The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Diamond Ace: The Return of the Pitcher Chapter 10

The two teamed up to create the best record in history for the Nagano Metropolitan Little League, runner-up in the Kanto region.There is no unified national competition in elementary schools. For children in the Kanto region, the Kanto Regional Competition is already the highest level of competition they can come into contact with.

Since then, it seems that I have never heard from Feng Xiang again.Everyone guessed that he might have chosen baseball to study abroad, joined a youth baseball team in a foreign country, or a powerful middle school.

I didn't expect to see him in Akagi, which was really surprising.

"It's Fengxiang, no wonder..."

"But how could such a person be in Akagi? Shouldn't he go to a stronger place?"

"Who knows, he probably has his own reasons."

Several people with experience in the Little League have talked a lot.The Nagano Gemini is so famous that they can't pretend not to care.

Zecun was the hit zone that was boarded under this situation.

He also faintly heard the discussion, although it was not real, but he could judge it.Everyone should have recognized the identity of Senior Feng Xiang.

Zecun was not very clear about Feng Xiang's previous experience, but he could also guess that Feng Xiang must be extraordinary.

The first time I saw my own pitching, I was able to seize the opportunity to swing his baton. With such vision and skill, Feng Xiangao was enough to rank in the top one thousand for people who Zecun knew.If limited to players of the same age, Feng Xiangaoyi could even rank in the top 100 among the people Zecun knew.

This ranking seems to be nothing remarkable, but it is not.To know the experience of Yizecun, in his previous life in Qingdao, he had seen many top fighters of the same era, not to mention that he later saw professional masters and strong fights in the major leagues.

Among these people, Feng Xiang could rank in the top 100.

How could such a player be unknown before?

If you change to an ordinary person, you will inevitably be curious about Feng Xiangaoyi's previous experience.But Zecun will not, he has even experienced rebirth, not to mention that he was a famous rescue pitcher even in the major leagues in his previous life.

It is difficult for such a person to be interested in a famous player in elementary school.

For Zecun, the real test of a person's strength depends on the last two years of middle school and high school.Only then can you really see the potential of a player.There is no shortage of examples on the baseball field when it is too small.

In elementary school, because some people develop early, some people develop late.At that time, there may be a big gap in strength, but it is hard to say what will happen afterwards.Unlike middle school and high school, where the body has grown 70% to 80%, it is easier to see a person's potential in comparison.

Even in professional baseball, professional scouts also value the players' experience in junior baseball (middle school) and high school, and even count these in the player's database.As for the Little League, unless it is exceptionally prominent, it will not be counted as a score.

Zecun couldn't control how prominent Feng Xiangaoyi was in middle school.

Since he has entered Akagi, he is Akagi's partner and teammate.Whether he was well-known in the world or not one, Zecun did not intend to let them down.

"The seniors are on base. As the four clubs in the team, I can't disappoint you in anything!"

Sawamura's eyes were calm, ignoring the whispers of the surrounding audience, his eyes fixed on the pitcher on the pitcher mound.

He was completely absorbed, but these little friends of Shi Lun were taken aback.

Before the game, they heard from their coach Ishikawa that Akagi's team was formed with Sawamura as the core.Sawamura also showed a good blow when he played against them in the Second Army.

There were two hits in three rounds.

The batting rate is 60%.

He is a very good player, strong in both shooting and playing.

If there is any enviable position on the baseball field, it is undoubtedly the ace pitcher and four sticks.

You don't need to perform more, just listen to the title, you can feel the weight of this person in the team.In the current Akagi, Zecun is like that.

Although Feng Xiang Ouichi and Oda Honjo joined in, the status of Sawamura remained unchanged.

He is still the core four-stick and ace pitcher on the team.

On the pitcher's mound.

Tanaka let out a sigh, he knew that Zecun's strength should be good, otherwise he wouldn't squeeze Feng Xiangao to the third.

But Tanaka is not Miki from the Second Army. When he was compared with Feng Xiangao, he didn't recognize the opponent, so he didn't use his tiebreaker.

But now, he decided to use the tie-breaker to play against Sawamura.

Thinking about it, he also glanced at his bullpen.

