Chapter 407 The Overheard Persian Cat
"How about that sinker?"

The beaten hitter glanced at the coach of the Japanese team: "I don't know if the sinker is good or not. I can't see it clearly at all. I only know that the catcher is very troublesome."

"Catcher? His hits aren't just a problem for you, are they? We all know that at the World Baseball Classic."

The beater sneered: "I mean it would be very troublesome to catch him squatting, the most insidious catcher."

insidious?The coach rubbed his chin. He was the bench coach of the national team in the last World Baseball Classic. It seems that some players also said this~
who is it?

Yes!It was said that Yuri Molina, the catcher of the Puerto Rico team at the time, was right. At that time, Puerto Rico's pitching group was at the middle-lower level among all participating teams, but it was because their catcher was the best on both offense and defense in the major leagues. The best Yuri Molina just relied on his catching skills to raise the level of pitchers to a higher level.

At that time, in the semi-final match between the Japanese team and the Puerto Rico team, the Japanese team's best stealing and bunting tactics could not be used because there was such a person behind the home plate, and the three consecutive championships were abruptly cut off.

Tsk~ Is this a big trouble and a little trouble?

Anyway.It's really troublesome!
It is impossible to steal bases. Compared with Yuri in the 13 World Baseball Classic, Shen Qin is obviously much luckier now. He has a very good pitcher and can suppress hitters. In addition, he is perfect. The matching ball... tsk~
It's scary to have a good relationship~
In fact, the shooting and arresting at this moment is really full of gunpowder. As soon as the exchange of offense and defense came, Shen Qin grabbed Kou Chi's ear and went to the toilet. Scherzer, who was in the toilet cubicle, put his ear close to the door: Qin What happened to Qin?So like pulling people to the toilet to talk?It's still just playful, trying to make everyone...

"Qin Qin~ It hurts, it hurts!"

Shelzer: Hurt?Why does it hurt?Could it be that Qin Qin is...

"So you know it hurts?" Shen Qin hit harder: "After you go on like that, it's your hands that will hurt!"

Scherzer: Hands?Want to use it? B~T~ah!
"But it's okay, really~ I just have itchy hands!"

"You're disobedient because your hands are itchy? If you keep doing this, I'll be punished and I'll never partner with you again! Do you think so? If you keep getting injured, what kind of catch will we be?"

"I know, I know~ Let go first, it really hurts."

Did Shen Qin let go, and touched Kou Chi's right hand wrapped in a blanket: "How do you feel now?"

"It's only four rounds. Really, it's just a fever. Everything else is normal. Qin Qin deliberately didn't match the first three rounds. What could be wrong?"

"dissatisfied?"

"Absolutely not!"

"I will continue to match Senka, but you know what you have to do?"

"I know, I know~ Throw it lightly~" Kou Chi leaned over: "Go up and eat something to calm down~"

~
Scherzer heard that the voice gradually became blurred, as if Coach had said something coquettishly, tsk tsk~ What is a big man doing coquettishly?
Gently open the door and look out, the person has already left, how strange~~
~
In the exchange of offense and defense, Shen Qin was still squatting behind the home plate. If Coach was not still pitching today, according to the normal schedule, he should have been replaced at this moment.

Sink!

Shen Qin's glove placed in the lower right corner of the strike zone directly scooped Coach's ball, and quickly made a judgment based on the information. The tail strength was fine, and it was still very heavy. However, Coach didn't take down light pitchers. This is the 27th sinker, the seventh game, and the number of balls used is 57. In the eyes of others and even Kara, it is very economical.

But Shen Qin himself was not satisfied, now that the seventh half inning had just started, the hitters were already facing Kou Chi in the third round, which was the most difficult stage.Even if it is a big pitcher in the major leagues, under normal scheduling, the coach will not want the pitcher to face the batter in the third round again.

To what extent will the third-round hitters be familiar with Coach's pitch?Shen Qin glanced at the batter's standing posture and the hands holding the bat tightly. This is the desire to attack. Is it to hit the first ball?Just because he had a stupid sinker on his first pitch against every hitter in the second round?Haha~ Point your index finger to make a secret sign.

Ha~ Kou Chi covered his face with gloves and nodded, his smile could hardly be covered~ His family Qin Qin is really too bad.

boom! ! !
The ball hit the ground in front of the home plate heavily, and the raised mud avoided the hitter's bat and got into Shen Qin's glove!
0-1!

Shen Qin couldn't help grinning under the mask, and next, it's time to enter the strikeout rhythm~
Kou Chi took the ball thrown by Shen Qin, and his eyes swept over the batter and couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic. Do these people really think that they can keep up with the speed of the ball with just one round of adaptation?Let’s hit the straight ball first and then talk about it!
straight ball!Pair it with a sinker that is exactly the same as the ball before hitting the base, try it out!

0-2!

0-3!

K!

1 out!

Squat low ball? Half squat high ball?The hitter who was struck out was a little confused. The statement just before the start of the game clearly means that the catcher will use the opposite action to lure the hitter!How could it be like this, what should be the action?
Of course, you have to adjust according to the other party!Shen Qin squatted down and looked sideways at the hitter. When he saw the hitter looking away, he looked at the pitcher's mound. Lo and behold, their hitter had already begun to observe him. Of course he had to change his strategy at this time!
You can't just sit and wait for others to come and tell you some obvious nonsense~
When the batter became a left-handed hitter, the form became more favorable to Coach. Although it is true that right-handed pitching beats right-handed hitting, it was different for his sinker.

All hitters, this is not to say the majority, here is to say all~ Relatively speaking, the most bad ball is always the ball with the low outside corner, which is an absolute cold zone, and Coach's sinker The trajectory is such a position for a left hitter. It looks like it is in the strike zone, but when the bat goes out, it suddenly turns out~ plus the defense in the direction of the third base, even if the bat hits by accident, it will be solved. There is no problem at all.

boom!
The batter's bat swings in a huge arc, but the head of the bat is still far behind the ball, unable to keep up with the ball, and unable to hit~
2OUT!
0-1!

0-2!

0-3!

3OUT!

The three old kings sent out one after another ended the first half of the 7th inning. Shen Qin pushed off his mask and touched Kou Chi's gloves, 66 balls!His goal is ~ within a hundred balls!

The hitter looked at the pair of pitchers from the sidelines, and felt a little palpitated for no reason. The two cooperated so well. One suppressed himself with absolute ball speed, making himself a little uncertain about the trajectory of his swing. Deceiving yourself with small actions is simply a double injury to your body and mind!
