Chapter 441 Cheap Salvador

The sneak attack tactic of the first two bats is very useful. When it is Pepe's turn, there is only one thing he has to do, and that is no matter what method is used, as long as the runner Papa on third base is sent back.

Pepe is not tall, but his reaction nerves and footwork are very fast, and his long-hitting ability is weak, but he hits a lot of first and second bases. He is a typical second base candidate.

Right now, he desperately needs a hit, and short hits will suffice.

The pitcher on the mound was named Acuna, a Mexican from Florida.

Today marks the first time he stands on the mound, and it is also his seventh month from the main shortstop to the bench and then to the pitcher.

Shen Qin is a person who likes to watch fielders throw the ball. In the rare garbage time in the major league games, he would let the fielder throw the ball on the mound. In most of these jobs, everyone wants to go up and show their pitching skills.

Curve balls, finger crosses, sinkers, etc., they can do a lot, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for the fans who support their team. After all, the previous game was not perfect.

League players are all versatile, some can make their own drones, climb rocks, make information templates, and some can arrange things on the farm, and they don't even drive Uber in China.

But these chores are a hobby for a major league player, but a livelihood for a minor league player.

Shen Qin likes Acuña very much. Because of being a catcher, he spends a large part of his time with pitchers, so he is quite familiar with Acuña.He likes this shy long leg very much.

Acuna's leg length is recognized!Among the players, the pitcher has the thinnest lower body in terms of muscles. Unlike other fielders, even though the legs are thin, the muscles are still bulging, but the pitcher is...

The difference between races is particularly evident on the calves, which are slender and straight!

Even among these players, Acuna is the longest.And Shen Qin thinks that the reason for his lack of height is because of his short legs!If you have all s legs below the waist~ ouch~ drooling~
The reason why the fielder turned into a pitcher is naturally because he was not stable on defense and hitting, and he had been a pitcher before high school, so he turned around and had a look, and gave up early if it didn't work. Comparable to the son of major league star Rhodes, he couldn't hit well after entering the profession, and he was about to give up. As a result, he turned into a pitcher and suppressed the leverage.

Because Acuña played around in junior high school, he knew some miscellaneous types of balls. Although they were all messy, he probably understood the technique, so he transformed very quickly. Coupled with his 1.97 height advantage, the advantage was even greater. big.

Of course, he is not the trump card of the senior team. Shen Qin probably understands what Kara means, maybe it is to make him get used to pitching in the game,

And Acuña was not emotional when he was caught by two hitters one after another. This is probably related to his constant mistakes and various failures when he was a fielder. He has experienced the worst experience. Now this setback is completely unnecessary. worried.

There's no pitcher who can't get busted, and no pitcher can overwhelm batters throughout his career.

Maybe all they count each year is how many home runs were hit this season?

And Acuna believes in Salvador, he can help him complete a good start, of course, there is no pitcher who can resist Salvador, so just shoot as you like.

Facing the rookie team's third batter Pepe, Salvador didn't care about the point on third base at all. It's normal for him to not shoot well during the adaptation period at the beginning of the game.If you really lose and call back, it's not a big problem, and you can grab the second number of outs.

High straight ball.

Salvador is considered an outlier among college catchers. He spent a lot of time studying American professional baseball. He found that the so-called behavior of letting pitchers hold the ball down is itself very problematic.
According to the research data of the major leagues, hitters are now more and more able to hit the ball from a low angle, but the high ball is not very good. Of course, Yuri is an exception. Most home runs come from high balls.

Acuna nodded, well, in fact, this action is redundant among pitchers.

Throwing with shaking legs is his specialty. Although it is not good-looking and affects catchers catching stolen bases, it can also dazzle hitters at the same time.

The shaking feet stepped out with a huge arc!
Pepe on the strike zone is waving his stick. Unlike playing against an unfamiliar team, this game is against someone he is familiar with. So, this is an advantage!

Not fast ball speed, easy to hit angle!
Pong!
The bat scraped violently to the bottom of the ball and flew high.

Salvador unbuttoned his mask, backed up, backed up, this was his team's home court, he was too familiar with it, and he could roughly calculate how many steps back he could touch the protective net behind.

He raised the glove and easily caught the out-of-bounds high-flying ball, and patted Pepe's face puffed up in surprise: "Look, you know us, and we know you, go back and tell Qin Qin to change another trick, or you won't be able to do it later." We will beat you down!"

Pepe ran back with his head down. He felt that this sentence should not be said to Qin Qin. After all, everyone said that as long as you are on the court, you must not trust Salvador. In case he deliberately let himself spread the word to induce Qin Qin What about?
It's unwise to communicate with opposing catchers on the field. Pepe and Shen Qin played together in high school. Just as they believed in Salvador, he also believed in Shen Qin immensely. He believed that he had the most suitable for baseball smart brain.

"Pepe, it's okay. His ball spins very fast, and it was not easy to adapt to playing well at first."

Shen Qin, who was trying to apply oil in the sideline preparation area, called out: "It's normal."

"But with two outs, we have no chance to sacrifice."

"You can't hit a hit if you sacrifice a hit, and hit a home run if your hit is forfeited. At worst, we still have the second half of the inning, and the second half of the inning. If it doesn't work, I will suddenly sublimate my skills by stealing occasionally."

When it comes to stealing some Pepe, he laughed. After all, the heavy gunner in front of him was not good at swinging a short club back then, so there were a lot of jokes: "Then you go hard, blast out!"

Shen Qin patted his small chest in response. He was confident, but the home run was too unexpected. It was a troublesome thing to face the shy and beautiful man with long legs and Salvador who trained with him every day and his familiarity was UP.

Walking onto the strike zone, he could see Salvador's smiling eyes under his face shield, and he immediately became vigilant.The last time he saw a catcher smiling at him like this was in the WBC Final Four, that person was Yuri, and then he swallowed a K for the first time in his life!
Are Salvador and Yuri the same type?
No way!How gentle he is!Like Yuri, he can be a bit mean sometimes.
