Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

"Or let's play!"

The test data can only be viewed as data. How much strength really has depends on the performance in the game.

Sawamura knows this better than anyone. Otherwise, even if Sawamura were to take all the tests, he would still be able to perform well.

"How to compare?"

Among the freshmen, some people are eager to try.

"Everyone is not a rookie, so I won't say much about the rules. You freshmen form a team, and our old players form a team. The old players have no pitchers except me, so I have to play. However, we don't bully you either. .I only shoot straight balls, and the ball path is limited to the outside corners, and I don't use any change **** and quirk balls. The score doesn't matter, as long as you can take a point from us, the rules are reversed, and you have the final say. Veteran players Whoever you want, whoever you don't want, kick him out of the team. That includes me."

Hearing Sawamura say this, the freshmen were still very excited, their eyes glowing red.

The Akagi Middle School baseball team seems to be irreplaceable except for Sawamura.

I have to say that the temptation given by Sawamura is very tempting. In particular, the freshmen team has eight junior baseball backgrounds. The ideal result, eight of them will form a team with Sawamura, and their strength should not be weaker than the original Akagi.

"What if we lose?"

Some people are eager to try, and naturally some people are pessimistic.

"That doesn't matter. Through the game, three points are deducted for strikeouts, two points are deducted for **** that fly high or ground, and one point is deducted when they are resolved. One point is deducted for a hit, two points for a double, and two for a triple. Three points are added, and home runs are directly qualified. Both top and bottom are six points. If you get six points, you will be qualified in advance, and if you lose six points, you will be eliminated directly. There are only six places in total. The second is defense. Points. The catcher deducts one point for not catching the ball, and the striker and the pitcher each get one point. The pitcher loses a point in the game, and it counts as a point, whether it is a fielding error or not. Dealing with a batter adds one point, whether it is a strikeout or a strikeout. The defense counts. The rules are the same as other fielders to qualify with six points, and lose six points to eliminate."

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear!"

It was the first time they had heard of such a simple and crude rule. However, listening to it makes the blood boil, and I feel that as long as I join the baseball team in the future, there must be countless possibilities waiting for me.

Those who break the unspoken rules of Nagano should be like this. A team that aspires to be in the country should do so.

Nineteen newcomers, three pitchers and two catchers. Other infielders and outfielders are mixed up, first and third baseman count as one position, second baseman and shortstop count as one position, and outfielders are ignored.

Everyone draws lots to decide the order of appearance, and then the game begins.

In the first half of the game, the freshmen attacked.

"Strike, strike, strike, strike out."

"strike out!"

"strike out!"

Without any suspense, Sawamura scored three strikeouts very cleanly. In the first three bats, one person conceded three points, even if Sawamura restricted his pitching to the outside corner, even if he only used straight balls.

Sawamura also has a ball speed of 130. Such a ball speed is still too fast for a teenager who has just entered middle school. Even the junior players, most of the **** they are in contact with now are 111 balls, and at most they will not exceed 1002 balls.

A ball going five kilometers faster is a completely different field. Sawamura and them are not opponents of the same level at all.

"Wakana, record!"

"OK!"

The recorder of the game was Wakana, Sawamura nodded at her, and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

At this time, the first pair of shooting partners appeared.

"let's start."

Sawamura didn't even bother to ask their names. After today, there shouldn't be much interaction.

"Comrades, it's time to show our striking power."

In the past year, everyone at Akagi Middle School has swung tens of thousands of times. This amount of practice is enough to cause a qualitative change, and Sawamura is looking forward to their performance.

"There's no need to care about the opponent's defense, as long as they can really hit the ball, they're all little brats. This is the time to verify our attack."

Before going on stage, Sawamura smiled and encouraged everyone.

"it is good."

After practicing for so long, everyone is waiting and looking forward to it.

At the beginning of the game, it was Oda who hit the first pitch. He hit a very nice hit and hit base easily.

Then Yamaguchi hit second, sending Oda to third base.

No one was out, there were people at first and third base.

In the third round, it was Feng Xiang's turn. Feng Xiang unceremoniously threw the ball away. Three-point home run!

The total score is 3:0!

The pitcher dropped a three-pointer, but the other fielders didn't drop any points easily. The later the game, the more vivid the new students' minds became, and they finally realized how simple their initial thoughts were.

Of the ten players who haven't played yet, the vast majority are from junior clubs. Although these guys are young, they already see things very clearly.

"It's so sinister, should I say it's Sawamura-senpai?"

"Under this set of rules, people are all selfish, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to cooperate, let alone score."

"Don't talk nonsense, the score is the trick given by Sawamura-senpai, are you really going in? A pitcher who can suppress the three kings to hit the line, so that they can't get four or five hits in total, and can't get two or three points, Do you think we are really better than them?"

Either Tenryu-ji Temple or Nagano Metropolitan High School. Their players are all from the junior club, and most of them are the main force of the junior club. In terms of background, they are stronger than the much-anticipated backup pitcher Komaki and the backbone of the stalwart Ooyuan Pure.

But even if they were trained in high school baseball for two to three years, they were still no match for Sawamura. What's more, they?

This match was doomed from the beginning. It is a war in which whoever loses the fewest points can stay in the final battle, a brutal survival battle!

"The guy who played first?"

One of them said hesitantly.

"The first to play has the greatest chance of elimination. That's why we draw lots. And the lottery has also been tricked. Most of the truly powerful players stayed."

Don't say I don't know, it's true.

Among the ten people left behind, there are six people who are less good, including Dayuan Puchun and Xiaomu.

"Pitcher, out, substitution. Outfielder, substitution!"

"First baseman, make a substitution!"

…

At the end of the first game, the few who couldn't get out of the game one after another. What surprised Sawamura was the catcher. This catcher did not come from a junior club background, but he did the arduous task of being a catcher.

It can be seen that he is still very jerky as a catcher. He can't do anything other than catch the ball.

But he aimed at this position!

The most interesting thing is that until now, although the boy has not scored, he has not lost any points.
