Chapter 633 - 633: The Savior

"Bang!"

"Out!"

Watching Isashiki Jun get out, the team inevitably fell into a dilemma.

One out, runners on First Base and Second Base.

Although there were still two runners on base, the situation faced by the Seido High School Baseball Team suddenly became much more severe.

"Only five more outs!"

The Coach looked at his Ace full of hope.

Although in this game, Uehara's confrontations with Zhang Han and Yuuki did not gain much advantage, as long as he could get these last five outs and help the team win this game against the Seido High School Baseball Team, it should be enough to make him famous.

The ideal state, of course, was to completely suppress Yuuki and Zhang Han in this game.

The two core powerful hitters of the Seido High School Baseball Team were outstanding top hitters nationwide.

A pitcher who could suppress them in a head-on confrontation, no matter how unknown he was before, would be enough to make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, although their Ace performed very well, he didn't suffer too much in the confrontations with Zhang Han and Yuuki.

But to say he completely suppressed them, it really hadn't reached that level.

So, it was impossible for Uehara to step on their heads and become famous.

Fortunately, even if he couldn't completely suppress Zhang Han and Yuuki, Uehara still had a chance to make a name for himself.

Facing the Seido High School Baseball Team, known as the National First Batting Line, as long as he could limit their score to within three runs and win this game, it would be enough to make Uehara famous in the Kanto region, and even nationwide.

With the baptism of such a game, he absolutely believed that Uehara could go further.

His current strength was already very good, and if he could go further, he could lead the Yokohama Kohoku High School Baseball Team to overcome all obstacles in the summer and ultimately dominate the country.

He had even thought about what he would say during reporter interviews after winning the championship.

So he was immensely looking forward to Uehara's performance.

Originally, with the batting starting from Zhang Han, he was still a bit worried.

Now that Uehara intentionally walked Yuuki and successfully dealt with the unexpected Isashiki Jun, his perfect performance filled the Coach with joy.

In just this one game, he clearly saw Uehara's progress.

With the first out secured, the situation they faced suddenly became much easier.

Next, they only needed to face the Seido High School Baseball Team's batting lineup starting from the Sixth Batter.

The next batter for Seido was also a very famous player.

The Sixth Batter of the Seido High School Baseball Team, Miyuki Kazuya.

He was also known as the savior of the Seido High School Baseball Team.

Before the game, Yokohama Kohoku's research on Miyuki Kazuya was also very thorough.

This person's hitting average was quite astonishing when there were runners on base.

So, for this batter, they had thought of many strategies on how to fight him.

But in today's game, from the beginning until now, they seemed to have never seen Miyuki display any strength.

Even with runners on base, he was easily dealt with by Uehara.

He had three at-bats and not even one hit.

Now facing such an opponent again, the Yokohama Kohoku players were full of confidence.

In the Seido High School Baseball Team, some people lived up to their reputation.

For example, Zhang Han and Yuuki, these two were as difficult as rumored, even more difficult than rumored.

They were as strong as monsters!

And there were also some whose reputations did not match their reality.

For example, this classmate who was called the savior, they didn't see where Miyuki was strong at all.

"Be careful of the opponent using a bunt for a walk, or a hit and run."

He conveyed crucial information to the players on the field.

He communicated the possible situations in advance with the pitcher and catcher on the field.

The attacking characteristic of the Seido High School Baseball Team was to actively aim for the next base.

Given the personalities of their players, they probably wouldn't accept defeat just like that.

In a hopeless situation, they would definitely try every possible way to take a gamble.

Zhang Han and Yuuki both left their bases, taking a lead-off stance.

In the Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout, Kataoka, Ota, and Ochiai all stood up together.

They also knew that the next hitting might be related to the team's survival.

"Should we let Chris pinch-hit…"

Although Ota used to have great faith in Miyuki's ability, Miyuki's condition in today's game was truly not good.

In this situation, it would be better to…

"The light in his eyes has not disappeared, I don't believe he won't get even one hit in today's game."

Coach Kataoka said decisively.

Hearing their Coach's words, Ota and Ochiai gradually calmed down.

Things had come to this point, none of them had any retreat.

No matter the outcome, they could only push forward with determination.

After all, they were currently trailing.

If they couldn't score this inning, the Seido High School Baseball Team might not find any offensive opportunities until the end of the game.

At the batter's box, Miyuki watched Uehara throw his first pitch.

The white ball suddenly dropped before approaching the strike zone.

A forkball?

"Bang!"

"Strike!"

Miyuki's expression remained unfazed, showing no sign of being behind in the count.

He adjusted his bat and refocused his gaze on his opponent.

To be fair, it was Miyuki's first time encountering an opponent like Uehara.

He possessed so many breaking balls, and the probability of him randomly throwing various breaking balls was simply too high, to the point where Miyuki had no way of determining what kind of breaking ball the opponent would throw.

It was precisely because of this that the Seido High School Baseball Team's attacks often came to a sudden halt when they reached him.

Miyuki had no solution for this either.

There were so many types of breaking balls, and the changes were so drastic.

If he didn't guess in advance which breaking ball it was, he simply couldn't hit the ball.

In fact, throughout the entire Seido High School Baseball Team, only Zhang Han and Yuuki could wait for the ball to fully arrive at their side and swing to hit it.

Everyone else, more or less, was a little lacking.

Miyuki was no exception.

Even now, in their fourth confrontation, Miyuki still hadn't fully figured out the opponent's pitching pattern.

After all, there were so many breaking balls, and too many random combinations.

"Bang!"

"Strike!"

Just then, Uehara got the second strike, and Miyuki was cornered.

In the dugout of the Seido High School Baseball Team, the players were silent with fear.

Originally, they still had confidence in Miyuki, but now, unconsciously, most of that confidence had been depleted.

They were also unsure what the outcome would be next.

Forkball!

Fast forkball!!

After seeing the first two pitches, Miyuki finally sorted out some ideas.

One out, runners on First Base and Second Base.

Compared to striking out the batter, they should prefer to get an infield grounder or a fly ball, which could potentially get two outs at once.

Combining with the first two pitches, there were three possible pitches for the last one.

Normal fastball!

Normal curveball!

Or, a fast forkball!

Even in their fourth confrontation, Miyuki hadn't fully understood Uehara's pitching pattern.

So he could only gamble, gamble on one of these three patterns.

Fast forkball!
