The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Diamond Ace: The Return of the Pitcher Chapter 61

"Ping!"

After entangled with two balls, Sawamura swung his bat and flew the ball out. After the baseball flew out, he was caught by the third baseman.

"Out!"

Akagi Middle School had three strikes, four strikes and two super strong hits. Feng Xiangaoyi and Sawamura Rongchun were out.

Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, under the leadership of ace pitcher Mari, finally managed to win a city.

Next, they struck out Akagi's fifth bar again, making Akagi three ups and downs!

"Three outs, offense and defense swap."

In the second half of the fourth game, Nagano all attacked.

Because no one has ever played on base before, they started from the first bar in this round.

Before the attack, Feng Xiang Long Yi suddenly stopped the first shot he was preparing to play.

"coach?"

The first hitter looked at Feng Xiang and Long Yi puzzled.

"You can aim at the inner corner for the first shot and swing."

"why?"

The beater was puzzled.

Feng Xiang Long Yi smiled softly: "I have counted. The probability of Sawamura making a straight ball in the inner corner at the beginning is 70%, 23% in the outer corner, and 7% of the change ball. You've seen him pitch before. If the first ball is guaranteed It should be possible to hit the ball."

"Yes!"

The hitter seemed to get a magic weapon to win, and went to the strike zone excitedly.

The assistant coach of Nagano Metropolitan Government looked at Feng Xiang Long Yi with very suspicious eyes.

"Coach, did you really count?"

"Don't be silly, I have that skill. But in the first round, Sawamura shot the outside corner. He is not a typical pitcher who likes to attack the outside corner. For the first goal in this game, the probability of shooting the inside corner should be relatively high. ."

"what?"

The assistant coach was stunned: "What if you guessed wrong?"

"What does it matter if you guessed wrong? Anyway, it's a blind cat that kills a mouse. It's natural if you encounter it, and there is no loss if you don't."

Chapter 038

"Ping!"

Sawamura's inside corner straight ball was hit and flew in the direction of third base.

"Yamaguchi!"

Sawamura immediately greeted third baseman Yamaguchi to defend.

"give it to me!"

Although the ball was hit by a blind cat and a dead mouse, it went out.But Sawamura's ball power is not given in vain. After hitting the ball, the player did not hit the ball far, and the ball did not fly fast.In professional terms, this is an infield rebound that is not very difficult to handle.

Yamaguchi Ken twisted his fat body, rushed forward, stopped the ball neatly, and passed it back to first baseman Oda.

"Out!"

Akagi Middle School successfully scored the first number of outs, and Sawamura gave a thumbs up at Yamaguchi.

"Good job!"

"Hey~"

Yamaguchi was a little embarrassed, but he felt that he did a good job.Although the ball is not difficult to handle, there were no obvious errors in his interception and passing.

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

Feng Xiang Long Yi looked at Oda who was catching the ball thoughtfully.

The pass just now was not without deviation, but the deviation was really not big. The first baseman did not leave the base bag, but simply changed his receiving posture to catch the ball steadily.

This may be a normal thing for other teams.But it was different for Akagi. Compared with a year ago, their current performance is completely different from the two teams.

"Not only the pitcher, Akagi's entire team has improved. No wonder Dabei Middle School has no chance at all."

Feng Xiang Long Yi judged in his heart.

"Coach, sorry!"

Faced with Feng Xiang Long Yi, he was extremely ashamed of the first bat that had just ended.

The coach has already told him about the ball, but he hasn't hit Zecun's ball yet.After limiting the course, it should not be difficult to hit a 130-kilometer straight ball at the level of Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School.

After all, Nagano Metropolitan also has a pitching machine, and they have simulated ball speeds of 130 or higher.The pitching of the pitching machine is almost the same as the straight shot that limits the ball.Before they played the ball thrown by the pitching machine, they all played well.

"It's okay, the hit just now was good, didn't it almost take the hit?"

Feng Xiang Long Yi smiled and comforted the hitter: "How do you feel when you just hit Zecun's pitch?"

