Sawamura Eijun was not at all surprised by the treatment he was receiving now.

In the past few years, relying on his experience and strength far surpassing those of his peers, he has often been a devil-level existence.

What is the devil?

That would naturally bring despair to the opponent, making them unable to develop any resistance.

The former Sawamura, especially him in middle school.

It is this feeling that brings to peers.

At that time, the gap between him and his peers, whether it was strength or experience, was so large that it was unimaginable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to drag a team like the Chicheng Middle School baseball team to win the national championship, and more than once.

You know, even if a professional player is transferred over, they may not be able to achieve the same record as the village.

After all, if you want to win the championship, you don't just rely on strength.

Sometimes, luck is also very important.

If luck is not good enough, then even if the strength is reached, the final result will not be perfect.

At that time, Sawamura Eijun's strength far surpassed that of the same class, and his luck was also good.

The end result is that he has created a miracle that no one can replicate.

To be honest, after Sawamura entered high school, the probability of encountering professional players increased.

Compared with his peers, Sawamura's advantage is not as good as it was at the beginning.

Generally speaking, although Sawamura Eijun's progress rate is also very fast, the gap between him and the top peers in the country is constantly narrowing.

Especially in experience!

With Sawamura Eijun's rich experience now.

I want him to improve in this regard.

That is almost an impossible task.

It's not that Sawamura doesn't work hard, but that he has already reached his limit in terms of experience.

Want to improve, is that so easy?

For example, this is the same as our exam.

For Sawamura Eijun, the other friends are constantly familiar with baseball as they play, and their experience will definitely increase.

It's like them who could only score 10 or 20 points in the test.

If you try hard enough, your brain is not stupid.

Then in high school, they almost all have sixty or seventy points.

Those who specialize in these things may have more experience.

It can even reach 80 points and 90 points.

So the high school age group is almost the most important period for baseball players.

At this time, the top high school players have a very mature understanding of baseball.

They have almost been able to reach eighty or ninety points.

Even if Sawamura's experience is 99 points, the gap with them is not as good as it was at the beginning.

Not to mention there are evildoers like Miyuki.

Their understanding of baseball and their experience in the game...

Some are even stronger than Sawamura Eijun!

Not just baseball game experience, because the human body also has limits, although Sawamura Eijun did not delay practice during this period.

He honed his body to the highest level.

But at the same time, the level of other players is gradually improving.

Whether it is in terms of physical fitness or game experience.

Generally speaking, the gap between Sawamura and them is constantly narrowing.

In other words, the gap between the Big Devil and top players of the same age.

is getting closer.

Although Sawamura Eijun worked very hard during this period of time, it was because of the limitations of these talents.

Sawamura has never been able to break through the limit.

To be honest, as the person involved, Sawamura knows better than anyone else.

He discovered early on that his strength had fallen into a bottleneck.

This bottleneck is not the kind he encountered before that can be broken through.

This is a sense of helplessness.

For example,

His relationship with other players, especially the top players.

Like competitors standing together.

At the beginning, Sawamura pulled the others far behind because of his experience.

He's even very close to the top!

Although Sawamura is already close, there is still a long way to go to the top.

In fact, for baseball players, and even for all competitive players.

There has never been a peak in their movement.

They are all making great progress and making further progress.

There is no strongest, only stronger!

On this basis, Sawamura is almost in such a position.

He has been at this apex, and this apex is very painful.

Every step forward, they are creating history and reaching a realm that others have not reached.

In the process of exploring, they are also confused and frightened.

Most of the time, they themselves don't even know the future they are looking for.

Does it really exist?

Honestly, this is the scariest part.

Because I don't know what lies ahead, is there a way or no way? Therefore, the process of moving forward is particularly difficult, and every step I take is particularly apprehensive.

In contrast, Sawamura's competitors are different.

Because the roads they are going to walk have been taken by their peers and proved to be feasible.

So they just need to follow the trajectory left by the opponent and rush forward.

This is also the reason why late-developing countries often have advantages over early-developing countries.

It may be exaggerated to say that it has more advantages, but in terms of development speed, late-developing countries must have more advantages than early-developing countries, whether it is manpower or technology, whether it is experience or economy.

They all take a huge advantage.

This is also the relationship between Sawamura and his competitors.

The gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.

It is because Sawamura has begun to touch the limits of human beings in the field of baseball.

So every step forward, it is more difficult.

As for other competitors, because they have not yet reached such terrifying heights, they are still latecomers.

In this way, they can naturally advance rapidly.

The gap between them and Sawamura naturally became smaller and smaller.

In fact, it's okay now!

Because Sawamura Eijun has been making progress, although the gap between others and him is constantly narrowing.

Especially the top players of the same age. Originally, when they played against Eijun Sawamura, they were not qualified to play against each other. With a little brainstorming, Sawamura could beat all the players of the same age.

But now, he obviously can't do this anymore.

Although Sawamura's advantage is still obvious, other players of the same age have begun to pose a certain threat to him.

Wait until the career, to the big leagues.

At that time, the gap between Sawamura and the people around him will be infinitely close to zero.

The gap between them will be reduced to an extent that cannot be increased.

Why is that?

