soul of baseball

Chapter 921 Questions and Answers for Parents
Ball speed is a very intuitive manifestation of talent. Take Soichiro Hongo as an example, a half-baked pitcher has gained the attention of many professional ball teams.

But he is already drawing up a contract with Panda, so naturally he has to reject it.

The local team is naturally unhappy about this kind of brain drain, but the attitude of facing Xichuan this time is very strange.

At first, I was a little upset and was about to leave, but after a while, I stood behind the computer watching the test data with someone, obviously very surprised.

Shen Qin sat on the porch with a big bowl of fried chicken wings that Zong Yilang's mother fried for him, dangling his legs and eating. It couldn't be more beautiful.

Soichiro was a little strange: "Is it okay for people from other ball teams to see these high-tech things?"

Shen Qin laughed twice: "Xichuan is promoting, these are for a team from the major league to the minor league, oh, you call it the first army and the second army in Japan? In short, all these equipments are installed, and the adjustment of personnel is very expensive. , It’s also making money! Grabbing resources is robbing resources, but you can’t push away things that can make money!”

"Uh~ You seem to like making money very much?"

"Of course, who doesn't want to make money? You don't?"

"(⊙_⊙)? I think!"

Shen Qin snorted: "This can be regarded as promoting modern baseball."

"Ah?" Soichiro was surprised: "This kind of thing should be kept secret, right? It's all sold to others, isn't everyone the same? The advantage is gone, right?"

"Haha I asked the same question as you before, but Xichuan and the others said that this kind of development should be balanced. One is to make money, and the other is that the big league is a business alliance where you come and go. Have you ever seen it? Consecutive champions? Everyone knows that they come and go in order to make money."

Soichiro didn't understand: "I haven't watched a major league game before, and I feel a little silly. I don't know how to use sacrifice to fight. Can you not hit?"

Shen Qin's face turned black in an instant!Of course, there are many people who can strike, and there are many experts among them, but I definitely don't include myself!It is true that he hits hard, but after so many years, he can't hit the touch well~ I almost hit my finger when I was practicing before.It's all kinds of embarrassment~
But he still had to force a smile on his face: "Why, it's just that everyone is more confident in their own hits. Compared with sacrificing bunts, they believe that they can hit hits or even hit long hits."

Huh~ Zongichiro was surprised and admired: "Is it like this? No wonder most Asians challenge the major leagues as pitchers, and there are so few hitters. The gap is so big?"

"Actually, I haven't studied it specifically in terms of attack, so it's hard to say, but there is a big gap in defense."

"This can't be, the basic skills here in Japan are very solid."

Shen Qin said: "It's not about the basic skills, it's about the physical condition. It's like sitting on the third base and throwing the first base without adjusting the center of gravity. What do you think is the difference between Latin America and Asia? ?”

Soichiro thought for a while and said, "Don't talk about adjusting the center of gravity, just sit there, you can't borrow strength, it's hard to pass it on?"

Shen Qin shook his head: "So I'd say it's the difference in defense, the difference in physical condition, Asians run fast, but their arm strength is indeed a bit weaker, sitting pass and kneeling pass are very important to them. easy."

"What about Xi Chuan? He also played Jiashien before."

He~ Shen Qin said with a smile: "He is different. He is very self-aware. If he can't play third base and guerrilla well, he will never try it, and he will avoid sitting passes and other things. I am very It’s rare for him to make mistakes. Should I say, use your strengths and avoid weaknesses?”

Soichiro chuckled: "I also want to make use of my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. In the future, the fireball biubiubiu~ will scare others to death."

Shen Qin glanced at him strangely: "Baimai... actually has a lot of pitchers."

"how is this possible?!"

"It's true. There are many small leagues, but there are also many ball control problems, let alone the major leagues. Many starters can go up if they let go of their shots. But although ball speed is the foundation, The precision of the ball is more important."

