Kuramochi looked at the speed gun in his hand, staring at the numbers displayed on it. After about two seconds, just when Isashiki Jun was getting impatient and couldn't restrain himself from acting, Kuramochi's face suddenly broke into a particularly sincere smile.
"What a monster!"
"How fast is it?"
"148.5 kilometers per hour!"
Everyone was already accustomed to Zhang Han's left-handed pitching speed.
But in the past six months, he hadn't practiced pitching with his right hand at all, and yet his pitching speed had soared to such a degree?
"Maybe it's just good luck..."
"No matter how good his luck is, this growth rate is too ridiculous. It's a whole different level! And, this probably isn't his limit either."
After all, Zhang Han had just entered the field and hadn't even warmed up.
No matter how you look at it, the pitching he just threw couldn't possibly be his fastest.
"Doesn't that mean this kid might..."
Isashiki Jun's words got stuck halfway.
He didn't dare to imagine further, fearing that the imagined result would scare him.
"I don't know yet, we'll have to see him throw a few more pitches!"
Yuuki's expression also began to turn serious.
Zhang Han's Fastball itself didn't have any other special characteristics; it was just incredibly fast.
Such an ordinary Fastball is often easy for people to find the trajectory of.
It's somewhat similar to a pitching machine.
This is also why Coach Kataoka and the Coach team believed that Zhang Han's pitching had no development potential.
Of course, there was also a very important prerequisite.
The prerequisite was when Zhang Han's pitching speed only maintained around 140 kilometers per hour.
When the pitching speed increases to a certain level, even if Zhang Han's pitching has no other special characteristics, the pitching will still have power.
Zhang Han's left-handed pitching was highly regarded precisely because he could average over 150 kilometers per hour with every pitching.
At his peak, he could even pitch up to 157 kilometers per hour.
This became Zhang Han's unique characteristic and strength.
Previously, because his right hand couldn't continue to increase pitching speed, Zhang Han switched to practicing with his left hand.
Now, his right-handed pitching speed has also increased.
"There's a saying, 'The stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade.' When practicing left-handed pitching, Zhang Han wasn't just practicing pitching. He also strengthened his lower body and waist strength. Perhaps it's precisely because these strengths have improved that his pitching speed has naturally increased as well."
Miyuki, on the other hand, was very happy.
He was one of the few people on the team who knew that Zhang Han's left hand couldn't pitch a lot.
This was also the biggest dilemma their team currently faced.
If Zhang Han could also develop his right-handed pitching speed, then the Ace of the team would likely be none other than him.
With a stable Ace, plus the strongest hitting lineup in the country, Seido High School Baseball Team this year might truly achieve great things.
The First-string players, though surprised by Zhang Han's right-handed pitching speed, were more delighted.
However, the players in the Freshman Team dugout were completely different.
Before, when they watched Zhang Han strike out opponents with his Fastball from the stands, they were very happy.
But now, it was their turn to face Zhang Han Senior's Fastball.
Their mood took a complete 180-degree turn; they even felt like hitting a wall.
How were they supposed to hit such a fast pitching?
Even Kominato Haruichi, seeing Zhang Han's pitching speed and facing such a Fastball for the first time, could only stare blankly!
Kominato Haruichi watched with wide eyes as the white ball flew past him again and again.
"Strike!"
"Strike!!"
"Strike!!!"
"Strike out!!!"
By the last pitch, Kominato Haruichi gritted his teeth and swung his bat.
But unfortunately, he was still a little slow. By the time he swung the bat, the white ball had already passed through a step ahead.
Kominato Haruichi was directly struck out.
"Good!"
The First-string teammates were particularly happy to see this.
They had long been annoyed with those two first-years who had scored points earlier, and now that Zhang Han could teach them a good lesson, everyone was happy to see it happen.
"He's really putting in his full effort, pitching so well..."
Kominato Ryosuke was also smiling, seemingly as happy as his teammates around him.
It's just that for some reason, the First-string players felt the air around them was a bit cold.
This guy, he couldn't be a brother complex, could he?
The game continued, and next to step into the hitting box was the Fourth batter, Jinguuji.
Before stepping into the hitting box, this guy's desire to hit was practically gushing out of his eyes.
He crossed paths with the dejected Kominato Haruichi.
"How does it feel?"
Jinguuji appeared impatient on the surface, but in reality, he didn't miss the opportunity to gather information.
"Very fast, it arrives in the blink of an eye. By the time I wanted to swing, it was already too late!"
Kominato Haruichi shared.
Jinguuji's expression slightly darkened.
Is it that fast?
Looking at the reactions of those around him, it seemed pretty close.
With such a fast pitching, waiting to see the trajectory before swinging would probably be too late.
You have to act in advance, calculate the trajectory beforehand, and swing the bat before the baseball arrives.
You need to find the right rhythm, after the baseball is pitched...
"Strike!"
"Strike!!"
"Strike!!!"
"Strike out!!!"
As soon as Zhang Han came on, he got two consecutive strikeouts.
The ones who were struck out were none other than the two guys who had scored points for the Freshman Team.
