Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 16: High-Value Home Run

"Bound ball?"

Danbo looked at the flying baseball and fell into deep thought.

Although it was just an out-of-bounds ball, it demonstrated Zhou Hui's terrifying strength.

Zhou Hui's muscles are not like those of Masuko Toru, who became famous on the court by relying on his tonnage, nor are they like those of Ryosuke, who is a skilled hitter.

He looks more like a hitter like Miyuki and Yuuki.

He has no skills and no weight advantage. He relies on pure strength and natural sense of the ball to gain a foothold on the court.

This is his foundation.

This kind of player is the most terrifying one!
Zhou Hui's muscles are all in large clumps, which is very different from players like Zeng Zi Toru.

His body fat percentage is also something that Miyuki and Yuki never have.

Perhaps after Zhou Hui joins the first team, the fourth baton position will have to be replaced.

This may be a very shocking scene from the perspective of the entire Qingdao High School.

In all the years of Qingdao High School's history, there has never been a freshman who could get the fourth bat position on the team.

Both now and in the past, Qingdao High School is a team that is better at offense than defense.

The more reckless their attacks, the more aggressive their defense becomes.

Of course, this is compared with famous schools.

If compared with ordinary public schools, Qingdao High School's defense can definitely be described as an "iron wall".

The lack of an ace pitcher has always been their biggest problem.

After Coach Kataoka graduated, Seidou High School seemed to have always lacked a real ace pitcher.

Coach Kataoka was once the ace pitcher of Seidou High School.

And he succeeded in becoming one in the autumn of his first year, and even led the team into the Koshien that year.

The more successful his playing career was, the more miserable his supervisory career was.

Even Sakaki Eijiro, the meritorious coach of Seidou High School, failed to solve this problem.

"It went astray, what a pity."

Zhou Hui muttered something, and it was obvious that he was still very upset and dissatisfied with his goal.

Zhou Hui can carry the ball so far just by brute force. Every hit he makes is really worthy of every muscle in his body.

Every swing is earned with sweat, and every swing is youth!

"So now, it's two strikes and one ball, right?"

Danbo raised his chin and looked around.

Danbo did have the advantage in terms of the number of goals, which was why he said this.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Hui was undoubtedly the one with a stronger sense of oppression.

The terrifying supernatural power has already frightened Danbo.

By saying that, Danbo undoubtedly wanted to boost his own prestige, but in reality he was already extremely panicked.

If this freshman kid hits a single, or even a home run, and it gets out, I'm afraid my teammates in the first team will laugh at me for the rest of my life.

Probably not.

By the time Zhou Hui joins the first team and demonstrates his strength to convince everyone, perhaps no one will laugh at Danbo anymore.

"This time, I will never let you leave with a smile."

As he spoke, Danbo changed his grip once again, switching to the one he was most familiar with.

Wrap-around grip!
It’s also a curveball grip!

Tamba's sense of the pitch has been extraordinary since he was a child. Although he was a substitute for Shinaka Kaname in junior high school, during the rookie test after joining Seidou High School, he showed abilities far superior to his peers.

In the test that year, Danbo was the best pitcher of that session!

Of course, it may also be a foil.

During the rookie test, standing next to Tamba was Jun Isashiki, the current starting center fielder for Seidou High School and the crazy hitter known as the "Golden Retriever."

At that time, his first choice was pitcher. Many of his classmates chose pitcher as their first choice, but few chose outfielder as their first choice.

Everyone likes a glamorous pitcher, and no one wants to be an unknown outfielder.

But in the end, there are always various reasons that force them to give up the pitcher position and become an outfielder.

That's what happened to Jun Isagi.

Jun Isashiki has great strength and a very fast pitch, but his ball control is unstable and the baseball always floats around.

This is why when he is next to Danbo, Danbo's baseball looks very stable.

All in all, both have shortcomings.

After Jun Isashiki transitioned to an outfielder, he found his position and became the undisputed starter of Seidou High School and a strong hitter.

Compared to him, Tamba's career is more imperfect.

Although he became the pitcher he wanted to be, injuries in his sophomore year and the lack of leadership qualities of an ace pitcher made it difficult for him to move forward.

“It has changed.”

Seeing Danbo's hands moving, Zhou Hui seemed to realize something.

Although it was blocked by the gloves, Zhou Hui had no way of determining what kind of ball it was, but it was definitely a changeup ball.

Any of Danbo's changeups are terrifying.

He is a pitcher with a strong sense of the ball, and his super wrist strength allows his changeup to reach a height that does not belong to him.

To put it more clearly, it can make the change range of the changing ball larger.

What’s even more amazing is that his best curveball will not fall out of the strike zone because of this.

This kind of ball makes pitchers envious and batters feel a headache.

Not everyone can become an ace pitcher at Seidou High School. You still need to have some real skills.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball came like a laser, and the moment it entered the strike zone, it fell down, but had not yet fallen out of the strike zone.

“Good ball control.”

While Zhou Hui was praising Danbo's ball control ability, he did not forget to swing the bat. He was also actively making movements with his hands and pulling down the bat on his right shoulder.

"But I'm sorry, Senior."

Zhou Hui muttered something, as if he was about to hit the ball away.

Zhou Hui's excellent dynamic vision allowed him to see the route and specific location of the ball. All he had to do was use his exaggerated strength to hit it away.

“This is the spot!”

Zhou Hui's pupils dilated and the bat in his hand fell.

"Qiang!"

A deafening sound was heard, and after hearing it, Danbo's face turned red with anger.

Perhaps what made Danbo grit his teeth was not the sound, but the sight of the flying baseball.

Zhou Hui can guarantee that the ball definitely hit the center of the ball.

The ball quality of a breaking ball is generally lighter, and it relies entirely on the change to prevent the batter from hitting the center of the ball.

Once the ball hits the center of the field and flies out, it is either a home run or a hit.

Zhou Hui used his terrifying strength to scoop up the baseball and pulled it towards center field.

“It flew out.”

Zhou Hui seemed to have seen the ending and said lightly.

Just as Zhou Hui said, the baseball fell behind the center field fence.

home run!
And it was obtained from the hands of an ace pitcher!

The gold content is extremely high!
"If I'm right, it's a home run."
