baseball boy

Chapter 9 The Ace's Potential

Ryoma put on his helmet and walked towards the playing table.

Spectators outside the arena chatted a lot,

"Someone left in the middle of the game, and some decided to play on their own. This year's first grade really has everyone."

"By the way, does that blond boy look familiar?"

"Now that you said that, I remembered, didn't this kid just hit a home run against Ace Zhenzhong when he was against the city's junior high school?"

"Ah! It's this kid. This kid is still a bit interesting. By the way, why didn't he play earlier just now?"

.........

.........

"Hey, you guy, don't make decisions on your own."

Really, this guy is getting more and more interesting, but I don't know how much effect Ah Xian's ball can have on him.Miyuki chuckled, and sat on the ground with his body tilted, watching Ryoma walk towards the mat.

"Eijun, listen up, I will definitely send you back to home base." Liang Zhen shouted at Zhurong, and in the end he got Zhurong's starry eyes.

Ryoma swung the bat on the spot, relaxed his arms, raised his eyes and saw Director Kataoka's noncommittal expression, and secretly smiled.

The second-year catcher was taken aback when he saw this kid... He exchanged a glance with Kawakami on the pitcher's mound. This guy is not an ordinary first-year guy, and he must not be taken lightly. I don't know what ball he is aiming at, but This guy once hit a home run on a ball in the outside corner, and in that case.....go here, ahhhhhhh.

Kawakami looked at the location where the gloves were placed, and shook his head, if not, he would be hit.

"What's the situation, the shooting partner has been unable to decide on the code for a long time."

"Is this guy so embarrassing?"

Then it will be a decisive battle. Kawakami signaled to the catcher that I will not lose to the first grader.

Come on, O Xian, use your best ball to deal with this brat.

Kenshi Kawakami, a low-shouldered side-shooter, is characterized by excellent ball-handling ability, but he is introverted and shy, and often serves as a backup pitcher. This should be a closer existence in the major leagues. Unfortunately, his pitching lacks momentum. Ryo has never hit him. I'm not sure if I'm going to hit the ball with one hit, so let's observe the first ball first.

"Whoosh---"

"boom---"

"nice shot."

The first ball is a curve ball similar to a slider, also called a slider. The speed and range of change of the ball are between the slider and the curve.Ryoma didn't swing, watching the ball fly into the catcher's mitt.

No swing?Yeah, Xian's ball worked?The catcher glanced up at the expressionless Ryoma, and made a signal, and the next one was a tricky inside corner.

Like a white arrow, it rushed towards the hitter's chest at high speed, made a tricky turn, and got into the catcher's glove.

"nice shot."

"What's the matter, the number of balls is two strikes, is it going to be struck out?"

"I thought it was something to watch, but it seems that yesterday's home run was an accident, and a first grader is still a first grader after all."

Such a tricky seat didn't move at all, and even his feet didn't tremble. The second-year catcher was a little shaken.Now the number of balls is 2, and there are no bad balls. The next ball will solve him, so shoot here ah Xian.

Kawakami squeezed the brim of his hat, wiped his sweat, bent down, pinched the chalk bag on the ground, held the small white ball, lowered his shoulders, and the baseball flew towards Ryoma.

"pong"

There was a gust of wind at the moment of swinging the bat, and the trajectory of the small white ball passed towards the outfield and landed in front of the running right fielder.

The moment Eijun swung his bat at Ryoma, he had already started running, heading towards third base.

"Fast Pass Home Plate -----"

Ryoma quickly slides to second base.

"safe"

And Eijun rushed to the home plate, twisting his wrist, arms, and waist abruptly, avoiding the catcher's touch and touching the home plate.

"safe"

The opponent's catcher was a little sluggish, and even started running when he swung the bat. Don't you worry about missing a hit at all?And if you can twist your body like this in an instant, avoiding my touch and kill, are you not afraid of getting hurt at all?Cold sweat dripped down the catcher's cheeks.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the first grade rest area suddenly rose.

"These two guys actually did it," Kanemaru blushed excitedly, recalling how unpromising he was just now, and almost giving up the game, his expression twisted a bit.

"Wow, this kid is not bad."

"It's been a long time since I've seen a first-year runner like this."

"This kid is really energetic."

..........

..........

Kawakami, the pitcher mound, turned pale and embarrassed, and his fingers holding the baseball trembled.

"Nice, run Eijun."

"Oh, the first one appeared running!"

Haruichi Kominato's compliment caused two red clouds to appear on the excited Zhurong's face.

Facing Ryoma at second base, Minato first touched his chest, then his ears, and finally squeezed the brim of his hat.

Liang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then he figured it out. Xiao Mina pinched the brim of his hat immediately in order to confuse the opponent's arresting partner.

