Carl's pitching condition made the two captains of Seido High School Baseball Club very satisfied.
Especially Rachel Thompson, she gave a very high evaluation of Carl's pitching just now.
Not to mention the players in the third team now, even in the second team, Carl is competitive.
"After this game is over, promote him to the second team first. Play more games, and wait until the summer competition is over, and then you should be able to promote him."
As the managers of the baseball club, they have to consider not only the first team at this time.
There is also the future development of the team.
Thinking of this, Rachel Thompson turned her head and looked at John Howe who seemed to be frightened in the batter's box.
Letting Carl face John is undoubtedly a bit cruel to John...
But there is no way. If you want the other party to realize his problem as soon as possible, you must completely break his fantasy.
Baseball is not the only way out, especially for John; he has more choices.
Let alone other sports, even being a star, in terms of John's appearance, is also very promising.
Of course, if John can cheer up after facing such a blow, it will not be a bad thing for him.
On the pitcher's mound, Carl, who had successfully caught a strike, was in surprisingly good shape.
His performance today was already good. Although he was hit with three hits, most of them were because the defensive players did not keep up in time.
For himself, although today was not a perfect 100 points, at least he could score 95 points.
Now facing John, Carl is even more confident.
Carl seems to have seen that the second team is waving to him.
He is not a genius like Yuki, and he does not expect to be promoted to the first team all at once.
Just climb up step by step, and finally join the first team and become an ace.
This is the path Carl wants to take.
Now his first step is about to be crossed.
Taking a deep breath, Carl raised his hand and threw the second ball.
"Swoosh!"
This time, the white baseball seemed to be faster in Carl's hand.
John, who was standing in the batter's box, experienced the shock of the first ball, and he already knew in his heart that if he wanted to hit this ball out by relying solely on his strength, it would be impossible.
He couldn't hit the ball at all from the position where the baseball flew.
Even the speed of the baseball flying at him was difficult for him to deal with...
The gap between him and Carl was terrifyingly large.
Although Carl was just a small character with a low presence in the Seido High School baseball team.
His strength was not something John could challenge.
Why did John have the idea of giving up before?
It was because of this reason. It was not that he did not work hard, but that after he tried hard, he still could not see the back of the opponent.
This was the most despairing thing.
Fortunately, John is different now.
Although he did not have more than ten years of hard training, and did not have the strong foundation and experience of other people in the team.
But he has cheats!
"Sharingan, open!"
After opening the Sharingan, John once again felt that the world in front of him seemed to have become completely different.
Carl's pitching originally seemed flawless to John.
Instead, it was the landing point of the opponent's pitching that made John completely unable to shoot.
But now, the white baseball has become extremely slow in John's eyes.
He can not only clearly see the trajectory of the baseball, but even the landing point of the baseball can be seen clearly.
The first pitch was a changeup, but the second was a normal straight ball.
John, who saw all this clearly, was filled with pride.
This kind of perspective, like a genius, was something he had never had before.
"I can hit it!"
John seemed to be able to feel the blood rushing in his body.
He held the bat tightly with both hands, and when the baseball was about to enter the strike zone, he decisively swung.
"Buzz!"
The bat swung out, just when John thought he was going to hit the ball.
He was surprised to find that his swing seemed to be too late.
The baseball passed through his eyes first.
"Snap!"
John swung the bat and missed.
"Strike!!"
The ball count was two good and zero bad.
John was chased after just two balls.
The rest area on their side was already full of wailing.
"What the hell is this?"
"Can you be more efficient? By the time you swing the bat, the sun will have set."
"Eating rice fields can't catch up with the heat!"
These guys spoke without politeness.
But at this moment, John had no intention of paying attention to them.
All of John's attention was on the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.
Failed?
John was shocked when he missed the swing just now.
With the Sharingan activated, he actually didn't hit the ball?
If the Uchiha clan in another dimension knew about this, they would be so angry that they would crawl out of their graves.
What exactly was the problem?
John quickly figured out the key.
There was nothing wrong with his eyes, they were just not coordinated with his body.
With the blessing of the Sharingan, John could see the trajectory of the baseball and even see where it landed.
There was nothing wrong with that.
In fact, the final landing point of the baseball was exactly the same as what John had seen before.
Theoretically, it would be easy for the batter to hit the ball if he had completely seen where the baseball would land.
But the problem was that John's body couldn't keep up.
Although he saw where the baseball would land, by the time he swung the bat to the right position, the baseball had already flown past him.
"There's one more chance!"
"You must not miss this time."
Without waiting for John to think about it, Carl threw the third pitch.
He didn't waste the strikes, but aimed directly at the strike zone.
After two consecutive inside corner balls, he stuffed the third pitch into the outside corner.
There was a huge gap between the inside and the outside.
Rachel Thompson, who was watching the match in the dugout, suddenly felt her eyes light up.
"Beautiful!"
Not only was the pitch beautiful, but the strategy was also good.
Judging from the current results, Carl is already a very mature pitcher.
Unlike Rachel Thompson, the players on their team had already turned their heads away.
They didn't want to watch this kind of failure.
However, just as they turned their heads, they suddenly heard a different sound in their ears.
"Ping!"
It was the sound of a bat hitting a baseball.
"Hit it?"
Everyone turned back in disbelief.
When they turned back, what they saw was the scene of a white baseball being hit and flying.
Those who were defending obviously didn't expect it. When they came to their senses and wanted to stop the ball, it was too late.
The baseball bounced off the ground and ran to the outfield.
The second base runner, who had been prepared, rushed all the way across third base and returned directly to home base.
"On base!"
"One point!"
The total score is 5:5...
All this happened so quickly.
So when the red team reacted, they didn't know what had just happened.
"Why was the baseball hit?"
