Chapter 514 The Key to the Third Scene

Jodl is a very timid pitcher. When he ran out of the bullpen, Shen Qin even thought that he saw himself as a catcher for the first time. He lowered his head all the way, and the brim of his hat was also lowered. , the whole person is too shy.

Has been behind the catcher Harrison.

Harrison really wanted to put his helmet on the opponent's head, that's right~ I can't wait to twist it a few more times, this is true, the future ace is a coward!

~
UMBC's lineup is also undergoing major adjustments today, and I don't know what combination Kara wants to find in actual combat.

(This list is no different from the official game, and it is easy to read. They are bat times, defensive positions, and left and right. R is right, F is left, and S is left and right.)
If the DH system is implemented, there will be no pitcher hitting.

1: 2B Pepe R (second base)
2: 1B Nolan R (first base)
3: DH Scherzer S (designated hit)
4: 3B Manny S (third base)
5: SS Nishikawa R (guerrilla)
6: CF Papa L (center field)

7: C Shen Qin R (catcher)
8: LF Salvador R (left field)

9: RF Ramos L (right field)

It is not an exaggeration to describe this lineup as weird.

Salvador is the catcher himself, and Ramos is the first baseman off the bench. It is really confusing to be thrown on the outfield like this!
However, the combination of skillful hitters and gunners will indeed be very bluffing!

Moreover, the possibility of seeing this kind of pitcher as a DH after entering the professional game is very low.Speaking of which, the Persian cat's bunt ability with both left and right bows does not know whether it can become a surprise soldier!
~
"Because we want to win! Today's most critical game! We want to win! We must win! Ramos and Salvador have been training in the left and right outfields for more than a month, and their skills can't be said to be better than regular outfielders How much, but at least the arm is strong enough to bluff people." Tonight's Kara was very serious: "Use the way UCLA dealt with us to fight back!"

Generally speaking, there is no incentive before the game, but Kara clapped her hands heavily: "You all calm down!"

"Yes!"

Young people always have all kinds of weird interests. After the serious response to the coach, they collectively turned their heads to face the camera in the lounge, with hideous faces!Knowing that the audience in the outside lounge laughed, they all relaxed, and decided to wait until the end of the game to re-search the video and screenshots and post them on the Internet!
Today's celebration has also been improved!Do you want to play your team's style~
Speaking of this, during the Japan-US exchange game, the American major league All-Star team often used exaggerated dance moves. The whole team was in a playful mood, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.On the other hand, the Japanese team is too serious!

"What did you hide just now?" Nolan picked up Shen Qin who was hiding at the back in the freeze-frame video just now: "You didn't even take a picture of your face, did you?"

"Absolutely not!" Shen Qin said with certainty!God knows why my lovely teammates want to come up with such a stimulating 'photographer' thing!It's great to do it by yourself, do you want to show your big face?

"Where isn't it? You're hiding behind Coach!"

When it's time to sell, you must sell it mercilessly: "No! Really! It's Coach who is too big and bouncing around to block me!" He poked the person in front of him: "Yes right?"

"That's right!" Even if he was about to laugh, he had to admit it righteously. These few days are the critical period!

"!#￥#@%!"

Nolan scolded and left, Shen Qin quietly asked: "What did he say?"

"Niaoyu, say we are a bad couple."

"Dog male and female?"

Cough~ "We don't need to find adjectives for it." Coach picked up the protective gear: "I'm going to the cowshed, are you going?"

This kind of pre-game work should have been the job of a bullpen catcher, but Shen Qin was ranked 7th today. The possibility of hitting in the first half of the first inning is very good, and there is no need to carry it in the waiting room all the time. Also followed.

……

Pepe is a typical light hitter. His power is not very strong, but he can always hit the ball so that it is difficult to defend and fall into those defensive gaps.And he is not in a hurry at all. The stick is so sticky that the pitcher is extremely annoying. He is the hitter who consumes the most balls in UMBC in the three games played this season. On average, he consumes 6.3 balls per bat, which is very scary. The thing is, if you hit 5 times in a game, it means that the pitcher will spend 31 balls to deal with him. If you think about this amount for every hitter, the total can reach a terrifying 279 in a game. ?Which team can handle it!

Carla's intention of putting Pepe first is very clear, that is to consume the opponent's patience between shooting and catching. The number of good shots is the top priority. Of course, extremely high ball selection ability is also a must.

Number one!Hit base of course!

Nolan, the second-best player, has always been UMBC's immovable first baseman. It's really amazing.If he can perform stably, the possibility of advancing the first bat is very high. After all, his strikeout rate is quite low, and his body adjustment ability is very good.

Afterwards, the third DH did not choose a strong bat, but let Scherzer, the best bunt pitcher in the team, play it. Kara couldn't bear him to swing a big bat, so his task today was to implement tactics such as forcing points and sacrificing bunt. ~ In a word, it is a short stick!
In fact, bunt skills are not a must-have skill for American players. Their bold and enthusiastic personality naturally affects their striking style!Not only does he like to swing a big stick, but he also follows the flying ball revolution and pursues a swing with a high elevation angle!

The small ball tactics that come from the extension of the short stick naturally make the players dislike it. It is only for certain situations.

If there are any exceptions, it is probably pitchers. Players who have already positioned themselves as pitchers in the future will learn bunt skills.Because after entering the major leagues in the future, if you are in a national league without a DH system, then the pitchers will have to hit the field. In order to better protect the pitchers, most coaches will not let the pitchers swing. It's coming in handy!

No one wants to be an idiot who sends out innings, and pitchers also want to use their bats to contribute to their teammates!

Coincidentally, Scherzer is the kind of pitcher who has practiced his bunt skills very well. If he must give an example for comparison, then if he is the best bunt hitter on the team!Shen Qin is the tail of the crane.

Scherzer himself was also very surprised by this, Shen Qin was such a strong club, and his bunting skills were so bad that he couldn't stand it!

And it's useless to practice!No improvement!
