The original intention of the diamond ace

"Very well!"

"Don't be nervous! Don't worry about casting!"

"Let him play it! We'll all catch it!"

"Okay! Then please everyone!" I turned around with a smile and waved my gloves at the seniors who were more nervous than me.

'What, he's not nervous at all! 'The seniors behind thought angrily.

"Be serious with me! Otherwise, I'll let you try my kicking skills later!" Senior Kuramochi threatened me while gesticulating.

Yes Yes!I turn my head.

"First goal!"

I carefully watched Miyuki's secret signal, the inside corner high ball that was close to the sideline, is it such a difficult ball when it comes up, it is really his style.

"Crack!" The ball flew over home plate, almost brushing the hitter, and Miyuki caught it.

"Bad ball!"

At this moment, the batter was in cold sweat, "Whoa - I thought I would be hit, but I didn't expect this first-year ball to be so fast, I didn't even have time to react just now!" lucky!Fortunately, it was a bad ball, let's take a look at the next ball. '

'It's a bit too much, isn't it in a good state, and it's a little troublesome to control the ball with all your strength, is it temporarily sealed?No, it will be even more troublesome if the opponent catches the ball. Yuxing looked at the batter, "Just now there was no sign of being good at all, so it's not easy to match this time." '

"Second ball!"

I'm still smiling on the mound looking at home plate, the bad ball in the middle of the outer corner.

'You have to let him swing the bat first, the temptation must be strong! Miyuki warned me, nodded, and I let out a breath.

Miyuki set up the glove, I raised my hand and took a step, throwing the ball.

"Bad ball!"

Miyuki frowned, "Shouldn't you swing the bat, the pitch just now was pretty good."Did you see it?Or do you have other plans?But there are already two bad balls, so we can't try any more. '

Now on the strike zone, the hitter thinks to himself: 'Is this pitcher out of shape?Wait for another ball to see how he is.It's only the first inning, and even if he can't hit the bases, he can still consume his ball count. '

"Third goal!"

'Here's the next ball!Even if he wants to play, he can't play well with your ball. '

I nodded and threw the ball.

"nice shot!"

'Isn't it better to swing the bat? Then I'll grab the ball without being polite. '

"Fourth ball!"

"Bang!"

"The outside world!"

'Have you swung again this time? It seems that you want to see more of the ball.In that case, strike him three times. '

It's a pity that after a few balls were not controlled well, the opponent successfully selected four bads to hit base.

Oops~ I didn't expect to be too happy to control the ball well. I didn't expect that I would be affected by my mood. I haven't felt this feeling for a long time, and I still miss it a bit.

However, I looked around.

"It's okay, it's okay! Let's deal with the next hitter!" "Let him fight!"......

Now is not the time to miss, you have to calm down quickly.

I picked up the powder bag on the ground, bent slightly, and bounced rhythmically, slowly calmed down, and returned to the previous state.Throw away the powder bag in his hand, blow off the excess powder in his hand, then turn his head and look at the home plate calmly. This second batter is not very tall, and his muscles are not strong enough. He is probably a skilled hitter.

'This first grader is unexpectedly calm, but what's going on with that look, are you looking down on me? 'The batter looked forward fiercely.

After the home plate, Miyuki raised his eyebrows, "It's a good expression to judge the hitter's thoughts."Come on, vote here! '

"First ball!"

I nodded and threw the ball smoothly.

"nice shot!"

After the batter misses the swing, he readjusts his posture, "Tsk, the change is bigger than what I saw from the sidelines." '

'Sure enough, I want to swing a bat! '

"Second ball!"

'Then give him a bad ball here and hang him. '

I nodded and threw the ball.

"Crack!" "Strike"

'The ball is almost exactly where I want it to be, is it back?Then there is no need to procrastinate any longer, let's throw this ball here! '

"The third ball!" "Bang!"'It's really heavy! 'He gritted his teeth and hit the ball hard.

Immediately afterwards, the second batman dropped his bat and ran to first base. 'Tsk, I didn't play well.But has the pitcher recovered? If the ball can still be thrown in a tricky position, it will be really difficult to play. '

"Snapped!"

