soul of baseball

Chapter 138 Get Ready
The game against Zhangnan High School was even more lively than yesterday!After all, it’s the home court!A lot of people came to support Zhangnan.

Shen Qin was a little hesitant. After passing Yuri's email, he always felt that he was not qualified to squat behind the home plate.

It's just that it's too late to change the schedule now, so I can only bite the bullet and go into battle!

"Qin Qin!! Let's attack first!" Coach Shen Qin took off the protective gear from his hand: "Are you stupid?"

"Eh? Oh~" Shen Qin's mind was muddled now, and only then did he realize that Tanegashima was an away game, and it was the first attack.Fortunately, he didn't leave the lounge, otherwise he would be ashamed.

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay~" It's strange if it's okay!Shen Qin was a little helpless. In the past, he was always excited to play, but today he was a little nervous as if he had seen a ghost.But on second thought, maybe it's not that bad?Wasn't it good the first few times?

When things come to an end, that's all I can do to comfort myself.

……

Kotachihara was still the leadoff man today, but was easily struck out by Yamada's curveball and fastball.

Shen Qin didn't care about this point. When both sides are unfamiliar, the pitcher always has the upper hand, while the batter needs an observation process to adapt. It's not a big deal to solve the first round, as long as you can roughly grasp the ball. Just good.

In addition to the home run, there is no such thing as a one-ball decision in a baseball game. Instead, it depends on the advancing process of hitting the line.

It's okay to be solved once, even twice or three times, it's no big deal, as long as it's at a critical time!Can advance continuously!You can score!

The most important thing is how you adapt before the key ball comes out!Adjustment!
And Coach, who played the second bat, has the richest game experience and superb striking skills, so no one needs to worry about it at all!
Yu Yamada, a pitcher from Zhangnan High School, is very interested in the golden-haired boy standing on the strike zone. He has good batting skills, accurate ball selection and left and right bows!It must be difficult to deal with!Only such hitters!He will feel more fulfilled if he solves it!
Coach is still standing in the right-hander zone today. He also read Parker's crude information yesterday, and he is the least afraid of change-up pitchers.

When he was in the US, he just hit the change ball better than the fast straight ball.

But obviously Coach has overlooked a very important point, that is, American children practice changing balls much later than Japanese ones, and the types of balls are not so exaggerated.Take him as an example, whether it is a two-seam sinker or Carter, it is not a real change ball. After all, he practiced late, the degree of completion is not high, and the change is actually not in place. Hitters depend largely on his super quickness and strong tail.

As long as Japanese kids play baseball, who doesn't want to stand on the mound?Which pitcher started thinking about changing the ball before he was young?

So in that regard, at least at this age, the general changeup is better than the Central and South American region.

"Hey~"

Coach swung the empty stick and was obviously stunned for a moment. He guessed the cross ball, but why did it fall so much?Tsk!

Yamada Yu was also taken aback, was it an accident that he played so well yesterday?Why shouldn't this kind of ball be so bad?
Try another curveball?
"Snapped!"

The outside world!

"Snapped!"

The outside world!

Yu Yamada curled his lips, the stick is sticky, it seems that he is really good at hitting,
But it's not the case at Coach!He wasn't even thinking about wrecking ball or anything like that.He is going to fight out!hell!
Whether it's Hikari and Taichi who are juniors in Japan or Hideya Uesugi who usually practice pitching, their shots don't change that much.This made Coach a bit unbearable for the first time, and now there are 2 strikes and no strikes~ It’s really embarrassing! If there is no straight ball in the first round, I’m afraid I’m going to lie down!

Both Yamada Yu and the catcher Ishii Nakajo are not stupid. It is natural to see that although Coach's stick can stick to the ball, it can't control the ball very well!How is it possible to throw a straight ball at this time!

With a muffled 'bang', the ball went into Ishii Nakanari's glove and struck out Coach!
Coach is not annoyed, but a little helpless. Although he doesn't like the Japanese way of training people to death, he has to admit that the change ball of his current age group is awesome!
Japan~ I didn't expect to come here and really gain something.

Shen Qin brushed past Coach who was leaving, looked at the other party's relaxed expression and didn't say much.

As a hitter, Shen Qin is not in a hurry, especially for a change pitcher like Yu Yamada, thanks to his perfect dynamic vision and nerve reflex ability, he can not only rely on guessing the type of ball to consider the hitting point of the bat, but can Waiting for the pitcher to release the bat before swinging the bat greatly reduces the chance of a swing.If you observe a little longer, then you can judge good or bad balls in advance according to the area where the ball is released!So as to choose the number of favorable balls.

Yamada Yu's impression of Shen Qin is actually only that one home run, it only took one ball, what can you tell.

But judging from yesterday's hitting point, try to avoid the inner corner first!
In fact, there is really no difference between inside and outside corners for Shen Qin, his dynamic vision is really good!
Being able to quickly judge the ball path makes it impossible to chase bad shots.Unless it's the corners and corners where the judgment is easy to be blurred, he can control his stick.

The outer corner is the outer corner, the bad one is up to you, and the good one is destroyed!

bad ball!

bad ball!

