"I really want to try to hit Yagami's pitching." Kenta Maezono saw Yagami, the main pitcher, standing on the pitching position as a feeder. While running, he would turn his head to take a look from time to time.
"...There are very few balls that are hit by batters." As a pitcher, Kawakami Kenshi was even more surprised when Senior Yagami's pitching faced Aomichi's own batting line. Except for the seniors with Higashi-senpai as the core,
He rarely gets knocked out by others; watching the seniors' game in the stands today, he has a very strong impression of Qingdao's line play. He always feels that if he is allowed to play, he will probably be beaten by the seniors in the first round.
Blinded.
As catchers, Kazuya Miyuki and Naoya Kuraza were thinking, if they were to catch the ball, how many batters would they be able to strike out?
It is quite rare for a pitcher like Mr. Yagami to have his own ideas and a pretty good idea of distributing the ball. Many pitchers either completely let the catcher handle the ball, or they use the catcher as a catching tool and follow their own preferences.
Pitch.
Miyukiichi also thought while running: During the game, when the opinions of the pitcher and the catcher conflict, I wonder what Mr. Yagami will do? He is really curious.
…
It has been two weeks since the first-year students joined the club, and most of the second- and third-year students already know that there is a new student named Miyuki Kazuya among the first-year students who has offended most of his classmates.
Unlike Kazuya Miyuki's bad personality, he has great abilities as a catcher.
Just like Takigawa Chris Yu in the previous class, Miyukiichi also showed that he was far superior to other students in the same grade from the beginning. Among the first-year students, only Naoya Kuraza's strength is almost the same as him.
This also makes people jump with anger at him, but at the same time, they have to admit that what he said is basically right.
"That guy and Zangza will probably be promoted to the First Army under supervision soon." Isashiki Jun said suddenly on the way back to the dormitory after finishing the training.
The second-year students who returned to the dormitory with him all turned to look at Isashiki Jun.
"Although I am unhappy with his bad character, he is indeed very strong. Even Chris praised his unique ball matching." Jun Isashiki put his hands in his trouser pockets and said unhappily.
Although Isashiki Jun didn't name him, everyone else knew who he was talking about. Intellectually, they all knew that the other person was indeed excellent, but emotionally, they would still mind if their juniors entered the First Army before them.
"Speaking of which, is the previous news true?" Keisuke Miyauchi, who had just been transferred to the Second Army by Supervisor Kataoka, asked Koichiro Tanba next to him, "The Supervisor wants to hold a competition between old and new students in the near future?"
"It seems that the third-year seniors guessed after overhearing the minister and supervisor saying, "It's too early to start a competition between new and old students now." The competition between new and old students may not start in the near future." Koichiro Tanba whispered.
He said that last year's competition between old and new students was still fresh in his memory, and that poor performance now makes him feel embarrassed when he thinks about it.
"There will still be a competition, and it is estimated that it will not start until after the spring Tokyo High School Field Football Tournament ends." Kusunoki Fumiya said in an uncertain tone: "There are still three games left in the spring Tokyo High School Field Ball Tournament, and it should be at the latest
At the beginning of May, right?”
"Takano is not an easy sport. We have to give them a lesson when the time comes." Ryosuke Kominato said with a smile as always.
"I don't know how Chris's injury is recovering. Recently, he left after school in the afternoon."
I don’t know if Chris will play in the upcoming competition between old and new students? Koichiro Tanba couldn’t help but think about this.
"You should be fine soon. When you have time recently, haven't you been helping Yagami practice new ball types?" Keisuke Miyauchi crossed the fingers of his hands and put them behind his head, and said hesitantly, "You said Chris is here?
Can you return to Yijun in Xia Tian?"
Several people walking together became silent about this.
Although due to injury, Chris was transferred to the second army under the supervision of Kataoka, he has never played in the second army. More often, he directly directs the games of the second army as a mentor instead of the coach.
This also allows the sophomores who are also in the second army to feel the gap between them more clearly. While trying to catch up, they also hope that Chris can recover as soon as possible and return to the first army.
"Let's go practice swinging after dinner." Ichiro Sakai, who rarely spoke, said: "Yuki and Iori are already ahead of us, we can't be left behind by them all the time!"
Everyone who made the decision had dinner, took a shower, and left the dormitory with their bats.
When passing by the indoor training hall, Sakai Ichiro looked inside. Most of the members of the First Army were practicing inside, some doing gravity training, and some keeping swinging the bat. The third-year Jinguji senior and
Senior Sakai was doing pitching practice in the innermost pitching area.
Yagami was not in the training hall, and he probably went to the outdoor bullpen to practice new pitches. I don’t know when I can ask Yagami to feed them balls again? I really want to pitch Yagami again.
When Ichiro Sakai walked to the open space behind the dormitory, as expected, there were already many people practicing their swings here. Seeing this, Ichiro Sakai quickly found an open space and started practicing his own swing after warming up.
…
The tense atmosphere in the second and third grade naturally affects the first-year students. They look at the second- and third-year seniors who practice extra on their own after the daily fixed training. Many of them also start to learn from the second- and third-year seniors and do extra training.
practice.
April 22nd, the afternoon of the quarterfinals of the Spring Tokyo High School Fieldball Tournament between Teito and Aomichi.
"They work really hard." Takashima Rei stood in the office on the second floor, looking at the increasing number of students in the open space outside, pushing up his glasses and smiling.
Director Kataoka crossed his hands on his chest and was also looking at the students who were practicing on his own in the open space. He didn't know what he was thinking and did not respond to Takashima Rei's words.
After Qingdao defeated Teito 5:4 today, there are still two final games left before the end of the Spring Tokyo Field Football Conference. Qingdao will face Daocheng Industrial in the semi-finals on April 29th. If they win, they will win.
In the finals on April 30th, we faced our last old rival City Junior...
In the past few years, Aomichi has always lost more than he won against these three baseball powerhouses in Tokyo. Especially in last year's summer trial, because of his encounter with the city's juniors, Aomichi directly stopped in the quarterfinals.
As a result, more and more people feel that Qingdao is in decline.
If Seido hadn't won the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference last autumn and then reached the top four of Koshien in the spring, the enrollment situation this year would have been even worse, and it would have been impossible to usher in a bumper harvest. This chapter has been completed!
