Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 131 Don't treat a relief pitcher as a pitcher
"Top of the first inning, Baoming High School is on offense, the first batter, first baseman, is Ohkawa-san."

"Dahe, hit it hard! Don't come back if you can't hit it!"

The supervisor of Baoming High School was obviously very angry and even started talking nonsense.

He could really say that he couldn't come back without a hit.

The opponent is Seidou High School, and the responsibility of the first batter is not to get a hit.

There's something wrong with this kind of talk.

"You can't come back without a hit? That sounds really funny!"

Yukichi shook his head helplessly.

Baoming High School is able to enter Koshien despite such a supervisor. It really has some talent.

The personality of the supervisor of Baoming High School is really a bit like Hong Lei Zang.

Listening to his supervisor's words, Dahe also felt pressured.

But Kawakami on the pitcher's mound had a nonchalant expression on his face.

Or rather, he's used to it.

He has a very low-key personality and doesn't look like he would be a pitcher.

Being looked down upon is also a common occurrence.

He had long been accustomed to it.

"kick off!"

The referee raised his right hand, and the first match of Qingdao High School Koshien officially began!
"This is our first ball in Koshien, low outside corner, come on!"

Yuki patted his gloves, then passed them over and typed out a secret signal.

The first ball should take advantage of Kawakami's advantage.

"Whoosh!"

Kawakami turned sideways and swung the ball, and the white ball flew out of his hand.

"Side shot?"

Side projection is indeed quite rare in Kyushu.

Their balls come sideways, which makes the batters feel faster.

Taiga couldn't hit the first pitch steadily. He could only watch the baseball enter Miyuki's glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"It doesn't matter. I wasn't planning on swinging at the first pitch anyway."

Dahe comforted himself.

In fact, he was at a loss when faced with this ball and had no idea how to swing it at all.

"In good shape, the ball was well controlled and high in the inside corner."

Yukichi changed his position.

The outer corners are low and the inner corners are high.

Diagonal throw!

This pitch looks very familiar.

Yang Shunchen's ultimate move was secretly learned by Yuki!
"Whoosh!"

Another side throw and the baseball flew out.

"Awesome!"

With the baseball right next to him, Taiga couldn't help but swing at it any longer.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

In fact, Kawakami’s pitch wasn’t that fast, it’s just that Ohkami had never seen a side-thrower before.

In the eyes of hitters who have never seen a sideways pitcher, their pitching speeds are all top-to-top.

I can only blame myself for being so ignorant.

This is the reason why people have long hair but short knowledge.

During the freshman match at Seidou High School, the students suffered a lot because of Kawakami's shots.

Two good balls!

He was only one away from a strikeout.

"I've always thought Kawakami was good, and my judgment turned out to be correct. He got into the game really quickly, and he scored two good balls in such a short time."

Minister Ota, who has always recommended Kawakami, can finally hold his head high.

His vision is not bad at all!

"Good job. For the last ball, let's use the slider to decide the outcome."

"What will be the last ball? Where will it be? Can I hit it?"

Daha became more and more panicked.

He really didn't expect that Kawakami, who was a relief pitcher for Seidou High School, would have such strong strength after becoming a starting pitcher.

The supervisor of Baoming High School also felt incredible.

"It's really not easy to be a pitcher in a top team."

"Whoosh!"

The ball path was the same as a straight ball, and the position was basically in the middle. Taiga breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a good ball to hit.

"brush!"

Just as he swung the bat confidently, the baseball suddenly slid towards his lower right corner.

"Snapped!"

Miyuki opened his glove and caught the baseball.

Taiga's swing missed!

"Are we going to use a breakaway to decide the outcome at this time? The people from West Tokyo really know how to play!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"call."

Kawakami breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the ball changed and I got the strikeout.

"Well done, Xian!"

Kawakami enjoyed Miyuki's praise without saying a word.

He is still too introverted. I suggest he spend more time with Sawamura and learn his shameless spirit.

"Second batter, center fielder, Oyama-san."

Mr. Oyama is a thin batter. He is nearly 190 cm tall and weighs only about 55 kg.

Typical Spider-Man body shape.

"He's so tall and he's not a pitcher?"

After seeing Xiaoshan's height, Ryosuke was full of envy.

What on earth did he grow up eating?

We are all high school students, and he is a sophomore, so why is he so much taller than me?

"Come on, high inside corner, throw it to him!"

One strikeout is enough to boost confidence. Now all Miyuki needs to do is activate the fielders!
Not handling the ball for too long may not be a good thing for them.

"Whoosh!"

"So easy to beat?"

"Qiang!"

Xiaoshan thought it was a mistake between the pitcher and the catcher, and the ball was fed to his hand, but he didn't expect the ball to be so heavy!
Kawakami's ball power cannot be seen with the naked eye.

"Shortstop!"

"Hee ha, just leave the ball to me."

Kuramochi's agile figure rushed out and caught the baseball.

"Snapped!"

The baseball was passed to first base, and Zhou Hui's movements in catching the ball were already a little unfamiliar.

It’s been so long since I was a first baseman, and this ball almost fell.

"Out!"

But if the result is good, the process is not that important.

"You little brat, I thought you couldn't catch it?"

Kuramochi was also startled.

This was his first time working with Zhou Hui, and he didn’t know many of Zhou Hui’s habits yet.

"Third batter, catcher, Hatta-san."

Here comes the center batting line of Baoming High School!

At this time, Qingdao High School has to start getting serious.

As for the center hitting line of Baoming High School, Chris had already talked to the players before the game started.

It will be immediately clear whether they have understood or not.

Especially Miyuki and Kawakami.

They were directly facing the center batting line of Baoming High School, and it was obvious at a glance whether they understood the situation or not.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strike! Batter is out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

With the help of Miyuki's pitch, Kawakami got his second strikeout of the game and made the batters of Baoming High School run around in circles.

Miyuki saw through the thoughts of the Baoming High School batter at a glance.

Their little tricks might be okay in Kyushu, but compared with the elites across the country, they are not that good.

Kawakami’s fight was really satisfying!
When most people saw that he was the starter of the game, they looked down on him.

I don't know how a relief pitcher can be qualified for this position.

Now they know that Kawakami has this kind of strength!

Don’t be a relief pitcher, don’t be a pitcher!
