Volume 1 Chasing the Baseball Dream Chapter 008: True
"Damn it! How could the ball change so much?"
Everyone at the scene widened their eyes with disbelief in their eyes.
There are very few middle school students who can master high-level changeups. Not only middle school students, but also high school students who can master high-level changeups are not many.
But just now, they saw with their own eyes a changing ball that was at least S-level.
The magnitude of the change is enough to make people stunned.
"The genius boy I've been waiting for, here he comes!"
Supervisor Tahara's eyes were sparkling like a 40-watt light bulb.
He was already satisfied to have a potential pitcher like Manaka Kaname.
But God seemed to have a special preference for him. Not only did he send him Manaka Kaname, but now he has sent him another pitcher whose talent seems to be even better than Manaka.
Even though he only watched one goal, Tian Yuan couldn't suppress his excitement.
Such talented players are extremely valuable to train, even if their strength has not yet fully developed.
"Tell me, after the game, keep this child here. Make sure he stays here!"
The assistant coach of the city's third high school couldn't believe it when he received the order. He had been coaching with Coach Tianyuan for several years, but this was the first time he saw Coach Tianyuan so excited.
This shows that the child's potential has reached an outrageous level.
Otherwise, there is no way that Director Tahara would lose his composure like this.
As a well-known supervisor of a prestigious school, although Supervisor Tahara is a little immature, he still has all the necessary manners.
Now he is so out of control!
The assistant coach of the city's third high school also set his sights on Tianjiu.
Is this boy’s talent really that terrifying?
The facts speak for themselves.
Tianjiu fully demonstrated this in his next pitch.
He first used a changeup to seize the initiative, and then followed it up with an extremely fast straight ball.
“Whoosh!”
The little white ball, like a bullet, instantly penetrated through layers of obstacles and appeared in the catcher's glove.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
The ninth batter of the City University High School was completely stunned.
So fast!
In a flash, the ball went through him, and he didn't even have time to react. Although he was not promoted to the first team like the other freshmen, he was also a relatively strong new player in the second team. Now he has represented the school and started to play practice games with other high schools.
But even so, he still didn't have time to react to Tianjiu's straight ball.
"Two strikes so quickly!"
"The middle school students who participated in the selection this year really look extraordinary."
"Yeah, I don't know where it came from?"
"You don't know this, right? That guy is famous, the ace of the Ishikawa Little League. Have you heard of him?"
"It's the pitcher with the body noise, isn't it?"
Some old fans of the city's third high school gathered outside the stadium at some point and watched the game with great interest.
In fact, at this time every year, there are always some particularly prominent guys emerging.
But generally these guys are just playing tricks. The talent show has a lot of fame, but in fact, not many top players are selected.
This is not difficult to understand, with Ohmae and Manaka currently in their first year, and Hoshida and Miyagawa about to join the team.
These truly capable and outstanding contestants had already received invitations from the city's top three high schools and would not be participating in any talent shows at all.
In the absence of top stars, other wealthy families will scramble for resources.
Those who are able to come to the city’s senior high school to participate in the selection are basically well-known contestants who are neither high nor low.
These players are definitely talented, but not sure how talented they are.
Unexpectedly , a dark horse emerged this year.
Tian Jiu Guang Sheng!
"Go get the speedometer and see how fast this guy's straight ball is. "
“Whoosh!”
The first pitch was a high-grade slider, the second was a clean straight ball, and the third was a straight ball right down the middle.
Three goals in a row, without missing a single one.
The batter didn't even have time to swing his bat before the duel between the two sides was over.
"No swing, strikeout!"
After Tianjiu came on the court, it really gave the middle school students a good start.
“Nice shot!”
"Let them fight, we will stop them."
“One out, one out!”
Tianjiu's outstanding performance also boosted the atmosphere on the court.
Voices of cheering and support began to be heard from the middle school students’ garrison.
"138km!"
When Tian Jiu's pitch speed was measured, the assistant coach of the city's third high school was a little surprised.
It’s not that Tianjiu’s ball speed is very fast, he just feels that the speed of the ball is a bit strange.
From what he saw with his own eyes, the ball should have been faster.
He felt it should be at least 140 kilometers.
“This pitch is interesting!”
Director Tahara's eyes became more satisfied.
Genius, this is the real genius.
As long as he is well sculpted, this guy's future will be limitless.
However, this guy, who seemed to have unlimited talent, immediately suffered a loss.
“Ping!”
His pitch was caught by the first batter of the city's third high school, Zhenzhong.
After the white ball was hit, it flew directly behind the shortstop.
Manaka took the opportunity to run to first base.
"Safety!"
One out, runner on first base.
"Well done, it really hit the target!"
"You're just a young boy, why are you so proud?"
The contestants from the city's senior high school were very proud.
Even Zhang Han, his opponent, gave Zhenzhong a thumbs up.
"That's amazing, you senior! How did you know that guy can throw an inside straight ball?"
"Don't forget, I'm a pitcher too!"
Manaka's face was all smiles.
Obviously, he was very excited because he had just guessed Tianjiu's ball path.
"But I didn't expect that you would come to the city's third high school. Didn't you always say that choice is more important than hard work? I thought you would go to Didong or Daocheng?"
In recent years, the teams from Tokyo that have made it to Koshien the most are Teito and Inashiro.
"Don't look down on the city's third-high school. The city's third-high school is also a very good team."
"I didn't say that the city's third year is bad."
"You clearly said it, don't be embarrassed, senior."
"You're just as unlovable as before."
"Thank you for the compliment, then."
Zhang Han has been a rotation pitcher for Matsukata Little League since the first grade, and played against Manaka for two years. He knows Manaka and his substitute, Tamba.
It's just that Danbo is an introvert, so the two don't communicate much.
Shinnosuke's personality is like a warm little sun and he is easy to get along with.
