soul of baseball

Chapter 214 Quota~
Yue Yu didn't see each other, Shen Qin gave Kou Chi a big hug, quickly took out a gift and stuffed it in, hoping that the latter would swallow those balabala chanting in his stomach.

Who would have thought that Kou Chi had no intention of educating Shen Qin at all at the moment, and quickly drove out after picking up someone: "Hurry up and go to the school's training ground, the one trained before is now used alone, the 12th grade and Several 11th-grade teams are out of the game this year, and we can only rely on us young people under the age of 18. We are making the roster right now, so we can’t miss it.”

Then he glanced at Shen Qin: "Peel a chocolate!"

Shen Qin obediently peeled it off and stuffed it, and asked strangely: "It's just a list, what are you in such a hurry for?"

"Forget that you don't know, llb's entry list can only contain 13 players and 3 coaches per team."

Shen Qin was dumbfounded: "There are more people in Jiaziyuan than this~ Is this really a world-class game?" Coach was helpless after counting the number of people in Jiaziyuan: "All the players and coaches of all 16 final participating teams The food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses are covered by other people’s organizations.”

"The Little League is a non-profit organization, and most of its staff are volunteers. Their usual work tasks are very heavy. If there are too many participants, it will not only be the cost, but also the staff will have to do There are more things to do, so we can do as little as possible. In fact, 13 people are considered standard. After all, there are only 32 games in the United States, and we can't play a few games at most, which is barely enough."

"Oh, that's right~" Coach blinked his head sideways: "How many people do you think there were in the game that was watched by the most people before?"

Shen Qin thought about the number of spectators in the minor leagues, and made a compromise: "About ~4000?"

"Tsk~"

"8000?"

"Ha~"

"2000? No way~"

"Pooh!"

"not enough?"

"Much less!"

Shen Qin was stunned: "Then [-]? No! Fifteen thousand!"

"Hey! Dude! Puff! Don't pinch me!" Kou Chi laughed and his mouth twitched: "Puff! Okay, okay, more than 4."

Shen Qin was shocked. You must know that both the Cardinals' Busch Stadium and the Astros' Minute Maid (Mirago) Stadium only have more than 4 seats, which means that a major league game will be crowded when the stadium is full. With such a small number of people, can this youth baseball have so many spectators?

Can't help but think of the shock when he entered Minute Maid Stadium to watch Yuri's game for the first time, Shen Qin swallowed: "Isn't that the same as playing a major league game?"

This instant anticipation amused Coach, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, you want to experience the big leagues in advance, don't you want to go?"

Of course I want to go, Shen Qin's eyes lit up: "I can definitely go!"

It's not an easy feat to be among the 16 teams that eventually made it to Williamsport to compete.

The divisional qualifiers are divided into 8 regions in the United States and 8 regions in foreign countries.

The eight foreign regions are divided into Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Latin America, Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe (formerly EMEA) and EMA (Middle East and Africa) regions.

本土8区分为新英格兰6州、中大西洋6州、中西部7州、大湖区6州、东南部8州、西南部8州、西北部6州以及西部6州。

Missouri, where Shen Qin is located, belongs to the Midwest. In the qualifying stage, he must first become the champion of Missouri, and then become the champion of the Midwest to obtain the only qualification for the first district.

Coupled with the fact that it belongs to the big league, one can imagine how difficult it is.

"Is the Asia-Pacific region counted as China?"
Shen Qin couldn't help but think of the little fat guy when he was practicing in China, and he didn't know what happened.

Coach is not hopeful: "Taiwan and South Korea's Little League are more important than China. It is very difficult to win the division championship."

"I hope." Shen Qin rubbed his nose. Since Xichuanlong and Taiwan practiced their calculations, he didn't like the Taiwan team very much. How simple and honest~ unexpectedly also...

The two of them arrived at the school while they were talking. After parking the car, they immediately ran to a classroom next to the training field where the baseball club used it for meetings and watching videos. Coach Quinn was discussing the list of matches with his assistants.

Quinn was relieved to see Shen Qin coming in. To be honest, he didn't expect Shen Qin to return to the team. After all, he had just experienced that kind of on-field accident, and he was just a rookie who hadn't been in baseball for a long time. The psychological trauma was terrible. Not so easy to restore.

I didn't expect it...

"Coach." Shen Qin lowered his head in embarrassment, shy when everyone pays attention to him...

"Come! Let our future catcher take a look at the list." Quinn did not give Shen Qin that unexpected comfort or inquiry. He just teased her naturally and patted the table: "13 people, think about it carefully."

Shen Qin really blushed now: "I...I can't do this! I don't know their data."

It’s because it’s not good, and it’s not about doing it itself~ Quinn smiled: “I’ve recorded all the data, it’s not for you to pick someone, it’s for you to see how good it is.”

This Shen Qin did not refuse, picked up the list and looked at it carefully.

Because of the age limit for participating in the competition, old people like Gary and Garcia have no chance to be included in the list, but Marcel is on the list. Shen Qin was shocked, he looks like he is 30 years old~ he is still a baby!

However, Shen Qin knew Marcel's ability very well. He was the strongest player in the team, so he skipped it directly.

The catcher replaced Francisco, who also took care of the ice hockey, with Cidia, who had a very high hitting rate. It is true that the high hitting rate is good, but Shen Qin looked at the number of catches (missed pitches in non-burst situations) that were really amazing.Um~ The long batting rate is not high either.

There was no sticky Gary on the first base, and he was replaced by a 17-year-old black and strong big man Puig (not puig, I won’t explain it in the next chapter, after all, not many people know~), the batting rate is not high, and the home run But the number of hits is quite a lot. It is a standard cannon, which is no problem.

In the left, center and right field are the old man Parnia, the newcomer Pilar and Dahl respectively.

In addition to Lindo, the other three pitchers are Shearer, Jordan and Wagada.

Plus Coach and himself, a total of 12 people.

Shen Qin thought about it carefully, and asked Kui En first instead of saying a good time: "Is there still a place? Didn't you choose?"

Quinn asked: "Do you think the remaining spots should be added to a pitcher or placed in an infielder?"

Kit on one side couldn't help interjecting: "Of course it is to give the pitcher the spot, otherwise the risk is too high."

Unfortunately, Shen Qin is a person who ignores the outside world when he devotes himself to the baseball world. What about the assistant coach: "No! I think we should add another infield, so that no matter where the inner and outer field needs rotation, we can always make up for it."

"What about the pitcher? What if someone is not feeling well or is sore."

Shen Qin looked at Kit innocently, as if wondering why he would ask this question: "Come on, there are a lot of people who have been pitchers in the infield and outfield before, and it's always okay to delay. The ability is not good enough, we must strengthen the play line as much as possible! In this way, even if the pitcher loses points or our defense is not strong, we can still get back the points."

"And if you use the quota on the pitchers, if the point difference in a game is widened, do you choose to change pitches one by one or let the fielders come up to the mound to spend garbage time? IMHO, we don't have fielders who can rest in the game. ~Fortunately, the competition in the qualifier stage is not intensive, we can slowly adjust the selection, now it is just a rough lineup, let’s take a look first and then say it’s okay.”

Before Git could speak, Coach couldn't help but wink, change your shot~ I'm the best shot in the field!It's just that Xidia is an unreliable catcher~ He wants to join the Qin Qin group as a catcher!

　Today is the pre-match transition, so there are only three chapters~ haha~ come back tomorrow~ Maybe my home team lost too badly!I'm not in the mood~
