Chapter 25: Pitching (2-in-1)(2/3)
Take the last practice game they played as an example. In that game, the Yakushi High School baseball team won.
But they didn't score many points.
From this, it is not difficult to see how much impact Sawamura Eijun's quirk ball had on them?
Now two months later.
Sawamura Eijun's real ball speed has increased, and his ball speed actually reached 133 kilometers.
As a first-year player, this ball speed is already very dazzling.
If he hadn't happened to be on the same team as Akatsuki Furitani, Sawamura Eijun's pitching speed would have received more attention.
Not only that, he also learned a new pitching posture.
Cover your pitching arm with your glove and body.
Sawamura Eijun is born with a soft body, so when he waves his arms, he does not swing them straight like other people.
But like a whip.
As a result, his throwing arm is harder to see than others.
After learning a new pitching posture, Sawamura Eijun became even more powerful.
"Within two months, I was promoted to two levels!"
The ball speed has increased and I have completely mastered the new pitching posture.
You know, Sawamura Eijun was already quite difficult to deal with before.
When the Yakushima High School baseball team played a practice game against them, they played relatively passively.
nowadays.
This pitcher, who was already very difficult for them, suddenly improved so much.
"You have to be treated well!"
When Sawamura threw the second ball, Li Lei took a decisive step forward.
The bat in his hand also swung.
It seems that Li Lei is very decisive.
However, he was still a step slow.
Before Li Lei's bat was swung out, the white baseball reached Miyuki's glove first.
"Snapped!"
"Two good goals, zero bad goals!"
Li Lei's face looked a little confused.
He put in so much effort, but he didn't expect that the final result would be like this?
Not to mention getting a hit, he didn't even touch the ball.
"Don't be in a hurry, the timing of your swing is wrong!"
Li Lei secretly warned himself.
The more critical this situation is, the more he must keep a cool head.
As long as he can guess the opponent's match, he still has a certain probability of hitting the ball.
The first two goals are
According to Kazuya Miyuki's ball-matching habits, he probably doesn't want Eijun Sawamura to waste good shots at this time.
Then what he is aiming for is the inner corner!
"Whoosh!"
White baseball, inserted straight into the inner corner.
In fact, Li Lei thought too much.
At this time, Sawamura Eijun had no way to accurately throw the ball to the outside corner.
He hasn't learned yet!
The positions he can shoot are in the center and inside corner.
It is very dangerous to throw the ball in the center.
Therefore, most of Sawamura's pitches are actually aimed at the inside corner of the strike zone.
Li Lei guessed correctly.
And this time, he also readjusted his hitting rhythm.
Just right!
"Ping!"
He guessed the inside corner correctly and the hitting rhythm was just right.
He should have been able to secure a hit.
But what is very amazing is that after the bat hit the baseball, the baseball flew high.
"Quirk ball?"
"Second base!"
In fact, there is no need for Miyuki Kazuya to remind him.
At this time, Kominato Ryosuke was already waiting for the baseball to land.
He effortlessly caught the ball in his glove.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
With two outs and no one on base.
"The fifth bat, pitcher, Shunpei Sanada."
At this moment, Sanada Junpei stepped into the strike zone.
Before he stepped into the strike zone, he and Li Lei went head-to-head.
"There is no place to put the ball in sight at all."
The Seido High School baseball team's offensive power is getting stronger and stronger, and now they have replaced such a powerful pitcher.
Even if the Yakushima High School baseball team leads by one point.
The players on the Yakushima High School baseball team dare not say that they have the advantage now.
"I see!"
Although he was mentally prepared, when Sanada Junpei stood in the strike zone and watched Sawamura pitch.
There was still a wry smile on his face.
"Really, you can't see it at all!"
Because the ball release point cannot be seen, there is no time to prepare for the buffer.
For the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team, or for all the hitters who compete against Sawamura Eijun.
They all feel that Sawamura Eijun's ball speed is much faster than his real ball speed.
It's almost 10 kilometers away.
That is to say.
Don't look at Sawamura's real ball speed, which is only a little over 130 kilometers.
But if you look at it from the strike zone, his ball speed is almost 140 kilometers.
Not only is the ball fast, but the ball also has weird changes.
Akatsuki Fukitani's pitching is strong, but it's just that it's obvious.
Of course, it can increase the speed of the ball to 150 kilometers.
It is natural to have such an effect.
Sawamura Eijun's pitching is different. From the outside, it's hard to tell.
You can only really feel it by standing on the strike zone.
Only then can you feel how terrible this guy's pitching is?
Just like Junpei Sanada now.
His little face turned pale.
He knew very well that this round of core hitting was over if the Yakashi High School baseball team had no performance.
