soul of baseball

Chapter 394 is full of knowledge points, don't read it
Due to the unexpected smoothness of the inspection, Shen Qin and Maoer also returned to the hotel early, so after adjustments, Maoer was still the starter for the game.

Kara's arrangement for Shen Qin is always to not squat to catch or fight, hoping to minimize his burden. Salvador and Maoer also operate in the same way, but depending on the situation, people will be replaced on the field.

So today, Shen Qin, who will be doing nothing for the most part, stayed in the lounge wearing only the short sleeves of the US team, while Salvador, who was also resting, was wearing an inner liner. If the cat squatted for a long time, he would change it.

Aren't you angry?How to allocate the first issue in the future?Shen Qin thought for a while and then asked. Since the incident in Taiwan, his trust in El Salvador has reached the edge.

"Don't be angry, there are some sad words, but you have to bear it, we both have to give way to the cat. It's better to learn these now. Don't you know Yuri's record?"

Shen Qin was confused: "What?"

Salvador smiled and pulled his hat off: "Since he boarded, the Cardinals have only played 15 catchers in the major leagues." On the one hand, 05 catchers were selected, and 17 of them were promoted to the major leagues. A total of 53 catches were played, which is typical for everyone to watch him play alone. Of course, now Kelly will work hard slowly, replacing the old and the new.)
Shen Qin is completely unaware of this kind of record, after all, he is as thick-skinned as Yuri, and he is too embarrassed to tell each record one by one in other people's ears~
"Is that the bench that everyone has to sit on for a long time when they get to the major leagues?"

"Yuri and Perez are exceptions. Let's not talk about it. You just look at the Cardinals in the past few years. Except for Kelly, who is currently being trained, the earliest Cruz and the current catcher are all traded from other teams as substitutes. , how many of your own have come up?"

"The big league favors are only used to give face to the team's star players during the draft, and to randomly give a place to relatives when no one is selected in the last few rounds. It will not be easy to use in the future. Your current backup catcher of the Cardinals (2018 ) or the son of big star Downey Old, big enough, right? It also depends on Yuri’s rest time to play.”

Shen Qin felt that his motivation was fine, but his patience was hard to say. Although he used to be tough on his words, now when he thinks about how many years he had to sit on the bench and watch, his heart breaks~
Salvador said comfortingly: "Even if you can't squat and catch, you have a good stick, and you will be promoted to the major leagues much faster than others. It will be no problem to play in substitutes!"

Who wants to fight for you~ "Then there is no other way?"

"Yes, the draft is very important. Find a main catcher who is not that strong, or who is old. Of course, it depends on luck. In the draft that year, there was a very strong pitcher, and everyone rushed to get it. In the end, he was The Astros were selected, so the Cubs had to choose Bryant next. The result? The No. [-] pick announced his withdrawal from the baseball circle this year because he has not been able to play well. You can see the No. [-] pick. Now it is the latest sign for the Cubs. So Guessing before is actually better than gambling luck!"

In fact, Shen Qin and Kou Chi have discussed the issue of the draft: "Based on this year's current record, the current team should not change much next year. In fact, we can roughly guess who will be at the bottom." The team, it’s unlikely that they want a catcher, right?”

El Salvador will enter the draft next year, and he has done more homework than Shen Qin: "In the first round of next year's draft, there will definitely be one of the top three picks for the catcher. The cat is too strong, and his bat is not bad. It’s the same thing, but more importantly, he contributed too much to the pitching group during his two years in college, you haven’t paid attention to college games, you can find out when you go back.”

"As for the pitcher, as long as there are no major injuries this year, Ball Jr. will also occupy a seat. He is so interesting. He didn't make it to the [-]th round of the high school draft, but now he is already a big favorite. I heard that At that time, his father also thought that he had no chance, so he told him not to sign with family affection.” (Actually, it’s too coincidental. I only remembered this year’s draft when I wrote this, and went to see that the second overall pick was a catcher. The Giants chose catchers except There is a little more than ability! Handsome! Look at posey~)

"And Nolan, UMBC the year before last was just a fireworks show for him. Of course, whichever team chooses him, the box office will definitely increase greatly, and his dad can give tickets to the company. In addition, there are many things you can do yourself Go and find out, these teams are probably at a similar semi-rebuilding level in 18, and then it will be your turn."

"This year's countdown Detroit Tigers, San Francisco Giants, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds can all be paid attention to. What they need will focus on what role. For example, I guess the Cardinals will select players based on power."

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you miss the draft. Just like the great Trout that 29 teams in the major leagues missed? Who can compare with the modern beast? Let's talk about the No. 2004 pick in the 12 draft? It took him [-] years to reach the major leagues."

"What about you?" Actually, in normal times, Shen Qin would not ask such sensitive questions, but El Salvador is different: "I really think you are amazing, not the kind of expressive ones, but you ~Oh, I don’t know how to say it, I just think you are very cunning, and you are very good at this~ Uh~ Don’t be angry, I’m not saying this is bad.”

Although it seems that everyone in the team is inexplicably afraid of him~
"Don't be angry~" Salvador looked calm: "I know my abilities. In the baseball circle, you should never believe a word, such as no one can understand your body better than yourself. Believe me, in most cases The machine knows you better, and the coach also knows you better~"

"They can fix wrong strokes, pitching motions, squat positions, etc. - and even find out what works best for you. That's one thing the minor leagues have over every other place, no matter what round I get I’m always grateful to be on the team, because in the minor leagues, I get more. There’s no rush to be a catcher.”

"The St. Louis Cardinals, Kelly, the catcher with the highest ceiling, how many years have you waited~ You can almost stay in the major leagues immediately if you go to any team, right? But he chose to wait~"

Shen Qin was a little confused after hearing such a long paragraph. These words were somewhat contradictory: "But many coaches and players in universities have very good careers. They also experienced minor leagues, isn't it okay?"

"This is a university, not a major league. There are no various data models and image analysis. The minor league is too important. It is the most important place for a player to grow."

Huh? "How did you know?"

Salvador patted the guardrail and laughed: "Our previous coach said that although he can't teach well, the reasoning still makes sense."
