soul of baseball

Chapter 67
Thank you Ge Yun for the reward. In addition, because I want readers who don't understand baseball to understand, some introductions will be written in a trivial way. I hope you don't mind...

……

The catcher's training was officially put on the agenda after that day, and Shen Qin also wanted to learn more from Yuri during the offseason.

After all, there is not much time after the start of the game, because baseball games are a series of series, and sometimes it is normal to go to an away game for three or four days. When the weather is bad and the stadium has no roof, It's not uncommon for it to be delayed for a few days, but sometimes there are good things, such as double matches, the players have worked hard, but the audience can watch it very happily.

The importance of a good coach is self-evident, especially when this coach talks about Yuri, what he taught Shen Qin is not only the basic skills of being a catcher, but also the personal skills he has explored over the years. Technology, this is the most precious.

As a catcher, in addition to paying attention to and guiding the pitcher in real time, he must also understand the characteristics of each fielder in each defensive position to the greatest extent.

Most of the fielding positions will be arranged according to the fielder's technical and physical conditions.

The main job of the first baseman is to defend the bases and catch the passes of his teammates to complete the assassination.Because left hits are less than right hits, in fact, there are not too many opportunities to face the attacking fly balls hit by left hits. In addition, it is enough to pay attention to fly balls outside the first base line, so the workload is actually relatively speaking. Not too big, because of this feature, most first basemen don’t need to move, and most of the time they stand on the base bag to catch the ball, so most first basemen are oversized, in addition to reducing the amount of activity, it can also prevent Was bumped off the bases.

Therefore, the first baseman is mostly played by the team's heavy artillery. Of course, the body size must also be within a certain range, otherwise he can't even jump and can only be a DH.

As a second baseman, because he is close to each defensive position, he does not require high arm strength, but because he has to take care of both left and right, he requires relatively strong and agile skills.However, because of his size, it is generally difficult for a second baseman to play as a gunner, but there are more skills and speed types.

The third baseman is more complicated, because he is the furthest away from the first base, so he must have strong arms.Then we have to talk about the problem of right hits more than left hits, because as long as the right hitter pulls up and pulls back, the attack ball is basically directed to the direction of third base, so the strength and agility of the body are quite different. High requirements, plus the third base position is the last barrier for the opponent to rush home plate, so although the third baseman is not the busiest, it is definitely the most critical!
Before encountering a crisis, they have to keep a close eye on each position on the field, and also make adjustments at any time according to the requirements of the catcher and the coach, so it is also a key position with great responsibility.This also caused the basic third baseman to be played by a player with a well-developed motor nerve.Therefore, the batting ability is generally not bad, and Shen Zhui has a situation where the third baseman's batting rate leads the team.

A shortstop is an old saying that can be summed up, those who can defend the shortstop can defend any position!After all, between the second and third bases is the place where there are the most hit balls, and there are many runners on the bases, and it is often necessary to judge in time which position to pass first. This can be said to be the key figure in deciding a double play or even a triple play!In many cases, whether the shortstop's choice is correct often affects the outcome of a game.

Because of the large range of movement and high degree of choice, shortstops not only require the most flexible skills, but also must have strong arm strength, and the accuracy of passing must be guaranteed on the basis of the above.

The left field is a very magical place. To put it simply, there are not many balls that land there due to the increase in player strength in adult games. The left fielder needs to maintain concentration throughout the game. However, due to the The distance from the third base is close, so there is no big requirement for arm strength.

This is why left fielders are widely criticized as the worst overall fielder.

So many heavy guns are often thrown to left field when they are out of first base.

The center fielder is played by the fastest player. Of course, it is difficult to determine whether the center fielder or the shortstop is faster.

Center fielders have the widest defensive range, and they need to run fast because they are far from every position and have good arm strength.However, many players who were left center fielders in their student days later transformed into pitchers. This is also an inexplicable inheritance among center line players.

But there's one thing all outfielders should keep in mind when it comes to fielding in the professional game!As long as the center fielder shouts to catch the ball, the left and right fielders must get out of the way, otherwise the impact of the outfield running will be terrible.

Right fielders have relatively high requirements for arm strength and passing accuracy, and the standard is equivalent to that of a third baseman passing to first base.The right fielder's main goal is to prevent runners from getting to second base.Or deter runners who want to go to third base to stop obediently.The most classic right fielder represents Japan's Suzuki Ichiro a few years ago, nicknamed 176. He is not tall and thin, but he has a powerful laser shoulder. I don't know how many people died under Tiao's arm.

Shen Qin was completely confused. He knew that the defense on the court was different, but he never thought about it in such detail: "No team said it was arranged like this?"

Yuri smiled and shook his head: "This is the basics of the baseball world, but how can the major leagues be called the best if they still follow these unchanging words? I tell you that you should remember not to use this as a basis for judgment in the future! The catcher's Information cards cannot be trusted 100%.”

Speaking of the catcher's information card, Shen Qin was even more dizzy. Basically every catcher would carry such a card in his wrist protector or in his trouser pocket, but he had never seen Yuri carry it.

I thought so, so I asked this question, at worst, I would make Yuri more proud.Give him a ladder.

However, Yuri did not climb up the ladder this time. Instead, he told Shen Qin very seriously: "It's okay to look at the code on the information card, but you have to remember that you have to believe in your own judgment at the time when dealing with players, because everyone The state of the players is different every day, and you have to make the best guidance and arrangements according to their situation at that time. Therefore, the usual accumulation and pre-match communication and understanding are very important.”

"In addition to playing time with your teammates, you must also communicate well off the court and understand and trust each other. You must know that baseball is not a place where individual heroism can be achieved! One person or even two people cannot influence the team's victory. ! Coordination! Tie-up! These are the most important. Of course, if every shot you take is a home run, then take my words for nothing."

The one who hits all home runs is neither a human being nor a god!That was dreaming!Shen Qin kept Yuri's words firmly in his heart. For him, Yuri's experience is more valuable than his skills!After all, experience is a kind of experience after personal experience. One hundred people have one hundred different experiences. During the period, according to different talents, the experience can be high or low, good or bad, and Yuri's success has proved that his experience is absolute. If it is successful, as a latecomer, Shen Qin just needs to obediently accept and absorb it.

As for improvement, you have to have a certain height, otherwise you will only add to the superfluity, and the gain outweighs the loss!After all, many habits, no matter good or bad, are difficult to change once formed!That's deadly!