Soichiro still doesn't believe it, why do you want to sign yourself so much?
Shen Qin clicked his tongue twice at the little black boy: "You will know when you enter the minor league. Let alone professional, in our university team, there are two people who have passed the [-]-mile mark. My friend is a guerrilla." Hands, his left and right hands can still pass a hundred, and there are two stitches!"

This is unbearable! "Liar!"

"What are you lying to, go to the test and let him show you the data. There are also game videos on the Internet hahaha~ so you practice hard. After all, I also shoot very fast when I kick off."

bah bah bah!
……

Not to mention that the two chattered here, but Xi Chuan started discussing systematic deals with some Asian clubs.

After all, this is one of the highlights of the show.

However, for some clubs who said that they would sell to themselves and not to others, they still refused with a smile: "All the clubs in the major leagues are taking the route of data. It is not a good thing for one family to dominate."

This kind of problem can be understood without thinking about it. You win and I win to form a healthy competition, and the interaction can last long.

The remaining question is how to give advice to the players. This is the original intention of the program. After all, it is to be broadcast, and it can also give some suitable references to children who are learning baseball.

"Now parents are willing to spend money, and everyone is moving closer to the professional direction." Xi Chuan said to the local parents with a smile: "Taiwan used to be the same as Japan, in this regard, it was quite resistant to communicating with Latin American players. But in the past few years, it has opened up a lot. Many players went out to play in the summer league at their own expense during college. Not only can they learn some advanced experience, but also show their face, let more scouts notice themselves, and improve their self-worth.”

"If conditions are good, a professional nutritionist will even be hired."

"In the developmental stage, diet is actually very important, but I don't think it is necessary to start retraining too early."

"Many newly signed players are very thin at the beginning, and their power has not been developed. In fact, there is no need to worry. After entering the profession, they will adjust slowly and they will always grow well. The general saying is that if there is no professional nutritionist It doesn't matter if you take care of yourself, as long as you don't practice foolishly, it will affect your body's development instead."

"Don't train too much, don't overweight, just keep it within the normal range. Everyone's body load has a limit, and excessive consumption is not a good thing. It doesn't mean that the more you practice and the more you suffer, the more you can get. much in return.”

"I hope players can learn to give up moderately! Don't force yourself to do things beyond your ability. When growing your body, you must be moderate!"

"Even after entering the profession, the amount of training is actually not large. Except for the special training for individuals, it is actually fixed and quantitative every day. No player will over-train himself. Not getting injured, maintaining health and maintaining stable growth is the key Right way."

"If there is no progress, don't worry. After professional analysis of the recorded data, you will know where you are not enough. Only targeted training can produce results."

Some parents asked: "As for metal rods and wooden rods, when is it appropriate to start replacing them?"

Nishikawa explained: "My personal suggestion is high school. Although this age is the transition stage for strong players and weak players, there is nothing wrong with adapting in advance. One is for safety reasons, and the other is restrictions."

"Restrict players from swinging too much. Of course, from the perspective of saving, they can be replaced slowly. Every player's development is different sooner or later. Using metal rods will actually give players some illusions, such as their own swings. Strong, long-term The batting ability is outstanding, etc. Maybe it’s just the reason for the metal bat? After all, there are also those batters who were outstanding in high school, but became obsolete after entering the profession.”

"So there is almost a law in the draft here in the United States, that is, when selecting high school players, the focus will be on pitchers, while hitters are mostly selected from the college level."

"Because most college players start to use composite bats with reduced elasticity, and many even start to use wooden bats early. Because several leagues in the summer are using wooden bats, for the sake of habit, it is of course better to use them early."

"Each player is used to a different size, and finding what suits you early will never hurt."

"Of course, it's the holiday season. If your children want to try it, you are always welcome. We have wooden sticks of various sizes and materials."

The parents who said this are very happy. This place is too rural, which is actually very inconvenient for the children. It is of course great that there are testing tools and supplies delivered to the door with complete conditions.

"What about the choice of coach?"