The reason is very simple, because those who stay in that place are already the best group of baseball players in the world.

Their whole body has been exercised, and their baseball IQ is not low.

The strength gap between Sawamura and them will definitely not be the same as it was at the beginning.

At that time, from the perspective of comprehensive strength, they are basically players of the same level.

Because every player who reaches that height will not relax on himself.

They will adjust every muscle of their own to the best condition.

At that time, the outcome of the match will depend on the performance of these top players.

Just having the world's top strength is nothing.

Being able to display the world's top strength is the best.

At that time, everyone will have to see, who can do better in this respect?

Sawamura understood this very well.

Sooner or later, no matter his overall physical fitness or experience, he will be caught up by others.

Because he is aiming at the top players in the world, so in a certain aspect, there will definitely be someone who surpasses him.

And if Sawamura guessed correctly, the time would be very fast.

That is around 18 to 20 years old.

At that time, the gap between him and the world's top peers will not be so obvious.

Although it is close now, Sawamura Eijun is not willing to give in so easily.

There was still fighting spirit in his eyes.

At that time, the fighting spirit in his heart still exists.

Although this boundary limits the growth of Sawamura's strength.

But it didn't kill his hopes completely.

If possible, Sawamura still hopes to go one step further.

And as far as it is now, the gap between him and his peers is constantly narrowing.

But it still hasn't disappeared.

For example, now, he is about to face his opponent.

He still has a big advantage!

And this point, the players in North America are also clear in their hearts.

It is precisely for this reason that North American players treat Sawamura like class enemies.

In their eyes, the man in front of them is simply a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh.

If there is no way to eliminate them, their situation will become extremely dangerous.

There must be a way to get a hit from Sawamura.

In fact, just scoring hits may not be enough.

It is best to be able to score points in one go and tie the score.

Even if there is no way to tie for the time being, you have to find a way to catch up with one point first.

For North American players, their current goal is very clear, that is to get hits and even points from Sawamura.

If this is not possible, then they are certainly not much better off.

As for Sawamura, he seems to have already gotten used to this situation.

In almost every game, he plays this position in the eyes of opponents.

The Great Demon King, the one who must be defeated.

Why is it like this?

Sawamura asked himself, it should be because of his excellent relationship.

That's why these guys regard themselves as enemies.

Although, I was very upset.

But there is also a little bit of pride.

After all, not everyone has such opportunities and qualifications.

On the surface, of course, the Great Demon King would not show any clues, lest he be seen as a joke.

But deep down, Sawamura does not reject this feeling.

He even admired the desperation in the other's eyes.

Just like now, the players in North America are clearly red-eyed and eager to make a difference.

But when they faced Sawamura, they were still helpless.

Standing on the sixth bat in the strike zone, he is a very powerful hitter in North America.

Although his bat times are not very high, he is not ranked in the most important hitting position.

But until now, he is the man with the most home runs in North America.

Honestly, this guy comes across as very violent.

It seems that if there is a disagreement, he will do it immediately.

And he is very powerful!

When you swing the bat, even if the bat doesn't hit the ball firmly.

As long as you touch it a little, you can also rely on your strong swing power to forcefully bring the white ball out.

Fighting against such a violent man.

Putting it on the previous Sawamura, it is naturally no problem.

After all, Sawamura Eijun is the man who holds the colorful changing ball.

He uses his rich variety of balls to deal with such empty and brute force hitters.

Just don't take it easy.

With such a tricky change, it is too difficult for the opponent to hit the ball, or even touch the ball.

But now, his changing ball has been sealed.

Many tricky shots cannot be used.

In this way, Sawamura's biggest advantage turned out to be his biggest disadvantage today.

When fighting against the opponent, instead of taking advantage of the slightest advantage, you may even suffer a huge loss.

The change ball doesn't seem to work!

Fortunately, Sawamura does not only have the change ball, this weapon.

He made simple eye contact with Lian Si, and immediately decided on his new tactic.

Then he opened his posture and very decisively threw the white ball in his hand.

The pitch is fast and the ball is thrown fast.

In fact, because of Sawamura's weird pitching posture, from the strike zone, his ball speed is faster than the real ball speed.

Now, he has changed his pitching rhythm.

The whole pitching process and movement seemed faster.

In this way, it makes the batter very difficult.

The sudden change of rhythm made the method he thought of at the beginning to find the timing of the swing useless.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the positions where Sawamura pitches the ball.

It's all about the corners, the most uncomfortable swing positions for a hitter.

hateful!

Damn it!

The sixth bat in North America on the strike zone, the state of the whole person has become very scary.

This is not to say that his momentum has improved!

It's just because he feels so awkward right now, his whole body is so uncomfortable that he's going to die.

Ask him why, and he can't say it himself.

But Sawamura Eijun's pitching made him hate it.

Originally able to exert 200% combat effectiveness.

Now there is only 50% left.

The swing has become very awkward, and I don't know if I can hit it?

In the past, even if he knew he couldn't hit the center of the ball, he always had the confidence to touch the ball.

But now, swinging in such an awkward position.

He wasn't even sure he could touch the ball.

"nice shot!"

"The outside world!!"

"nice shot!!!"

"strike out!!!"
