Practical teaching: Hikigaya’s strength-first classroom!

Exchange of offense and defense.

Hikigaya squatted in the catcher's area and observed the scene in front of him.

The entire baseball stadium has an unobstructed view.

After this period of training.

In Hikigaya's understanding.

Catchers need more than just an understanding of baseball and strength.

The most important thing is the ability to command the overall situation, the ability to read the opponent's psychology, and the ability to take care of the team members.

The first one was indeed Hirata Yosuke.

Class C was thinking the same thing as them.

Yosuke Hirata, who has faster feet, serves as the first batsman and can put a lot of pressure on the bases.

As the panel leader of the whole school.

All abilities are at the upper level, and performance should be very stable.

Trusted by everyone.

With Hirata's character, he would probably want to live up to the trust of others.

So.

Let’s test it out first.

Although not as good as Sudou, Sumida's ability is good and he is the type who is good at changing balls.

It’s just that the xinxing is relatively weak.

Don't like to take responsibility and are easily affected by the surrounding environment.

It's better to be more stable first.

Hikigaya made gestures.

One of the types of balls that Sumida is good at.

The middle.

A two-seam straight ball, also known as the sinker.

It will be slightly slower than the four-seam and will move toward the inside corner when entering the bases.

Sumida nodded, raised his left leg high, and waved his soft arm like a whip.

At this moment.

A strong gust of wind passed in front of him, Hirata swung the bat suddenly, and the ball entered Hikigaya's glove a second later.

"nice shot!"

128KM.

Hikigaya glanced at the panel and threw the ball back to Sumida.

Although it was not as fast as Sudou's ball speed of nearly 150KM, Sumida was in good condition today.

No problem.

However, Hirata swung the bat.

As expected, it was normal. I've seen Sudou's high-speed balls a lot, so I can see them clearly.

However, it's a pity that Sumida's balls are not as fast as Sudou's.

Based on this idea, Hikigaya started to match the ball.

The curve ball in the middle

"nice shot!"

This time.

Hirata couldn't even swing the bat.

Did he mistake it for a bad ball?

"Sorry."

Hikigaya threw the ball back, and at the same time whispered:"Our ace is not as strong as Sudou."

"How can it be. This is the first time I have seen such a curveball."

Hirata's expression was a little solemn, and he took a deep breath and took up his posture again.

Even if he didn't like it inside, he would still respond well.

Is this the first time?...

Hikigaya squatted on the ground with deep eyes.

Two good shots.

Do you want to make a bad ball to test Hirata's ability? no.

I was just hit three times.

Although Shibata and others didn't show much, the people in Sayo Ando's study group were obviously worried, so it was better to do their best to boost morale. inner angle.

Four-seam straight shot.

Boom.

A ray of white light flashed across, and Hirata leaned back and was unable to even swing the bat.

"nice shot!"

"Great, come on, Sumida-kun!"

Strike out.

Although the style is different, Sumida can also do it.

Hikigaya's mouth couldn't help but curl up. It can be done.

Miyake Akito, the second hitter in Class C.

Except for the last time, the two have never had contact with each other..

Akito Miyake seems to be much more stable than before, and his serious face gives people a sense of resoluteness.

He was struck out without even swinging the bat.

It just made Hikigaya feel like he was observing.

The third bat was Ken Sudou.

Waiting for the fourth baton was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Hikigaya was a little surprised. He originally thought that Sudou would be the ace, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka would be the fourth battalion.

It was Ayanokouji who showed his ability in training.

Are you ready to show your strength?

Regardless of whether this judgment is correct, it is absolutely impossible for Sudo to get on base here. Straight ball in the inside corner.

Sudo swings.

Carter ball in the middle.

Sudo swings.

Straight ball in the middle square.

Sudo swing

"The outside world..."

After two strikes, the number of foul balls remains unchanged.

What bothered Hikigaya was that this guy seemed to be very active in swinging the bat, swinging it no matter what the ball felt like.

Test it out.

Hikigaya's eyes were deep and his gloves were close to Sudou's.

Bad ball in the inside corner.

Only the area above home plate, between the batter's shoulders and legs, is considered a strike zone, and anywhere else is a bad pitch.

But if the batter swings the bat, it will be counted as a strike.

However. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Sumida shook his head hesitantly.

If he makes a mistake in controlling the ball, it will easily hit Sudou's body, so he is reluctant to shoot.

Hikigaya frowned.

There's no point in arguing with Sumida here, it's just a simple test.

Think of this.

Hikigaya still changed his focus and chose the outside corner, barely managing to hit the ball.

Straight ball.

Seeing this, Sumida nodded in agreement, raised his left leg and threw the baseball.

A swish sound.

Sudo swung the bat suddenly

"Good ball, the batter is out! Exchange offense and defense!"

Mashima's class teacher waved his fist and announced the end of the round.

"hateful."

Sudou walked off the stage with an ugly face.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hikigaya raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Although it was still difficult to be sure, there was a guess in his heart.

……

Second game.

Hikigaya stood in the strike zone.

At this time, 1 is out and one is on base.

It was Ichinose Honami who used the direct right to base, and Sumida was also struck out in the fourth bat. no way.

Sudo threw a 151KM super speed ball.

Sure enough, it was still too fast.

Even Sumida, a veteran, struggled to cope in the first game.

Looking at Sudou on the pitcher's mound, Hikigaya took a deep breath.

Anyway.

Let’s try the 150KM straight drive first.

I saw Sudo raising his left leg high and hiding the ball behind his glove.

There was a snap.

A crisp voice sounded from behind

"｀Huh?"

Hikigaya looked back with a face full of astonishment, and saw that the ball had firmly entered Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's gloves.

So that's it.

Is this a 150KM super straight ball?

When watching from the sidelines, I only felt that it was very fast, and then I realized that I couldn't react at all. Come on.

This guy is simply cheating.

Is this the speed that a human can hit?

He only saw a little bit of white light, not even a shadow (Nuo Hao Zhao).

This is still a hammer.

But.

I want to To win the game, we must first attack Sudo's high-speed ball.

Moriyama Takuya and Watanabe Norihito behind him have better hitting abilities.

Originally, it was planned that he would use a sacrifice bunt, and then Moriyama and others would continue the offensive..

Therefore, during this period of time,

Hikigaya only practiced hitting and never practiced batting at all.

But the current situation.

Even if he bunts, it is probably not possible to run to second base with Ichinose's speed.

Even Sumida can't do anything now, and Moriyama and others behind him are unlikely to be able to cope with Sudo's high-speed ball.

Think carefully about whether there are loopholes in this line.

There is no way.

There are not many people who are good at baseball.

Some Omissions are inevitable.

After hesitating for a moment,

Hikigaya decided to use it!

At least put some pressure on Sudou. Keeping people striking out like this is really demoralizing.
