Chapter 512 Extra Story: Pitchers Are Idiots

"Erics~~" The chubby child ran very fast and got into Alex's arms. He didn't want to lift him up!He wants a big hug!

Erics has always been helpless towards his younger brother. They haven't seen him for more than half a year, and he is still so clingy. He had no choice but to twist his little face and say, "It's heavy again!"

Blonde hair and blue eyes are always the representative of beautiful dolls, but this is actually not common in the United States. Coach’s mother came with Europe, and Alex followed his father and has slightly darker hair. .

"Is there a gift? A gift!" Xiaopang grabbed his brother's hair and said, "There are delicious food!"

Erics laughed. Others brought souvenirs on business trips, so it was his turn to go to training and it was inevitable: "I bought you a lot of chocolate~"

Chocolate~ Coach felt that his mouth was about to drool, and raised his hands to hold his face: "Wow! Can I eat chocolate for a year?"

"You think it's beautiful! Ah! There is also a very beautiful general doll!"

"Wearing a handsome military uniform?"

"No~ it's a beautiful and majestic armor!"

"Wow! Cool!" The soft face leaned over and kissed again: "Brother is the best!"

This kid~ Erics could only hold the child who didn't let go and got into the car, and he refused to get off after coaxing him for a long time~
He even made an appointment with his friends to have dinner together~
"Brother Al! I want to go! He likes me very much!"

Unable to take tough measures against children, Alex still took little Coach to go together~
good?It is impossible to be obedient!
When finding out that there are older brothers and sisters that they don’t know, children will always show two extreme emotions, one is timid and hides without contact, and the other is excited to get close~ Obviously, Coach is the second .

Squeezed in between the couples across from each other, I sat obediently, but this light bulb was really too bright!
The girls are from Asia, they seem a bit cramped, they are all strangers, and it is always awkward to get along with them.

"Parker, is your body okay? Your face doesn't look too good." Erics was always sorry for Parker who was injured by himself. During the intra-team game, his touch ball hit the opponent's hand.

"It's fine now, Bella is taking care of her very carefully."

Bella~~ The girl looked very gentle, and she didn't say anything except expressing her gratitude to Erics for the gift at the beginning.

"What about you? How is the level of private education?"

Speaking of his personal trainer Erics, he couldn't help laughing: "He said, 99% of pitchers are idiots?"

"Huh?" Parker applauded in agreement: "Interesting, why? Didn't you hate him?"

"Of course I did, and I said at least I wasn't. Then he asked me to go up and throw fifty pitches, and he invited different amateur hitters to come in the batter. And when it was over, I felt like an idiot."

"Tell me, tell me!" Al tilted his head, very curious. If Erics is considered an idiot, wouldn't it be that the pitchers want to collectively win the bid?

"The same release point and fixed posture that we have always emphasized, actually have a big disadvantage, that is, when they encounter top hitters, once they figure out the bottom, they don't pay attention to the pitcher Well, have you noticed that there are always a few hitters who are particularly difficult to deal with? They always hit a certain pitcher very well?"

Al and Parker nodded again and again. This kind of thing sounds strange, but it is true.For pitchers, some hitters are sent K again and again, while others are hit again and again.The same is true for hitters. Some pitchers can't hit well, and some pitchers are hits at random.

"This is the problem of not knowing how to adjust! The hitters know where your balls will come from, and there are only a few types of balls. It just so happens that they adapt to the handle very well. Bang~ they won the bid!"

"But this can also confuse hitters!" Al didn't think it was a completely wrong approach: "The same ball point, different ball types, it's hard for others to guess!"

"NO, you missed a key point!" Erics saw the little fat man opposite him starting to covet the things on the table, so he hugged him over and explained while feeding him: "From the same place where the ball is released The difficulty is not very high in terms of different ball types, but to be effective, the most critical process and ball path must be similar. Not many people can do this, and those who can use this Pitchers who have a way of tricking batters, of course, have their own way of doing it, so that's not the case."

"This also reflects the importance of the catcher from the side. If there is no catcher to serve the ball, let the machine catch the catch, and the pitcher who serves the ball haha~ I dare not imagine how tragic the end of the game will be!"

"Catcher, catcher!" The little fat man in his arms turned around: "I will find the most powerful catcher in the future!"

Al smiled and pinched his face: "I think you are so strong, why don't you just be a catcher yourself?"

"No! The catcher is the pitcher's wife! I'm going to be a husband!"

puff!Al couldn't help laughing: "That catcher has to manage so many pitchers, he has so many husbands! Don't cry when the time comes!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Alex plucked at the child's stupid hair: "The catcher is the pitcher's best guide and the partner who needs the most trust. You have to treat the catcher well!"

"Well~ I will be good friends with the catcher!"

Children's thoughts always move very fast. They ramble for a while and then continue to fight for food.

Erics was also able to return to the main topic: "Talent is not something everyone has. When a pitcher does not have the talent of the ball path, he must learn to change himself to confuse the hitter! For example, use different pitches. To throw the same ball with different postures and different release points, or to change your position on the pitcher's board~ Whether you are a hitter or a scout, you will probably get confused. If you adjust it frequently, the effect will be better!"

Parker is a former minor league player, so he naturally has a lot of contact with this aspect: "But this is also very difficult to do. If it is not done well, the pitcher may even hurt himself."

"Yes." Alex took himself as an example: "Luckily, I really want to be suitable for this, but the personal trainer also said that if there is a pitcher who can't do anything well, then reduce the amount of straight balls you use! "

"If a pitcher can only throw straight balls or four-seam balls, then he should start learning the two-seam ball. If he can and uses the above two fastballs well, then of course he should start learning the curve ball. , followed by universal sliding balls and all kinds of weird changing balls, but how much you learn and how much you use depends on your own talent."

"See, the Little League is a place that thinks about how to raise people and make them fat!"
