The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Kataoka said disapprovingly.

"Then I have a chance too."

Sawamura took his bat and looked at Kataoka with piercing eyes.

"casual!"

The opponent is Kataoka alone, and it is impossible for everyone in the first army to play.The main players take turns to attack, and the others are responsible for defense.

A pleasant training, that's how it started.

This time it was adaptation-oriented, not a real offensive drill.Therefore, Qingdao’s line-up was not arranged according to normal rules.It is arranged in accordance with the importance of the strike.

Zecun ranked second.

The first, of course, is formation.

After forming a stand in the strike zone, facing Kataoka's pitch, his performance was not good.With three goals, he hit one ball in total, and the ball he hit was an infield rebound.

"Hebei, is this how you look serious? I don't think so."

On the high pitcher hill, Kataoka is very strict.

"Be sure to let me fight again!"

The formation was obviously stimulated, and his eyes became sharp.

"Line up, I will let each of you fight enough."

After the formation, Zecun stood in the strike zone.

"Please advise!"

After saluting Kataoka respectfully, Sawamura raised the bat in his hand.

Although the blow is not as cool for Sawamura as it is for pitching.But this does not mean that he has no ambitions in the attack, on the contrary, Sawamura is very ambitious in the attack.

Being able to play against Kataoka, whether it is from personal feelings or the challenge of pitching, is a very exciting thing for Sawamura.

bring it on!

The senior onlookers looked at Zecun, who was motivated, with emotion.

"This brat is really not easy, even in the face of supervision, he doesn't shrink at all."

"Because of this, he is Sawamura."

On the pitcher hill, Kataoka was also satisfied with Sawamura's performance.

This is the ace of the Qingdao, the attitude it should have.

"I won't be merciful!"

Kataoka said.

"Can't ask for it!"

Sawamura didn't shrink back at all, even if he was against Kataoka, he didn't show any weakness at all.

"Wow!"

The white ball came whizzing.

On the strike zone, Zecun's expression sank.

The ball is so fast, faster than expected.And it's not the usual rigid pitching. Kataoka's pitching seems to have life.

"awesome!"

Zecun couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, such pitching can't scare him.He still counted on the timing and swung his club decisively.

The bat swung out, but the white ball suddenly fell.

Zecun's swing failed.

This is the high-altitude curve ball!

It's no wonder that as a captain, two of the three goals missed.

The ball fell from top to bottom, and it was not a straight line, but a diagonal line.

From the point of view of the hitters, what they want to hit is not a line, but an intersection.

Time, location, strength of swing...

These have to be perfected!

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hit the ball.

"Come again!"

The bat was raised again, Sawamura's eyes fixed on Kataoka.

"This stinky boy, dare to stare at the supervisor."

"Sawamura has nothing to dare to do."

"In other words, the supervising ball speed is too fast, it's over one hundred and four!"

...

Chapter 087 The Problem of Ball Speed

On that day, all the main fighters of the Qingdao Army were on the court.

The record is not ideal.

There were a total of eleven hitters in Qingdao High School who hit the ball. There were more than ten people who didn't even touch the ball during the whole process.

This is not about a boxing seat, all the fighters of the Aodo Army have at least duel with Kataoka three times.Like Jicheng and Zecun, the top ranked players even played four times.

On this day, Kataoka pitched more than two hundred.

"It really is a monster!"

That's what Isaki Jun said when he finally evaluated Kataoka.Kataoka's pitch was very powerful all the way to the end.

The eleven people who hit the ball were Kuramochi, Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Isashiki, the captain, Sawamura, Masuko, Chris, Miyuki, Hakushu, Sakai, and Haru Kominato.

The Nanmu seniors, including Jiang Gu Xiao, didn't even touch the ball in the end.

Three hits, three strikes.

Curved balls dropped from a high altitude, mixed straight balls, and a ball speed of more than one hundred and four, make it difficult for players to seize the opportunity to swing.

The hit here is not a hit, it just means that the hitter touched the ball without using a short stick!

Of course, hits are not completely absent.In the second round, Captain Tetsuya formed and scored the hit.

Four hits, two hits.

Jie Chengzhe also used his own strength to show the four great ambitions of Qingdao High School.

In addition to the two hits he hit, there were five other hits.

They are Miyuki, Chris, Sawamura, Isashiki Jun, and Kominato Ryosuke.

