>>1

This guy is already cute.

>>96

Fact

I have already come to think of this guy as my cute bragging junior.

>>118

Ino! Let’s create a constellation together!

The standard youth baseball manga.

>>2

I wish you would do your best in the summer of sixteen and the summer of seventeen too…

>>6

At the beginning of the story, the sadistic glasses are mentioned.

This year, miraculously, talent has gathered at an ordinary high school.

He probably knows that from next year onwards, it will be no good anymore.

This guy is 15 years old…

>>8

It seems like someone is putting poison on a knife or licking the knife.

It seems like this guy will probably move on to the next game as soon as he unlocks the achievement for publishing a book about going to Koshien.

The evaluation of this manga character keeps getting updated in every episode…

>>11

I’m starting to become unsure whether the director is innocent or erotic.

I will hit a shot dedicated to my 16th summer, which is my birthday in the summer.

It might be good to transfer to a strong school after achieving results at Koshien and aim for Koshien again.

Good grief, I’ve become too fast for no reason, I can feel my first-year high school syndrome.

If we’re not careful, we might spend the summer of the 16th next week.

Is this guy just really good at bunting?

>>19

It’s like someone who has only accumulated an extraordinarily unique type of practice.

If you just want to play baseball normally, spending time on something like this is completely meaningless, but since I’m not aiming to be a professional baseball player and if the person is satisfied with it, then that should be fine.

>>22

I’m not aiming to become a professional baseball player; in fact, I only see baseball as a tool.

>>23

It’s unscrupulous, isn’t it…?

I don’t know much about baseball, but for some reason, I can enjoy watching it even though I don’t know anything at the moment.

According to Kobori’s recollection, they are properly practicing for situational hitting in scoring positions and crucial defense.

The success of a bunt fly is a prerequisite, and if it perfectly lands in the pitcher’s defensive range but they fail to catch it and let it drop… at that point, no matter how hard you try, it becomes a gamble.

With a strong bunt failure and sluggish baserunning, laying the groundwork.

Furthermore, due to being mentally pressured, the voices from the infield do not reach my ears.

Failed bunt, little fly ball, intentional drop for an infield hit, all safe…

It’s no doubt that I practiced a lot, but after just 2 months of playing baseball, it’s only super geniuses who can hit a pitch of that caliber like a Toru-class.

The bunting technique I honed for facing Kiriyama should work against Todoroki as well…

Character performance is inflating too much; I wonder what will happen next.

Ino is just a protagonist type with a villainous face, isn’t he…

>>32

Um… this protagonist is like in One Naughts or Iron Pot’s Jan, right…?

Inou’s result from putting in an immense amount of effort in a short time is only at a level of being reasonably skilled, so the worldview is similar to that of a captain.

The man who mastered MOBA and disappeared, estimated to be under 14 years old.

Baseball is a sport that requires teamwork!! (bad face)

It’s cool how, for just this moment, he has the face of a man who has worked incredibly hard…

Is this level of skill on par with professional standards for an average person?

>>37

Even professionals do not practice intentionally turning bunts into pop flies, and the success rate for sacrifice bunts is about 80%.

A sacrifice bunt is considered successful as long as the runner advances, even if it deviates somewhat from the intended target, so aiming for the exact spot significantly decreases the chances of success.

Inspired by seniors who are smarter and more talented than me, I work hard not to lose.

He’s a dedicated rookie striving to make it to the bench.

With this face

Baseball has turn-based play, and it’s quite complicated among sports…

The pinnacle of high school baseball honestly cannot be won by one person’s skill alone.

>>42

If the goal is to participate in Koshien, it is possible to aim for that with a so-called one-man team, and there have been instances in the past.

If Kiryama didn’t get injured, he seems like he could win alone.

>>43

I think it will end in a draw by just avoiding it, similar to the Holy Tele defensive strategy.

The Minecraft avatar was too ostentatious.

What he’s doing is wicked, but since he only uses straightforward methods, it’s refreshing, isn’t it?

>>45

It’s neither the correct method nor refreshing.

It seems like there might be a hacker among my relatives.

With no outs and runners on first and third, the opponent is really rattled… It seems like we can execute various attacks…

When I read it while thinking, “Isn’t this going to be a bunt fly?!”, it turned out to be a strategy based on that premise.

The Three Bants are explained in a plain manner, huh?

>>51

The teacher is not good with dirty jokes, you know!?

>>51

Since it’s on a 2-strike count, if I fail, it’s over, so there’s no need to delve deeper than this…

No matter how hard I try, I just can’t hit against the number one ace in high school.

A man who has been tirelessly practicing bunts and base running, turning his brain at full capacity for the strategy of getting on base and advancing bases.

When you look closely at the Mobur people, sometimes you can tell them apart and sometimes you can’t.

Sideburns are probably strong.

You were aiming for the first bunt to intentionally be a foul, weren’t you?

After this, it’s Hirose, one of the few hitters who seems capable of hitting properly, versus Todoroki, whose mental state is really shaky.

