soul of baseball

Chapter 519

Shen Qin watched Scherzer's actions and couldn't help but whistle. It felt so good to have a pitcher or catcher run out of the infield to hit. Although it generally didn't have a big impact on the game, it was very interesting.

"Qin Qin~" Kou Chi touched his nose, he always felt that Shen Qin's actions just now were a bit, uh~ a bit like those boys teasing passing beauties? "Ahem, this is not good, whistle."

oh!Shen Qin's eyes widened, why did he learn the moves of this little bastard by himself? !No way! "Misunderstanding! Natural reaction! I can't control it!"

It's better not to explain it!Coach stretched out his hand and patted him on the head: "Do you think it's Cat and Little Ball who are in trouble? Or this pair?"

Huh? "And you?"

"Probably, it will be these two?"

Shen Qin was a little surprised, because the skills of Mao'er and Little Bauer have been in contact since last summer, and they are of an absolute standard. Why are they being compared by the newcomers in a short while?
"Qin Qin thinks cats are more difficult to deal with?"

"It's not..."

"Windproof and warm!" Kou Chi moved over and stuffed his sleeves into Shen Qin's sleeves. His hand came over after a while, but was squeezed behind his body and couldn't be seen: "Is it warm?"

Is it warm or not? Shouldn't this be a question of courage? ... Half a ring... "Warm~"

The latter became complacent, and the topic turned back to the right track at this moment: "Little Ball has a very gentle personality. Apart from bluffing, Maoer is also a very good person. We all know that they will not deliberately come here. I won’t use those bad ways to hurt myself, so I feel relieved, and naturally I won’t find it too troublesome. But these two guys are different, they are more familiar with each other.”

"And ah... haven't you noticed that the catcher is particularly gloomy? The face has been black all the time, and the pitcher has changed back and forth. Just now he looked shy, now~huh~"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pinch me!" Shen Qin stared blankly: "Aren't you stupid! Don't people come here with a blushing face in normal games? The weather is so cold that it's freezing blue!"

Thinking about it, he squeezed his tickling hand: "Your hands are not warm! Can you throw this ball well? Do you want me to get the pine tar off?"

The latter was really taken aback by this topic, and asked softly, "Qin Qin, do you have a fever?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Shen Qin really didn't want to let Kou Chi wipe it, but just worried that he could not control the ball because of the cold weather: "I use it, not you!"

Coach’s current stage is different from Hideo Uesugi’s back then. The latter was poisoned by pine tar since he was a child, and he didn’t know his true ball-handling ability at all.And Coach is different, his foundation is very solid.

"Look!" Shen Qin pointed to the home plate in the distance: "Harrison's gloves glowed under the light, and he was covered with pine tar!"

Pine tar is actually a normal thing in the major leagues. No one will publicly say that they use it, but if they do, no fool will come out and say it. (Actually, there is such a fool, only one! He said that others use pine tar blabla~ but no one said anything, everyone uses it!)

In the major leagues, everyone prefers that pitchers use pine tar to enhance their ball control, otherwise they will be the ones who hurt people. Some people even suggested that the prohibition of pine tar should be erased to save money. As long as it is not too obvious, no one will will say.

"But……"

Shen Qin grabbed his hand again: "But, the weather is so cold, and you don't really shoot close shots... Well, seriously, you can actually use it at this age, right? Besides, my left-hand shot Sir, just use it when the weather is cold, just stop when it gets warmer, and avoid it during normal training, it won't have any bad effects on you."

Kou Chi pinched it back again, he really didn't expect that one day Shen Qin would take the initiative to propose to himself to use pine tar, how angry was he when he found out about Xiuya?

Well, now that I am over 20 years old, those players who have entered the profession after graduating from high school should also start to be exposed to these things now, right?And what about the left caster~ hehe~ pinch~
"Stop pinching!"

"No!"

Hicks, who was sitting on the bench behind the two, could only see the moving paws behind the two, and really didn't know what to say!

Did you make a mistake!

……

Shelzer wears a fat glove on his right hand that is slightly away from the base bag. Others use it for protection when stealing bases. As for him, stealing bases is not stealing, but he must protect his hand whether he is on base or holding back. .

And standing on the strike zone is Manny, and it is also the arrangement that Carla least understands about playing Shen Qin on the line.It is too strange for a rookie to hit the fourth bat in the most important game as soon as he comes up!

"He doesn't flip his wrists."

"what?"

In terms of being on the field, Coach is actually a shortstop, and he is also a hitter who can shoot left and right. Naturally, he has his own way of hitting. He only compares his swing posture: "He doesn't turn his wrist!"

The structure of the human body means that once a hitter reaches a certain distance from the bat when striking, the wrist of the front hand will naturally turn upward. Such striking behavior will make it difficult to pull up the ball and will often hit it into a ground ball.This physiological behavior is difficult to change.

All the players have to do is to pull the hitting point closer to their body to reduce the angle of wrist turn, thereby reducing the chance of grounding the ball.

When it comes to this, it is naturally the credit of modern baseball, statistics and research, to find out which points need improvement.

But Shen Qin really heard this for the first time, and he was a little confused: "What do you mean?" He simulated the action again: "Can you turn your wrist? I can't either? Did I make a mistake? I There is no reason to say this."

"No!" Kou Chi has always been very concerned about Shen Qin's hitting, so he grabbed his hand and drew a striking arc: "Whether your hitting point is in the front or back, your wrist will not turn, is it It’s because of this Yuri that I didn’t tell you, probably it’s unnecessary, you’ve always been good at striking, and so is your wrist talent, there’s no such thing as wrist turning.”

As he said that, he simulated it again: "Look at me, come over and move the waistline forward, and the wrist will be turned."

"Hey! Really! How could this happen?"

"Because I'm an ordinary person."

Shen Qin blinked and became excited: "So I'm a baseball genius?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face was pinched and pulled by both sides. It was probably because what he just said was too harsh. Not to mention that Coach didn't hesitate to strike. Even the other pitchers in the bullpen all made disdainful noises.

"Do you want to be so narcissistic? Just keep it in your heart. There are so many people here?"

Shen Qin smiled and leaned over, his voice was much softer: "Then tell me, am I born to play baseball? I don't even turn my wrists!"

"Hey hey hey! Aren't we talking about Manny?"
