Chapter 15 Strike Training, Stunning The Audience

"I..."

"what should I do?"

In the panic, Sawamura asked Lin Tian subconsciously.

"It's simple."

"Find a way to grasp the timing of turning earlier."

"If you turn the ball one step earlier in Masuko-senpai's third strike, he'll be 100% empty!"

Lin Tian said with a smile.

Of course, having said that, he didn't know if Masuko Toru would be empty.

but.

To convince Sawamura.

Definitely use a bit of an exaggerated description.

Anyway.

Master a turning point.

And master a variety of turning timing.

Needless to say, the latter is definitely more advantageous.

"It makes sense!"

Sawamura nodded suddenly.

"Except for a change in the timing of the turn."

"You also have to master the direction of the turn."

"after all!"

"Although random turns can make the opponent unpredictable, if you throw the ball in front of a batter who is good at outside corner kicks, and the ball just floats to the outside corner, isn't this a chance for the opponent?"

"But..."

"If you can control the direction of the drift, then you can throw the ball into the corner in front of a batter who is good at outside corners!"

"In this case, the opponent will be very uncomfortable!"

In order to make Sawamura understand, Lin Tian tried to teach in the simplest words.

"By the way, in your game today, there were a lot of low-level mistakes that shouldn't have happened!"

"So it leaves a bad impression on the coach!"

"In any sport, the foundation is the most important!"

"If you want to be promoted to the First Army."

"Have to polish your foundation."

"And the best way to improve the basics is to read more baseball primers and baseball advanced books, as well as baseball instructional videos."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say."

"As for how to do it, it's up to you."

"I still need to exercise, let's take a step first."

Say it.

While Sawamura was thinking about his words, Lin Tian picked up the empty drink bottle and left the indoor practice room.

...

the next day.

Lin Tian put on his training clothes.

With baseball gloves and metal sticks, I came to the A field to participate in the garrison training and strike training of the First Army.

Because Lin Tian has not shown his striking ability before.

So when he gets to the batter's seat, he's going to have a world-class bunt.

bunt.

Usually refers to hitting.

It means holding a short bat and touching the baseball lightly.

Roll the ball weakly in a direction that is difficult to defend, so that the opponent will be caught off guard.

Thereby helping the teammates on the base to successfully run to the next base.

but.

in the determination of the system.

Bunts are not hits, but hit the ball anywhere in the infield.

As for world class bunts.

It is to let Lin Tian have the level of where to play.

Of course...

The premise of where to play is...

Opponent's pitching, not approaching world class and reaching world class...  

at this time.

Stand on the mound.

In charge of pitching is Kenshi Kawakami.

His ball-handling ability is outstanding, but his strength is only at the Kanto level.

so.

When Lin Tian stepped into the batter's seat, there was no pressure.

"Although I really want to show off my skills..."

"But after all, it's a teammate, let's be patient..."

Lin Tian originally wanted to aim at the crotch of the seniors to hit the ball, but for the sake of his teammates, he gave up this skill to show off his hitting ability.

call out!

Kawakami threw the ball with all his might.

Ever since I was educated once by Dongqingguo, a four-stick hitter of the previous generation of Qingdao.

Kawakami made a decision.

Whether it's an official game or daily training, do your best!

but...

He was facing Lin Tian!

so...

when!

A crisp sound!

Lin Tian hit the baseball with precision!

And aim at the direction of third base and hit it!

next moment!

Feel free to leave the metal bar to one side and rush to first base!

Tatata!

The super fast footsteps brought a gust of wind!

The First Army and other members who were training around, as well as the head coach Kataoka who was patrolling the stadium, were all attracted by Lin Tian's figure!

at the same time!

The baseball hit by Lin Tian just landed at the third baseman's feet, causing him to bend over to catch it.

but!

Check in after a long time!

Lin Tian's power has already surpassed the national level!

How could the third baseman react to the baseball he hit with all his strength?

I see!

In the process of third baseman bending over!

The baseball had landed at his feet and bounced behind him!

Fortunately, after the deceleration of the ground, the flight speed plummeted, which also gave the third baseman a chance to catch up!

but...

When the third baseman picks up the ball...

But found out...

Lin Tian has run to first base...  

At the same time, the voice of the first base referee was also heard:

"Safety on base!"

Everyone who was paying attention to Lin Tian just now was stunned.

"Okay... so fast!"

"Is this speed comparable to Kuramochi, who is the fastest in the team?"

"And the direction of the blow is very tricky!"

"If it wasn't a coincidence just now, then the strike ability of this junior is a bit terrifying!"

in the voice of the crowd.

The batter behind Lin Tian stepped into the batter's seat.

Lin Tian, who was standing on first base, stared at Kawakami's pitching posture.

at the same time.

Be ready to run anytime.

in a baseball game.

It is a foul for a pitcher not to pretend to throw a ball at home plate and actually pass it to another base.

In other words.

Once the pitcher is in the pitching stance.

Then he can't pass the ball to teammates guarding other bases.

therefore.

When Lin Tian saw Kawakami make a pitch to the home plate.

Legs jerked violently.

With world-class sprinting speed, rush to second base as quickly as possible.

Tatata!

Extremely fast figure!

Once again attracted the attention of some members of the staff!

And under the watchful eyes of the crowd...

When Lin Tian has run more than half the distance...

The catcher had just caught Kawakami's pitch and passed it to the second baseman...

Wait until the catcher passes.

Fly over the pitching mound.

Lin Tian's right foot has stepped on the second base's bag.

"Safety on base!"

The second base umpire announced immediately.

When the sound fell.

The second baseman only got the ball from the catcher.

"This kid's legs are so strong..."

The shortstop Yoichi Kuramochi looked at Lin Tian standing at second base in amazement.

"and..."

"Very courageous..."

"The first time I participated in hitting training, I dared to steal bases..."