This question is actually difficult to answer, and it is a bit of a suspicion of the supervision of various schools~ But Xi Chuan is not a polite person, and he said it quite directly: "Actually, it is very important to look for the most basic point, which is what level of player the coach is. Has he ever played professional baseball or trained very professionally?"

"Of course, the coach here refers to various items, such as pitching coach, hitting coach, etc., not the head coach. After all, many coaches themselves have no professional experience. So I mean, this kind of coach can schedule and operations, but don’t give superfluous guidance to the players, inappropriate training will bring great troubles to the players.”

"For example, pitching posture, for training."

"Everyone's body and physical fitness are different. Many things can only be determined after long-term data accumulation and analysis. Not everyone can follow the same training."

Speaking of this, Xi Chuan blinked: "For example, throwing towels? Believe me, most people are not suitable for this."

Another parent asked if the children in his family were still young, so it was because of today's test: "If you have any questions in the future, can you ask them on the ball team's official Twitter?"

"We have some skill videos on Youtube and WBlog that will be uploaded regularly. You can ask questions on it or join the fan group, and we will answer them in a unified way. How old is the child?"

The parents smiled and said, "One is a junior high school, the other is a junior high school."

Xi Chuan nodded: "That's still young, control the training time and make it easier for the child. Of course, don't eat too much, it's better not to overweight."

Some parents smiled and asked: "But I see a lot of big guys in the major leagues. Is it true that weight is enough for strength?"

"Of course not. Most of the big guys in the big leagues were not fat when they were young. And there is no direct relationship between weight and power." Xi Chuan beckoned to pull Shen Qin over: "The speed and power are nothing to say. Guy, the weight is also very average, let alone close to 'fat'."

"After entering the profession, whether the players need to gain or lose weight, the nutritionists and trainers in the team will make special arrangements and arrangements, so don't worry too much."

Shen Qin, who was innocently compared to fat and thin, was still holding the chicken wings, which was very embarrassing, so he could only run back to the porch in desperation amidst the laughter of the parents.

A middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "I'm a very experienced baseball fan. I'm a follower of both NPB and MLB, so I'm curious. After all, there are very few Asians who have really achieved results in fielders in the major leagues. Well, In fact, Ichiro is the only one. The rest are pitchers. Is that understandable? If the children in the family want to develop in this direction, it is best to practice pitching from an early age?"

Xi Chuan shook his head with a smile: "No, many major league pitchers were not pitchers before they entered the professional league, or even before they were promoted to the major leagues. The same is true for fielders. So the first question is that practicing from a young age does not absolutely exist. of."

"The second point is that Asians are more suitable for fielders or pitchers. In fact, I don't think that's the case. It's that Asians are used to hitting with 'smart'. I always feel a little distrustful of my long-hitting ability. In fact, Surely we can’t do it? Perhaps talent is very important, but with a few top talents, it would be great if we can reach the middle.”

"Secondly, the audiences of the two sides are different. The fans who watch NPB are used to watching bunt tactics, and the players are also very good at and familiar with this technique because of the long-term requirements of the coach and the atmosphere. In Latin America, it is the other way around. The advocacy of strength, so this is a different direction."

"From my personal point of view, it doesn't matter whether you are a fielder or a pitcher, that is to say, the development is different, and it is best to find the one that suits you."

"However, I think if you must play the infielder, it is more appropriate to be positioned on second base."

"One is the problem of arm strength, which is really limited by physical talent. Third base and guerrilla are indeed not flexible enough. The second is the problem of body. Compared with the more demanding first and third bases, the requirements for second base are relatively loose."

"The basic skills of Asian players are solid enough, and their legs and feet are agile and quick to respond. In addition, the second base does not require high arm strength, so I think the infield has an advantage."

The parent who asked the question quite agreed, and asked again: "What about the catcher?"

"Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with a catcher. After all, there are strong shoulders, but what is lacking is someone who can play and defend. You can pay attention to the newcomer Moore. I believe he will bring a new wave of catchers to Japanese professional baseball. "