"Pong!" Out of bounds!
"Pong!" Out of bounds!
"Pong!"

……

Yamada Yuu is going crazy!He had never seen a person with such a sticky stick, and even suspected that many of the balls that could be hit were deliberately hit out of bounds by the opponent.

And what's the situation?How could anyone miss every corner kick?Didn't even think about the referee's decision on a bad ball?Full ball count hey!You can guarantee it!

Shen Qin doesn't want to walk now, and he is indeed deliberately throwing the ball out of bounds.To be honest, it doesn't really make sense for him to hit base now. Even if he hits base, if he can't advance the subsequent bats, it's useless.

It's better to consume more of Yamada Yu's balls.

As for the corner kicks, in fact, they misled the referee by chasing them continuously because those balls were all good balls, and then gradually mixed good balls and bad balls, and the referee's favoritism would be guided more and more. Narrower!And it's hard to adjust back.

The referee will think that his own strike zone is so big. For the sake of fairness, the general situation will not be changed in the future.

The reason why Shen Qin did this was for the sake of the hitters behind!Give them the chance to miss more balls!Earn more walks!
At the same time, too many bad balls will inevitably affect the pitcher's condition!Once the pitcher misses the ball!That's the best time to blow up!
Before that!Everyone just wait patiently!

"Huh?!" Shen Qin was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, when he saw Yamada Yu's toes were crooked, and the ball flew over.

Curveball?A curveball falling into the red?

'Shen Qin couldn't believe his eyes!

It would be ridiculous not to type out now!

"boom!"

The ball was hit high, well over right field...  

There was a gasping exclamation outside the court, the ball didn't stop!Over the home run wall!
Two days in a row home runs!
stick!

Shen Qin's strike ability shocked everyone!

And Parker, who happened to record this moment, couldn't hide his surprise. As a professional, he knew very well that Shen Qin's strength was actually not that strong, and he was using a wooden stick.

But apart from the pitcher's missed shots, I'm afraid it's the hitting posture that helped him a lot!
It's just that once this kind of hitting method becomes a habit, it may be difficult to change it after the body is fully developed in the future!At that time, the height and physical strength will be different, and if it continues, it may cause a burden instead.

……

One home run can be said to be a coincidence, two is indeed skill and strength.

Unlike Narawa's rage, Yamada Yu looked at Shen Qin who was high-fiving his teammates, but he was very calm.

It's okay for a pitcher who hasn't hit a few home runs yet.If you can't accept it now, what about the future?His goal has never been just Jiashiyuan!

Ishii Nakajou signaled to Yu Yamada, calling timeout?Soothe the mood?You never need these things, he can always keep his emotions stable!
The home run just now was just a small episode, forget it in the past!It's no big deal to recover lost points.

Sure enough, for the next hitter, Yu Yamada used a change ball to create an infield ground, easily solving the fourth bat Nakamura.

Cheng Nakamura, who was off, was very annoyed: "I don't think I am worthy of the strongest four bats! Why don't you put me in the back bats?"

Shen Qin explained plainly while wearing the protective gear: "There is no such thing as the strongest cannon, and there is no such thing as a cannon that must be in the middle of the cannon. You can put it wherever it suits you."

Nakamura choked for a moment, looked at the cold Shen Qin, but didn't ask the next question. He felt that Shen Qin was a little different today. Although he didn't like to talk usually, he didn't have such a sense of distance like today. .Bad mood?Didn't he just hit a perfect run?Isn't that enough to be happy?
It's not that Shen Qin is unhappy, he just feels nervous!
This kind of emotion that has never appeared since leaving that home suddenly popped up inexplicably today!
Shen Qin secretly scolded Yuri enough!Damn mail!Don't send it sooner or later!What a torture!

"Come on, my pitcher!" Shen Qin called Nakamura into the field.

That's right, today's pitcher is Cheng Nakamura, who can't be called half a bucket of water!Shen Qin's goal is not to win, but to make the players realize their worst!
He felt that this kind of awareness was necessary, and the sooner it came, the better!So even if Coach clamored to play, he was pressed down.

Nakamura was very excited at the moment, God knows he didn't sleep much last night after knowing today's arrangement!
Fourth stick!Starting pitcher!trump card!
These three 'burdens' made him feel stressed and excited at the same time!
This is the pinnacle of his high school career, right?

hahaha~
It's a pity that Ami is not here. If she were here, she would definitely...

"..." Shen Qin rolled his eyes at the wretched Nakamura Cheng, and he didn't even need to guess to know that this kid's thinking was definitely not normal!I hope I don't cry when I wait!Just your virtue!That pretty little girl Yami should run away when she sees it!

Shen Qin doesn't understand the standard configuration of the monk's head, which is popular in Japanese college baseball, coupled with tanned skin. Sun protection is for health!Monk head...it's really not for everyone.

Uh...at least I am not suitable!

……

Today's defensive position is actually a joke, and it is also an experiment for Shen Qin!He wanted to know what he would do with a bad hand!

And how much those teenagers can bear!

And myself... what can I learn from it?
