The Red Sea Sagara line, who is good at skillful playing.

It will not easily choose to attack in a hard-hitting way.

This is the deepest impression the world has of this Red Sea Sagara High School team, and it is also their overall performance in the Kanagawa regional competition of this summer tournament, and Seido High School obviously has this opinion, including Kataoka Supervisor and Hiromitsu Ochiai on the bench, Shigerno in the outfield, and Tanba and Chris as the starting shooting pair.

The first impression is at the moment of settling.

It is easy to have a gap where the other party takes the lead.

This is also the Red Sea Grand Sagara High School.

Or rather, the scene that Superintendent Koizumi wants to see.

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of the Red Sea Daisagara High School, the first baseman, Fushimi-kun."

Storm the inside corner!

Cover with an outside attack as appropriate.

Supervisor Koizumi, who was in front of the bench, gently touched his left arm, and then nodded his left chest, the so-called curveball, finger fork ball or something, in the first two or three games, are all kinds of balls that can be completely abandoned, with equal risk and benefit.

This is the Red Sea Daisagara High School.

In this game, the biggest adventure made.

“playball！！”

So!

When the words of the presiding judge fell.

At home plate, Chris made a gesture code, set the ball cover, and just raised his right arm in the air, the cold light flickered.

"Whew!"

The shadow of the ball that came in.

"Whew!!"

As long as it is in the case of an inside corner kick path determined.

Strike zone.

The pioneer of the Red Sea Daisagara High School stepped out very decisively and swung his arms as hard as he could.

A metal bat that dances rapidly.

As you cut a sharp arc through the air.

"Pong!!"

The sharpness of the first strike.

"Huh!?"

"Whoosh"

At the moment when the ball flew upside down.

Chris at home plate and Danbo on the pitcher's mound had a noticeable change in face.

"Bang"

"Shortstop!?"

Extremely sharp blows, excessively swift ejection trajectories.

Kurachi's reaction was only half a beat slower, and he couldn't keep up with the refraction speed of the ball.

"Whoosh"

Shuttle past the shadow of the ball.

"Snap"

It landed quickly on the lawn in front of the center-left outfielder.

"Dada"

"Oh oh oh oh!?"

"Safe Base"

When Shigeru arrived and was about to pick up the ball, the Red Sea Sagara batter, Fushimi Akiji, had already successfully stepped on the first base.

"First goal! The inside corner is a straight ball, the hitter, Fushimi, a very decisive step, an extremely sharp angle, successfully captured the trajectory of the inside corner straight ball, crossed the middle of second and third base, and hit a perfect left field front hit, and successfully climbed the first base bag!! ”

"Haha, nice job, Fushimi."

"Yo Si! First of all, the first one. ”

"Yes, yes, just keep it that pace."

"Sagara! Sagara! Sagara! ”

It seems that there is no pause at all, hesitation, and the general blow is scheduled in advance.

Not to mention Chris's seniors at home plate.

Even Shigero, who was in the field, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful look flowed from his pupils.

"These guys seem to be prepared!!"

It's a clear assault.

It's completely visible that there is no room for attack.

"Second bat, left fielder, Sakurajima-kun"

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

The runner is not too far off base.

Chris's predecessor was able to keenly sense a hint of danger from it.

The sense of smell that a top catcher should have.

So that Chris's predecessors can clearly grasp the faint intention of the Red Sea Daisagara.

However, Chris seniors do not plan to change the current distribution strategy, the most important thing is to ensure the condition of their own pitchers, which is the top priority, one or two hits, or even being pushed into the base, it is not a big problem, as long as they are not given the opportunity to score easily.

"The height should be lowered, the ball should be widened, it doesn't matter, the pitching itself is not bad, just pay attention and let the tail strength come out."

Senior Chris spread his hands at home plate and looked at Koichiro Tanba on the pitcher's mound with a calm gaze.

"Hmm"

Tanba took a deep breath and nodded sideways.

“playball！！”

Falling loud words.

Tanba raised his arms again.

Condense the ball light at this moment.

At first glance.

Quickly scurry into home plate.

A ball near a low position.

"Straight ball!?"

Sakurajima, the Red Sea second batter in the strike zone, suddenly dilated his pupils.

The center of gravity of the body pressed down in front of the side, accompanied by the twisting waist, suddenly shook his arms.

"Huh"

A metal bat swinging rapidly.

Upper-side.

"Pong!!"

A violent crash sounded.

A slightly lower blow.

"Huh"

The shadow of the ball flying backwards backwards.

"Bang"

Ferocious, it slammed into the wire barricade behind home plate.

With that vigorous and crisp sound.

"Bad ball!!"

In the benches on both sides, Supervisor Kataoka and Supervisor Koizumi both showed different expressions.

"Did you really aim for an inside corner? Or is it simply aiming for a straight ball? ”

It was another strong attack for the first goal.

At home base, Chris's senior eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flowed, and such a thought quickly appeared in his mind.

"If it's aiming for an inside corner, then!"

In the next moment.

Gently gesture out of the code.

"The second ball, a little bit off, or a straight ball in the inside corner, Danbo."

Prudent matching, delicate guidance.

A completely different way of guiding than Miyuki.

Guide the pitcher in the gentlest way that best suits the pitcher.

It may not be possible to really stimulate the instinct of the pitcher and stimulate his deepest potential and explosiveness like Miyuki.

However, Chris's catcher style.

Yes, it is possible to inherit most pitchers.

Let almost all pitchers pitch in the most comfortable way.

At least.

In this case.

Squatting in front of him was Chris.

It will make the Tamba on the pitcher's mound very comfortable to pitch.

"Second ball!"

Raised left leg, soaring arm.

The direction in which the gaze is aiming.

That suddenly swayed figure.

"Huh"

The shadow of the ball flew out of the shining.

Emerge in front of you.

A sudden roar.

A low arc.

In the strike zone, Sakurajima quickly caught the trajectory of the incoming ball, and the arms that were swinging subconsciously.

"Huh"

Fleeting shadows.

Overlap at a low position.

"Pong!!"

"Oops!"

A blow that deviates completely, and the center of the ball that is not captured at all.

Sakurajima's face in the strike zone changed.

However, at this time, there was no room for Sakurajima to change the attack posture, and the power that could only be released with all his strength was aimed at the ball shadow that was pulled out in the more tricky direction on the right.

"Huh"

"Bang!"

The moment of slamming the ground.

Sakurajima, as well as Fushimi near first base, started at the same time.

"Dadada!"

"Tamba! Don't force it, pass the first base! ”

At home plate, Chris Senpai immediately stood up and shouted at Koichiro Tanba, who ran down the pitcher's mound.
