Chapter 484 Don't Read Knowledge Points About Pitcher Hitting
Many people regard the pitcher's batting times as entertainment, but Shen Qin dare not.

He has come into contact with too many monsters!
For example, Coach, although the ability of long hitting is indeed not high, but that is relatively speaking, it is completely different between not high in power hitting and not high in ordinary people.He's an absolute slugger with a great pick and a very high on-base percentage.What's even more frightening is that this guy can hit the home plate straight from the outfield when he warms up!
Looking at McGonagall, who was often in contact with me when I was in Japan, as a starting pitcher who can eat a high number of innings every season, he also has a home run performance every year.

The Cardinals' ace Wainwright also made a bet to motivate the team's pitching staff to take the pitching hit seriously.

Lectra, who was traded out, can even make professional strike teaching!
There is also Baumgarner, the great god of the San Francisco Giants. Of course, there is no need to say much about his pitching level. He not only requires good batting, but he regards this as his hobby!

Leaving aside the pitchers of the National League, American League pitchers will also be required to hit in cross-league games. The Japanese superstar Tanaka Masahiro also worked very hard, and even got injured because of running the bases.

This is of course not a good thing. For example, the light of Taiwan Wang Jianmin, his career was ruined by running the bases.

Therefore, the debate about whether pitchers should hit or not has always been high in professional baseball circles.

After all, pitchers have to use their whole body when pitching, and keep monitoring every part. They hit less in the game, and even less in practice, so that they can easily hurt themselves by accidentally hitting a big stick. The same goes for baserunning, legs and fingers are all risks.

And an injury not only affects hitting, but also affects pitching!

The St. Louis Cardinals' curveball master Wainwright was once the strongest player on the surface of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kershaw held up half the sky among the major pitchers in the National League. When did his pitch go wrong?It was after a blow damaged the Achilles tendon.

But the most regrettable among them is of course the Chinese Wang Jianmin.

Wang Jianmin is undoubtedly the most important figure in Chinese baseball in the past 15 years. It can be said that he is an absolute factor in the rise of the baseball trend.

Now he has already taken off that shirt.

In 2005, Wang Jianmin showed his talents in the New York Yankees, the most terrifying team in the major leagues, and won 19 wins in a single game for two consecutive seasons!
To what extent is the impact on fans exaggerated?His grades will affect the trend of the stock?

In one blow, he tore the ax-holding ligament on the sole of his right foot and several tears to the peroneus longus muscle, which made him unable to regain his original ball speed in the rest of his career!

He voted hard and tried everything he could, but he couldn't go back!
Everyone knows how important ball speed is, although many big pitchers are still full of pressure after slowing down!But that's genius!Also because the cafe is big enough, others will give him a chance!

Wang Jianmin is different, he is Asian!Discriminated Asians!He doesn't have that many chances!

Gioratti, then head coach of the Yankees, would not have given him those chances!Knowing that a genius like Shohei Otani who has the support of all Japan would not dare to play in the New York Yankees, one can imagine how terrifying this team is!
Not only do they have the strongest teammates, they also have the most crazy fans and the most vicious media!
The pressure of a bad shot is not on him alone, but on the head coach, players and team executives!
No one can shoulder such a great responsibility.

Giorati said it very bluntly at the time: "It's okay to pitch, but you have to find the ball speed before you can get back to the major leagues!"

Looking at it today, any pitcher who has won 19 wins in a single season, if his style is not too bad, it is impossible to suffer such treatment!
At that time, when Gioradi said the right words, Wang Jianmin would naturally work harder to do it!

Count with balls!strength!He is back to the Asian fighting training mode in Taiwan!The pressure can be imagined!

God took back his kindness, and Wang Jianmin's shoulder joint and lip were torn!

Shoulder joint lip tear is known as a pitcher killer!As long as it is injured here, there is almost no possibility of recovery!
Everyone saw his experience, sympathy?Have it?Maybe there is!But more of them were straightforward and cold words. Even the guards said, "Don't vote if your hand hurts, go back, you can't vote anyway" and so on.

Every day he has to worry about whether he will be traded to another team, and there are so many media paying attention to him, waiting to give sympathy and ridicule!
After he faded away, Wang Jianmin even lamented that it would be nice if he was not Wang Jianmin.Then as an ordinary player, he can play more happily.

The Major League is a beautiful, distant and cruel dream for baseball players!How many people spend all their time with baseball except when they are resting, and they know nothing more than baseball.

Shen Qin likes to watch pitchers hit, but he doesn't want the pitcher he cares about to hit!It is because there are too many examples like the above!

That's why he was so opposed to Coach's attack this time!Just throw the ball well!What should I do if I get injured after so much hard work and can no longer pitch?
~
The same is true for Ball Jr. who is currently in the strike zone: "You don't have to hit if you like to hit! Coach is also as troublesome as you! Isn't it good to wait until you enter the professional baseball?"

Jr. Ball smiled and shook his head: "You won't be so free when you enter professional baseball! As for injuries, that's fate. Most of the injuries are unintentional, such as carrying luggage, running or even ordinary things. Same goes for cheering."

"But at least it can reduce the chance!"

"That's not important. If I can't pitch, I'll become a fielder. If the fielder can't do it, I'll rely on running for a living! If it still doesn't work, I'll teach the children! In short, I will be able to be with baseball!"

Shen Qin was stunned, it was the first time he heard these words from a child of this age.Even an 'old man' like myself doesn't have the awareness!If you can't play, you will definitely cry, don't want to!
this kid~
"Anyway, pay attention!"

"Yeah!" Little Bauer suddenly leaned over and patted the opponent's helmet: "Don't be angry with the cat, he has a poisonous mouth and a good heart."

Cat~ "We made an appointment to have dinner after the game! Don't worry, I won't fight with children!"

Little Bauer nodded, and then turned his stick and his whole mind fell on the current blow. He didn't think Shen Qin, who was always paralyzed, was so mature, nor did he think that the bluffing cat was so naive. Everyone wanted to For those who play games, there may be quarrels, but fighting is impossible!

Moreover!What could be more satisfying than winning?
