Chapter 7: Are you still human?(1/2)

"How many types do you use now?"

"The ones that have been used include the forkball, the changeup, the four-seam pitch, the side-throwing slider, the submarine-throwing curveball..."

When Li Lei told Supervisor Todoroki Raizo about the transformation ball that he had already used, Todoroki Raizo's head was confused for a while.

Just by hearing the names of these changing balls, he was already confused.

It’s hard for Director Todoroki Raizo to imagine that a catcher can remember so many balls on the field?

And when there are more weapons, there is also a very troublesome thing.

So how to choose?

Supervisor Todoroki Raizo glanced at his main catcher Watanabe with regret.

He can imagine it.

Compared with Li Lei's super luxurious engine, the material of Watanabe's casing is too poor.

He simply couldn't handle Li Lei's speed.

So much so that Li Lei had to deliberately suppress it during the pitching process.

"There are so many changing balls, how about your touch?"

Supervisor Todoroki Raizo asked.

But before he finished asking this question, Supervisor Todoroki Raizo realized that he had made a common sense mistake.

Li Lei is able to learn so many changing balls so quickly.

There is only one reasonable explanation.

That's his pitching feel, which is one-in-a-million, or even one-in-a-million.

It's no wonder that Li Lei can control the ball so accurately.

Not only did he divide the strike zone into squares, but he could also switch to the same position within each small square.

That level of ball control.

Not to mention the whole of Tokyo, even if you look at the whole country, you can count them on your fingers.

As far as pitching is concerned, Fang Xiang's degeneration is really complete.

It’s no wonder that, for such a prickly player, I was eventually selected for a national-level team.

"The level of each of his changing balls is the same, right? Although each of his changing balls is wrong, they are all considered sharp and can reach the level of a killer shot. Doesn't he have such a killer ball? "

Todoroki Watanabe asked.

The reason why Todoroki Watanabe asked that question was to suppress Ichigami Raizo's arrogance.

In case that guy is looking for something wrong.

Raizo's problem is not that there are no winning goals, but that I have too few winning goals.

When there is no genius, it is not that there is no such trouble.

Because there are so few things that I am good at, it is difficult to make choices and trade-offs.

Lei Zang has practiced so few variations of pitches. Although my pitching is ever-changing, I have not practiced every variation of pitches to the extreme.

Take Junpei Sanada of our team as an example.

The number of Sanada's change balls is far greater than that of Shimo Raizo's.

But Sanada's intimidating power under the pitcher's mound is equally impressive.

Especially my winning goal!

Before Raizo heard Supervisor Todoroki Watanabe's question, he didn't say anything to defend himself.

Instead, he glanced at Li Lei subconsciously.

Um?

Of course, my big move did not escape the eyes of Director Todoroki Watanabe.

"What does he mean?"

Lei Zang shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

Todoroki Watanabe dared to ask again.

Raizo's posture seemed to be telling Todoroki Fangxiang.

I didn't have the winning goal, it was just my winning goal that Li Lei caught.

How can it be?

That was Todoroki Watanabe's truest thought.

Even Fang Xiang's super spin, Li Lei was able to safely catch it outside his glove.

There is no ball yet. Did Li Lei catch it or stop it?

Those words must have been said by someone else. Director Todoroki Watanabe would definitely let it go. I would even doubt it.

He has used it before, how do you know if your partner is picking it up?

But it was Raizo who said that.

Lei Zang practices with Fang Xiang almost every day.

"Want to change my partner?"

As soon as that idea came up, Director Todoroki Watanabe gave it up.

It's hard for a clever woman to make enough rice to cook a meal.

Even if I had no idea, there was no one on the Yaoshi Junior High School baseball team who wanted to replace Li Lei.

Apart from Fang Xiang, only Qiuye can serve as a catcher.

Qiuye means to be a catcher, but it seems that I am weaker than Li Lei.

The two of them weighed about half a catty and four ounces together.

But the summer mini-season is over, and our current lineup hasn't been refined for a long time.

The consequences of suddenly changing the catcher are difficult to predict.

Taken together, the substitution is a good idea.

Since substitutions are possible, there is probably a way to use the change ball that Raizo regarded as the winning goal.

That is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing.

Especially considering that we had to challenge the eight small giants in Nishi Tokyo before.

This means that Fang Xiang can have one less winning goal at the bottom of the box.

I doubt how much our chances of winning will improve.

But there is a way...

Todoroki Watanabe is upset when he sees Raizo now. Who would have thought that Raizo was the cause of all this?

"Let's practice hitting. Does he want to be lazy?"

My supervisor's face is just like that of a child, and he changes his mind at every turn.

Fortunately, after a few months of getting along with him, Raizo hadn't gotten used to it yet, so I ended my daily strike training.

Other swing exercises by my partners are special treatment.

Anyone who can pitch with a pitching machine is considered a member of the Yakushi Junior High School Baseball Team.

Fang Xiang’s swing practice and treatment.

When the team's players retired for fielding practice, I had a one-on-one duel with two of the team's pitchers.

One of us can shoot seventy balls!

The process was very slow. When he was only half a boy, Raizo completed 100 bat swing exercises.

"cut!"

Even in the game against the Seiko Junior High School baseball team, Raizo showed extraordinary hitting ability.

When he faced off against Sanada Junpei and Yano-senpai again, Raizo still felt it was difficult.

Sure enough, my striking ability is still far from enough.

Director Todoroki Watanabe now generally hates seeing Raizo's disgraced appearance.

"It doesn't matter if you can see a vague gap, it means that he has no room to retreat."

After commenting on Raizo's hitting, Todoroki Watanabe asked Raizo to practice pitching outside the bullpen.

After all, Raizo is a pitcher, and pitching is my job.

Before Lei Zang left, Todoroki Todoroki asked the team's leader.
