Chapter 85 Natural Enemies

"Let's observe together again!"

"Tch, are you observing the path of the ball? Then this hitter must have discovered that Eijun's ball is turning! It seems like you can't pitch more than a few innings just relying on the ball in the center. Since you want to observe, you're welcome. It's a good number." When the second batter saw the first pitch and decided to continue observing, Xiandao under the mask glanced at the batter and mentally complained.

(Sawamura’s quirky ball is one that starts to change before the strike zone. The traditional Japanese play is the golden rooster independent play pioneered by Oh Sadaharu. It is also called the scarecrow play. It is to lift the front foot so that you can use the power brought by the step. .

The only difference between various hitters is how much they lift their front foot. One disadvantage of this style of play is that when swinging the bat, the batter cannot see the ball when the ball and bat are about to come into contact, which means he loses his vision of the ball. This is when Sawamura's ball begins to change. , which leads to all the batters feeling strange after hitting the ball, without knowing the movement of the ball at all.

This is why, in the original work, except for Tetsuya, Rei, and a few people, they only discovered the characteristics of Sawamura's ball after specifically seeing the changes in the ball in the strike zone.

So if you hit the ball when you see it, it will be like the practice match between the team and the senior class, and you will not know how you died.

In addition, according to my observation, Sawamura's Carter Ball is more biased towards the normal Carter Ball, that is, it changes earlier, so it will not change like the quirk ball, and the later changes are biased towards the quirk ball, so the batter It will feel like the ball has disappeared. )

"Snapped!"

"strike two!"

"The changes this time are different."

"Are you confused? Don't know what to do? Goodbye then!" He said and signed the code.

"Where?" Sawamura was stunned!

"Don't hesitate! Come on!" Xiandao opened his hands to show his attitude.

"It's none of my business if I make a big shot!" Sawamura thought to himself and started to throw the ball.

"What should we do? We have to swing the bat!" When the second batter saw Sawamura starting to pitch, he was so panicked that he could only swing the bat forcefully!

"Strike! Batter out!"

The final pitch is an outside corner pitch that does not need to be pitched down and is equivalent to an inside corner pitch against a left-handed batter.

This kind of ball has a very high probability of greatly deviating from the strike zone if the random changes of the quirky ball are included.

But the batter has no way out. When she sees the ball in the strike zone, she has to take action. As for how the ball will change, she has no time to think about it. It happens that the ball continues to float outward. If it is a left-handed hitter, it may It's a touch ball.

"Nice!" Xiandao had to praise Sawamura's courage. To be honest, Sawamura didn't realize that he had good ball skills, and he couldn't remember it when others told him. However, Sawamura knew that he had no control over the ball at all, so he just watched I was worried about missing the mark when I got the signal.

"This will give me more confidence! Let's take down three batters in one go and turn the situation completely in our favor!" Sendao looked at Sawamura and thought to himself.

"Sorry! That kid's straight ball is weird and turns irregularly!" The batter who was struck out shared the information with his teammates who were about to take the field.

"what?"

“In short, just observe one ball first and you will know, but don’t observe too much. One ball can only be observed one ball.

That catcher will catch us mentally and prioritize the strike so we have to take action on unknown pitches! Don't hit the second ball with your legs raised, be more steady. "Although the second batter struck out, he still easily figured out how he was killed.

"I understand!" Although she didn't know what unknown pitch her teammates were talking about, she still chose to believe that the trust between baseball teammates is very strong, especially the stronger the team, the stronger the trust.

"What's going on? I see you are confused. Is there any secret about that kid's ball?" Coach Mitani asked the returning batter.

……

On the other hand, three batters were in place and the game continued.

"I don't know what's going on, but I believe in my teammates!" The three batters clenched their bats and made movements to hit the ball, but it was all in vain.

"That second bat must have told you something, so it's useless no matter how much you pretend, you don't know how to swing, and Eijun's ball can't be hit just by seeing it a few times." Sendao saw the other party. With your stance, you know the opponent will not take action.

"In the center! Ha!" Sawamura saw the code, raised his hands high, and showed his unique smile.

"Do you get excited so easily? You guy..."    "Pa!"

"strike!"

"...How innocent!" Qiu Xiandao said the second half of the sentence in his heart.

"What? It's gone?! Is this a straight ball for this kid? No, his ball movement is irregular!" Thinking of this, the batter held the bat a little shorter.

"This guy's ball is not so easy to hit! What's more, it's a wooden bat!"

"Pong!" Another straight ball in the center, and the batter hit a very high fly ball to third base.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" the third baseman shouted to remind his teammates.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Yo Xi! Three outs to change the game!" Xiandao gently pulled up his mask, got up and ran off the field.

"Why? Just an ordinary straight ball can defeat the three top players of Sakura Women's University?" The players from the elementary school of Demei Academy who were watching the game were very confused.

"Sorry! Coach!"

"Don't worry, that kid's ball is very interesting! It should be a moving ball! That kind of ball will change irregularly in your hand.

It's like a butterfly ball, but the range of changes is not as exaggerated as a butterfly ball. However, the speed is incomparable to the butterfly ball that does not rotate and relies on the power of the fingers to pop up only a few dozen kilometers.

For us, it is indeed as troublesome as a natural enemy! And the ball speed is not slow. Remember, at the beginning of the next pitch, everyone should go to the front edge of the pitch area to see if they can hit the center of the ball before it changes! "

"Hi!!!"

Coach Mitani learned about Sawamura's characteristics through the players, but he had no idea what to do. A wooden bat with a weak grip and a 130-kilometer speedball-type quirky ball that was very fast for a girl was a nightmare! It can be said that hitting the ball depends entirely on your face.

……

"Nice pitch! Sakae-chan!"

"Nice!"

"Okay, stop praising him. He's so proud that he's going to heaven!" Xiandao looked at everyone praising Zecun, and saw that Sawacun's little face started to turn red, so he said teasingly.

"Who is so carried away that he wants to go to heaven? Xiandao, you guy, can't you say something nice about me?"

"Okay, now it's our turn to attack, as usual.

We are weak, so we have to watch the pitch carefully, steal bases as close as we can, put pressure on them and make them make mistakes, let's go! "

"Oh!!!"

　It’s too late, so I’ll go to bed first! Good night
