soul of baseball

Chapter 483
Who is this?
Shen Qin looked at the hitters who played in this half of the inning, a little confused, this is Little Ball!Why is it taking DH's stick hit?

Huh?
Little Bauer smiled with a stick in his hand: "Didn't you and Xi Chuan blow you away?"

This is a joke, it’s just two points~ and Scherzer’s pitching is also very difficult. Although the crisis is finally resolved, the number of available balls is really quite a lot: "Is it because you like to hit?"

This answer surprised Ball Jr., shouldn't ordinary people say that they should persuade their pitchers not to hit or simply give Dai a mocking smile? "why do you say so?"

"Because there is a special pleasure in hitting!" As a die-hard fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Shen Qin said this very well: "Look, Wainwright of the Little Red Birds, this year is after he entered the major leagues. It's the 14th season of the pitcher. Over the past ten years, his average batting average is still more than [-]%, and he has hit a lot of home runs, which is very rare for a pitcher. And this year's McGonagall, he is considered Played back to the major leagues from Japan. In the first opener at home this year, they hit a two-point shot. Ah, and those young pitchers are also very good at hitting. They are the best team in the league. Ah~ DH system is so boring, I like the National League pitcher hit."

"Isn't it? It's very interesting. Because everyone doesn't know what kind of operation mode a pitcher will have!" Ball Jr. smiled while holding a batting helmet. He still fully agrees with this statement. Compared with the 15 teams in the American League For teams that implement the DH system so that pitchers don't have to hit, he prefers the National League's behavior of discarding DH. Whether it's the pitcher's hit, the magic of changing pitches, or the messy scheduling, it's very interesting.

Look, let's say there's a guy on first and second base, and it's the pitcher's turn to bat with two outs, so what do the spectators think?Do you want to replace it?If you don't change it, the pitcher can't use bunt tactics at this time, can he swing a big stick?Can you swing it out?
What's more interesting is that some pitchers are very fierce. Let's not talk about hitting well. Some even don't wear batting gloves, such as McGonagall who just returned from Japan for the Cardinals, and the current home run king, who is also the Cardinals. Mr. Little Carpenter, the first club in the school, didn't wear it either. When the two of them hit each other, they not only loved to swing the big stick, but they could also hold the stick firmly.

You must know that when a wooden stick hits a ball with a speed of 150 or even 160 or more, the vibration will make the palm numb and painful. Before the finger pads were widely used, there were even cases where the hitter was cracked by the tiger's mouth. Condition.

As for pitchers, there is no need to describe how important hands are. Some pitchers are just so crazy~
For example, little Bauer now~
Shen Qin grinned and grabbed the other's bare hand and shook it: "Don't you wear gloves? Why don't you wear them? You didn't plan to fight so you didn't have gloves? Do you want to wear mine? Oh no, your hands are much bigger than mine!"

Little Ball sighed invisibly, so is the little cutie a chatterbox: "I can hold 6 balls!"

For a pitcher, the width of the palm and the length and thickness of the fingers can all affect the sharpness of the ball. Just like children envy a bird that can grab a basketball, they also envy a person who can hold more baseballs in one hand.

What is the concept of 6 balls?For example, Kershaw, the strongest left-hander on the active surface and the ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is a man who can hold 6 balls!
Shen Qin stretched his right hand awkwardly: "I, I can, I can pinch 3, ah, no, it's 4 balls."

Pfft~hahaha~ "4? This number is a bit strange!"

Alright~ Fried hair: "3!"

A baseball is not that big, but it’s not that small. The width between the fingers of each person is different. For Shen Qin, the distance between the thumb and the index finger, and between the index finger and the middle finger, is the best place to hold the baseball. Plus one in the palm, this is the limit!

What are you showing off~
hum~
Ball Jr. buckled on his batting helmet and walked to the batting zone: "Actually, I have calluses on my hands, you can think so, so I'm not afraid of pain?"

ghost letter! "I'm going to test you with a simple ball first!"

Shen Qin knelt down on the ground, pulled off his mask, and patted Scherzer on the shoulder. It was necessary to test a pitcher with no information and no gloves.

Try low inner angle~
~
The curveball goes high to the inner corner. This kind of ball with high speed is very difficult to hit. Ball Jr. smiled, this is called a simple ball?Where is the test?It was clearly a ball falling down by rubbing the corners.

To be honest, it's a different feeling to stand on the strike zone and watch the ball. This pitcher will definitely be a great existence in the future, and his ball-handling skills are simply amazing!

So this ball has to be played even more!

Pong! ! !
The spinning ball was hit high, turned the stick and spun out~
Shen Qin instantly tilted his head and flashed past the slow-moving baseball.

The chief judge was not so lucky, the ball hit the faceguard heavily, and he fell backwards with people~ I was still thinking at this moment: the chief judge is really a very risky job...

"Ai ai ai~" Shen Qin's reaction was quick, but he held back the chief judge, but this chubby figure couldn't hold it up at all~ He could only take advantage of the situation and put the person on the ground and then took off the face guard: "Are you okay? "

Why are you all right~ dizziness~ "163 times!"

Ok?
"I got hit in the face 163 times~"

"Then you are quite experienced!"

Hey, hey, is this the time to talk about this?

The chief referee is a position that is held by the referees of a coaching staff in rotation.

When working, they will wear thick protective gear on the inside of their black clothes, and they will also wear a face guard similar to that of a catcher on their heads, just to protect themselves in this dangerous position.

Ah~ I didn't expect to be recruited more than 100 times!
Is the salary okay?um~
"Hey! Stay awake!" Shen Qin snapped his fingers. Seeing that people's eyes were focused on him, he began to support the eyes of the chief judge. There was only a seam left in the fat one: "No problem, dizziness Are you ringing in your ears? Do you feel like vomiting?"

"Not at all! I was just dumbfounded!"

"Are you considering changing the head referee? Do you have the number of people according to the major league standards?"

"Not at all." The chief judge grabbed Shen Qin and used his strength to get up. It seemed that he was really going to lose weight, and now he felt that everything was strenuous!have a look!It's the same as wiping a baseball, Shen Qin can dodge it, but he can only bear it abruptly!

0-1!

"Strike!" In the end, the referee completed his rebellion with a conscientious bow arm.

Jr. Ball also came forward to inquire in embarrassment, and he was relieved when he saw that there was really nothing wrong with the person. This is a sports game, and he couldn't see players, referees, or other related personnel being injured because of it!
In other words, this Shen Qin, who is alive and kicking now, even experienced the coach who hit the base, it is not easy!
