Chapter 186 Unpredictable

Chapter 186 Unpredictable
"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Zhou Hui started with a straight ball that flew straight over without any fancy moves.

The speed is about 140km/h.

This is quite good for a freshman, and Zhou Hui's primary position is still first baseman, and he has no experience as a pitcher.

"It turns out this kid's ball speed is so fast!"

Zeng ZiToru suddenly realized how powerful Zhou Hui was.

It turned out that when he was doing special training, he was still conserving his strength.

I just showed off my changeup, but I didn't expect the speed of the ball to be that high.

"Can a fielder be that fast?"

Minister Ota scratched his head and looked at Zhou Hui's ball speed with disbelief.

Chris tidied his long hair and began to analyze.

"Zhou Hui's strong hitting ability proves that his strength is definitely not low. What's more, Zhou Hui is a power hitter, not a skill hitter. When he was an outfielder, we also noticed that his arm strength was not bad at all. He has the potential to become a good pitcher, but..."

"Just what?"

“I just didn’t expect his ball control to be so good.”

Director Kataoka nodded, as if to acknowledge Chris' words.

"Indeed, he has always had a very good control over the baseball. It can be seen from the fact that he can hit the catcher's glove accurately when throwing back from the outfield to home plate over dozens of meters."

"So he's just a pitcher with this much speed, nothing more than that."

Yukichi threw the ball back, wondering in his heart whether this kid could do it.

Such a ball speed cannot suppress Yokohama Kohoku.

With a runner on third base, it is possible to lose a run, but it is more likely to lose more than one run.

"With this kind of ball speed, we can't suppress them. What on earth was Kataoka thinking when he brought him in?"

Before Yukichi could finish his thought, Zhou Hui raised his legs and swung his arms again.

"Whoosh!"

He pulled away and another ball went in.

Arima held the bat, looked at the baseball approaching, and swung without hesitation.

The baseball made a clever change before hitting the bat and slanted to the left, and neither the baseball nor the bat touched each other.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“Is this a second seam?”

They do look similar at first glance, but that's because Arima didn't see the whole picture.

Just now, after the first change, the baseball fell downwards again.

It's not a simple two-line seam.

"Supervisor... that ball just now..."

Yamaguchi was so scared that he couldn't organize his words and spoke incoherently.

Scared!

The supervisor of Yokohama Kohoku did not dare to take over.

He also saw the ball clearly.

Taking advantage of the wind, it "flies" freely in the batter's swing area like a butterfly.

Just looking at it makes people intoxicated.

“I still have this skill.”

Yukichi smiled. Now he finally understood why Zhou Hui reminded him just now.

His ball is really not something that an ordinary catcher can catch.

According to incomplete statistics, the ball that catchers miss the most is the butterfly ball.

The butterfly ball will fly irregularly, which is beyond the control of the pitcher, so it really tests the catcher's reaction ability.

Maybe once the baseball is at hand, a new round of changes will take place.

But Miyuki is no ordinary catcher.

West Tokyo's top catcher is still not afraid in this regard.

Arima has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and still thinks that the ball just now was an ordinary two-seam.

"Whoosh!"

For the next ball, Zhou Hui moved away and shot again.

A white laser rushed towards Miyuki's gloves.

If you have a bird's eye view, you can clearly see that Zhou Hui's grip has not changed at all, it is still the butterfly ball grip.

"Bang!" The baseball passed through numerous obstacles and fell into Yuki's glove.

Miyuki opened and closed his glove, and the baseball was in his pocket.

"Good ball! Batter out!"

The first out was taken by Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui's butterfly ball is unpredictable. Without any real skills, it is really impossible to touch it.

The straight ball in the first ball was just a test of sprinkling water, but the butterfly ball was the main theme of his game.

After the game, Arima couldn't understand how he could be so versatile when he was just a fielder.

The evolution from first baseman to left fielder is just fine.

After all, the outfield defensive area is relatively simple.

It can be seen from daily training that the training intensity and volume of infielders are higher than those of outfielders.

"Outfielder, first baseman, second baseman, pitcher, is there anything this kid can't do?"

To be honest, Arima was envious.

If it were him.

It’s okay to let him defend second base and third base, after all, they are both infield positions and the defense is similar.

The outfield can also make do.

When it comes to the pitcher position, it is no longer something he can control.

He doesn't even know the most basic pitching posture.

"Fourth batter, catcher, Takeda-san."

"He has a lot of change-up shots, so you have to be careful when you go up there."

Arima gave a reminder.

"A lot? Don't be ridiculous. He only has that one kind of ball from beginning to end, okay?"

Takeda sneered and walked to the batter's box.

"A kind of ball?"

Arima panicked.

One out and third base occupied.

"Butterfly ball, right? Let me see your butterfly ball!"

Zhou Hui seemed to have heard Takeda's thoughts and grasped the entire baseball with the butterfly ball gesture.

Butterfly ball is indeed a very physically demanding sport, but Zhou Hui only pitched this one game, so he didn't need to worry about physical strength at all.

Just invest when you need to.

"Whoosh!"

"It's still a butterfly ball after all."

After seeing the flying baseballs, Takeda verified his idea.

Or butterfly ball.

The baseball was flying in the air and it was impossible to tell its trajectory.

"Qiang!"

Even if Takeda swung the bat with all his strength, he only hit the edge of the baseball. It can only be said that he touched the baseball, but it cannot be said that he hit the baseball out.

Anyone with coordinated limbs would be able to handle such a blow.

The baseball bounced right in front of Masuko Toru.

"Snapped!"

Yuki caught the baseball with his arms swung wide.

"Out!"

The force of Masuko Toru's pass was very strong, and it also expressed their desire to win.

After this game, they will be one of the top four teams in the country.

There's only one out left!

They are just one elimination away from reaching the national top four!

"I never thought that Zhou Hui has such a strong talent for pitching."

Old man Xin Tian was watching with great interest in the audience and couldn't help but praise Zhou Hui.

How great it would be if Zhou Hui was his disciple!
"Fifth batter, second baseman, Fukuzawa-san."
