Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived

On the stands.

When some fans saw Coach Kataoka's substitution, their hearts were filled with confusion.

"The game is only one run apart. Could it be that Seido High School Baseball Team has already given up on winning the game?"

Otherwise, it's really inexplicable why they would send a teenager who just entered high school less than two months ago onto the field at this time.

If you're talking about an ordinary public high school, it's understandable to use a newcomer as a dark horse due to lack of personnel or strength.

Seido High School Baseball Team is a powerhouse. Even if it doesn't show off in the powerhouse, it's a genuine top powerhouse and enjoys the reputation of having the National First Batting Line.

Not to mention the players fighting on the field, each of them has strong hitting ability.

Even their substitute players have many strong hitters. For example, Chris, for example, Miyauchi, and for example…

From the perspective of Seido High School Baseball Team's staunch supporters, they believe that even if the team wants to change pinch hitters and adjust the rhythm, they shouldn't send an inexperienced first-year player onto the field.

It's too reckless…

"Didn't Zhang Han also make a splash last year? The honors Jinguuji won in junior high were even greater than Zhang Han's."

There were also a few die-hard fans of Coach Kataoka who stubbornly defended Coach Kataoka.

It's just that their reason for defending him was really a bit untenable.

The fan who first raised the question rolled his eyes directly and retorted.

"Do you think everyone is Zhang Han?"

This left the other person speechless.

There are more players who won honors in junior high than Zhang Han, not to mention the whole country, even in Tokyo, you can count more than a handful.

But after entering high school?

Although many of those players also became famous, such as Narumiya Mei, Hoshida, and Carlos.

But there are also some who haven't made a name for themselves yet.

The only one who could truly make a magnificent transformation after entering high school like Zhang Han was him.

Even the staunch supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team don't believe that anyone can easily replicate such a miracle.

Fujio listened to the discussions of the fans around him and had a feeling that everyone else was drunk, and only he was sober.

Unlike those ordinary fans who didn't understand why Coach Kataoka was doing this.

Fujio knew why Kataoka was doing this.

That's why he would say that Kataoka is really smart.

Narumiya Mei's strength shown in today's game is beyond doubt. And looking at the opponent's state, if Seido High School Baseball Team doesn't make changes, the probability of completely defeating this pitcher in the last two innings is probably minimal.

So Seido High School Baseball Team must take action now.

But how to take action?

This depends on how Coach Kataoka views Narumiya Mei.

There are two main reasons why Narumiya Mei can perform as he does now. One is his outstanding strength, and the other is his sufficient understanding of the current players on the Seido High School Baseball Team.

If Seido High School Baseball Team wants to deal with him, they can only start from these two aspects.

Strength is definitely out of the question.

All of Seido High School Baseball Team's First string players are currently on the field. Only Zhang Han had a slight advantage when facing Narumiya Mei.

Yuuki at most only fought Narumiya Mei to a draw.

As for the others, they couldn't even get a decent hit. It can be said that they were completely suppressed by Narumiya Mei, with no power to fight back at all.

In this situation, would it really be effective for ordinary substitute players from Seido High School to be sent up as pinch hitters?

Probably not.

Since strength is not feasible, they can only start with players Narumiya Mei doesn't know well enough.

You know, even many of Seido High School Baseball Team's substitute hitters are on Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's radar.

For example, Chris, Miyauchi, and so on.

If they were sent up as pinch hitters, the final result would probably be no different from Seido High School Baseball Team's current First string starters.

In this situation, to be able to think of sending a first-year player onto the field and boldly put it into action.

Just this point alone makes Coach Kataoka an excellent Coach.

Jinguuji had been eager to try for a long time, and after stepping into the batter's box, he showed no stage fright at all.

His big eyes were locked on Narumiya Mei, ready to hit the ball at any moment.

Harada glanced at Jinguuji, frowning slightly.

Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team had made a lot of preparations against Seido High School Baseball Team's players.

Even Zhang Han, whom they thought would not go to the pitcher's mound, they put effort into researching him and conducted targeted training for his pitch.

Having reached this point, Inashiro has clearly regarded Seido High School Baseball Team as its biggest opponent.

As long as they believed there was a point that threatened them, they carried out corresponding practices and transformed these practices into a part of their bodies.

So that they could perform at any time during the game.

The targets of their targeted practice were not only the current First string players of Seido High School.

They didn't even ignore several excellent substitutes from Seido.

But now, this first-year teenager who just stepped into the batter's box is clearly not among them.

Before, he had hardly played, let alone performed exceptionally well.

Even if Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team prepared ever so carefully, it would be impossible to take out Jinguuji's junior high school data for research.

On the one hand, it simply wouldn't make any sense. On the other hand, Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team didn't have that much time.

Unexpectedly, in this crucial situation, Coach Kataoka would send this teenager onto the field?

"Don't have such a stiff expression, senior."

Narumiya Mei was a little dissatisfied with his partner's performance.

It was as if he was afraid that the people from Seido High School Baseball Team wouldn't be able to tell that they weren't prepared.

"Isn't he just a little first-year kid? So what if we're not prepared? I don't believe he can make any waves."

"Whoosh!"

Compared to his partner's hesitation, Narumiya Mei's movements were incredibly clean and sharp.

He hardly gave Jinguuji any time to prepare, directly throwing the baseball in his hand.

Fast.

So fast.

From Jinguuji's perspective, the baseball had just emerged and was already in front of him.

Logically speaking, this pitch speed shouldn't be difficult for Jinguuji.

After all, he had practiced many times with Furuya Satoru before. Hitting a Fastball with a speed of 150 kilometers was not an impossible task for him.

But standing in the batter's box, Jinguuji realized that although the maximum pitch speed of both was around 150 kilometers, they were completely different.

Furuya Satoru's pitch was like a rampant monster, looking fierce, but without a precise target.

As long as he prepared well, he could still handle it.

But Narumiya Mei's pitch was different; it was not only fast but also had a clear target.