A man like him wouldn’t just lose due to lack of speed and not improve, but I didn’t realize that his slow running was a bluff, so I’m a Gaburian…

>>59

I thought you were up to something.

In the context of the play, the time is roughly from yesterday to today, so I couldn’t foresee that it had already improved.

You’re bad at running, but you’re finishing too quickly.

I have the brains, effort, and talent to not only devise plans but also to execute them.

After this practice match, it wouldn’t be surprising if we transition to the regional tournament or the Koshien finals.

Bunting despite the point difference.

Level 2 is to swing.

Bunt fly on the third pitch.

It’s way too different from the other game.

This guy was confident that he could deceive even the keen observation skills that could see through Kiryama’s injury.

>>66

There is no need to deceive the observing eye, and I don’t think it is being deceived.

What Tohsaka can discern is the high or low ability in baseball, and here the specific content of the trick strategy is important.

Godo’s observational skills are not the ability to read minds.

>>66

What Inou saw was that Todoroki wanted to perform a super play even if it meant straining himself in order to regain his confidence.

That’s why I guided them in a way that would make them want to perform super plays.

Todoroki also got caught up in that and doubted the results of his observations, which led him to believe that Ino was slow on his feet.

No matter how keen your powers of observation are, if you can’t make the right judgment due to a collapse of confidence, it has been pointless.

I wondered why both aces were on the brink of being broken, even though it was just a practice match.

It’s a match for my ace’s durability experiment from the very beginning.

I’ve awakened, but I want to win anyway, and the opponent’s ace will be broken for Ino’s rise to success.

>>67

Also, if we don’t break it as much as possible, there’s a chance that Kiryama will notice the elbow.

Thus, it destroys both the observational skills and the team’s bonds.

In the end, my intense personality that drives me to work hard in various fields has led me to “discover” things.

In fact, I realized this situation and ended up valuing Inou even higher.

With that face, you wouldn’t say baseball is a sport that requires teamwork.

>>70

The objective is to destroy the trust relationship of the opponent’s team, so it fits the situation.

The experiment during the actual performance is seriously risky…

Is this guy Toyotomi Hideyoshi?

In the end, Inou isn’t standing at the plate to play baseball, but to demonstrate his own worth by breaking down Todoroki, so it is ultimately a form of individual play.

>>76

That said, this “having them discover my intention and getting them to buy at a high price” is

It’s meaningful precisely because I value my companions.

Even though they have a genius talent, they work hard in secret and respect those around them, which is impressive.

>>77

But once the three years are over, you’ll quit, right?

>>81

I wonder if promising stocks will come in the new year…

Yeah, they probably quit completely and are playing a different game.

He’s the kind of man who can turn even the enemy team into allies.

With the force of Todoroki’s fastball, conversely.

If you make contact, it seems likely to become a pop fly.

I knew about the infield fly rule, but I didn’t know it doesn’t apply when there’s no outs and a runner on first base.

Who decided on something this complicated?

They don’t realize that it’s strange for a slow runner like a bunter to come out as a pinch hitter in the first place.

If I publish this, it seems like I might casually join the shogi club.

The bunt fly is adjusted to a height where even a slow runner can catch a double play, right?

>>89

If it’s too high, it’ll be taken; if it’s too low, it won’t be taken and will roll away, so it really needs to be just the right height. If you’re aiming for it, hitting is actually easier.

If all the players on the bench were three horses.

Ino, you idiot! You only got lucky and ended up safe!

It will end up being.

In a scene where Inou is taken aback while Kobori excitedly talks about the purpose of this practice match.

>>91

Everyone is a bit crazy and smart in different ways.

Bitter Youth

Ino-kun, your family is buying it at a normal high price, right?

In the first place, I judge that this year is a lucky year with the possibility of going to Koshien.

I only thought of the infield fly rule as a rule to prevent a triple play, so I didn’t know the finer details.

Inou even admires the intelligence of his seniors.

The reason for Saint Tere’s defeat seems to be that there weren’t enough guys who wanted to see more various explosions!

That summer at 16, I would probably be fully dedicated to writing about participating in Koshien and winning, right?

Baseball is merely a means to ambition, but he is a wicked man who secretly puts in effort to hone his bunting and base running skills and fully trusts and utilizes the strength of each teammate.

Hirose’s comprehension skills are too high.

If you hold the bat like this, you’ll get scolded for crushing your fingers and breaking a bone.

Sanma awakens, and Kiriyama’s options increase, and Inou seems to be able to get on the bench, and Todoroki breaks down, it was a good culmination of events…

Until this moment, no one could seriously hit Todoroki’s pitch.

>>105

The only hope is Hirose, the team’s best batter, who is in the fourth position.

From here, the defense line, which is losing focus due to the mental turmoil and conflict with Todoroki, is facing the opponent.

Bunting is something you understand better once you try it, but it’s inherently difficult to make contact with the bat in the first place.

