It's like a fragrance with a pungent smell of each other.

From the first inning, the two third-grade pitchers who competed with each other, for their own last summer competition, no one was willing to let themselves leave regrets and painful memories, especially Tanba Koichiro, who once longed for the trump card back, and wanted to chase the footsteps, which was destined to be the biggest regret of Tanba Koichiro's high school career, but he also knew very well that his own junior was the one who led his team into Koshien, and even set the core existence of the best record of dominating the country, which is its own team.

And what he can do is not to show any unseemly performance in front of this junior.

"Myself, but a senior!"

Predecessor!

You have to look like a senior!!

"In the first half of the sixth inning, Sagara High School's attack, the third bat, shortstop, Ishikawa-kun."

Synchronization faced with the clearance sequence.

In this game, the defensive rhythm of the two teams, the offensive rhythm of the two teams, are infinitely close to the same frequency, and in this sixth inning, at this juncture on the verge of the second half of the matchup, both pitchers will each usher in the third round of the opponent's clearance sequence.

“playball！！”

"The finger ball is completely abandoned, and you should be familiar with the trajectory of the curveball, from this inning, from this round, completely aim at the pitcher's most proud deciding ball to shoot!"

In front of the first bench.

This is the on-the-spot united front command given to his players by the head coach of Red Sea Daisagara High School and Superintendent Koizumi before the debut.

The second half of the showdown.

There is still a gap of one point.

This third round.

It's Sagara High School that wants to equalize the situation anyway.

If Seido High School still takes the lead here, then what awaits them Sagara High School will be the most difficult situation, because they have to take into account that Seido High School is likely to send an ace to the end in the next few games, and at that time, if they can't reverse the score, this game, their Red Sea Sagara High School's winning rate will be further compressed.

Sagara High School wants to do so before that.

Take control of the game back into your own hands.

However.

In front of Koichiro Tanba, who is also in a bad state.

Such a goal has become extremely difficult.

The guidance of Chris's seniors, who gave full play to Tamba's pitching style and advantages, and his ball-matching ability, made it difficult for Sagara High School to control Tanba's pitching rhythm and trajectory.

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Pong!!"

Even if it's in the third round of the home run-hitter sequence.

The pitching content presented by Tanba is still so wonderful and excellent.

"Bang"

"Out of bounds!!"

Ishikawa Nobunaga, who was the third batter, was looking for the timing of the curved ball when he was biting the trajectory of the straight ball.

This should have been the right choice.

But the premise is that either you can be 100% sure that the next ball is definitely a curved ball, or Tanba has a slight deviation in his own possession.

It's not that it's a mistake, it's that you can't really make a precise shot to the spot where the catcher is placed.

Sagara High School is likely to find a chance to bombard out, or a flaw.

"Damn! Is this guy able to shoot every ball so accurately!? ”

Pressed again, Ishikawa Nobunaga, who had no choice but to bombard the throw-in, vigorously waved his metal bat in the strike zone, and his face showed a very ugly expression.

The number of balls is two good and one bad.

It's only four goals, and it's a scene of being chased again.

This made Ishikawa Nobunaga feel extremely uncomfortable.

Many of the spectators in the stands were slightly surprised.

"Miscalculated, at this pace, it will be very difficult to get consecutive hits from this pitcher...

In front of the first-base bench, Superintendent Koizumi couldn't help frowning as he watched his third batter being cornered again, and thought secretly in his heart.

Pitchers are also human.

As long as it is a human being, then there must be a difference between good and bad states.

Sometimes, it doesn't mean that you have 100% strength, you will definitely be able to exert 100% strength, or it is limited to that 100% strength.

Many times, human beings will always affect their performance because of their own internal subjective factors or external objective factors.

For pitchers, the most direct thing is to control the ball.

The most obvious thing about the quality of his form is his ability to control the ball.

Generally speaking, for high school students, even the best ball control of the group of pitchers, want to accurately throw to the position of their catcher ball set, the success rate is about six or seven out of ten (there is no shot here, only refers to a slight deviation, the inside corner is still the inside corner, the outside corner is still the outside corner, the height is the same, just to say that there is no 100% fine control). Not to mention the perverts like Yang Sunsin and Mukai Sun, it is not a very surprising thing that it is comparable to the ball control ability of professional pitchers, ten out of ten.

And even pitchers like Shigeru and Narimiya, even because their pitching standards are too high, their ball control ability, sometimes, is more unstable than that of slightly inferior pitchers, and Shigeru Ye must take the initiative to restrain his strength in some moments when he is not in good shape, so as to be able to control the ball intact.

The best ball control ability in the Seido team is Kenshi Kawakami, second only to Yang Sunsin's existing ball-control pitcher, and in the position set by the catcher, he does not shoot more than eight times out of ten, which is considered Kawakami's bad state.

And Koichiro Tanba's ability to control the ball has obviously not reached this point.

But! Today's explosive state.

Let Tanba Koichiro's ball control, not to mention mistakes.

It's really above, and it's exactly where Chris is placed.

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Oops!"

The arc that comes in closely, and the white line that comes in at the upper side position.

"Smack"

"Good shot, hitter out!!"

If the pitcher is able to respond perfectly to the catcher's expectations and requests.

This will make the trapper's guidance much more handy.

"Oooo Cast beautifully, Tamba senior. ”

"Hahaha, Koichiro, that's what you want to do."

"Qingdao, Qingdao, Qingdao."

"There are still two outs, take them down in one go, Tanba!!"

It's not just the general audience, the Ochiai Hiromitsu in the third base bench rarely showed a look of surprise, Tanba Koichiro, who was originally a relatively good substitute pitcher in the eyes of this military master, and now he can grow to this point, to be honest, it is really beyond Ochiai Hiromitsu's imagination.

After all, it was once in the eyes of Hiromitsu Ochiai.

Koichiro Tanba as a pitcher.

The biggest flaw is that there is a lack of equipment that a pitcher should have.

And today's Koichiro Tanba.

But it has made up for its own shortcomings greatly.

Even Ochiai Hiromitsu was thinking in his heart, if it was at this time last year, Tanba Koichiro, who was still in the second grade at the time, had the strength he has today, and the trump card back number, it is really impossible to say who it belongs to, after all, in the eyes of Ochiai Hiromitsu, it seems that the Kataoka supervisor, who always maintains his sanity and coldness, is actually a very humane supervisor, in the case of similar strength, whether the trump card back number is for the first year freshman, or for the second grade, the player who is about to be the third grade, in Kataoka Supervisor is really a bad thing.
