soul of baseball

Chapter 94 Warm Up
Shen Qin, who still wanted to talk, swallowed his words silently after watching Coach pick up the metal bat.

……

Today's sunshine is very good, both Shen and Qin are naturally wearing sports sunglasses, on the contrary, the faces of the teenagers on the junior side of the day are all bald, Coach is very strange: "Not wearing sunglasses in this weather is not only easy to affect the catch, It hurts the eyes too."

As he spoke, he joked a few words: "I've seen it before, Miyuki wears it."

Xiaolu Hanako stumbled and wanted to help Yigangji translate, but was answered by Ryota Sano: "Koshien has very strict regulations on sunglasses. Not only must the colors of the 2 unify such restrictions, but they must also be handed in before each game. Glasses and accessories in all aspects are inspected, and they can only be worn after passing the review..."

This rule made Coach feel dizzy for a while, completely incomprehensible.He and Shen Qin could only apply black eye ointment to each other.

They don't know that they don't understand each other, and the other party doesn't understand them. At least many people are secretly looking at the two of them. After all, black eye cream doesn't have much effect on Asians with low cheekbones, so they don't usually use it. You see, I came here two times at once, wearing ostentatious sunglasses, which is too conspicuous. Didn't you see that the female manager's attention was all there?
And these two people are really not senior students?This body is not small.

……

But after all, it is a special co-op, and it is a wealthy family. There is no shortage of hardware. At least Shen Qin has been assigned a brand new crotch protector this time, which makes him feel relieved. At least he doesn't have to face the feeling last time. Hollowed out sour smell.

"Wow~ Is the lining so loose?" Ryota Sano recommended himself as an interpreter. He was changing clothes with the two of them at the moment, and they shivered involuntarily when they saw the loose lining with the sleeves on. Although it is spring, the temperature is still very low.

Unexpectedly, the two of them turned out the thickened long-sleeved inner lining and put it on the outside: "It will be more convenient to take it off if it gets hot."

Sano Ryota was noncommittal and just looked at the person's equipment from head to toe, sighing inwardly. Regardless of anything else, the parents of these two children were at least willing to spend money on baseball for them, with a complete set of under amour equipment.And it's all new.

You must know that baseball equipment is not cheap, so basically it will last for a long time.For example, socks were originally developed because of the problem of dyes, but in Japan, they have basically become an essential tool for saving money.

With sock stirrups, socks that are easily worn out during training are well protected, and you can save a lot of money in the long run.

Besides the inner lining, this kind of close-fitting sweat-wicking clothing is basically bought when you join the team, and you can wear it for several years once you wear it.

Who would look like two people, come to sleep together and play, and will also be equipped with a new set of these things.

Not to mention those wooden sticks, he would feel distressed if he broke one.Tut tut!It also comes with a helmet, which is simply unbelievable.

Coach asked while helping Shen Qin adjust the protective gear: "I feel that you have grown taller."

"The height is not bad, but it's true that I'm stronger. Do you think I can learn to use both sides? Shen Qin has always been envious of Coach's strikes. The left and right bows seem to have no pressure. The coach is the most disgusting type of hitter, and it will always affect them. A scheduler, a pitcher who can hit, and someone changes the strike zone! It's a nightmare."

"It's unlikely." Coach never let Shen Qin have illusions in baseball: "I practiced later than others, and I want to learn more, but I can't learn anything well."

Shen Qin understands this truth, and his heart is not so big, it's just envy, jealousy and hatred.

……

Because of the language problem, it is naturally impossible to correct the codes in such a short time. He planned to push a few at random, but Shen Qin insisted on correcting them all. He was not sure if Coach could remember them, but he himself Can remember it!What's the point of being a catcher if you don't know the password.

It doesn't matter if the players give unfriendly glances for wasting time on the codes now.

This time is different from Chong Chong's replacement of squatting catch last time. Shen Qin is going to play a full game, so even if it takes more time before the game, he will not rush to play. To be honest, he cherishes this opportunity very much, not only because With a partner like Coach, and more importantly, after returning to the United States, it is estimated that there will be no chance of squatting for the time being.

Yuri has strict regulations on his body protection, and all behaviors at this age that will affect the future are forcibly put to an end.

Shen Qin even felt that if Yuri knew that he was going to be arrested now, he might just fly over and hit him in the head.

"Code, that's all! Remember it?" Ryota Sano was about to vomit blood when translating, no matter how good his English was, it would be difficult to turn up many professional vocabulary, and could he really memorize it after reading it once?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Shen Qin really remembered it, and he didn’t care what others thought. He picked up his helmet, buckled it on his head, and bumped fists with Coach: “I didn’t expect the opportunity to squat in the audience for the first time. It will happen in Japan!”

The two laughed and walked out with the team members, only Sano Ryota's forehead twitched, he heard it right, the first time "Is this a rookie?"Could it be that he used to guard other positions?
But it's not right, this kid is obviously practicing catching and catching at the automatic serve machine every day... Isn't it a catcher who is practicing?
……

Shen Qin, who was standing behind the home plate again, was naturally excited. He knew that this was a manifestation of adrenaline rush, but it was also because of his expectation.

After shaking his fist at Coach in left field, Shen Qin buckled down his mask and squatted down, passing and catching the ball with Kikuchi Suketa on the mound for the final warm-up.

In-team practice matches are also called red-and-white matches in Japan. Usually, the members of the first army and the second army are mixed up and competed.

But today is different, because only one army is here for the camp, so it is the relationship of starting and substituting, but there is no mixing, starting a group and substituting a group, which seems to mean training with each other.

Shen Qin has never watched Jiashien. Shen Qin has also watched anime. From his back number, he can easily confirm that he is assigned as a substitute.

For example, Kikuchi Kita, who is on the mound now, is a pitcher with the number 19 on his back, and he can't even count as the second starter.For this, Shen Qin ignored the apologetic Yi Gangsi.What he's thinking about now is serving the ball.

Through pre-match communication, Shen Qin knew that Kikuchi Kikuta was also a pitcher with more types of balls, but he also admitted that his ball handling was not very good.This is very difficult. A pitcher with average speed, average ball control, and average tail strength, how should he match the ball?And besides Yi Gangsi, he only had some impression of the cute beater who was fooled by him.

what do you say that is?

I just heard that it is called Mizushima Fuji?
Thinking of Shen Qin blinking at the guerrilla zone, he couldn't believe that such a little fool was still a guerrilla fighter.

Fuji, who was moving his body in the guerrilla zone, had goosebumps all over his body. Was he right?The shady catcher is blinking at me... so scary... But he won't fool himself today, right?

We are teammates today!
