Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived

The white baseball drew a huge arc in the sky and fell into the stands in the outfield.

"Pop!"

"Zhang Han!"

In the stands, the fans in the front row were the first to scream.

Immediately after, the supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team also refused to be outdone.

"Zhang Han has hit a Homerun to tie the score! This game, which had seemingly been decided, has taken an unexpected turn again. Who will ultimately win? Now…"

The commentator spoke passionately, but his voice was completely drowned out by the cheers of the fans.

The fans in the stands didn't even hear clearly what he was saying.

But it didn't matter; even if they couldn't hear clearly, they could guess.

The score was tied.

No matter how passionately the commentator spoke, the final result was this.

And for the supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team, knowing this result was already enough.

In the dugout of Seido High School Baseball Team.

The teammates stood up excitedly, clapping their hands non-stop.

Kuramochi even cupped his hands around his mouth, forming a megaphone, and yelled excitedly.

Making such a gesture in the dugout was, of course, very ungraceful. But the teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team and the supporters in the stands were simply too excited at the moment.

They didn't pay attention to such minor details.

Coach Ochiai also had a look of awe.

Earlier, he had just predicted that Seido High School Baseball Team would likely find it very difficult to find any more opportunities.

This was definitely not about beating his own players. Even now, Coach Ochiai did not believe there was anything wrong with his analysis.

If there was anything he hadn't expected, it was probably only Zhang Han's performance at the hitting plate.

The players of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team were definitely not bad, especially their Ace, who was one in a generation.

However, Zhang Han's talent might even surpass Narumiya Mei, who was one in a generation.

He was no longer just one in a generation; he was very likely a super genius who appeared only once in several generations.

As their opponent, Inashiro Industrial undoubtedly felt the most complex emotions right now.

Their players' eyes were wide, some even had their mouths agape, staring dumbfounded at Zhang Han, who had already run to First Base, preparing to round the bases and return to home plate.

He actually hit Narumiya Mei's unique gyroball?

And from the result just now, Zhang Han didn't just hit it; he hit the ball out of the stadium.

He tied the score in one fell swoop.

No matter how much confidence they had in their own Ace Pitcher, the players of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team had to admit that Narumiya Mei's performance in the extra innings might not be ideal.

Narumiya Mei's overall performance in today's game was very strong.

Seido High School Baseball Team, known as the National First Batting Line, was completely suppressed by him.

If it weren't for Yuuki, Zhang Han…

Narumiya Mei even had a high probability of directly shutting out Seido High School Baseball Team in today's game.

It was Narumiya Mei's performance that allowed Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team to maintain a lead for a long time previously.

But there's a give and take.

During the process of Narumiya Mei suppressing the batters of Seido High School Baseball Team, his own consumption was also very high.

After that last pitch, Narumiya Mei's pitch count had already exceeded 120.

Now the last inning hasn't even ended…

If they play extra innings, Narumiya Mei's stamina will be very worrying.

On the other hand, for Seido High School Baseball Team, Zhang Han only came on in the sixth inning. Plus, his pitch speed was so fast that he basically didn't waste many pitches, and he successfully got many outs.

When he finished pitching in the top of the ninth inning just now, Coach Kunimoto had asked the scorekeeper how many pitches Zhang Han had thrown.

The answer they received was 41 pitches.

At first, the players of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team didn't quite understand what that number meant.

It was only now that they truly understood the meaning of Coach Kunimoto's words back then.

If the game went into extra innings, the challenge Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team would face would be much greater than that of Seido High School Baseball Team.

But they realized it too late now.

Seido High School Baseball Team had already tied the score, and even if they got the remaining two outs, today's game would probably…

In the dugout of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team.

Coach Kunimoto didn't call a timeout at first.

But their players all seemed to have been put on pause. Narumiya Mei also had an angry expression, looking at Zhang Han with unwillingness.

Just as the umpire opened his mouth to say something, Coach Kunimoto suddenly stood up and requested a timeout.

"Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team requests a timeout!"

All of Inashiro's players, even those in the outfield, were called to the pitcher's mound.

But strangely, Coach Kunimoto only called the timeout for everyone and did not give further instructions, nor did he send a player to relay orders.

Harada, Narumiya Mei, Shirakawa, Yoshizawa, Carlos…

These players from Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team gathered on the pitcher's mound, looking at each other with bewildered expressions.

Perhaps because the situation was so awkward, they had even forgotten the predicament they were currently in.

"What exactly does Coach mean?" Shirakawa muttered.

Despite his gentle appearance, Shirakawa actually had quite a temper.

"He's probably very dissatisfied with our performance just now," Carlos said with a frown.

"If he's dissatisfied, he should say it to our faces, why make us guess? It's fine normally, but at a time like this, is it the time to be thinking about these things?"

"If we can't figure out these problems, even if we go back on the field, our performance probably won't satisfy Coach."

Harada trusted Coach Kunimoto very much. Since Coach Kunimoto made such an arrangement, he believed Coach Kunimoto must have some plan.

The players of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team fell into deep self-doubt. They didn't understand what their Coach was really up to.

As opponents, seeing the players of Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team act this way, the players of Seido High School Baseball Team should have reacted accordingly.

But right now, they couldn't bother.

Zhang Han, who had run a lap around the field and returned to home plate, looked very unwell.

