphere of the duel and mobilize Their interest in hitting, and another change shot, they will suddenly fail to hit, and they will be out of the game, or they will continue to use the inside and outside corners to expand the physical strike zone, and they will eventually be out.

The second ball, a straight ball with a low outer corner, has a lower spin rate and ends up in the bad ball zone.

"Strike!" The three-stick swing fell through.

"Eh?" So quickly two good and zero bad, chasing the hitter, although the third bat also felt something was wrong, but the next bad ball with a high inside corner couldn't help swinging.

"two out!"

Takano yelled to the defense behind him. The catcher caught the ball and passed it to first base. After the infield passed all the passes, the ball returned to the pitcher's glove. It looked like a small game of infield passing, but in fact It is a method to improve infield concentration.

Baseball games are stinky and long, and it’s a bit difficult to maintain the same focus for such a long time, and a pitcher with high strikeouts like Gao Zhiye, for the defense, there will be much less content for them to deal with, and it is inevitable that they will pay attention The power is a little less concentrated. If you are hit out at this time, you may make a mistake. Therefore, the catcher will pass the ball to the first or third base after the hitter is off the field to mobilize the attention of the infield.

'From this point of view, there are really many people and things that the catcher needs to pay attention to. ' Gao Zhiye running god thought.

Then came the game, where Takano's pitch hit Mingquanji's four sticks firmly, and both pitchers and catchers were very vigilant at this time.

'Showed him too many straight balls in spring training! 'The four-stroke last time was to hit the low-angle straight ball that Takano is proud of.

Well, it doesn't have to be a straight ball to start the game, let's have a changeup on the first ball.

"nice shot!"

Hayakawa noticed that the foot of the four sticks moved, but after realizing that it was not a straight ball, he stopped immediately, so did he stare at the straight ball to hit it?

Try it out, the next ball is a straight ball from the outside corner, and it doesn't matter if the referee calls a bad ball.

"Out of bounds—" Sure enough, he hit two strikes, and the pressure on the hitter increased. Even if he knew that the opponent saw through the shot and saw that he was going to hit a straight ball, he had no way out.

Hayakawa: 'Give him more ambiguous shots to play. '

"The outside world"

"The outside world"

The four-stick stick is really sticky. I hit several foul balls in a row, and I have to wait for a good straight ball to hit the base.

'Then come a carter ball that turns to the outside corner! '

Takano's carter ball is around 128, which is only 138 kilometers away from the fastest speed of 10. It is almost the same speed as the fastest straight ball of other pitchers. Therefore, in the first half, it seems that the trajectory of the straight ball is almost the same as that of the straight ball, only at the end.

"Touch—" Four sticks didn't grasp the center of the ball well, and the ball fell near the pitcher's mound. Gao Zhiye reached out and caught it, ending the first half of the fourth inning.

Halfway through the game, Kinoshita led 3-0, and the opponents had very few hits throughout the game. By the end of the game, Mingquanji had only four hits.

"You are very good, do you want to exchange mailboxes?" Pitcher No. 11 flinched under Gao Zhiye's gaze, and began to say something else to fill the gap, "Look, we are all pitchers, we can communicate What does it feel like to throw a ball—"

Gao Zhiye didn't speak, just took out his mobile phone and said, "Where's your mobile phone?"

After some turmoil, Takano, who left by car, bid farewell to No. 11 pitcher, Mishima, through the car window.

"There are still two more games before we can enter the league's spring competition. I hope everyone will play steadily and compete with no regrets." Coach Ninomiya made a brief summary in the car, and then the personnel for the next game will be deployed , "The next two games will adopt the method of follow-up voting. After entering the official spring competition, the schedule will be very tight."

That is to say, it is estimated that he will become a closed pitcher again, or he will only play as an outfielder. Gao Zhiye felt the scorching gaze from behind, "Why, it's not that I want to occupy the position of left fielder." '

No matter what everyone in the team thinks, the game in the West Tokyo branch is still going on at a fast pace.

Two weeks later, Gao Zhiye came to the confinement center with the soup made by Grandma Sasaki. He came to the entrance and took a deep breath before he managed to dissipate part of the resistance in his heart. Lang Zhi with roundworms in his stomach was very puzzled, if possible, he really wanted to be alone with Shen Qing.

'What is that guy doing, how stuck the vase is. Because of breaking the vase, Lang Zhi, who was being explained by his grandfather on the "Responsibility Class", lost the qualification to visit Shen Qing.

"Huh—I hope that woman isn't here..."

But that's impossible—

"Oh, isn't this the eldest son of the Sasaki family!" A woman posted up, eagerly following Gao Zhiye, who was walking faster and faster, towards the house.

But there was no one in the room, and the woman smiled behind and said, "Where is Mrs. Sasaki in the library? Look at you, you are in such a hurry, I don't even have time to tell you."

Gao Zhiye didn't say a word, put down the soup, turned around and walked into the library.

"Do you know how to get there?" As soon as she said the words, she saw the figure walking in the right direction, and immediately changed her words: "Ah, it's amazing, you know how to get around after coming here twice."

The original 5-minute journey was only 3 minutes away after being walked by these two people. Gao Zhiye had a sullen face, but he would smile and greet the oncoming nurse from time to time. Curly hair, she dyed her hair right after giving birth, so the baby can't even breastfeed.

"Mrs. Sasaki won't run away again. You're in a hurry." Gao Zhiye walked silently, but his arms were wrapped around his arms as soft and cold as snakes, and the hands were pressing gently , "Otherwise, I'm practicing baseball, so I'm in good health."

"Om--" The irritability almost burst through the top of the head, but the hand quickly retracted, leaving only a gust of wind with high-end perfume: "Look at you, okay, kid, go find your mother, I'm going to sunbathe at the door .”

That's why Takano didn't want to come here.

　【Today's Worker Bee Diary】

　　①When I went to work today, there was a commotion behind me. Someone asked, "Where did XX go? What's the matter?"

　　Answer: "My back hurts so bad I can't straighten up, I went to the hospital..."

　　Then two hours later, she came back and said it was a lumbar muscle strain. . .He came back with a bunch of medicine. . .

　　I was really shivering. I was working on the PPT until late at night yesterday, and I almost fainted at the work station. I probably had anemia. At that time, I insisted on the idea of ​​being in the company: "In case something happens, this is still a work-related injury."

　　②Then there is a tug-of-war tomorrow morning? ?The leader didn't let me go, maybe because he thought I was vain.

　　Before the team building, I climbed the wild mountain for four hours. The slope was too trembling and there was no flat ground. I had a fever right away at night. . . .So maybe she thinks I'm a bit weak. .Actually, I really want to participate
