Chapter 75: Forkball - Unlock!

Smash it out!

Thank you!!!

No one can understand how Todoroki Raichi linked these two sentences together.

His thought process is indeed different from that of ordinary people, so let's not delve into it.

Nevertheless, his fighting spirit is very high.

'I want to hit Sawamura's Winning Shot!'

The will of wanting to hit Sawamura's prized Straight Fastball has been written all over his face.

Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, took a deep look at Todoroki Raichi.

As far as Sawamura's pitching is concerned, he can suppress most of the batters at Yakushi High School with his sharp pitching, except for Todoroki Raichi.

'If Todoroki Raichi guesses what Sawamura is going to throw next, he has a high probability of hitting it out of the park.'

'Just like what happened previously with Tanpa-senpai!'

In the final ball at that time, if Tanpa could suppress Raichi, the situation would definitely not be what it is now, and Seidou would have beaten Yakushi High School to tears!

If he chooses the right ball, and he still can't hit the ball, the damage to the batter and the team of batters will definitely double.

Likewise, once the batter hits the pitcher's most prized Winning Shot, the damage to the pitcher will be huge!

After the showdown with Raichi, why did Tanpa's state go wrong?

It's very simple because Raichi destroyed the confidence that Tanpa had cultivated during this time. That's why he was chased by Yakushi High School.

The same is true now!

Simply speaking of the difficulty of the Breaking ball, Sawamura's Straight Fastball is not necessarily that much harder to hit than Tanpa's Forkball. When Todoroki Raichi is aiming at the Straight Fastball and swinging the bat, it is very risky to use the Straight Fastball against him.

Of course, this is just an analysis from the point of view of Game calling. In real games, it is impossible to completely follow the plan of ​​Game calling.

It also depends on the will of the pitcher himself!

The batter challenges the pitcher to hit the Winning Shot, and the pitcher solves him with the Winning Shot.

This temptation is very difficult for any pitcher to resist.

Sawamura is also a pitcher, and he is a very confident pitcher. He must have such a plan in his mind, right?

'No!'

Sawamura told Miyuki the answer with his own eyes.

'It doesn't matter what you throw, it's the goal that matters.'

As long as he can solve Raichi, he can pitch even ordinary Straight balls and extremely risky Change-ups.

'Excellent!'

The pitcher's simple and direct attitude undoubtedly made Miyuki very happy and relieved. He nodded and decisively gave Sawamura a sign.

The first ball: the Forkball!

On the first pitch again!

This is also one of Miyuki's habits. Now, in the mind of Todoroki Raichi, all of Sawamura's pitches must have been simulated. It's not easy to Strike Raichi Out, who is already mentally prepared for Strikeouts.

'Right now, we might as well expand the database of Raichi.'

When Sawamura's fishing ball was only a Straight Fastball, of course, Raichi could aim at the Straight Fastball, and after chasing, all the other balls flew out of bounds.

This is absolutely impossible for ordinary players. However, it was not difficult for Todoroki Raichi.

Because his swing is fast enough, he can wait until the ball is in his hand before swinging. As long as the range of the swing is not too large, he can of course hit the ball out.

'If you want to solve this guy neatly and turn the momentum over in one move, using a new Breaking ball is a must.'

Bring it on!

'Throw that ball here.'

Miyuki conveyed his will to Sawamura. Of course, Sawamura will not let down his partner's expectations.

'Come on then!'

The right leg was raised high, and then like a battle axe, it slashed down.

With this strong momentum, Sawamura's center of gravity moved, and his left hand threw the white ball in his hand fiercely.

Whoosh!

The white ball, like a laser beam, rushed to the top of the home plate.

On the strike zone, Raichi's eyes never left Sawamura's form when throwing the ball.

'Here comes the ball!'

Look at the path and speed of the ball, this is not the Straight Fastball.

"That's not it!"

With a judgment in his mind, Raichi will hit the ball out of bounds.

