Chapter 403 The straight ball in the United States is not too straight
The war between the United States and Japan kicked off. Only Shen Qin kept reading his and Xi Chuan’s little books before practicing pitching in the bullpen. He had to memorize all of them. Let Kou Chi relax~ and relax~
~
Because the starting pitcher must be determined in advance, the news that Coach Coach will start today's game came out early, and interested media and scouts also entered the game in advance.

Shen Qin took off his mask after practicing a few balls with Kou Chi to warm up his shoulders: "The ball path, ball power, and ball speed are all perfect! Today's state is good!"

Coach stretched his shoulders, looking unusually tense.

Shen Qin grabbed his shoulders: "Don't be nervous, aren't you afraid of nothing?"

Kou Chi took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. Seeing that Shen Qin walked to the cowshed door first and raised his hand as a gesture of 'please', he couldn't help laughing. He felt a lot more relaxed. He walked over and rubbed him The head put away the smile and stepped out!
The stadium can be regarded as ushering in the most lively day~
"I'm coming!"

"Hey~Coach~"

"Jill~~~~"

……

Shen Qin followed behind silently, looking at the indifferent figure in front of him and feeling very emotional. The little kid who could cry had grown into a tall, independent man!

As long as today, I can help him win the debut match perfectly!His baseball life!That's when the real thing begins!

"Come on!" Shen Qin ran forward, and lightly touched Kou Chi's shoulder with his gloves.

"Together!"

Almost six years!They finally stood on the field as the starters!

Whistles, applause, and cheers surrounded the field. There were many more Asians in Italy than in the Netherlands!
boom!Shen Qin buckled down the mask and squatted behind the home plate, looked at the home plate through it, and slapped the home plate heavily with his gloves~
Come! ! !
He firmly memorized the data and characteristics of each batter in his mind!

The defensive players also ran to their own defensive areas on the field following the notification broadcast on the spot.

Nolan looked around the auditorium and was really moved by the popularity of this pair of pitchers. It is conceivable that after entering professional baseball in the future~ tsk~
On 1st, the Japanese team attacks first!
The first hit was the hitter that Xi Chuan had previously named for Shen Qin to pay special attention to.

With a slender figure and long legs, he does appear to be a fast-legged person at first glance.Although Shen Qin changed his sports glasses, he still reached in to protect his face and pushed it out of habit. This batter must be taken down. Killing the batter the opponent relies on is to increase his momentum first.

Judging from the extremely low swing of the opponent's first ball, there is no need to test, and there is no need to pitch too fast, and the batter is right-handed~ So... Shen Qin squatted down and put his legs on Show your little fingers!

Nolan despised Shen Qin for always taking special care of Kou Chi, even the secret codes were different from others.Coach was also a little puzzled. He had agreed on the first ball type early in the morning, and changed his relatively unfinished Carter ball on the spot. Did he find something wrong?

What's more important is to put the gloves on the chest, which means to throw in the middle early in the morning!

But under normal circumstances, Kou Chi never objected to Shen Qin's distribution of the ball. He knew that the opponent must have his own plan.Then nodded and stepped sideways~
With the stretch of the body, it is the same posture as when throwing a four-seam straight ball, and even the height of the arm is generally the same~
The hitter who was about to let go of the first ball looked at the bat in the hand of the golfer who was going straight into the red, but he couldn't help it no matter what!

huh~
The stick swung vigorously towards the center, and there it is!As long as it hits, it is an absolute long hit!

Seeing that the stick and the ball were about to touch together~ But the ball fell diagonally downward~
"Pong~"

hit!
The ball was hit vertically towards the ground...

The batter cursed and ran to first base, Shen Qin easily picked up the ball and passed it to first base to kill the batter!
For him, strikeouts and the like are not what he wants!All he has to do is save Coach!As for the form in which the batter is out, it doesn't matter at all!
Kou Chi raised his hand to give Shen Qin a thumbs up. There is no doubt that the credit for this goal belongs to his Qin Qin.

I also want to praise the hitters. It is not easy to train the shooting movements of the carter ball and the straight ball to be consistent.

Thinking about it again, I was a little annoyed. Obviously, when I was in junior high school, Japan's pitching skills were far ahead of American countries. Why did people surpass them in this area as they got older?Obviously my teammates have been practicing shooting seriously since they were young!Those in the US... there are a lot of pitchers who are changing careers in college!Even among those professional players, there are those who change jobs midway... Why?

Unlike others who were relaxed and quick, Shen Qin's entire spirit was in a tense state. This game was so important that the cheers of the audience and the praise of his teammates seemed irrelevant at this moment.He has to think about the next ball, the next ball, until the end of the game!

The second bat of the Japanese team did not start in the last game where Shen Qin came to scout.Thanks to Nishikawa for providing the data.

Shen Qin turned his head to look at this man, who was more than a circle bigger than himself in terms of weight and height~ The pressure was amazing!Do you want to blow it out with a stick?

The idea is very good, and there is nothing wrong with the tactics arranged by the opposing head coach!But is there anyone here who understands this theory better than himself?This theory proposed by Yuri's former head coach, I have discussed it with him!Are you worried?
No!

It is true that left-hand pitching beats left-handed hitting, and conversely, left-handed pitching beats right-handed pitching. Today's major league scheduling also follows this statement to a large extent.

But there is no absolute in everything, it is just a high probability.Xiangke also depends on the opponent, otherwise the scheduling of the game will be meaningless.

Shen Qin is not worried about this big man, because Kou Chi is the one who specializes in this kind of game!

Inside corner?Not at all!Shen Qin patted his chest, slid down between his legs and gestured with his fingers: I just want the most common low-four-seam straight ball!Make the opponent think it is a straight ball!The ball is done!
bang~
Pangpang fell to the ground, and the infield fly ball he hit was easily caught and killed by the shortstop Nishikawa who stepped forward!

The fat hitter is completely fine, how could this ball be like this!There is absolutely nothing wrong with my own judgment, that is, the low-angle straight ball is right!But how could it not be so low? And let yourself swing to the lower edge of the ball?

Why?Shen Qin smiled and patted his gloves. Of course, it depends on the difference between the materials and Japan and the United States!

According to Nishikawa's information, this is the first time for this super strong player in the Japanese team to participate in an international competition, and he has never played against an American team before. This is one of the reasons.

The second is the difference between Japan and the United States.