Coach Ishikawa nodded at him.

Although it is a good opportunity to pass the opponent's four bars, such a situation development seems to be more beneficial to Shi Lun.

But considering the situation of the game, Coach Ishikawa still believes that there is no need to escape Sawamura.Not to mention that the duel between Tanaka and Sawamura may not necessarily be lost, and Sawamura's blows were not so powerful that it was terrifying.One more thing, they are a seeded team after all, and must play the momentum of a seeded team.

Once they escaped from the duel with Zemura, the little guys under his own might think that the opponent is that kind of invincible opponent...

Carrying such a psychological baggage, it is very likely that they will play harder in the subsequent games.

A baseball game is similar to a confrontation between the two armies. The stronger the side, the more upright to use strength to crush the opponent.Even if you have to take some risks in this process, it doesn't matter.

"Wow!"

With the coach's consent, Tanaka took the ball decisively.

The baseball flew from his hand into the catcher's glove like a ray of light, and a crackle came from the glove.

"Bad ball!"

The pitch deviated from the inner corner of the good ball, and the referee awarded the bad ball.

For this ball, Sawamura did not swing his bat.

He can see clearly on the strike zone.The ball speed is one hundred and twenty-five, and an ordinary inside corner straight ball.For Ze Village, who has received a professional baptism, this kind of ball is almost like a child playing house.

It was just a tricky shot. Sawamura was not sure to stop the shot in the bounds, so he didn't swing his bat.

Now it's a bad ball. According to Shi Lun's partner's previous ball-matching habits, they should shoot the next ball-outside corner!

"Wow!"

The baseball flies, the ball is straight from the outside corner.

Such a ball, if the swing is not thorough, it is easy to hit a throw-in.Shi Lun's shooting and catching partner, with the goal of this ball is also to pass this ball and score a good number of goals with out-of-bounds.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Zecun had bitten the ball long ago.

Shi Lun's pitcher is good at handling the ball and can distinguish simple inside and outside corners.A pitcher with such a wide path usually makes the hitter feel that the striker's belt is unusually wide, and it is difficult to target the pitcher's pitch angle.But for an old churros like Sawamura, the better a pitcher who holds the ball like this, the easier it is to guess his course.

Just like now, after a bad ball in the inner corner, there is at least a 70% probability that the opponent will shoot a straight ball in the outer corner!

And 70% is enough for Zecun to take a risk.

Sawamura's whole body turned like a top, and as he turned the bat in his hand began to swing.

"Ping!!!"

Without any suspense, Zecun’s bat hit the white ball fiercely, and then he saw the ball that was hit and flew.

"Fly, fly out!!!"

...

Chapter 017

"All, home run!!!"

Seeing the white ball, it flew out of the court.It took two or three seconds for the audience to react, and then looked at the boy who confidently extended a finger on the strike zone.

In the second round of the Nagano prefecture trials, they actually saw a home run?

If they were not from the group of friends and relatives of Shilun Middle School, they couldn't help but want to stand up and applaud Zecun.

Unlike high school competitions, home runs in middle school competitions are still rare.Unexpectedly, in this unrecognized game, someone hit a home run on the first ball.

Shi Lun's coach Ishikawa frowned and asked the recorder beside him in a low voice.

"Sawamura-kun, is it the first time he has participated in a competition for middle school students?"

"Yes, although this is already the second round of Akagi Middle School, their opponent in the first round, Akagi Nishi, was disqualified from the competition because of violence. Akagi Middle School won without a fight. Therefore, today is Akagi Middle School's first round. a match."

Ishikawa nodded.

In the qualifiers of the national competition, the first time he played the game, the first hit, he hit a home run.

"This is really a perfect opening!"

As if with a hunch, Coach Ishikawa felt that this home run would definitely not be so simple.

The audience was surprised, and Shi Lun's contestants were as disgusting as they swallowed flies.

They didn't know that Zecun had the strength and was prepared to lose points, but didn't they expect to be so embarrassed?In the first half of the game, he was hit with a home run, which was unacceptable no matter how he thought about it.