He didn't intend to watch it go, and watching it would make him fall behind. He had to rely on a tough swing, forcing Sawamura to use a Straight Fastball to decide the victory.

Although the momentum is now on Yakushi's side, in terms of scores, Yakushi is still behind.

10:7, Yakushi is three points behind.

There is simply no way to reverse the situation by relying on Raichi alone.

If Yakushi High School wants to win, the best way is for Todoroki Raichi to completely defeat Sawamura from here.

Hit his Winning Shot!

Otherwise, the situation of Yakushi High School will still not change.

Although Raichi can't think of it, but he has a reliable father. Todoroki Raizou thought of it, and warned Todoroki Raichi, to be sure to hit Sawamura's pitch.

Only by Smashing it out, Yakushi will have a chance.

Because of this, Raichi couldn't escape, and could only force Sawamura to fight him with a Straight Fastball.

BUZZ!!

The bat swung out, and the white ball whizzed. On the first time he swung the bat, Raichi caught up with the rhythm of the bat, but just as the bat was about to hit the white ball, the white ball suddenly sank!

'What?'

Such a break caught Raichi off guard. He had never known that Sawamura could throw the Forkball or the Curveball before.

The bat flew over the white ball, and the white ball plunged into Miyuki's Mitt.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

At this moment, the audience was silent, and the referee's voice was particularly loud.

After a few seconds, the audience who understood what was going on after the commentary, reacted.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

"Sawamura!"

"Sawamura!!!"

"Demon King!"

In the dugout of ​​Yakushi High School, Everyone's faces changed, and their faces became heavy.

Todoroki Raizou also turned pale.

"How far is this little bastard going to evolve?"

Straight ball, Moving ball, Change-up, Cutter ball…

Other than the Breaking balls that are close to the Straight ball, Sawamura also has the Straight Fastball and a Breaking ball like the Split-finger ball!

Two Winning Shots!

When the opponent has two Winning Shots, and you try to force the pitcher, it will be difficult to hit the Winning Shot.

Even if he pitches, you have to guess which one.

"This is bad!"

Todoroki Raizou's face became complicated.

Thanks to him preparing a big surprise for Sawamura before, it has become extremely difficult to fully use it now.

The newly-appeared Breaking ball almost completely disrupted the plan of Todoroki Raizou.

On the field Raichi looked at Sawamura with excited eyes, he raised his bat and laughed.

"Kehahahaha, Kehahahaha!"

'Amazing!'

'He just won't stop evolving!'

'I want to hit it!'

'I want to Smash it!'

On the mound, Sawamura looked at Raichi who was all fired up, and couldn't help but smile.

'Yeah, that's Raichi for you.'

'But Raichi, I too don't want to lose to anyone!'

The second ball: The Forkball!

Eijun saw Miyuki's sign and pitched the ball perfectly.

Whoosh!

'Here it comes! but which one is it?'

When the ball came close to the plate, it sunk again.

BUZZ!!

Ping!

The bat hit the ball, but the baseball flew out of the line.

Pak!

"FOUL!"

The referee announced and the audience was feeling the rush.

"Ooooh!"

"He touched it, from the second ball!"

"Man, this duel is just…"

On the zone, Miyuki was also feeling cold.

'He was actually able to touch it after seeing it once?!'

'Then, let's finish this while it is still roaming in his brain.'

The third ball: The Straight Fastball!

Miyuki saw throw Raichi's unfocused mind and wanted to end the duel quickly.

Seeing Miyuki's sign Eijun threw the ball immediately.

'As expected, you are really dangerous batter to face.'

'Raichi!'

Whoosh!

'Eijun!'

BUZZ!!

The image of the Forkball had already been implanted in Raichi's mind, and facing the ball he had prepared to hit, Raichi was still caught off guard.

He swung his bat, but he didn't touch the ball.

SNAP!

"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"

Sawamura Struck Out Todoroki Raichi twice with the same Straight Fastball.
