soul of baseball

Chapter 75

I've always wanted to take the time to change the English name from the previous article...I've been...too lazy to move...it's hopeless...

Uesugi Hideya was still a little strange in his heart. It was Shen Qin's movements behind the home plate that were a little strange and familiar. Where did he see them?

When Ozawa was squatting, it was obviously not like this. He kept squatting quietly and steadily, and occasionally got up to move his lower legs by passing the ball.

But Shen Qin is completely different, he looks like an ADHD patient in comparison.It's been moving!If the passer does not stand up, he will kneel and straighten up, and let the boy squat back to the original position. Although it is just one more movement, it will delay more time, which is too much ink.Also not afraid to upset the pitcher's rhythm.

In fact, Shen Qin has no idea of ​​controlling the rhythm at all, because he has no experience. No matter how talented he is, an inexperienced catcher cannot be considered a good catcher. He is now like a person groping alone.

Don't look at how calm he was in catching the ball before, but Shen Qin was nervous, and the excitement of being a catcher for the first time was gone.It was replaced by admiration for Yuri.Only when you really squat in this position can you realize how strong Yuri is and how naive your original thoughts are.

Standing on the batting ground feels completely different than crouching behind home plate.The former focuses on the batter, while the latter focuses on the whole court.

Looking at the past from the low position, while guiding the pitcher and observing the batter, you also need to coordinate the fielders. This is just the simplest situation. If there are runners on the base, or even more than one, then you need to pay more attention. It is necessary to observe their distance from the base at any time, whether they have the desire to steal bases, or whether they want to implement hit and run tactics. These are not only technical things, but also the accumulation of experience.

You must know that Yuri is currently 27 in his peak state, and he can be considered super young in the professional baseball circle at the age of 28. At his age, many talented players are still accumulating experience in minor league adjustment skills, and he has already established himself in the big league. The league has been around for a few years.What a terrifying talent and ability.

Because Shen Qin, who has always been praised by Yuri as talented, is always a little complacent, and coupled with his excellent dynamic vision, it is inevitable that some small emotions of pride are in it, but it is strange, but at this moment he feels a little inferior. How far can talent take him?Will it really be comparable to Yuri in the future?No!There is no need to compare, maybe as long as he can achieve his achievements in the future, even if he is a little older, he will probably be able to wake up from his dreams with a smile, right?

How many players have never touched a World Series championship ring in their entire lives.

I don't know why, at this moment, Shen Qin suddenly remembered a sentence from a professional football commentator, the most important thing to be a backup catcher is not skill, but acceptance of fate!Recognize your own position, you don't need to be self-motivated, just do your job well and play instead of the main catcher when he is resting.

The team does not allow disputes between players, which will cause disharmony in the entire team, and even form cliques to affect the record!So you have to accept your fate!Do not fight or grab!Get paid obediently!

This is the helplessness of reality. If you are inferior to others, you can only admit it!
I don't want to be a substitute!Shen Qin knocked on his mask fiercely, his gaze became firm.

The center of gravity of the body is tilted on the left knee bent forward, and the right leg is put on the back, but the gloves are slightly lowered under the chest.

Uesugi Hideo was also surprised, this is the bottom of the center, if this kind of place is a little bit up, it will be in the middle of the red.He wanted to shake his head, but Shen Qin's firm eyes made him hesitate, why not?give it a try?Anyway, the number of goals leads...

"Bang!" The fast straight ball went straight into the glove.

The hitter looked sideways at the catcher in disbelief, how could this be a red shot?Don't you say the inner corner?
Of course not the inside corner!This is misleading.The center of gravity of the body is extremely close to the hitter, which naturally means an inside corner kick.

And the bad ball that missed in the first swing was a low inside corner ball, so the hitter naturally didn't want to be cheated again, and it was only natural that he would choose to let it go, and Hideya Uesugi's weird release point also caused The hitter has no time to judge, and it is too late when he feels something is wrong.

Shen Qin is using this kind of inertial thinking, you think it is ~ but it is not!Moreover, the body obviously leaned forward to approach the batterer, and the range was so large that the batterer would have no doubts.

The beater looked at Shen Qin's obviously smiling eyes and reacted: it's really sinister!
When the number of balls came to 2 good and 1 bad, Shen Qin still maintained the original posture, only patted his right hand on his feet when moving the glove, and pointed his fingers down to the ground.

Uesugi Hideo can be regarded as understanding the pain of not being able to get through the code.In his heart, he silently rolled his eyes again, why on earth did he say such arrogant things like where his gloves are placed and where he casts?The gloves are still in place at the moment, so what does the gesture with the right hand mean?Vote there?Or let the cast dig sweet potatoes?
This is too weird!Digging sweet potatoes is impossible!Hideo Uesugi couldn't hold back his face, so let's take the outer corner of the pitcher's pen. If you can't catch it, you don't blame yourself. What's the matter with leading the ball.

ball!

To be deceived is to be a fool!The hitter swung his stick, but he immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately leaned forward, as long as he touched the ball and went out of the sideline, it would be fine!
The stick has been stretched out, but the ball stopped falling and just fell to the ground in front of the home plate. It was a large sweet potato!
This kind of ball catcher should not be able to catch it!

Hideo Uesugi wanted to cover his face too!What a joke!Why on earth would I throw this kind of ball!

"Bang!" There was a dull sound!

Shen Qin, who was originally close to the inside corner of the hitter, was already moving quickly on his toes, and his glove firmly caught the missed pitch.

What speed is this!Hideo Uesugi was also dumbfounded!Are good catchers slow?Just thinking about it like this, but his eyes stopped on Shen Qin's feet. Is it the reason why he kept stepping on his feet all the time?But the expression may be that the task has been completed after receiving the ball, and at this time it has changed into a relaxed Asian squatting.

So you think too much?
Of course, the person who was hit by K was even more speechless!The three times I swiped the sky were completely fooled!The first ball was cheated by the ball!The last two balls were cheated by the catcher. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?Before the end of the game, the hitter gave the new shooting partners a supercilious look.

The pitcher expressed his innocence, he didn't understand at all!He's embarrassing too, isn't he?
Shen Qin, the central character of the trick, is not in a happy mood, because the homework before the game is too important. No wonder Yuri is always watching various reports, data and videos during the break. There are teammates but also opponents. It seems The old Chinese saying is really very reasonable, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles!
It can be said that in addition to the memory of the pitcher's pitching on the sidelines, the greater reason for the hitter who just solved it is luck. The hitter is a brain-loving person, so he can fool around, so it is much easier!If you come to a big swing by feeling, that's the biggest problem.

But it's hard to say later, he doesn't have the information of everyone present, they are all strangers!Even the only pitcher who can communicate verbally does not have a good pitch!The next hitters can only fumble while hitting!
amen!Although Shen Qin was not a believer, he was also a scholar, Yuri, who silently crossed himself!
Bless the next hitters to play with their brains!
He has always believed that what is more terrifying than smart people is the kind of people who do things based on their feelings!

This sixth sense without scientific basis is often effective and frightening!You can't cheat!so what should I do now?
"pause!"

Shen Qin raised his hand to signal to run up to the mound!Wrong password is simply fatal!It's his first time playing as a catcher!You can't just lie all the time!