In the face of the luxurious fight line formed by the entire Aodo High School, Kataoka lost only 7 hits.

"This man, to this day, still maintains the terrifying power of a professional player!"

Ochiai originally watched Kataoka, only a little admired, but now he is completely amazed.

In high school, Ochiai also played baseball.His best record is to reach the second round of the competition, and his position is a substitute for the rotation.

Although on the career path of coaching, the success is not small.But in the age of players, Ochiai is a veritable weak chicken.

From his standpoint, it is impossible to understand why Kataoka did not directly participate in the professional baseball draft and chose to become the supervisor of Aodo High School.

Not to mention anything else, just the salary gap cannot be rejected by ordinary people.

No matter how good Aodo High School is to Kataoka, it is impossible to give him more than the salary of a professional player.

Even if Supervisor Kataoka is really interested in being a supervisor, he can still do it after his professional retirement.

Having a professional experience and fame will make Kataoka's road of supervision easier.

"It's really a man who makes people hard to guess!"

After the training, Supervisor Kataoka actively found Sawamura.

"Your pitching ability is already perfect! If you want to go to the next level, you have two options."

Two ways?

Although Sawamura had already faintly felt some signs of this incident, he still wanted to hear what Supervisor Kataoka said.

"After mastering the new pitching posture proficiently, your current pitching is extremely fast in the eyes of the player. In addition, your own ball speed is not slow, and in high school pitchers, you can also be regarded as a fast-ball pitcher. Both. In the case of, your ball speed is sufficient. In the case of sufficient ball speed, as long as you sharpen your change ball, your strength can naturally rise to a level."

In fact, Kataoka doesn't need to say this suggestion, Sawamura knows it himself.

He did this in his previous life. He tempered all the colorful change balls sharply, and then used the ever-changing ball path to solve the opponent.

However, such an approach is very flawed.

"Of course, this approach has some limitations. After all, the most terrifying thing about really powerful hitters is their extremely terrifying intuition. As long as the ball comes, no matter what changes, they just want to hit the ball. Faced with this The hitter, no matter how sharply changing the ball, is not enough."

Hearing Kataoka's addition, Sawamura's eyes lit up.

Although he already had a clear idea in his mind, he was still not as straightforward as Kataoka.

It turned out that the path I chose at the beginning was flawed...

"What should I do if I face such a hitter?"

Because of Kataoka's bluntness, Sawamura was also blunt, he asked immediately.

"Don't you have enough weapons to win?"

what?

Sawamura looked at Kataoka in confusion.

His appearance gave Kataoka a rare sense of accomplishment.

Although he himself was prompted by Ochiai, he had a clear idea.But being able to educate Zecun really made this strict supervisor very happy.

"You are afraid that it will be difficult for you to reach Jiangguxiao's ball speed throughout your life. This has nothing to do with personal efforts. In my most prosperous state, I have never honed the ball speed above 145 kilometers. This is the body that God has given us. But God is fair, especially for talented people, don’t underestimate your original quirk ball. Although this kind of ball changes slightly, but as long as you exercise it well, Enough to allow you to deal with any hitter."

Sawamura never expected that Kataoka would recommend him to hone the quirk ball!

The quirk ball also has limitations. If the opponent's swing is too strong, it is very likely that the quirk ball will be swept away.

Among all the balls in Sawamura, although the quirk ball is difficult to deal with, it is definitely not a high-level product.

"Each pitcher has his own characteristics. Abandoning his own characteristics is tantamount to abandoning the original. The ultimate move that can be honed in the hands is first, and you can hone it. As for your concerns, there is actually no way to solve them."

The weakness of the quirk ball can be solved!

This was too shocking for Zecun.He stared at Kataoka with fiery eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Ball speed, power, good pitching rhythm."

Kataoka said solemnly.

Zecun was confused.

Ball speed, ball power, pitching rhythm!

Isn't this the most basic thing for a pitcher?He has never relaxed in this regard.

"Have you ever thought about using the oddball ball as a tiebreaker?"

Kataoka didn't wait for Sawamura to ask, he said directly as if seeing through Sawamura's heart.

These words, like a dull bell, roared in Zecun's mind.

Yeah, he never thought about taking a quirk ball to be the decisive ball!

Because he has other decisive goals~

Who would take a low-level ball as the decisive ball?