Shilun Middle School, the top ten strong school in Nagano Prefecture, was hit by a two-run home run by the fish belly team that participated in the competition for the first time.This spread, even if Shilun Middle School's reputation for so many years was completely ruined.

Even if they win in the end, they will probably be jokes by other strong schools.

Damn, damn!

The faces of the players in Shilun Middle School changed one by one.Most of them are third grade players, on average half a head taller than the players in Shilun Middle School.When these seniors glared at Akagi's junior brother with fierce eyes.Ordinarily, the elementary school students should be a little nervous, afraid, and at least they will feel frustrated.

But Akagi's players did not, they were still immersed in the joy of home runs.

Two points!

They even led Shi Lun's army by two points.I go, it's so dreamy, let them dance to calm down.

Friends, jumping around Zecun, who was back to home base, were very happy.

Shi Lun's players are even more angry, they don't understand, two points lead, is it worth so happy?The gap between the two sides is there, as long as Shi Lun thinks, he can catch the score back in minutes.

The final victory must be Shi Lun's!

Just two points, these hillbillies in Akagi are really ignorant.

The stands of the stadium are generally divided into three sides.They are the first base side, the third base side, and the outfield stand.The stand in the field is undoubtedly the most extensive.The first and third bases are only less than thirty meters long on both sides, so if you count the depth, you can have hundreds of seats.

The stand in the field is different, it can hold thousands of people.

In the match between Shi Lun and Akagi, Shi Lun's bullpen was on the first base side, and there were two hundred people sitting scattered in the stands.Most of them are students of Shi Lun and the parents and friends of the players.

On the third base side on the other side, that is, on the stand on the Akagi side.When the game first started, it was empty, there was no one, and it was as desolate as the desert.

Now, I don't know when two people came.These two people are very young, and a big brother who looks a lot like Yamaguchi's long-awaited reunion is simply a replica of Tufeiyuan.It's just that he is much higher than the mountain pass. The mountain pass is only 1.5 meters, and he seems to be at least 1.5 meters or more.

Among middle school students, they are very majestic.

The other one is tall and thin.The hair is considered to be very long among boys, tied into a braid, revealing a fair face.

To use Zecun’s adjectives, it is Tufeiyuan and Xiaobailian.

Seeing Akagi's friends cheering, Tu Feiyuan said in an annoying voice: "Akacheng is too easy to be satisfied, just two points, and it is worthy of such happiness. Shilun's strength is very strong, if they are not careful. Humph... "

Tu Feiyuan did not finish the rest, but he could see that he was not optimistic about Akagi.

Little white face, with Erlang's legs upright, chewing bubble gum in his mouth, blowing bubbles from time to time, and then letting the blown bubbles hit his face, then roll it with his tongue, and roll the bubble gum back into his mouth again .

"The reason Akagi is so happy is of course not only because of these two points."

Xiao Bailian's conclusion made Tu Feiyuan a little unacceptable, and he looked at his partner in confusion.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Bai Face blew a bubble again, then rolled it back into his mouth with his tongue, chewing it, and said unhurriedly: "They are pitchers who believe in their home."

Baseball is a sport that won't lose as long as the opponent does not score.If there is a good pitcher, as long as one's own side can bite down the points, the victory of the game can be ensured.

This is probably the case in Akagi now.

They were not satisfied with the two points in front of them, but saw the dawn of victory in the game.

After Sawamura, Akagi's fifth bar was quickly eliminated.

Three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges.

Akagi has been on the pitcher mound for the official game for a long time.

The hitters at Shilun Middle School got the advice of their coach before the game.

"The opponent's pitcher's pitch is definitely not under Tanaka. So, don't worry at the beginning and have to hit the opponent's pitch. Get used to his ball speed, consume his balls, struggle hard and don't get out easily. Of course, also There is no need to be afraid of the tail, their defense is very weak, as long as they have a good opportunity, they can swing decisively..."

Coach Ishikawa said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

With strategy, Shi Lun's players were very motivated. They looked at Akagi in their eyes as if Akagi's players were lambs to be slaughtered.

The second half of the game begins.

Coach Ishikawa asked someone to get the ball speed tester. He really wanted to know how fast Sawamura was.
