Chapter 578 163 The Captain and the Home Run Contest
When Shen Qin went to the stadium, he received a big news!So he hurried back to the room again, he wanted to ask Xi Chuan and Yuri for their opinions.

This year's All-Star Game in the major leagues invited him to the amateur home run contest before the home run contest. (Actually, he is a high school student, and the time for the all-star game has also been advanced for the plot)

Xi Chuan closed the computer when someone entered the door, and turned the phone to mute by the way: "What's wrong? You're panting like this?"

Shen Qin excitedly ran over to tell the news. In fact, he was not excited to go to the All-Star scene. Yuri can bring his family with him every year when he participates in the election.

But being a family member and being a player can be the same!

"How is it? Do you think I'm going?"

Xi Chuan smiled and pinched the other party's face: "You want to go so much, and you still ask me what I do? Yuri must be very happy, after all these years, we can finally go together once."

Shen Qin rubbed his face in embarrassment, trying not to raise the corners of his mouth so much: "Why would you invite me!"

"Do you want me to praise you again? Alright! We, Qin Qin, are the best!"

"But someone has to feed the ball!"

The home run contest requires a special feeding pitcher to throw a sweet slow ball to the batter. It is an exhibition game to show power, but as long as the player is invited, it is an absolute recognition, and this is broadcast live across the United States , It is also an excellent stage for fans to get to know players.

And you can also exchange views with the professional players present.

Xi Chuan smiled and said: "There are eight places in total, you are great!"

Shen Qin happily contacted Yuri, and after everything was confirmed, he set up a time with Kara, and only after there was no problem, did he send a message saying that he would definitely be able to participate.

"Wow! I didn't even think of that! I can go before I'm a professional!"

This game is right before the Major League Home Run Derby, at the same venue!There is no partition in the middle, that is to say, the game must be played with a full audience, and special technological products will be used to record the player's swing speed, elevation angle, and flight distance to obtain accurate information.

"But ah~" Xi Chuan blinked: "There is a very true rumor that players who participate in the perfect hit contest will sluggish for a long time afterward!"

Speaking of this, Shen Qin is very confident! "I don't play by luck!"

"Bah bah bah! A baseball player can't say that!"

Shen Qin squeezed over. It's true that baseball players can't say these things. There are some things that can't be explained by common sense.

"I don't know who else will participate besides me?"

Xi Chuan picked up his mobile phone and searched before saying, "Now there is only one Tolia."

Shen Qin blinked: "Didn't you think that the handsome guy in the toilet and I would meet again so soon?"

"Handsome guy in the toilet?"

"The first time I met him, I said we were in the bathroom!"

Xi Chuan flicked his forehead angrily, and the kid was getting more and more out of his mind: "You don't have to care about who the opponent is, this is not a team competition, just be yourself!"

"Oh! Are there any rules?"

"With wooden bats, whoever hits more hits within 4 minutes wins. If it's a tie, there will be overtime. If you can hit two home runs over 4 feet away within the stipulated 30 minutes, you can get an additional [-] seconds of overtime. So. Qin Qin, you don’t want to win, you want to have a specific understanding of your data, of course, this is also a good way to show it to others!”

Shen Qin obediently nodded his head and responded: "Then what, is Tolia really good? I only saw one of his beating seats last time. His skills are very comprehensive and there is nothing wrong with that, but what about durability? Playing for 4 minutes in a row It’s a big stick, ordinary people can’t do it.”

"Then can you do it!"

"Of course I can!"

Xi Chuan smiled and went to pinch people, and after a while, he turned to the serious topic: "Of course Tolia is very powerful. Do you think he won the NCAA D1 home run king is a fake? His power is special. Well, it belongs to the kind of body that God rewards with food."

"Tsk~"

"Don't talk!"

"Yes~" Shen Qin stared: "I didn't feed the pitcher!"

"Go to the stadium to warm up, and I'll be late again." Xi Chuan drove people out of bed: "Don't be coquettish and cute at my place! I have fed you balls for so many years, should I leave you this time?"

Only then did Shen Qin proudly carry his bag and go out, feeling very touched in his heart.

Thinking about it, it's true, he and Coach practiced together every day, but Xi Chuan helped him in normal times, except for the official ball of the ball machine. It's been quite a few years.

……

Because of the delay on the road, Shen Qin was still late. He only called Kara to ask about the home run contest, but the latter was not unhappy. A small tactical card was issued.

oh!Shen Qin didn't have it, people who show off their good memory all day long don't deserve it!

"Salvador!" Porcello came out from behind Kara holding a dark blue underwear: "Put it on!"

The players froze for a moment, and then applauded enthusiastically. Only Shen Qin looked confused: "What kind of operation is this? Isn't our inner lining only black?"

"Hush!" Coach leaned over and bit his ear: "Are you stupid, Yuri has been wearing black balls for so many years, and you still ask this?"

Shen Qin really didn't know, how would he pay attention to this in normal times, but now that he thinks about it, Yuri really wears a black lining in his jersey, while all the Cardinals players except him are wearing red.

"I really don't know, why why? El Salvador is also special?"

Coach blinked enviously: "This is an honor that a pitcher will almost never get! The symbol of the captain!"

Shen Qin exclaimed in a low voice, the identity of team captain is a very special existence in the major leagues.

Although the major league now integrates the National League and the American League with a total of 30 teams, not every team has a captain. This identity is of great significance to the team. Only truly meritorious players can live this honor.

In other words, all players who have obtained this status are extremely unattainable.

For example, New York playboy and Hollywood lover Kit is the captain of the Yankees, a great shortstop.

The captain of another New York-based major league team, the Mets, has also been Min Zhen for many years!

As the best catcher of this century, Yuri naturally became the captain of St. Louis.However, the fans cheered for him with nicknames, so Shen Qin is still in a daze until now. (Not every team uses the liner to differentiate.)
"So, so! El Salvador is the captain!?"

"Just reacted?"

Shen Qin was really a little surprised, it was too cruel and Salvador was too friendly in the process of getting along, and he never felt his right to speak in the team.