He looked exceptionally tired, barely dragging his body back to the dugout.

After returning to the dugout, he closed his eyes, plopped down on the bench, and remained completely still.

His hands gently massaged his temples.

The teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team immediately noticed something was wrong.

They gathered around Zhang Han in unison, wanting to see what was wrong with the Ace who had just made a great contribution to the team.

There was only a little over a month until the Summer Tournament began.

If something unexpected happened to Zhang Han at this time, even if Seido High School Baseball Team managed to come back and win this game, the teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team wouldn't be happy at all.

If something happened to Zhang Han, they would not only lose a core strong hitter but also a guaranteed Ace.

Although Coach Kataoka had never told everyone in Seido High School Baseball Team the true situation of Zhang Han, everyone was not foolish.

Through various arrangements made by Coach Kataoka and the coaching staff, they had basically pieced together Zhang Han's situation.

After all, while pitchers like Zhang Han were not very common, there were always a few.

Especially after the new millennium, with the popularization of information technology, some things that were originally kept secret have now become open secrets.

By comparing him to the two pitchers who previously reached a speed of 160 kilometers per hour, they easily deduced why Zhang Han couldn't truly serve as the team's Ace.

It was simply that too much force breaks easily. Using such an excessive pitch speed before his body was fully developed came at too high a cost.

However, not being able to use it often doesn't mean it can't be brought out to save the day in critical situations.

After the new millennium, weren't the other two monsters who threw 160 km/h fastballs contributing to their teams in this way?

It's just that their luck was a bit worse; one never made it to Koshien. The other, after entering Koshien, was eliminated in the second round.

The only one truly likely to let everyone enjoy a speed feast at Koshien Stadium in the future will probably be Zhang Han.

For the teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team, Zhang Han only needed to step onto the pitcher's mound at crucial moments to stabilize the situation.

The sense of stability in the hearts of Seido High School Baseball players would instantly increase several times over.

But if he couldn't, or if something unexpected happened to Zhang Han, then this summer…

"What happened?"

Not only were the players anxious, but several of the team's bigwigs also gathered around like ants on a hot pan.

Manager Ota stood on the outermost edge, rubbing his hands non-stop.

"What should we do…"

He was worried not only about today's game but also about the upcoming Summer Tournament.

Coach Kataoka, on the other hand, actively moved closer to Zhang Han.

Even the resolute Kataoka felt very complicated at this moment.

It seemed like fate particularly enjoyed playing tricks on him. Chris was injured, Tanba had also been injured, and Zhang Han, who only had minor injuries before, was now closing his eyes and constantly rubbing…

He even had a vague, bad premonition in his heart.

Zhang Han shook his head, indicating he was fine.

But looking at his current condition, how could people easily believe what he said?

"What exactly is going on?" Coach Kataoka's tone sounded several times stricter than before.

Zhang Han sighed helplessly and honestly opened his eyes.

It felt exactly the same as before; everyone in front of him was clearly imprinted in his vision.

Receiving too much information at once made Zhang Han very uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes again, then opened them, repeating this several times, and this strange sensation finally lessened a bit.

"I don't know why, but the pitch just now looked especially slow. For a moment, I even saw the texture of the baseball."

When the teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team heard Zhang Han's reply, their original worries instantly vanished without a trace.

This hateful scoundrel.

It's just that his dynamic vision is so good, he doesn't need to specifically act it out to show off in front of them.

He's simply a drama queen.

The teammates who had gathered out of concern immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Only Kataoka and Chris exchanged a thoughtful glance.

Zhang Han had strong dynamic vision before, but his dynamic vision was a bit different from ordinary dynamic vision.

His vision was a type of dynamic vision, which should be called instantaneous vision.

When he fully concentrated on something, for example, when he was hitting, when the pitcher threw the ball, Zhang Han's eyes instantly recorded the action.

He not only recorded this action but also performed deductions and reactions.

Therefore, Zhang Han had a strange ability; he seemed to be able to predict the direction the baseball would come from.

Excellent boxers also have similar abilities, observing their opponent's movements through dynamic vision, predicting their movements, and reacting.

The speed of a boxer's punch is very fast, and everyone's distance is so close. If they waited for their eyes to see it, then for the information to reach the brain, and then for the brain to command the body to react, the boxers in the ring would probably have fallen in droves long ago.

The reason they can persist, and some can even nimbly dodge during a flurry of attacks, is precisely due to this dynamic vision, which is instantaneous vision.

Besides this, there is another type of dynamic vision. Excellent baseball players occasionally achieve it.

If you write a character on a baseball and then throw the ball at a pitcher's speed, some people can clearly see the character written on the baseball while hitting.

They even have an illusion that the baseball is flying very slowly.

According to what Zhang Han just said, his dynamic vision has clearly improved further.

He can not only judge the direction of the baseball but even see through the pitch…

"Don't worry, this isn't a bad thing. After today's game, we'll do some corresponding exercises, and you should be able to overcome this discomfort."

Chris said with a smile.

Although Coach Kataoka didn't speak, he nodded slightly when Chris began to explain.

It seemed that his opinion was very consistent with Chris's.

"But this discomfort is really awkward. If this game still needs extra innings, my condition might be affected to some extent…"

Zhang Han was not a person who liked to hide potential problems.

If there was any problem, even if it was his own, he would state it bluntly.