"What, this is the code, when was it decided?"

"It's a wooden bat."

"Short in stature, it seems that he is not good at long hitting."

"If you hold the bat short, you probably won't be able to hit the outside corner."

The catcher looked at the pink-haired kid who came up, and hummed inwardly. The only hitter to be on alert was the one just now, with such a short grip, how could he hit an outside corner kick? Ah Xian calmed down and threw an outside corner kick first.

"Pong" at the moment when the ball flew, Xiao Minato changed the grip of the bat, swung with all his strength, and the ball was swept away.

"It's a double."

Liang Zhen quickly returned to home plate, and Kawakami's figure was crumbling on the mound.

This guy has absolutely no ace potential.

Ran over, checked Zhu Rong, "Turn your wrist to see." Zhu Rong was a little puzzled, but did as he did, "Twist your waist again and let me see."

It seems that there is no problem, no injury, frowning and looking at the innocent big eyes in front of him with a serious expression, "Don't be reckless next time, after all, you are a pitcher, you were almost tagged just now, twisted your body like this, in case you get injured What should I do? Fortunately, your joints are very soft."

"Look, we are no longer 0 points now. As long as we keep this momentum, we will definitely be able to reverse it." Eijun laughed a few times, with a happy expression, grinning his white teeth, "How could Xiao Zhen get hurt? Even if I'm injured, I'll run back to home plate, so I can't live up to your expectations. "

Liang Zhen lowered his eyes, making it hard to see his expression, "Don't be like this next time, getting hurt is no joke, do you want to miss the next game because of your injury? There is no second game in high school baseball. second chance."

The smile on Eijun's lips faltered, and he nodded.

At the same time, Supervisor Kataoka, who wanted to end this unilaterally looted game, was shaken by Eijun's baserunning and Ryoma and Haruichi's swings. The other first-year students also showed the spirit of not admitting defeat. , hoping to continue the competition, so the red and white competition between the first grade and the second and third grades is still going on.

"Little devil, you'll be the pitcher for this inning," Director Kataoka shouted at Eijun, "Hurry up to the mound." Don't look at Chu Rong with a silly smile, pointing at Ryoma and said again, "And you, you come right fielder."

Eijun was stunned, as if he was knocked out by the pie that fell from the sky.

"Not bad, Eijun-kun." Kominato Haruichi smiled shyly.

Liang Zhen glanced at the mound in the middle, and patted Churong's shoulder, "Shoot well, and we'll leave the fielding to us." It's great, standing on that mound, I really want to pitch.

Miyuki, who was sitting on the ground beside him, looked at Akira Fuguya who was carrying his things and was about to leave the arena, and showed a smirk, "Don't you want to continue watching the game? Monster, maybe something interesting will happen. It was Sawamura who cheered up the grades, and it was natural to get a chance to pitch, and the supervisor is not completely a devil."

Jiang Gu hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, and the rough and dissatisfied voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

Jun Isashiki, who had a mustache on his chin, shouted in dissatisfaction, "What is this? What's going on with the score against the first grader?" The veins on his forehead seemed to burst out, "I didn't get 200 points."

Kuramochi laughed gloatingly, "Jun-san, 200 points is impossible."

Kominato Ryosuke, although smiling, but what he said can make people freeze to death, "It's really useless to play such an embarrassing game."

"Asshole, change, I want to play." Kuramochi yelled helplessly while hugging Isashiki who was about to run over with all his strength, "Jun-san, no, you just finished weight training."

Team Zhe looked at Ei Chun on the mound, and said calmly, "Look at it quietly, Jun, that man is the man who struck out your most respected Dong-senpai."

"What, is this guy!?"

The game was still going on, and the first-year catcher and all the fielders stood on the mound, "Hey, what pitch will you throw? You can boast about that, and you won't lose the chain when the time comes."

"Hahahahaha, don't worry, I will not evade, I will shoot the straight ball in the center, and then I will leave the defense to everyone." Eijun pointed his thumb at himself and said proudly.

Everyone: What? ? ? …(⊙_⊙;)…

"Is this guy an idiot?"

"Speaking so loudly, throwing all the straight balls in the center, you underestimate us, huh!"

Liang really couldn't hold his forehead: that idiot.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhurong solved the two with only 2 goals.Everyone felt that this guy was really lucky.

Soon it was the third batter's turn, Masuko Toru who shared the dorm with Eijun.

Masuko Toru did not swing the first ball, let go of the white ball, and flew directly to the catcher's glove, but Eijun's weird ball suddenly turned when it reached the glove, and it leaked out of the glove, Masuko Toru was keen I feel it.

So he shortened the bat and was eager to try the second ball, Sawamura-chan, I will definitely return to the first army again.

