In the world of sports, where any successful performance attracts a dazzling spotlight, the world of sports has produced many heroes as well as many “vanished geniuses.” Among the articles published on NumberWeb so far, we are republishing the most popular articles related to “genius athletes.” This time it’s Kazuki Morio’s edition from high school baseball!
He glares at me with a devilish look. His spirit transfers to the ball and strikes the batter.
One more person. Taking a deep breath and pausing, her face contorts as if she’s about to burst into tears.
Kazutaka Morio, a student at Nishi Nippon Junior College, had both extreme emotions.
“At the end, I was pitching with the feeling, “I’m definitely not going to lose…I can’t afford to lose here!” but I think somewhere inside of me was thinking, “We’ve finally come this far.” That’s why. , I was trying to suppress what was welling up in me.”
30 years ago, “Tetsuwan” pitched a complete game in every Koshien tournament.
Summer 1992. Morio stood proudly on the mound in the Koshien final.
The final inning was 1-0. He puts out a runner with two outs and steals a base to advance the runner into scoring position. Welcoming Takashi Tachikawa, No. 5 of Takudai Koryo. Morio knew that he had hit a dramatic come-from-behind home run in the 9th inning in the quarterfinals, and was naturally wary. After all, a single hit would tie the score, and allowing one shot would mean a reversal.
However, I had no intention of being hit.
“I didn’t feel like I was in a pinch. I knew Tachikawa had hit a come-from-behind home run, but strangely I didn’t feel like I was going to lose or get hit. We can win. That’s the only thing on my mind. There was no”
Even though he had a two-faced expression on his face, Morio remained calm. He shakes his head at the signal from the catcher and comes off the mound. Then, he hit Tachikawa with a straight from the inside corner to a third fly ball and thrust his arms high into the air in the center of Koshien.
This summer, Morio was nicknamed “Tetsuwan.”
He pitched complete games in all five games at Koshien, allowing only one run. He pitched 45 innings and had four walks. His sense of stability earned him praise as a “precision machine.”
Perfect pitching. Morio doesn’t call his own performance “too good.”
