"Come and help them feed the ball, and put on the protective gear first." Supervisor Kataoka motioned to Tanba from the second army to change the protective gear.
"Yes!" Koichiro Tanba quickly ran to the equipment room, put on protective gear, and then ran back to stand in front of the protective net.
The three pitchers stood in a row. Opposite them were the catchers from the second team, including Keisuke Miyauchi. Because Supervisor Kataoka had restricted the ball path, the catchers from the second team could naturally come over to catch them.
A group of batters in an army put on protective gear, ball caps, batting gloves, hold bats, and stand in the hitting area or waiting area in order.
"Tamba, I'll hit your ball." Tetsuya Yuki walked to the batting area where Koichiro Tanba was pitching with a smile on his face, holding up the bat and waiting for his pitch.
Most of the first-year batters went to Jinguji I or Yagami's batter's box. Only first-year Tetsuya Yuuki, second-year players Namiki and Ita came to Koichiro Tanba's side.
Facing his familiar classmates, Koichiro Tanba began to relax his nervousness. He took a deep breath, raised his legs, stepped forward, and waved his arms to throw the baseball in his hand.
"call out!"
After seeing the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, Tetsuya Yuuki waved the bat in his hand without hesitation.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The first ball thrown by Koichiro Tanba was hit hard by Tetsuya Yuki.
"No, no, the ball is too weak." Tetsuya Yuki, who knocked away Koichiro Tanba's pitch with the first ball, said bluntly.
After hearing this, Koichiro Tanba took out another baseball from the ball frame next to him, turned it in his hand, waved his arm again, and threw the baseball in his palm.
This ball was a curveball that moved diagonally with a very large arc. From the beginning, the ball flew straight to the low area of the strike zone.
"call out!"
Tetsuya Yuuki still swung the bat without hesitation, and the angle of the low area was exactly the same as the direction in which the baseball was flying.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The second pitch thrown by Koichiro Tanba was knocked out by Tetsuya Yuki, and it was a hit in center field.
Sure enough, it was a curveball in the low area, and Damba's path was really easy to guess.
"Is this Yuki guy so mean to his classmates?" Namigi looked at Tetsuya Yuki who kept knocking away Koichiro Tanba's pitches, as if he was getting to know this junior all over again.
"He has completely figured out Tanba's game." Yida couldn't bear to see Koichiro Tanba's movements getting stiffer and stiffer.
After missing ten balls in a row, Yuuki Tetsuya withdrew from the batting area and asked the two seniors next to him to hit.
As Koichiro Tanba's control group, Yagami Yagami's four-seam fast ball and two-seam fast ball were not able to hit even a few balls even if the batter was Tokiyoshi; Jinguji Kazuichi's change ball was ten
Only three or four of the balls were hit. In comparison, Koichiro Tanba was really miserable.
Namiki walked to the right batter's box and stood up, holding the bat high in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
The baseball flew from the pitcher's mound in front, passing through the level of Namiki's knees, and the bat in his hand swung out quickly.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
After being hit by Namiki, the baseball flew backwards quickly, jumped over where Koichiro Tanba was, and landed on the infield.
Once you get to know Tambo, he's really good at hitting the ball!
After Namiki stood up in the batter's box again, he raised his bat and looked at Koichiro Tanba on the pitcher's bench, hoping that he would continue to pitch.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The distance that this ball was hit by Namiki was much farther than the previous ball, and it was already close to the boundary of the outfield.
"Tanbo, it's totally impossible for you to pitch like this! And even hitters will get worse with practice!" Dong Qingguo's voice came from outside the fence in the strike zone.
Nami turned around and looked over, only to see Dong Qingguo and the others holding bats and looking at the two of them.
"You guys go over there and line up." Dong Qingguo pointed his bat at Jinguji Ichi who was practicing in full swing, then walked up to Koichiro Tanba and shouted: "Next, practice with us.
Throw the ball with all your strength, got it?!"
"Ah...yes!" Koichiro Tanba looked straight at Yuki Tetsuya and Namiki-senpai, hoping that they could help him out. Unfortunately, they only gave him a helpless expression and went to Jinguji Temple obediently.
The senior's side.
On Yagami's side, Kentaro Matsuda is confronting Yagami in the batting area.
Among the nine pitches that Yagami has thrown, Matsuda-senpai has missed three of them, two of them are foul balls, two of them are left field hits, and two of them are center field hits.
This batting rate cannot be compared with other people's batting. It has to be said that as a catcher, Matsuda-senpai's ability to guess the ball is second only to Chris, and he has a certain ability to hit long balls, which makes him very familiar with people like Yagami Ya
As a pitcher, his batting average was no worse than Dong Qingguo's.
Yagami took out a baseball from the ball frame, rotated it a few times, held it, waved his arm, turned forward, concentrated his strength on his fingertips, and pushed the baseball out of his hand.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
However, just when Kentaro Matsuda's bat was about to hit the flying baseball, the baseball floated upward slightly, and then fell into the catcher's open sleeve, making a crisp sound.
Is there a fast ball with a certain amount of displacement? After Kentaro Matsuda stood up in the batter's box again, he raised his bat and waited for Yagami Ya to continue pitching.
"call out!"
Kentaro Matsuda saw Yagami's pitching action. If it were someone else, he might have thought it was another straight ball, but before that Yagami had already thrown three straight balls in a row, so the current ball should be a... changeup ball, right?
When the ball flying from the pitcher's mound was about to fly into the home plate area, the ball slowed down. It was a changeup ball just as he expected!
"Whoa!"
The bat that Kentaro Matsuda swung out hit the center of the baseball when it flew over.
"Ping!"
The baseball hit by the batter in the center of the ball flew out directly, hitting the outer barrier with a "Whoosh!" and making a loud noise.
home run!
Only then did Kentaro Matsuda exit the batting area with satisfaction, giving up his position to Hiroshi Ohta who was waiting nearby.
Yagami picked up the baseball from the hoop again, looked up at Ota-senpai who was in the upper part of the batting area, raised his legs, stepped forward, and swung his arms to throw the baseball in his hand.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
"nice shot!"
Ohta-senpai's swing couldn't keep up with the speed of the baseball thrown by Yagami Yagami.
The second ball thrown by Yagami Yagami in front of him, Ohta-senpai's swing still missed.
The first ball, the second ball, the third ball, the fourth ball... It wasn't until the fifth ball that Ohta-senpai touched the bottom of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and the baseball bounced high after being hit by him.
, was caught by the ball sleeve raised by Yagami Yagami.
The ball was hit by Ohta-senpai and flew towards the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!".
When Hiroshi Ohta faced the last ball thrown to him by Yagami Yagami, he still ended up missing the ball and had no choice but to exit the batting area.
Yagami moved his left hand, took out a new baseball from the ball frame, and looked at Yoda-senpai who was behind Ohta-senpai and was about to hit the ball. This chapter has been completed!
