Chapter 517 Miraculous Hunting
Pepe was also a little confused watching in the preparation area, oops, where did such a gentle catcher come from?

He even helped to tie his hair and gave a gesture of touching his head, oops.

If it were his own catcher~uh~ Salvador would smile, but everyone knows that this person is not very talkative, or to put it more bluntly, he is too lazy to communicate emotionally with others, as long as he is obedient.

Another catcher, Shen Qin, is even more troublesome. Although he has a good relationship with him and is usually soft and cute, it is another matter when he treats pitchers. To be honest, he is really fierce on the field and has an easy temper. Explosion, whether it's with one's own family or another's family, they are often tempted on the edge of danger. Scherzer in the team is a good example. The two of them didn't get along well at the beginning, and there were quite a few disputes.

And the dispute with Nolan...

In general, catcher is a symbol of cruelty and trouble!

How can it be changed to the UCLA family today, so mild?
And his pitcher is also very interesting, with a red face and soft hair~
Oops~ Pepe felt that since she entered that room in the morning and heard the mua~ something was wrong with her whole body!

He silently rubbed his eyes, looking at Renji with rotten eyes!
Hey, hey, hurry up and attack!
Huh?How come the pitcher who looked so shy just now is so calm now? ~
As usual, let go of the first ball.

The ball made a high arc and landed in the outer corner~
boom!
0-1!

Although Pepe himself wanted to let go of this strike, the result was a bit depressed.From his point of view, the ball was a very obvious bad ball, but the referee judged a strike. Whether it was interfered by the catcher or his strike zone itself was very large today, it doesn’t matter, what matters is Now it is very certain that UCLA's catcher Harrison is testing, testing the strike zone of today's referee, and also testing whether he can't swing the bat at all on his first pitch!

To be honest, Harrison is really small. Even Pepe, who is a short winter melon, feels taller when he stands on the edge of the strike zone.

The test of ball distribution between pitching and catching was a necessary and popular way in baseball games, but as hitters became more and more fond of the first-bat relationship, it gradually became less and less. There are very, very few catches that do this.

Even Shen Qin, even if Yuri kept asking for it, he wouldn't do it every time.

But Harrison is different. He will take care of all the small details. Minimizing interference for Yoder is the first thing he needs to do.

As long as he can figure out the approximate strike zone, sending two hitters to base is not a big problem in his opinion. He believes in Yodel!Let alone occupying one or two bases, what if the bases are full?My own baby pitcher is the world's number one in controlling the speed of the ball!

Although it's a selfish compliment, it's actually not a big problem if you really want to say it. In the scouting report obtained by the major leagues, Yoddle's changeup was rated as 70 points!
This is the first time ever!And it's a judgment on a college player!Not to mention that he is still a rookie!

The quality of these balls is scored between 20-80 points, and 70 points is the so-called full score!Not to mention college students, even for minor league players and major league stars, the scoring of a single ball is almost the same.

In the words of the fans, it is too fierce!

A real one-trick!

A changeup ball makes a big name!
~
Harrison knelt on the ground and waited, his eyes glanced at the batter's feet. Standing so far in front is not afraid of the touch ball?Or do you think your cowards live off a changeup so the ball is slow and doesn't hurt even if you accidentally hit it?
What are you kidding?In today's baseball, the best thing to watch is speed and power!Besides, why is a changeup pitcher good?Of course the speed difference is bigger!Feel sorry!My coward is still a fireball man!

Almost at the same time Harrison squatted up and put the gloves on, Yoddle's ball was thrown out. This kind of tacit understanding is not only achieved by a good relationship!
No passwords!Don't match the ball!They rely on the absolute understanding of mutual acquaintance!

The presiding judge arched his arms!nice shot!
Huh?Pepe stepped out of the strike zone and rubbed his shoes. The ball just now was too fast!High-speed ball with real and false change-up ball?It's such a hassle!

0-2!

It is already two strikes behind by a large margin, and today's referee has a strike zone as wide as the sea, and he has to swing for those fuzzy good and bad balls at the corners, otherwise it is not a big deal to be struck out standing up. possible things.

Use the speed ball again and destroy it!

Jodl tugged at his braids, took two steps back on the home plate, and then stepped out. The size of his body didn't look too big!
Pepe's stick was thrown out, the angle and strength were no problem!
It's just that the ball came too slowly!The stick has already passed, and the ball is too late!
"OUT!" The chief judge drew his bow!It is hard to avoid being surprised. He has been a referee in the major leagues for 16 years, and he has seen a lot of pitchers. From Baimai's fastball to super slow changeup, this kid's control ability is really terrifying!

~
Pepe swallowed a K, and only allowed the opponent's pitcher to use three balls. It was inevitable to be a little depressed: "Their rhythm is so fast, almost all the catcher and pitcher move at the same time, how do you do this? No need to discuss? The cat and little Bauer weren't that exaggerated that day, right? There must be a pause in the middle, right?"

Salvador rubbed his hands: "Although there is no sample number, I think the two of them should be exclusive to each other. It won't work if the pitcher is replaced by the catcher. The catcher can only produce these tacit cooperation with this pitcher. Don't worry. Play two rounds and see, maybe this pattern means that the children are not necessarily good, maybe there are other, inexplicable reasons, such as pitchers with poor eyesight but don't like to wear glasses? Or quirks, don't like others To match the ball? You know, there are a lot of weirdos in baseball."

Pepe laughed a little. He never thought that Salvador's comforting reasons would be so nonsense: "Do you think everyone is Coach? He is too lazy to wear glasses because the one he is arresting is Shen Qin. Don't worry, now UCLA's The relationship between the two is so good, it’s just a matter of kissing and hugging each other, even if they don’t wear glasses, that’s why they work well together and feel at ease!”

Cough~ "Don't bring up this kind of question."

Huh?Pepe approached curiously, and he always felt that something was wrong: "Are you scared? Nervous?" It was very strange for this kind of emotion to appear on Salvador.
