The baseball was thrown by Yagami Yagami and flew in front of the batter in an instant with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Whoa!"
Dong Qingguo did not hesitate and directly swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously, sweeping out an afterimage in the home plate area.
"Bang!"
The baseball speeding over home plate avoided Higashi Kiyokuni's swing at a faster speed and penetrated into Kentaro Matsuda's open cover.
"Come again!"
Dong Qingguo waved the metal bat in his hand and stood up again.
Yagami caught the baseball that Matsuda-senpai passed back to him, looked at the signal that Matsuda-senpai gave him, nodded, waved his arm, and threw the baseball out of his palm.
"call out!"
Dong Qingguo looked at the baseball coming from the pitcher's mound again and vigorously swung the bat in his hand.
"Whoa!"
Higashi Kiyokuni's swing of the bat was a little slower, passing by the baseball rushing from the pitcher's mound, allowing it to rush into the open ball sleeve of Kentaro Matsuda.
Matsuda-senpai stood up, took out the baseball from his holster and threw it back to Yagami Yogo, then squatted down again and showed him his signal.
Yagami looked at the code signal given by Senior Matsuda, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. Following the code given to him by Senior Matsuda, he threw the baseball out of his palm.
"call out!"
As soon as the baseball was thrown by Yagami Yagami, Tokiyokuni immediately waved the bat in his hand, sweeping out an afterimage with a cracking sound at home plate.
"Whoa!"
However, the baseball flew over a beat later, and it wasn't until Dong Qingguo swung it in the air that it slid into Matsuda's sleeve.
Changeup ball?
No, it's still a fast straight ball.
Dong Qingguo realized that it was because he swung the bat first in order to hit Yagami's pitch.
"Okay, it's my turn to hit." Tojima Kotaro came forward with the bat and pushed Higashi Kiyokuni. After pushing him away, he stood in the batting area and made preparations to hit.
"call out!"
Kotaro Tojima also immediately chose to swing the metal bat in his hand. However, the baseball, which changed its diagonal direction significantly, successfully avoided the metal bat swung by Kotaro Tojima and entered the open ball cover of Kentaro Matsuda.
.
Curveball?
Kotaro Tojima waved the bat in his hand and stood up again.
There were no surprises. Kotaro Tojima, like Higashi Kiyokuni before him, missed three times in his swing and then left the batting area.
After Yagami struck out six seniors including Higashi Kiyokuni, Kotaro Tojima, Hiroshi Ohta, Takashi Fujii, Taro Fukuda, and Yuki Tanaka, it was Murasuke's turn to step into the batting box.
Murasuke Daiki moved his shoulders, waved the bat in his hand, then raised the bat in his hand and looked at Yagami Yagami standing on the pitcher's box.
He is also a very difficult hitter to deal with. If Yagami's pitch is not careful, Murasuke will hit him out.
While Kentaro Matsuda was thinking, he gave Yagami a secret signal and asked him for a speed ball first.
After two games, Murasuke's batting average was even higher than Azuma's.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that other teams pay more attention to Azuma and ignore Murasuke, but this is enough to prove how difficult a hitter Murasuke is to deal with.
"call out!"
Watching the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, Murasuke Daiki actively swung the bat in his hand for the first time.
"Whoa!"
The metal bat swung at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. However, it was not until the bat swung over home plate that the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew into the home plate area and was hit by Kentaro Matsuda's ball.
Set capture.
"Bang!"
On the second pitch, Kentaro Matsuda asked Yagami for a high-speed sinker (sinking fast ball).
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
After missing two consecutive swings, Murasuke Daiki swung the bat in his hand, then raised the bat in his hand, preparing to hit.
After Kentaro Matsuda spent some time thinking about the next pitch, he gave a signal to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's box and straightened the ball cover.
Want him to throw a quick straight ball on the next pitch?
Yagami Yagami was a little surprised, although using fast straight balls to decide the outcome with the batter is the method favored by most Japanese pitchers.
Yagami hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the instructions given to him by Matsuda-senpai and threw a fast straight ball. He stepped forward with his right foot, twisted his waist and abdomen, tilted his body's center of gravity forward, and swung his left hand down to lift the ball in his palm.
Baseball pitch.
"call out!"
Murasuke Daiki vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand, once again creating an afterimage above home plate.
"Whoa!"
However, this time, Murasuke-senpai was a little slow in choosing the timing of his swing. The baseball that was flying rapidly from the pitcher's box flew past the home plate and fell into the open pocket of the catcher Matsuda-senpai.
"Boom!"
Matsuda-senpai didn't catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's box, and the baseball rolled out of his sleeve. He could only quickly stretch out his right hand and grab the baseball that landed on the ground.
The ball thrown by Yagami Yagami was not only heavy in quality, but also very fast.
Unfortunately, there is no speedometer here. Kentaro Matsuda suspected that the speed of the ball thrown by Yagami should be very close, even reaching 150km/h.
"Another strikeout!"
Everyone in Qingdao gathered around the pitching area to watch the pitching practice of Yagami Yagami and a group of second-year seniors. When Murasuke Daiki was also struck out by Yagami Yam, the others suddenly realized that all seven starting seats had been given.
Iori Yagami has finished striking out.
"I want to hit too!" Namiki on the bench took the lead in trotting to the batting area with his bat, practicing pitching with Yagami. Others also lined up with their own bats, ready to hit the field.
…
"Ping!"
After striking out three quasi-third-grade hitters including Namiki, Ita, and Fujisawa again, Yagami's pitch was first knocked out by Yuki Tetsuya, and then by Masuko Tohru.
Iori Yagami looked at the baseball flying backwards, then turned to look at Masuko Tohru, who was standing in the batter's box, looking in the direction of the baseball flying in a daze, and couldn't help but admire, "He is indeed a powerful heavy hitter!"
"Well done Masuko."
"Finally hit Yagami's ball!"
"Woo, woo! Boo!!" Toru Masuko, who was no longer in a daze and came back to his senses, cheered and excitedly grabbed the bat and left the batting area.
"These baseball idiots are really giving me a headache. They make me look like a villain." Yagami was speechless at these baseball idiots. He and Matsuda-senpai, who had been pitching all the time, were the most tired among everyone!
…
After the practice, everyone in Qingdao left the borrowed playground one after another and returned to the B&B.
Tetsuya Yuuki, Keisuke Miyauchi, and the others who were in the second grade to be in the second grade gathered together and talked about the wonderful strike between Tohru Masuko and Yagami Yagami just now.
"Facing the fast straight ball thrown by Yagami, Masuko, you hit it really accurately!" Keisuke Miyauchi patted Masuko Tohru on the shoulder and said.
Unlike Yuuki Tetsuya, even if he encounters the fast straight ball thrown by Yagami Yagami, he does not have enough power to hit the ball; Masuko Toru, as a powerful heavy artillery strike, as long as the bat in his hand can hit the flying baseball, he will be hit instantly.
You can't run away if you fight for a long time...
"I didn't go up to hit the ball today, I can definitely hit your ball!" Isashiki Jun shouted to Yagami Yagami.
"I will definitely fight it out next time!" Yuuki Tetsuya on the side said to Iori Yagami in the same tone. This chapter has been completed!