From being unable to touch the ball, to being able to hit the ball now, this is a very obvious improvement!Feng Xiang Long Yi originally thought that he would encourage a few words, and the little guys would definitely express their determination with excitement, saying that they would definitely play something next time.

Unexpectedly, the answer given by the beater was not like this.

"Very heavy! The bat hits a baseball, it feels like it hits a shot put, and the bat is heavy as if it is about to fly out..."

Ok?

Feng Xiang Long Yi gave the hitter an incredible look, then set his eyes on the pitcher's mound again.

In addition to changes in ball speed and space, and changes in urgency, is even the power of the ball heavy?

"Really a terrible opponent."

Once out, no one is on base.

It was the turn of the beater for the second shot of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, and the beater made a decisive shot without hesitation in his swing.

"Ping!"

The white ball was hit and flew to the shortstop guard position.

"cool!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zecun's eyes, but nothing could be seen on his face. He just reminded Fengliang Zhengtai to guard.

Fengliang rushed out to catch the ball, but did not expect the baseball to bounce irregularly after landing.(The baseball itself rotates, or the irregular rebound caused by uneven ground.)

Feng Liang waited at the position where the baseball was supposed to rebound, and made a big splash.

The baseball pierced the cool defense and bounced to the outfield.

The first hit of Nagano Metropolitan Government appeared!

With their second ball, they ran to first base smoothly.

Once out, there are people at first base.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura indifferently made a gesture of comfort to Feng Liang.

The irregular bounce just now belongs to the category of luck, and has nothing to do with defensive errors.

Feng Liang nodded and returned to his defense position.

Zecun turned his head and glanced at the runner on first base, with a trace of solemnity hidden in his eyes.

The first hitter can be said to be a blind cat hitting a mouse, but two consecutive hitters swing the bat on the first ball, and they both guessed the path and hit the ball.This is a coincidence, but Zecun doesn't believe it.

Wiping the corner of his mouth with the glove, Sawamura's eyes flashed with high fighting spirit.At first he thought that Nagano would not be able to play any tricks, but now it seems that he is underestimating his opponent.

"Is the match ball seen through? Is it my own little action, or is it our secret signal?"

Thinking of his little actions, Sawamura immediately denied this.His pitching posture has been corrected by more than a dozen coaches in the major leagues. Although I dare not say that there is no flaw, the human eye should still not see the flaw.

The only possibility left is that one's own secret code has been seen through.

Zecun and Fengxiang cooperated in pitching, and naturally there was a secret signal.If there is no sign, Feng Xiang will be able to catch the 130-kilometer high-speed ball.In addition, Zecun's ball control is good, and when the inner and outer corners are staggered, it is normal for Fengxiang to miss the ball if he does not know in advance the way Zecun will shoot.

Of course, this also proves Zecun’s pitching prowess. The catchers are not easy to catch, and the hitters are naturally more difficult to play.

So Sawamura's natural guess is that their secret codes have been seen through.Regardless of Nagano's first shot or second shot, it was obvious that the ball was locked in a swing.Otherwise, as long as their hearts are shaken, it will be difficult to hit Nakazawa Village.

The ball has not been seen through, and a pitcher who has a good ball control must have an advantage over an unstable ball because the initiative is held by the pitcher.But once the ball is seen through, a pitcher with good ball control has no advantage.Instead, a pitcher who doesn't control the ball makes it impossible for the hitter to aim, and a pitcher who doesn't control the ball can't make it even if the catcher asks him to shoot the inside and outside corners.Good ball control is not the same. As long as you see through the ball, you can lock the ball to be played in a very small range, because a good pitcher will definitely throw the ball there.

After having doubts, Zecun certainly needs to verify.

After he waited for the third ball to come on the court, he pitched a ball on the floater and then another ball on the floater with his leg raised.For these two goals, Mari did not swing his bat.

At this time, Sawamura was firmer in his guess. It should be that the opponent saw through the match between himself and Fengxiang. He even guessed Nagano’s countermeasures. They should have given up their floating ball and shifting ball, and only aimed at Straight ball to swing.