If that’s the case, then it would have been better to just hit normally from the beginning, to the extent that it’s being debated among both professionals and amateurs.

Due to hard work, they are extremely specialized in bunting (a light fly ball) and baserunning, but if you average out their batting and fielding, they are neither good nor bad.

Then I somewhat understood becoming a Minecraft man from Todoroki’s perspective.

Hirose-kun really likes Inou-kun a lot, doesn’t he…?

Because I discovered it myself.

Today, I had no hits and one error.

The key to the plan being one’s own skill is what I find attractive.

>>110

The depiction of the effort behind the scenes is already included by the time of the match with Kiriyama…

No, the growth rate is unusual.

In this practice match, various intentions are intersecting.

It’s crazy enough to hit normally, but turning it into a sacrificed fly for the pitcher is something else entirely.

Inou’s actions may lean towards being a solo play, but fundamentally, they are based on the trust in his teammates, starting with Kiriyama.

Baseball is not an objective, but a means.

However, if you’re going to do it, do it to the fullest.

It’s the same here, but with these two, it seems like they’re operating under the assumption that they will recognize my cunning image strategy and intent, and that they will evaluate it properly.

I have trust that these people are smarter than me!

It’s great when a strategy guy with a carefree attitude suddenly has a very serious expression.

I was completely drawn into Inō’s scheme and ended up falling in love.

Well, it’s fine to be taken along for this.

It’s also true that Tokumoto-kun will likely stick to the double play.

You’re the type who can read people, right, Inou-kun?

So interesting!!

In this world

Born into this world

I’m glad~~!!

>>121

I guess they must be thinking this every time they face a strong opponent while changing genres.

It seems that some overly confident celebrity has released an autobiography! When I read it, I thought, wow, this person really is trying hard…

The sense of wit in risking not everything, but fifteen summers.

If anything, during the summer of sixteen, I was playing a different game, but still, a single summer as a high school student is a heavy chip.

Usually appears to be carefree and lacks motivation, but…

Someone who spares no effort in acquiring the necessary skills.

>>128

The one who looks like they are carefree and lacking motivation is first climbing the school building walls to sneak a peek on the third floor, which is really strange.

Until then, I had been thinking relatively close to Toru’s perspective, but after gaining experience, I realized that everyone is properly thinking for themselves, so I don’t think there was a level of “I’m glad I was born into this world” that was quite like that.

I challenged my senpai to a match and lost.

To practice bunting and base running in order to be recognized and make the bench becomes a part of a coming-of-age novel.

Koshien RTA Man

The author’s way of crafting stories is too skillful…

>>132

You were doing it, right!?

>>134

I was doing it!

>>134

You’re just praising me because you don’t care!

15…? Is it the number of something that was sacrificed?

Is this guy really 15 years old?

A man who devoted his youth to baseball, teaching the arrogant ace of a one-man team the importance of teamwork through play.

If Masaru-chan is an easy-to-understand, cunningly cute popular figure, then Iino is a genius that makes you think, “But I know the good points about this guy…”

The junior who is calculating all of this and putting in effort for that becomes a point-earning target, and the more you bite into it, the more their enchanting charm emerges, like an irresistible allure.

I want to create constellations together.

>>137

I don’t understand the feeling of liking someone…

Is it heresy?

What kind of observational skills do you have that make you realize the three-pitch limit once you calm down a bit?

>>139

What do you mean, I’m a genius…

>>139

Hero

The character design of a strategist who seems like a loser, but is putting in an immense amount of effort behind the scenes is really great.

I’m putting too much effort into unlocking game achievements…

Throbbing

With this face, personality, and character, it’s hard to believe that there are no stupid people in this world! That’s just funny!

That’s unfair.

In the final episode, the one who gets absorbed in the game of leading his team to Koshien under his own strategy while being the captain!

It’s nice to think that if this had failed, they might have completely quit baseball.

Double play is an erotic term, huh…

It seems like they take “too fast” quite literally.

I feel like I slightly messed up my stat distribution.

Thanks to the teacher, I can gradually learn the rules of baseball.

Teachers should have the right to vote too, right?

However, it’s too strange of a team to have three strategy-type intelligence characters with different directions.

>>153

It’s a team that has already been playing data baseball since the very first match…

>>153

The one who shows the maximum power before the match.

It’s divided into those who can show their maximum power during the match.

What he’s set up isn’t baseball, it’s a psychological battle, you know?

>>157

I’m playing a different game!

>>157

What’s terrible is that I don’t actually want to engage in psychological warfare; it’s merely a means to an end.

The baseball skills necessary to establish a psychological battle are problematic in the first place…

One day, during this guy’s last at-bat, the camera will zoom out and eventually move towards a TV in some café, and we might find out the result.

I might be seeing someone betting their youth on a practice match for the first time.

This guy looks like a strategist character and it’s really great that he doesn’t hold back on his efforts.

It’s cute that you’re training properly.

In the end, the goal this time is just a heartfelt desire to be recognized by my seniors and make it onto the bench…
