soul of baseball

Chapter 46

"Qin!" Ji Jia came out of the box holding the phone, and hugged Shen Qin excitedly: "Congratulations! You have been selected into the list of 15 people!"

Shen Qin was stunned!He knew this list, the list that their Red Caps had worked hard for the state game.

But he has always been a fringe figure on the team, so he is completely confused about this.

For the large group of junior baseball, there is now a three-legged situation.They are the International Baseball League, the American Colts League, and the Little League World.

And the ultimate goal of Shen Qin's Red Hat team is the right to participate in the Pony League!
The Colts League is a league full of positive energy. Its purpose is to help young children participate in baseball and grow up happier and healthier.

It is divided into different groups according to age.

The youngest colts are the ones the league pays the most attention to, because this is the time to develop interest and build foundations.

The Broncos group consists of eleven or twelve-year-old children, referred to as U12 for short. At this time, the players are in the growth stage, which is the age to stimulate their potential and make continuous progress.Shen Qin, who is older but weaker in foundation, has been practicing with the children of this group.

The thirteen and fourteen-year-old U14 children in the pony group are relatively mature. In addition, their bodies are gradually developing at this time, their strength has also strengthened a lot, and they have accumulated some competition experience, but reasonable rules and venues The configuration enables children to better demonstrate their skills.

Most of the [-]- and [-]-year-old stallions are high school students, and they are even more powerful. Not to mention skills, at least they have reached a relatively professional level in terms of their understanding of baseball games. They know better about teamwork, And be able to fully demonstrate their own level in the game.

It is the U18 Parma group. At this time, they are already players who can participate in the draft level!This highest level of competition is very entertaining!Most of these players have received very systematic training, which can be said to be like the professional baseball league. Many high school students with excellent skills and talents have been invited by universities, and even favored by professional baseball.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shen Qin now!He is still laying the groundwork!So he asked Ji Jia in a daze: "What am I going to do? Help pick up the ball?"

"Bah!" Ji Jia pinched Shen Qin's nose angrily: "How about some ambition?"

Shen Qin hurriedly squeezed his nose to avoid it: "Ambition also needs strength as a foundation! And I am cheating to enter the wild horse group! Is it because of my strength!?"

"You're so strong! It's the pony team!"

Shen Qin was completely speechless!If it is said that he is in the wild horse group, he still thinks it is understandable, but the pony group...

Xiao Minu, who has always played well with him, is one of the people selected for the pony team, but he has practiced baseball since he was a child. Although he is a little smaller, his skills are solid...Go yourself What are you doing?It's not a major league, so why don't you go up and run for you?

Thinking of this, Shen Qinmeng suddenly realized: "Do you want me to run for you?"

"Does my younger brother only have one pair of legs?" Ji Jia almost laughed angrily: "Paul called and said that he has two children who are going back to China with their parents, and they can't participate, so I put you in! Uh... Although you are really It’s a bit short, but we have time to take it slowly, you should go to gain some experience this time! Don’t be afraid of embarrassment!”

Shen Qin is not afraid of embarrassment. He also knows the two children Ji Jia mentioned. They are a pair of Dominican twin brothers, and they are considered the 'top players' in the team.

But... "Is it really not going to hold you back?"

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Jia stared, "The kids on the traveling team keep on playing after losing! What are you afraid of?"

Shen Qin shrunk his neck. Many children from community teams joined traveling teams to play games in various places to hone their skills. His "family property" is incomparable.Even the training ground is in a free community park.

But I heard that Yuri's training environment was even more difficult when he was a child~ Tsk tsk!So much money now...

No, no, that's wrong.Shen Qin quickly turned his thoughts back to the topic: "Two people! Who else?"

Ji Jia pushed Kou Chi forward! "He! Of course it's this young man~ Yuri specifically mentioned it to Paul!"

Coach also looked proud: "I wanted to give you a surprise!~"

Shen Qin was dumbfounded: "You are going to high school soon!"

"I'm not old enough! It won't count until my birthday next year! The competition will be over by then!"

……All right!Shen Qin was a little speechless, but there was nothing to say about Kou Chi's skills. Yuri also said that this doll is a good seed for infield defense, and the attack is also very good!

Then what else can I say~ half a bucket of water like myself is on the water!It is only a matter of course that Coach, who is almost full, can join.

After Ji Jia finished speaking, he went back to the box, and Shen Qin asked Kou Chi: "Can I do it? I haven't really been a catcher yet?"

? ! ...Coach stared wide-eyed, looking dumbfounded: "Who told you to be a catcher? You squat there, let alone a pitcher! I'm not at ease!"

This statement is very shocking, but it is true.Shen Qin could only shrug his shoulders to express his helplessness: "Then what should I do? Do I sit on the bench all the time?"

"Haha~ Of course it's your dream position all the time~ Left fielder!" Kou Chi said while winking at Shen Qin meanly, obviously Yuri told him this joke.

Shen Qin simply gritted his teeth in hatred, Yuri had such a big mouth.But in fact, it really doesn't matter which position he plays!But no matter how strong his mental quality is, he is still a little panicked when he suddenly has to officially play the game.The biggest game he has played this year is the team practice game...

"What...Couch...let's practice more in the future..."

Coach rolled his eyes: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and the practice time will be reduced...and we are going on vacation..."

...Shen Qin couldn't stand the look of Kou Chi. He promised that if Yuri offered to teach him personally, Kou Chi's parents would definitely kick him off the family vacation list.

Sure enough...Coach then said: "If you really have a request...then I..."

"Ahem!" Shen Qin waved his little hand: "Yuri said he should keep fit during the offseason!"

Coach was taken aback: "Is he going to play the Independence League this winter?"

In the league, in order to maintain the state of the players during the offseason, many players will choose to play in the independent league in winter, such as the Mexican league ~ the Puerto Rico league... But those are usually minor league players or those who are at the bottom of the major leagues, The real big names will obviously not choose this way.

Because the team is absolutely tolerant of them, they will not send people to the minor leagues just because they are not in good form for one or two games. They can slowly adjust this state during spring training or games.

And Yuri is also an absolute starter who has signed a long-term contract, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about such things, so Coach is very strange.

Shen Qin quickly shook his head: "They said they were going to Puerto Rico to teach children."

"It's been years! Brothers of the Molina family."

Ko Chi's clear attitude made Shen Qin very strange: "What is it like a day for many years? He goes to play with the children every year?" He suddenly thought of Ji Jia's plan to have no children. Could it be that Yuri likes it very much? child?This is a big problem!
"How can it be!" Coach was full of admiration: "You know the environment in Puerto Rico. The government is useless. Many children don't even talk about studying and playing football. They even rely on coupons for meals. Their brothers have never stopped charity. I have to teach them during the offseason, every year. Don't you watch the news?"

Shen Qin listened to the silence, he didn't know about Yuri's past, of course he knew that he was kind, otherwise he wouldn't adopt him, but he always thought that there was a reason for seeing him.

And charity, to be honest, it's just a joke, and he's heard a lot of news about fraudulent donations in his previous life~ most of them are just gimmicks.

But somehow he believed that Yuri was not such a person.But he still asked secretly: "Really?"

"Nonsense! The Guardian of the Nation is telling lies? Behind him is the whole of Puerto Rico! But he wanted to represent China in the WBC, but it seems that the policy at that time did not allow it!"

(This is true! Yadier Molina is a hero throughout Puerto Rico!)