Such speculation did not ease Zecun, but made him somewhat difficult.

After all, it is impossible for him to throw all the floating balls with his wrists pressed, or all the variable-speed balls.The purpose of the change ball is to make the straight ball more powerful, and all pitches with the change ball as the core are tantamount to death.

Chapter 039-The Art of Attack

Ninety-nine percent of the change balls that Sawamura figured out in his previous life were hard balls.Of these, there are not many that can be used with soft balls, otherwise Sawamura will not continue until now. When confronting people, he only uses straight balls, floating balls and shift balls.

Not to mention the pure straight ball, the floating ball and the shift ball, both can only be used as a surprise ball.Using them as the main match ball is tantamount to looking for death.

Sawamura’s floating ball uses wrist pressure to increase the spin of the baseball.A dozen or so shots of this kind of ball are fine. Once this kind of ball is used as the main match, the opponent can quickly get used to it, let alone, Sawamura's own wrist can't stand it.Throwing the ball with your wrist is already a heavy burden on your opponent's wrist. Throwing a 130-kilometer ball in this posture is even more burdensome.

There are too many shots to throw, and there is no need to wait for the end of the game, Zecun will be abandoned.

As for the shift ball, there is no physical burden.But this kind of ball is just like magic, the variable speed ball is mixed in the straight ball, which will make the beater at a loss.But once the variable-speed ball is continuously thrown, this kind of slow ball path will definitely be seen through and aimed.For example, it's like a magic show in which the trick is debunked. What you are performing is no longer a magic trick, but a joke.

That's why Sawamura feels uncomfortable, and the other side clearly knows that Sawamura can't miss a straight ball, so he made this kind of countermeasure.

He didn't think of a good idea for a while, and Zecun immediately decided to win the game before talking.Although it is impossible for him not to shoot a straight ball in a game, if it is just one game, he can still use a floating ball and a variable speed ball to support it.

Facing Mari, Sawamura, who had two goals ahead, threw his third goal.

"Wow!"

The white ball, like a laser beam, flew from Sawamura's hand to the strike zone.

In the strike zone, Mari seemed to have been prepared, bowing and holding the bat short.At this moment, he chose to use strike.

"Ping!"

After being touched, the white ball rolled and fell directly in front of the pitcher.

Zecun ran forward a few steps, picked up the ball, and sent it to first base.

"Out!"

Without any suspense, the beater Ma Li was blocked out.However, their first base runners have quietly lurked to second base.

This is a typical strike pass.

The tactics are clear at a glance, but what is the purpose of this tactic?Zecun couldn't see through.

I was out just now, and now I have sent another out.Next, as long as he can solve Tuyuan head-on, he can end the round steadily.What is the purpose of sending people to second base at this time of Nagano Metropolitan Government?

You must know that Akagi just had a chance to win a double play, but Sawamura wanted to use the safest method to solve his opponent, so he didn't pass second base first.If he passes second base first, Akagi has a 50-60% probability of winning a double play.Of course, there is a 40-50% chance that both the runner and the hitter will be on base.

Akagi now has an absolute advantage and there is no need to take risks.As long as you take your advantage like a snowball, the bigger and bigger, sooner or later, your opponent will be wiped out. There is no need to take risks.

Akagi has no reason to take risks, and Nagano has no reason to take risks to tell the truth.A definite hit is very helpful for their advancement.In the seven games, if you want the fourth stick Tuyuan to stand in the strike zone for the third time, then they must have at least one effective hit.The move just now is likely to cause Nagano to lose this hit.

Taking such a big risk, Sawamura did not believe that Nagano had no intentions.

Thinking about it, he glanced at the bullpen in Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, especially the well-dressed handsome figure.

Feng Xiang Long Yi!

Sawamura couldn't see what this guy had planned.This invisible feeling is very annoying.

Turning the baseball in his hand, Sawamura's eyes began to sink.

No matter what the opponent wants to fix, their ultimate goal is nothing more than to use the second base runner who has already made the scoring lap to get a point.To accomplish this goal, Tuyuan must play a long hit.

"It works, just try it!"
