Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher

The catcher who partnered with Sawamura in the first round was Chris. At this time, Miyuki came to serve as the referee.

Miyuki also got equipment from who knows where. He even got the protective mask on the head of the referee.

"You are too careful!"

Seeing Miyuki in full armor, Sawamura felt inexplicably happy.

"I don't want to take chances."

Miyuki laughed.

It wasn't all about himself, it was more about Chris, who had just recovered after all.

For Sawamura and Miyuki's caution, Chris was curious and funny, they really took him as a glass man. But Chris really felt the sincerity of the two towards him.

It's just that he's not the kind of person who puts his gratitude on his lips, so this emotion can only flow silently in his heart.

"The first game, what are you going to do?"

Sawamura ran to Chris and asked.

As a Catcher, Chris belongs to lead the pitcher type of catcher. He can adjust a pitcher's state to the best. When partnering with Miyuki, Sawamura still thinks about putting forward his own ideas and opinions, but not with Chris, he will choose the ball that suits you according to your state.

Miyuki once said a famous saying that pitching is a work of art created by a pitcher and a catcher!

This is not only Miyuki, but Chris has also done it. Neither is the type to use the pitcher as a tool, and they also hate the pitcher's use of the catcher as a tool to catch the ball. They pay a lot of attention to guiding the pitchers so they can show their best pitches.

Of course, the two also have their own individualities, not exactly the same.

Chris listened to Sawamura and asked him, turned around and glanced at them, and said in a low voice, "You haven't shown your new pitching form in front of them, have you?"

Sawamura was stunned when he heard the words, but he answered honestly: "They must have seen it, but not in the batting zone."

Chris said: "Then let them see, okay!"

Sawamura's new Pitching form, it is absolutely impossible to comprehend the mystery just by watching from the side.

In the first round, Kominato Ryosuke was the first batter, and Isashiki Jun was the second. The Yuuki Tetsuya was the finale.

Kominato Ryosuke stood in his batting form, squinting at Eijun who was pitching.

Chris has not relaxed his observation of Ryosuke. After seeing Ryosuke's stance and holding the Bat, he gave Sawamura the first sign.

First ball: Inside corner, normal Straight ball!

Sawamura nodded slightly.

He believed in Chris's Calling.

he saw Sawamura raise his right foot high, and then his right foot slashed down like a battle axe. As his center of gravity shifted, Sawamura's right glove blocked his body like a shield.

On the Batting zone, Kominato originally made up his mind to swing the first ball. He has always come across as an extremely tough batter who likes to pick four Ball Walk on base. Chris and Sawamura knew this.

So, this time he was uncharacteristically, swinging the bat when he was ready for the first ball.

The plan was good, but when he saw Sawamura pitching, his plan fell through.

The reason is simple. He couldn't even see where Sawamura put the ball. When he pitched the ball, the spot was tightly blocked by his body and gloves.

Whoosh!

The baseball was thrown, but Kominato Ryosuke failed to swing.

Snap!

The baseball landed in Chris's open glove with a crisp sound.

"STRIKE!"

Miyuki judged with a smile.

"Really interesting."

The smile on Ryosuke's face became brighter and brighter. He even looked back at Miyuki, and when Miyuki felt his heart flutter, he turned to look at Sawamura.

The throwing point is completely invisible, and the ball is coming faster than expected.

Sawamura Eijun, two years have passed, and the progress of this kid is really scary.

'However, I was not a wasting my time in Seidou. Just let me see what else is great about your pitching.'

Just when Kominato made up his mind, Eijun's second ball came, and his pitching rhythm was still fast.

On the Batting zone, Kominato Ryosuke sneered in his heart.

I'm sorry, but I can't go as you wish.

In the face of this ball, Ryosuke Kominato swung decisively.

Ping!

The white ball was hit and flew high.

Sawamura took two steps back, opened his gloves, and caught the ball.

"OUT!"

Kominato Ryosuke was directly Shut out by Sawamura.

In fact, when he touched the ball, Ryosuke Kominato had a premonition that it was bad because the ball was not hit hard.

Sawamura threw a moving ball.

Because he was so concerned about Sawamura's new pitching form, he even forgot that Sawamura had many other pitches.

In fact, it's even more scary to think so, because Sawamura's pitching has improved a whole level because he has learned a new pitching form. The speed of the ball itself has increased, and there is no place to see the ball, it feels that the speed of the ball is faster than the real ball speed.

"What a little monster!"

Kominato Ryosuke knew that he was being tricked, not only by Sawamura but also by Chris.

Speaking of which, Chris is also interesting. He only stood where he was now, and whether it was the third grader or Sawamura's partner, he would give it his all.

Such a guy is very reliable as a teammate. But as an opponent, it's also a headache.

After Kominato Ryosuke was out, it was Isashiki's turn at bat.

"Please take care of me!"

Isashiki Jun greeted Chris and Miyuki politely.

There was a big drop of cold sweat on the heads of the two of them.

One of the two is Isashiki's Kohai, and the other is Isashiki's classmate. It seems that we don't need to use honorifics, right?

"Come, brat! Show me your pitch."

'This guy has made this a required homework. It is basically a routine now'

Turning his face, Isashiki seemed to have changed into the familiar Spitz.

Isashiki's grip is very strange, but his batting is very good.

With such an opponent, you can never guess what he is thinking.

Chris frowned, not knowing how to deal with Isashiki. (When Chris was in the first string, Isashiki hadn't played yet. In fact, until Chris was injured, Isashiki didn't make a comeback. When he recovered, Isashiki seemed to be the core Batter of the Famous Seidou. On Isashiki, Chris has very limited knowledge.)

Just when he hesitated, he saw Sawamura looking at him with firm eyes.

'Rest assured with the ball!'

'As long as I am here, I will definitely win.'

His eyes seemed to speak.

'With me here, we are invincible!!!'

This is the first time Chris has seen Sawamura like this.

It is indeed the super Ace who led his team and dominated the Nation twice.

If nothing else, the determination of Sawamura is far beyond what ordinary Pitchers can match.

Looking at Sawamura like this, Chris also has made his plan for ball calling.

Then let's hit them hard!