"It's a quirky ball that changes trajectory when it hits the hitter's hand," Zhe team folded his arms and pointed out calmly. "It seems that Masuko Toru also noticed it, so he shortened the bat."

"Sorry, please pause for a moment." Liang Zhen ran from the outfield and signaled to the referee.

"Time" Director Kataoka raised the mask on his head.

The guards around were a little curious when they saw Liangzhen running from the outfield, and even Eijun stared at him with wide eyes.

"Xiaozhen, are you doing it for me?" Zhurong smiled exaggeratedly, "Hahahaha, don't worry, it's absolutely fine, just wait and see me, senior, who strikes three times."

"Hey, bastard, the first grade is still so arrogant, didn't you take us seriously?" Jun Isashiki shouted from the sidelines, "Let go of me, I'm going to go up and hit that kid's ball No."

Kuramochi kept pulling Jun Isashiki with a helpless expression.

Strikeout?It is too simple to think.Although it is a weird ball that is difficult for people to catch the trajectory, it is not difficult for a hitter who swings with all his strength like Masuko-senpai.Miyuki also laughed softly, and then looked up at Ryoma who was standing on the mound and talking softly with Eijun. This brat seemed to see that the idiot's eccentric ball might not work for Masuko-senpai. what?

"Eijun, listen to me," Ryoma put his arm on Zuei's shoulder, and covered his lips with a glove, "The catcher on the other side is not Miyuki-senpai, and the hitter is not Dong-senpai who took you lightly." He looked at Zhu Rong with some doubts in his eyes, "If your ball floats too high, it is easy to be caught in the center of the ball and hit the fence, that is a home run."

Eijun raised his eyes to look at the tall and strong Masuko Toru standing on the mat, and nodded, "Then Xiaozhen, what should I do so that the ball doesn't float too high?"

Liang Zhen smiled slightly, "Did you see the home plate?" He touched Churong's hat, "Just smash it parallel to the home plate, come on, I believe you can do it." With the big glove of the fielder Patted him on the back and ran back toward the outfield.

[Don't worry about shooting, I can catch all balls except home runs] Eijun recalled what Ryoma said in his ear just now, and his heart was filled with passion, and he must not let down the trust of his companions. Eyes shone blindingly.Eijun looked up at the batter and catcher's mitts in front of him, and a flame ignited in his heart.Come to think of it... the feeling at that time, the moment when I entered Miyuki-senpai's glove, the moment when I struck out at the East Ching Kingdom, it was a feeling of passion.

Grabbing the ball with five fingers, the shoulders stretched to the limit, and because of the good flexibility of the young man's joints, the whole arm was quickly thrown over like a long whip, and in the eyes of everyone, it was like a white ball gathering countless light sources and flew towards the home plate at high speed. go.

"pong"

Masuko waved hard.

Accompanied by the clear sound of hitting, the ball was hit, and Eijun was startled, and hurriedly looked towards the ball in the sky.

The ball flew to the outfield and landed on the ground with a "bang". At this time, a fast figure flashed past, picked up the baseball on the ground, flew forward, and threw it to the home plate.

Masuko Toru, who had already reached third base, was startled, and rushed towards the home plate with all his strength.

A phantom like a white arrow quickly passed him and rushed to the home plate.

"Snapped---"

The catcher accurately caught the flying white ball and threw it at Toru Masuko with his glove.

"out"

Director Kataoka's majestic voice sounded, but a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes covered by sunglasses.

Masuko looked back to the outfield in disbelief.

The stadium fell silent.

"Wow, that's amazing, what was that just now? I just saw a flash of white light, and the batter was out."

"That wild arm is too strong. The distance must be more than 150m. He can shoot so far, and it is very accurate."

"I don't have any information on that wild hand. It looks like he is of mixed race." As a reporter, Akiko Owada rummaged through the information in his hand, but found nothing.

"There is such a freshman in Seido High School this year, who is perfect in offense and defense. It seems that I have to re-evaluate this year's summer competition." The reporter of the monthly "Baseball Kingdom" Fujio Mine couldn't help but say.

...........

...........

Everyone was shocked by Liang Zhen's move, Miyuki was also taken aback, and then laughed, "This year's Qingdao is really interesting, two monsters come at once, hahaha."

The seniors in the second and third grades looked at the man standing in the outfield in disbelief.

Jiang Gu's palms gradually clenched, his eyes stared straight at Liang Zhen, and blue flames seemed to ignite all over his body.

.........

.........

It wasn't until the eighth inning that Eijun dropped a point.

"For the last inning, Sato, you'll be the pitcher." Kataoka poker-faced, pointing at Ryoma with a solemn expression.
