Chapter 242 The Chubby Pitcher
Ryota Sano, who participated in the draft after graduating from Waseda University and entered the Hiroshima Carp team, received a box during training. The sender was Molina, and his teammates teased him that he knew a superstar.

Ryota Sano shook the box proudly: "Maybe it's another suitor's trick!"

Only a friend from the same period, Xiao Minyuan, dismantled him: "Have all your suitors gone abroad? This is an international package."

"Yes." Ryo Sano unpacked the box strangely, took out a baseball sealed in a transparent plastic square box in shock, turned it around and showed it to his teammates excitedly: "Ichiro! It's Ichiro's." Autograph ball!"

Kominatohara took the package and looked at it. Molina’s name was indeed on it. Ichiro’s autographed balls were many on the net.

I took out all the anti-shock bubbles in the box, and sure enough, there was a card underneath, with English greetings to Sano Ryota and hope for a gift written on it, but the signature below was in Chinese, which I couldn't understand at all.

Ryota Sano's puzzled result card: "I only know a Chinese girl named Sulu. I just talked to her on the phone yesterday. You can't fly to the United States to send me a package, right?"

~When the training was over, Ryota Sano couldn't wait to send a picture of his Chinese name to Chen Silu, and the result was 'Shen Qin'.

Chen Silu was very strange: "You guys are still in touch? Why did he get this for you?"

"At that time, I said that I would mail Ichiro's signature ball when I went back. I didn't expect it to be true." Ryota Sano said bluntly: "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect to get it, but the sender was Molina. strangeness."

Now that the Internet is very developed, the words of celebrities are actually easy to search.

The two couldn't wait to search Shen Qin and Molina brothers on Wikipedia, and all kinds of information popped up. The latest news is that Shen Qin's foul ball hit the third base coach in the high school All-Star last year. tragedy.

Ryota Sano sighed secretly, that little guy must have had a lot of psychological burden.

……

The game between the Missouri Warriors and the Minnesota Twins was very deserted, and it wasn’t the relationship between their respective home courts and during the season. Apart from the school band and cheerleaders, there were only a few scattered spectators on the court. Except for the parents, only the number of hands is estimated.

Shen Qin was not very happy: "Isn't our game worth watching?"

Coach smiled and said, "Is there anything better to watch in a season than a league game?"

"I think our game is also pretty good."

"Are you upset that Ji Jia didn't come to the game? Hahaha~"

Shen Qin, who was exposed, rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "...I'm not unhappy~ It's just that she promised me that she would come, but she left because of something. I'm a little worried that it's always like this lately~"

"She must have wanted to come because she loves you so much, but there is nothing we can do if something happens. After all, this is not the surrounding area. Anyway, don't worry about adult matters."

It's impossible not to worry. There are some things Shen Qin doesn't want to tell Kou Chi. Recently, he always looks at Ji Jia's red and swollen eyes, obviously she has cried.

I couldn't help but think of the people who came out of the house I saw when I came home from the semi-finals.

Affair?blackmail?In short, it is definitely not a good thing.

He wanted to tell Yuri, but he was a little worried.What if it was an affair?sky!It's absolutely impossible for two people to love each other so much!
"Don't think about it." Kou Chi patted Shen Qin angrily: "Compete first."

Hmm~ Shen Qin took back the scattered thoughts, and now really shouldn't think about those things.

……

At the start of the game, the Warriors go first on the coin toss.Because of the sparse audience, there was no tension on either side of the scene.

On the contrary, Shen Qin was taken aback by Cologne. He originally thought that the huge reality on TV should be reduced a bit, but what's going on with this fat man?
In Shen Qin's impression, athletes should be strong but not obese.

But Cologne in front of him was a complete exception. Standing on the mound with a white and fat tiger body was very intimidating.

"boom!"

The outside world!

Shen Qin hissed and looked at the home plate: heavy!Incredibly heavy.The speed of the ball is not very fast, but the tail strength is very strong.

Be sure to get on base!Only in this way can we observe the opponent's secret signal, or fight more to get an idea of ​​the distribution of the Gemini shooting partner.

"Bang!" Out of bounds~
"Bang!" Out of bounds~
……

Shen Qin with 7 balls in a row, there are good and bad, but Shen Qin chose to hit the stick.

The number of balls is still 0-2, and the relationship between Cologne and the catcher is a bit uncomfortable. I thought it was bad balls that could not deceive people, but after trying it, even the obvious bad ball hitters were selected. This is very problematic. Yes, on purpose?Are you that confident in your stick?

The catcher poked his hand into the mask and scratched his nose, obviously a troublesome opponent.

After thinking about it, I compared the code for the changeup.

When the speed of the ball is absolutely leading, it is the best choice to use the decisive ball to solve it.

Cologne nodded, pulled away and threw it out.

His posture for each shot is almost the same, and it is easy to deceive the hitter.

Suddenly using a changeup at this moment can easily cause a hitter who has adapted to the previous ball speed to swing early.

Seeing the white ball jumping out of the pitcher's hands, Shen Qin narrowed his eyes, finally it's here!

"boom!"

The bat hit the ball accurately in front of the home plate, passed between the first and second bases in an instant, and crossed another jumping glove in front of the center field who moved over, until it jumped to the home run wall It stopped slowly after hitting it.

Since there is no instructor or coach on the second base, if the runner is in the range between the first and third bases, if the ball is at an angle where the coach cannot see the line of sight of the front base, he must observe and judge by himself while running. Continue to base.

Shen Qin is now running forward while looking at the defensive players chasing the ball from time to time.

Since there was no long pass performance in the outfield in the previous video of the game, Shen Qin couldn't judge the proportion and accuracy of it. Seeing that there was still a distance, he still obediently stopped on the second base bag.

Quinn breathed a sigh of relief, he was also worried about Shen Qin's rash advance.

Colon took the ball from the catcher, glanced back at Shen Qin on the second base, and turned his head indifferently.

Pouichrom was already standing on the batter's box, looking at the pitcher's mound and swinging the bat in a relaxed manner.He had just watched 9 balls and already roughly understood the distribution pattern of Cologne's pitching and catching room. It was nothing more than using fast balls to make an impression on the batter, and then using the speed difference of the change-up ball to confuse the batter.

Now that you are prepared, it will always be easier.

Shen Qin's distance from the base is quite large, leaning forward, focusing on the catcher's legs: 3-Swaying left and right, the confirmed gesture is...

The catcher's hand dropped suddenly and he slapped his chest.

not good!The preceding ones are all false codes, but this one is the real one!
contain!

With his left foot, Shen Qin slammed into the second base pack with all his strength, and Cologne also passed the ball.

And the second baseman who was standing not far behind the base bag had already run up.

Shen Qin kept his body moving, but raised his head, only focusing on the second baseman's glove!
