Chapter 47: Losing a hit at the beginning (2nd Update)

Watari Akutsu stood on the strike zone, which gave a peculiar feeling.

He's not the kind of opponent who can be easily dealt with. It's not like Thunder City, which exudes a dangerous aura all over its body, giving people a feeling that it is not easy to mess with.

The feeling of facing him is like facing a rigid machine.

It's cold and boring......

With rich competition experience, Sawamura has a clearer understanding of his opponents.

The opponent in front of me is probably a hundred times more difficult than everyone imagined.

"He's strong!"

It's just a sawamura instinct, a very dangerous instinct.

At this time, Chris, who was in the catcher position, did not feel this way. In his opinion, Watariyakutsu is really not a difficult opponent.

Judging from the information obtained by Seido High School before, Akutsu is indeed a very powerful hitter, often winning hits, but it is not the type that Sawamura can't deal with.

In particular, Chris has extraordinary confidence in Sawamura, and he thinks that although Akutsu is good, he may be too tender to play Sawamura's ball.

If it's the third round or the fourth round, you still need to be careful at that time.

After all, at that time, Sawamura's pitching was inevitably reduced in terms of ball speed.

And the opponent has also become accustomed to Sawamura's pitching.

At this time, the Catcher's ball distribution is extremely important, and Chris must be cautious.

Like now that the game has just begun, it will be difficult for the opponent to adapt to Sawamura's pitch, let alone play Sawamura's pitch accurately.

It is a very happy thing to match Sawamura with balls, and any change ball of Sawamura has extraordinary power when used for the first time.

It's easy to get a good number of goals, or even to get out.

Without much thought, Chris gave Sawamura a code.

First Ball: Speed Ball!

This ball seems to be a casual match, but with Chris's ability, even if it is his casual matching, there is a lot of thinking in it.

First of all, the first point, Sawamura's previous first and second bats to solve Xibang High School were all strikeout opponents, and there was no speed ball in the strikeout.

Until now, Sawamura has not thrown a single speed ball, and suddenly a speed ball is thrown, which will definitely catch the hitter off guard.

Not to mention, was this the first goal between the two sides?

In the face of Sawamura's pitching with no point in sight, it is generally difficult for the hitter to swing the bat on the first ball.

This is even decided subjectively by those who cannot be beaten.

Even if he wanted to play, he didn't know how to swing his bat in the face of a sudden pitch.

All things considered, the probability that the opponent will not swing the bat on the first ball is very high!

Even if the opponent chooses the ball to play, it is impossible to choose the speed ball on the first ball. This aspect involves psychology and will not be explained.

And if Sawamura's first pitch is successful, this impression will be directly imprinted in the minds of the hitters at Xibang High School.

This will definitely disrupt the beater, the next swing.

Even if he didn't deliberately match the ball, Chris casually made a shot, and he dug a lot of holes for Yakutsu, a hitter from Xibang High School.

Seeing Master Chris's matching, Sawamura on the pitcher's mound couldn't help but smile.

Master Chris, is very handsome.

It's just a little bad for the enemy......

"Whoosh!"

A small white ball, whizzing out.

Akutsu, who was in the strike zone, did not swing the bat on the first ball.

The white ball slowly fell into Chris's open glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

At this moment, the entire Koshien fell into a brief silence.

After a full second or two, a spectator in the audience opened his mouth in surprise and said incredulously.

"Oh my God, the first pitch was a speedball!"

Variable speed balls are often used in straight balls, mostly to disrupt the player's swing.

It's rare for someone like Sawamura to boldly use a speedball on the first ball.

If the opponent is the kind of batter who can wait for the ball to enter the hand before swinging the bat, even if they have not aimed at the speed ball before, they can swing the baton at this time.

As the so-called art master is bold, why Sawamura dares to throw a speed ball on the first ball, is because Sawamura's ability is high.

"Worthy of the Great Demon King!"

For Sawamura's bold pitching, the audience in the stands is still very recognized, and even many professionals in the baseball industry are full of praise for Sawamura's pitching.

The vast majority of people at the scene believed that Sawamura would be able to solve the hitter very smoothly, and even win the strikeout.

They would think so, and rightly so.

After all, the Great Demon King of Sawamura has a well-known start. As long as Sawamura pitches at the beginning of the game, ninety percent of the first game is three strikeouts.

This can also be regarded as a sign of the Great Demon King.

There should be no surprises today.

Everyone thought so, and the unexpected happened.

The second ball that appeared in Sawamura's throw!

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball was thrown out of Sawamura's hand like a laser.

The ball was very sharp and angled into the inside corner.

Akutsu, who didn't swing the baton at all in the first ball, did not relentless in the face of the ball thrown by Sawamura Eijun.

He was very decisive and swung his bat into the inside corner.

What the?

In the position of the catcher, Chris had a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

He glanced at Akutsu in the striking zone in disbelief, and didn't understand why Akutsu would see through his matching?

It's just that the situation on the scene is changing so quickly, but it doesn't give him much time to think.

"Ping!"

Sawamura's shot into the inside corner was swept away.

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura's face also changed.

Before this ball was hit, Sawamura did not have any vigilance or premonition in his heart.

In his original thinking, he thought that this goal should be able to win a good goal.

But it backfired, and the white ball was hit hard.

"Shortstop!"

Sawamura hurriedly beckoned Kuramori.

The white baseball was clearly over the line of third base and pitcher. Now one can only pin hope on the shortstops.

"Hip hop!"

Like a running cheetah, he ran non-stop to the landing point of the baseball, and then failed to stop the rebounding baseball by a fraction of a minute, and watched the white baseball hit the ground a meter in front of him and bounced into the outfield.

"Through!"

"Holder!"

Playing a beautiful hit, Akutsu swept himself to second base like a gust of wind.

Two out, someone on second base!

The next beater, it was the turn of the fourth batter of Saiho High School, Sano Shuzo.

At this moment, in the stands of Koshien with tens of thousands of spectators, there was silence.

They are still trying to digest the situation in front of them.

Incredible, incredible!

The big devil who started off to a solid game actually lost a hit in the first game?