"out!"

"safe!"

At this time, although the second bat was out, the first bat that started early successfully reached the second base.

Next comes the clearer.

Although it is a triple stick, it doesn't look like a very powerful type. Does it tend to be a skilled hitter, but does it have thin ankles and fast feet?

"First pitch!" I glanced over my shoulder to make sure the runner wasn't too far off the base, and threw the ball.

"Steal the base!"

Three bats also put out short bats at this time, and I immediately ran down the mound.

"Bang!"

The ball rolls between me and the first baseman, "I'm coming!"

"Pass to first base!" I quickly picked up the ball and passed it accurately to the chest of the front garden of first base.

"out!"

"safe!"

I went back to the mound, and I didn’t expect that the three bats would also be short. Although this kind of steady play is annoying, it is also really difficult to defend. Any careless hitter will hit base.

"Two out!" "Two out!" "Two out already, take your time!"

I turned around and made a gesture of two out to them.

After seeing it, Note said, "Oda doesn't look nervous in this situation, he's a little relieved." '

In the next hit, it was the fourth hit. Oh, this four hit was obviously different from the previous hitters, and it was obviously a power type.

"Oda, you also know that this hitter is different from the previous ones. He can't be suppressed by the power of the ball alone. Even if the hit is missed, he can sweep far away. 'Miyuki looked at me.

That being said, you are completely excited, I smiled at him.

"First ball!"

Miyuki made a signal, I froze for a moment, then nodded.

I used a glove to cover the hand holding the ball, and took a look at the third base. It was very good, not far from the base, and I was very confident in my four bats.That's true,

It's very stressful!

Stepping forward and swinging his arms, the ball flew towards the home plate quickly.

'This ball? !Still two stitches!But how come the speed is faster. 'The bat was desperately reaching forward, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. The falling ball avoided the bat and crashed into the glove.

After the swing failed, the batter turned around and knelt on one knee. 'Damn it, does his fastball still have a speed difference? I didn't have a ball before, but it was this on my first ball. I was completely cheated by this catcher. '

"nice shot!"

"Second ball!"

After I caught the ball, Miyuki made a quick signal, or did I throw it with all my strength?Although he was surprised in his heart, his face still had a calm look on his face.

My ball control is better than at the beginning, but this ball control is always up and down, you know it, Miyuki-senpai!

'ah!I know.It's okay, don't worry, vote for it, I will follow it all! ’ He hammered the glove of his left hand with his right hand, then opened his hands and put the glove on.

Does this mean that even if I explode, don't worry...

I lowered my head slightly, the shadow of my hat blocked my eyes, and the corners of my mouth curled up.Obviously there is a more secure way to deal with this batterer, but you still choose this method?As a catcher, is it really good to stimulate the pitcher's desire to win?

Now there is a runner on third base, you have to fulfill your promise, if I really accidentally hit a big shot, you have to block all the balls!You brat!

With my fingers, I threw the ball smoothly.

Oops, the vote was a little high.I was about to go down to make up for it, but I saw Miyuki reach out and catch the high ball. "Huh—" I exhaled softly.

"Bad ball!"

Miyuki looked at the four clubs who barely retracted the stick, and smiled slyly, "Do you want to hit such an obvious bad shot?"That's the next shot. '

I nodded and shot the ball.

'Changeup! '

The four-bat bat barely touched the ball, but it was a pity that he hit a ground ball towards the first base.The senior of Qianyuan stretched out his hand to grab it, and stepped on the base bag.

"Out!" "Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

I walked towards Miyuki-senpai, "Miyuki-senpai, you were really good just now! That ball was caught beautifully!"

He was surprised for a moment, and then showed a complicated expression.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I usually say this to pitchers, and it's the first time a pitcher said it to me. It feels weird."

"Really, did you offend others, and others don't want to tell you." I said indifferently.

"Why do you say such things so calmly, I'm a senior."

"Oh! It's the first time I played so calmly!" Suddenly, Kuramochi-senpai put my shoulders from behind.

Senior Tojo next to him also came over, "That's a good vote."

I smiled and replied to them: "Thank you! I will also ask my seniors in the future!"
