soul of baseball

Chapter 919 The First Tester

"Of course, the help in the construction of the hometown is indispensable, and people must not forget their roots." Xi Chuan gave a general explanation to the future star: "Uh~ let's deal with the hair, it is too short."

The boy with the standard monk head blinked suspiciously: "It's not easy to deal with it being so short."

"Keep it. After the contract is signed, you will go to Balma to stay for a while, and your skin will become whiter, too dark."

Soichiro's already dark face couldn't be looked at now: "I'm a player, not a star!"

"If you manage your image well, you can sell more jerseys and tickets. By the way, every year there will be awards like the best attire. And~" Speaking of this, Xi Chuan also took a look at Shen Qin, so the "you" became "You guys": "And you don't want to go shopping with your teammates, and you don't know how to get anything except T-shirts?"

Shen Qin and Zongichiro looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

"Oh, and also, Soichiro, don't wear tight pants or anything like that in the future."

"..."

"Qin Qin, what are you laughing at? Are you going fishing with half-height socks?"

"..."

Soichiro got up quickly: "Eat rice noodles, eat rice noodles! Just tell me if there is anything you want to eat in particular?"

Shen Qin followed him, not wanting to be preached anymore: "Do you have chicken wings? I really want to eat fried chicken wings."

"It depends on whether there is any inventory. I don't know if the truck selling goods has come by today. Shall we go to the entrance of the village and have a look?"

"Row."

Xi Chuan helplessly looked at the two people who slipped away~ I felt that those shirtless players wearing floral suits on the red carpet must have been like this before~
At the entrance of the village, a modified bread and a pickup truck just happened to be parked at the moment. Once the shelves were opened, it looked like a convenience store, selling everything, even sashimi bento.

"What's that milk bottle?"

Zong Yilang took a milk jug filled with yellow things and stuffed a few bottles: "It's a common way here. Sea urchins are all packed in milk bottles. Do you like it?"

"good."

"Steamed rice or sashimi?"

"It's all right... right!" Shen Qin said that he didn't know what steaming was, but remembering the fear of being dominated by pink bean rice last time, he asked again: "Is there no coloring in the rice?"

The latter was puzzled: "Why add pigment?"

Okay~ Just don’t add it.

"Do you want to buy anything else?"

"No, we have them at home. Grandparents and uncles are all at home to take care of them. There is no shortage of vegetables and meat. Do you eat curry? Are there any taboos?"

Shen Qin blinked: "Anything is fine."

"Where is the program group arranged? Is there a place to eat and live? Do you need help?"

Shen Qin smiled and nodded, this is still a good and enthusiastic boy: "Of course, we will eat our own."

"Then let's go this way, I'll call a friend, and wait for the caravan to come for a test after eating."

Soichiro's little friend is called Mond, a German-Japanese half-breed who follows his father all over the world.

The young man has a strong body but a very shy temperament.

I'm still very embarrassed about what I was invited to do the test.

However, Shen Qin changed from trying it out to insisting on inviting him!
The physical condition of this person is really good.

The legs are long and so are the arms!Not overly strong but also slender, a bit like a pitcher.

Mond said with some embarrassment: "Although I have learned a lot of pitching training from the Internet, because I have been running around with my father, I have never played a formal game, nor have I experienced professional training with my friends for a long time. training, is this okay?"

Shen Qin squeezed the opponent's forearm, then stepped back and looked at the opponent's waist and hips: "Do you practice anything else besides baseball?"

"Shot put~" Mond said, blushing a little: "Does this count?"

"Of course!" Shen Qin was overwhelmed with surprise: "Wait for the experts to look at it for you. I think your qualifications are very good. Maybe you will be pleasantly surprised?"

"But my ball speed is not fast. According to my test, the fastest speed with four seams is only 94."

"Try and talk."

Soichiro: ...(⊙_⊙)? Why do I suddenly want to be a supporting role?

After dinner, the equipment of the caravan was safely unloaded, and a fairway and a high pitcher's mound were abruptly created.

"Although the bricks placed underneath are different, we have a reference for the hardness, and the clay is also fine, so there shouldn't be too much deviation in the pitching test." Xi Chuan called the staff to come to Mond for debugging , The camera crews were also in place one by one.

Only then did he ask Mond: "What kind of ball are you good at?"

Speaking of this, Mond is a little more comfortable: "Carter, sinker, curveball and so on will be a little bit."

Xi Chuan paused, not knowing how to continue the topic for a while, and coughed twice: "Each ball has 5 ball speeds." Then he asked the staff: "In which order?"

"Four seams, Carter, curveball, sinker, 10 balls each." The staff glanced at Mond: "Can you afford it?"

Mond nodded fiercely: "Yes, now~"

"Warm up first."

Xi Chuan threw away his gloves and went over: "Qin Qin, accompany him to pass the ball and pull down his arm."

"OK."

Mond was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice while passing and catching the ball with Shen Qin: "It feels very professional."

Shen Qin glared at him: "Nonsense, you warm up well, this is the latest technology now."

"Really?" The son of a craftsman became even more nervous. He was actually quite unfamiliar with these high-tech things.What I come into contact with at home are all handmade and antique goods!
day!
I didn't expect that besides being on the console, I would have such a day.

As Shen Qin thought, Mond's physical fitness is very good, but obviously the staff watching his pitching behind the screen are a little dissatisfied: "The whole mechanism has to be changed."

Xi Chuan asked: "What's the situation now? Let's talk about the ball, not the people. You can take your time. What I want to see is talent."

The staff pointed the data to him: "Look at the rotation axis here, the pure backspin with four seams is very good, and the rotation speed is also enough. It is reasonable to say that this will be a good floater seedling, but you see, his The speed of the ball is not enough, so it can’t have the effect of fooling the hitter. 180° can only show that his control ability is good.”

"The rotation angle of the curveball is 347°, which is amazing. The topspin is also very straight, and the fall is beautiful enough, but obviously he has not learned how to control it well. 4 balls landed early, and 5 balls couldn't fall. Just one in the strike zone, that's not going to happen."

"The angle of the sinker is not enough. It is too far behind Coach's record. The 221° is too ordinary. The speed is also unstable, and the up and down changes are powerful."

Shen Qin was a little disappointed: "Isn't that okay? He used to throw shot put~ Strength shouldn't be a big problem."

The staff member shook his head: "That's not the case. There is a big problem with his pitching mechanism. Only by correcting it can we get the correct data. His current data is jumping badly, and his body has not adjusted, so we are now playing The conclusion doesn’t make sense.”
