Chapter 16: The Big Home Run

"That person is Feng Xiang, Feng Xiang Aoyi, who is also a junior."

Shi Lun is different from Akagi. Several of their players were transferred from junior clubs. Almost at first glance, they recognized Feng Xiang's identity. You must know that in Nagano's young clubs at that time, Feng Xiang was also a man of influence!

He and Nanami Haruka are also known as Nagano Gemini.

The two teamed up to create the best record in the history of Nagano Metropolitan Junior Club, runner-up in the Kanto Regional Tournament. There is no unified national competition in primary schools. For children in the Kanto region, the Kanto regional competition is already the highest level competition they can access.

Since then, it seems that I have never heard of Feng Xiang again. Everyone speculates that he may have chosen baseball to study abroad and joined a junior baseball or a high school in a foreign country.

I didn't expect to see him in Akagi, it's really surprising.

"It's Fengxiang, no wonder..."

"But why is such a person in Chicheng? Shouldn't he go to a stronger place?"

"Who knows, he probably has his own reasons."

Several people who had experience in Shaobang talked a lot. In fact, the Nagano Twins are so famous that they can't even pretend they don't care.

Sawamura is the strike zone that boarded in this case.

He also faintly heard the discussion. Although it was not very real, he could still judge it. Everyone should have recognized the identity of Senior Feng Xiang.

Sawamura was not very clear about Fengxiang Aoyi's previous experience, but he could also guess that Fengxiang must be extraordinary.

The first time he saw his pitch, he was able to seize the opportunity to swing the bat. With such eyesight and skills, as far as Sawamura knew, Feng Xiang Aoyi was enough to rank in the top 1,000. If it was limited to players of the same age, among the people Sawamura knew, Feng Xiang Ouichi could even rank in the top 100.

This title may seem like no big deal, but it's not. You must know about Izemura's experience. In his previous life, he had seen many top hitters of his generation in Qingdao, not to mention the strong hits of professional masters and major leagues later on.

Among these people, Feng Xiang can rank in the top 100.

How could such a player be unknown before?

If you were an ordinary person, you would be curious about Fengxiang Aoyi's previous experience. Ke Zemura would not, he has even experienced rebirth, not to mention that he was a famous rescue pitcher in the major leagues in his previous life.

It is very difficult for such a person to be interested in a famous player in elementary school.

For Sawamura, the real test of a person's strength depends on the last year or two of middle school and high school. Only then can you truly see the potential of a player. On the baseball field, there is no shortage of examples where the age is not always the best.

Elementary school, because some people develop early and some develop late. There may have been a big gap in strength at the time, but it's hard to say what happened after that. Unlike middle school and high school, where the body has developed seventy or eighty percent, it is easier to see a person's potential in comparison.

Even in professional baseball, professional scouts pay more attention to the player's junior baseball (middle school) experience and high school experience, and even count these into the player's database. As for the lesser ones, unless they are exceptionally prominent, they won't count as points.

Sawamura couldn't control how prominent Fengxiang Aoyi was in middle school.

Since he entered Akagi, that is Akagi's partner, teammate. No matter if he was famous or not, Sawamura didn't intend to let them down.

"The seniors are all on base. As the fourth player in the team, I can't let you down with anything I say!"

Sawamura's eyes were calm, ignoring the whispers of the surrounding audience, and his eyes were fixed on the pitcher on the pitcher mound.

The way he was so absorbed in it surprised Shi Lun's friends.

Before the game, they had heard from their coach Ishikawa that Akagi's team was formed with Sawamura as the core. When I played against their second army before,

Sawamura also showed a good blow.

Three hits in three rounds.

batting average, 60%.

He is a very strong player, and he is very strong in both shooting and shooting.

If there is any enviable position on the baseball field, it is undoubtedly the ace pitcher and four-ball.

You don't need to show much, just listening to the name, you can feel the weight of this person in the team. In the current Akagi, Sawamura is like that.

Although two powerful people, Fengxiang Ouichi and Oda Bensheng joined, Sawamura's status has not changed.

He remains the team's core four and ace pitcher.

on the mound.

Tanaka let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Sawamura's strength should be good, otherwise he wouldn't have pushed Feng Xiangao to the third place.

But he Tanaka is not Miki of the second army. When he compared with Feng Xiangao, because he did not recognize the opponent, he did not use his own decisive ball.

But now, he decided to use the deciding ball to take on Sawamura.

Thinking about it, he also glanced at his own bullpen.

Coach Ishikawa nodded at him.

Although now is a good opportunity to walk the opponent's four sticks, such a situation seems to be more favorable to Shi Lun.

But considering the situation of the game, Coach Ishikawa still thinks there is no need to escape Sawamura. Not to mention that the duel between Tanaka and Sawamura may not necessarily be lost, and Sawamura's attack is not so powerful that it is frightening. Another one, after all, they are a seeded team, and they must play the momentum of a seeded team.

Once they escaped the confrontation with Sawamura, the little guys under him would probably think that the other party was the kind of invincible opponent...

Carrying such a psychological burden is likely to make it harder for them to play in subsequent games.

A baseball game is similar to the two armies facing each other. Even if you have to take some risks in this process, it doesn't matter.

"Whoosh!"

With the coach's approval, Tanaka made a decisive throw.

The baseball flew out of his hand like a light into the catcher's glove, and there was a crisp "pop" from the glove.

"Bad ball!"

The pitch was a little off the inside corner strike zone and the referee called a bad pitch.

This ball, Sawamura did not swing.

He was on the strike zone and could see clearly. The speed of the ball is 125, and it is an ordinary straight ball with an inside angle. For Sawamura, who has been professionally baptized, such a golf course is like playing a house with a child.

It was just that the ball was a bit tricky just now, and Sawamura wasn't sure to stop the shot in the bounds, so he didn't swing the bat.

Now it's a bad ball. According to Shi Lun's partner's previous ball-matching habits, they should shoot the next ball - the outside corner!

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flies, and the path of the ball is a straight ball from the outside corner.

Such a ball, if the swing is not thorough, can easily be hit as a foul ball. Shi Lun's shooting partner, the purpose of matching this ball is to pass this ball and use the foul ball to get a good number of shots.

It's a pity that they didn't know that Sawamura had hit the ball long ago.

Shi Lun's pitcher has good ball control and can separate simple inside and outside corners. A pitcher with such a wide pitch generally makes the hitter feel that the strike belt is unusually wide, making it difficult to target the pitcher's pitching angle. But for an old fritter like Sawamura, the better the pitcher, the easier it is to guess his path.

Just like now, after a bad ball in the inner corner, the opponent has at least a 70% probability of throwing a straight ball in the outer corner!

And 70% is enough for Sawamura to take risks.

Sawamura's entire body turned like a top, and as he turned the bat in his hand began to swing.

"Ping!!!"

There was no suspense, Sawamura's bat slammed hard on the white ball, and then he saw the ball that was hit fly all the time.

"Fly, fly out!!!"
