Chapter 557 No. 4 for you to wear
Yuri looked at the child wearing the No. 4 jersey in front of him and sighed.

Unlike student baseball players whose back numbers are fixed, the head coach is No. 30, and general coaches are 27, 28/29. MLB Major League Baseball has a lot of requirements for players’ back numbers, except for coaches. In the early days, it was stipulated that starting players should be No. 1-8 , No. 9 is for the backup catcher.The other starting pitchers are numbered 10-15, and the rest of the players use numbers 15-26.

To be honest, there was no back number at all at first, and the Indians set a precedent later, but at that time the number was on the left sleeve, and the back number was carried forward in the hands of the New York Yankees.

The Japanese professional baseball still maintains the tradition of the main player wearing a small jersey.

Now, some rules have changed. In the past, the small jerseys were given to the main players, but now more and more big-name players are wearing large jerseys, like the home run judge in the 17th season. He wears '99' jersey.

But in the end, some factors were affected by the original. Most pitchers ranked ninth in batting times, but the No. 9 was first used by the backup catcher, and the No. 1 was used by the ace, but the history of the major leagues is too long. Most teams The No. 1 jersey has already retired, so it has created the habit of pitchers today to use the back number starting with the word 1, such as No. 11, No. 17, No. 18, and No. 19 are all popular among pitchers.

I don’t know if it’s a superstition or a Feng Shui problem. The back number is actually very magical. Some users of the back number are just like gods. For example, No. 22 is used by most players, and there are a bunch of ancient gods. No. 27 is even more scary. Look Look at the list of active masters!Undoubtedly number one!

As for the St. Louis Cardinals, an old-fashioned team, a lot of jerseys with single-digit back numbers have long been returned. Now only Yuri’s own No. 4 is likely to be retired and is in use. No. 3 used to belong to Great God Pujols, it's a pity that he went to the Angels, and the process was not so friendly.

If ~ Yuri thought that if Shen Qin could come to take over his class, then it would be the best to be able to wear his No. 4 jersey too!

...I am the dividing line...

Shen Qin has never been a pitcher before. He has rotated in and out of the field since his Little League days, and even started squatting behind him. Unlike the kids who all started on the mound, he has never called a timeout. Standing on the mound at other times, it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I haven't thought about it.

I was really excited to have this opportunity today, and jumped on the indoor board twice.

Taylor is now helping him to arrest him. I heard that he didn't start today, so he came here early in the morning.

Shen Qin is star-eyed. In fact, there are many good players in the major leagues, and there are also fresh and handsome guys, like the most handsome Redick in the league?Many Chinese fans call him team grass, but he still thinks Taylor is definitely the best among them!

No matter the face shape or facial features, they all look great!

I usually watch it on TV, the calf is very slender, but the belly looks thick.Rare opportunity to see it with your own eyes!Be sure to ask! "Can you you can I see your belly?"

(adapted from facts)
Taylor was only two years older than Shen Qin, and he had just entered the major leagues. He was a child at heart, and with Yuri as a senior, he was naturally more satisfied with the problem. He immediately lifted up his clothes and took a breath: " Look at it as you like! Touch as you like!”

Shen Qin was almost speechless, how could a person who is a little bit taller than him have such a figure?Stretched out his hand and poked it, it was hard! "How can you be so strong?"

Taylor smiled and pulled off his clothes: "My dad was a former bodybuilder in Canada. I used to be obsessed with doing similar things when I was a child, and then I went to play ice hockey. You know, Canada likes this very much. It is violent and has a natural body. It's coming to the strong one. You are doing well now, don't make me exaggerate."

Ice hockey is indeed very violent, and the audience will also jostle and jostle him, and sometimes the players will listen and push, and then the one-on-one will bring the climax of the game. Shen Qin doesn't know this Is it on purpose or for something else~
But he really likes Taylor's figure, a handsome guy's delicate head with a burly figure!oh!The contrast is cute!
It won't work if it comes to yourself!A round face with a plush figure?That's Dabai (●—●), right?
"Come on! Try throwing a ball!"

Shen Qin can only play the four-seam fastball that he knows how to play. It's impossible to imitate the tricks of other kick-off guests. Just don't throw too hard.

He doesn't worry about the four seams, he usually passes the ball like this.

"Qin Qin stepped forward with his front leg! Don't use too much force!"

After all, there is a huge difference between the usual passing and killing movements and the pitcher's. Shen Qin's footsteps can't go far, and his shoulders can't be opened!The ball smashed into a sweet potato~
Both Yuri and Ji Jia who came down from the upstairs laughed. Yuri can speak in this regard, but like Shen Qin, he has never been a pitcher before, and he is also a person who is not good at talking and acting.

Ji Jia touched Shen Qin Honghong's face, then moved his hands to his shoulders for support: "Don't listen to Yuri's bullshit, he might not vote as well as you, he is worried, you can vote as you like, we I'll stand next to you later, it's not difficult to hit the strike zone, right?"

Shen Qin calmed down a bit, of course he couldn't hit the strike zone, he was just as accurate when he knelt and passed to second base!I also did the usual ball-feeding exercises.

"Try it!"

"Qin Qin draw a circle!" Kou Chi jumped up and said, "Don't press your right leg so low!"

Taking a deep breath, Shen Qin knew that the circle that Kou Chi said meant drawing a small arc on the leg that was going out. Kou Chi himself was good at using this to reduce the range of motion and the overall speed of pitching!

Because the two of them practiced together all day, Shen Qin also occasionally learned to play. Although he hadn't tried it with the ball, at least the movements were familiar, plus Ji Jia's shoulder pull, try it?

Just try it!
The right leg is slightly bent, and the left leg is moved out and fixed in front of the body, leaning forward with the body, and throwing!
The ball is out!

Straight into the red!

Shen Qin felt embarrassed, and couldn't help feeling that he really didn't have the talent to be a pitcher. This ball is no problem to kick off, but if it's in a game, it's like sending a point ball, with a low speed and a straight ball in the middle!

Touching his nose and joking: "I think the Japanese professional coach will definitely like my straight ball." After speaking, he shook people when he saw no response: "Why don't you talk!"

"Wow!" Taylor, who caught the catch, jumped up: "I almost missed it! Your ball is too fast! I can't believe it was thrown by a catcher!"

"Is it soon?"

"Very soon! Wait for the kick-off and another one, let the live screen report it! Scared!"

Shen Qin reached out and touched the other person: "99 steps!"

Yuri stopped with a smile: "Wait until the reporter comes, don't make such a big deal, it's still 99, why are you only a hundred."
