Chapter 987: Major League Debut 2
"I don't know how to shoot. I don't have that talent. Just do my own defense! Of course, try to avoid injuries. Last year, I missed the U23."

The lady reporter asked again: "The major league games are very intensive. You were suddenly pulled up. Can your body handle it?"

Shen Qin shook his head: "I'm just a bench. I'm just pulling it up to practice my hands. I'll get used to it slowly. The most important thing is to play hard and not hold back. That's enough."

Seeing that the other party brought the topic over, the lady didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was his first show, and it would be meaningless to be stubborn at this time, so she tentatively asked about the locker: "This keychain is very interesting. Ah, is it specially customized for the back number?"

Speaking of this, Shen Qin felt relaxed. On the far right of the second floor of the locker, there is a small grid with a lock, and the key is inserted in it. A panda, a rabbit and a zero number with a diamond hang on it: "Panda and rabbit The wool felt was poked by a friend for me."

He pinched his stomach as he spoke: "It's cute, isn't it?"

The chubby one is really cute, the lady nodded, and then asked the number zero: "Is this a real diamond?"

Proud~ "Yes, my brother gave it to me, and it's the same number as mine."

"Is it okay to leave it like this?"

"Of course not. The players are too rich. Everyone's locker is worth more than mine."

The two of them became much more natural when they said that. The lady's eyes fell on the new shoes: "It's a bit like the style you wore at the mascot's egg-breaking ceremony last year."

"Huh? You've seen it too." Shen Qin picked up the new shoes: "It's also black and white, but it is specially printed with today's date and the first show. It is a commemorative model. There are many special event days in the major leagues. The style of the shoes There are too many, I don’t pay that much attention, anyway, it’s pretty good.”

"..." Can you still understand this?Haha~ "Are you using a new bat?"

Shen Qin clicked on the row of bats on the top shelf of the locker: "The ones on the right are new, but I will use them occasionally to familiarize myself with them when they are empty. Sometimes the saved dozen will crack if the position is too coincidental. .The ones on the left are for use, both for practice and for games.” Uh~ Remember to advertise: “They are all panda bats. I like to use this one. I hope it will bring me good luck in today’s game. "

"Which one will you use today?"

Shen Qin pulled out a bat with pink tape on it: "This one, I've been playing for more than a week, and it feels pretty good."

The lady was a little surprised: "But you didn't feel good with this team in the first few minor league games."

Shen Qin was very surprised: "That's already very good. Although the sample size is very small, I think it's good. Do you think there is no long hit? Don't worry, it will come when it should come. Isn't baseball just Well, I might not be able to hit a home run for a year when I recite it, but I'm lucky Qin, so don't worry."

"..." Lucky Qin... "I wish you success in advance."

"Thank you! I have to change my clothes and go to practice first."

"..." means that you can go out...

……

Shen Qin really didn't intend to drive people away, he really wanted to change clothes!After the warm-up is over, I have to help sign the autograph, and perform well on the first day!

The sooner the better, after all, the sooner there are fewer fans entering the stadium.

"Hey, it's so early!" Harvey yawned and entered the locker room: "I was thinking of coming to give you a welcome gift first."

Said and handed over a bag: "The surprise is gone, the biscuits baked by my lover."

"Thank you, thank you!" I didn't expect there to be a gift: "Eat now?"

Harvey laughed and scolded: "Are you crazy? Before the game, especially field players, try not to eat things that are easy to fill up. Didn't Yuri tell you?"

"Cookies too?"

"Of course. Hey, are you the jungler or DH today? I checked on the way here, and the list hasn't come out yet."

"It hasn't been updated on the Internet, it has been posted just now, let me guard the left field."

Harvey moved to the side to look at today's roster, and then checked the website: "He has entered IL for 10 days, you just make up, and DH will be left to the old man."

Here he is talking about the third baseman who was placed on the ten-day disabled list due to back tightness.

Shen Qin was a little puzzled: "Is it enough to enter the daily watch list?"

"He's got old injuries, take it easy." Harvey said and changed into light clothes: "Come and play some long passes with me?"

"Okay!"

Shen Qin was in high spirits, he had to warm up, it would be great to be with Harvey, this is one of the real long-term conveyancers!

In the big leagues, the long pass is actually nothing out of the ordinary.Is it hard to throw the ball straight from the mound over the center field wall?Seems easy to this group of monsters.

But in the usual warm-up, everyone is used to taking it easy, and this kind of thing is rare.

But Harvey is one of the exceptions. He likes long passes during the warm-up, which is why many fans will enter the field early when he starts. You can watch him make a terrifying long pass.

"Who do you usually practice with?"

Harvey rubbed his nose: "Catcher coach, our catcher West said he hates the long pass hahaha~ I'll just take the order. After all, I'm embarrassed to let the bullpen catcher come so early~"

Shen Qin, who was secretly happy to be forced to work, was a little helpless: "Come on!"

The two kept a distance of two or three meters behind the home plate and began to throw the ball slowly, and gradually opened up the distance after four or five back and forth.

Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters...

This is a normal long pass distance for Harvey, accurate and fast.

But Shen Qin was able to keep up with the rhythm, and the small run-up shot was very easy!

Some of the fans who advanced to the field ran to the protective net, and some ran to the no-net zone extending past the first and third bases. They were all watching and shouting while holding the ball, waiting for players to pass by and asking for autographs.

Snapped!
Shen Qin flicked the glove, this is really strong, it seems that the old one is well maintained!

But I didn't expect my debut to just catch up with Harvey's rotation.

Although Harvey is a veteran, he is in a period of decline and the price is cheap, so he is not considered the trump card of the team.

Now the trump card of the Honey Panda is a rookie who has just been recruited from the minor leagues this season. He is only 22 years old.Talk about playing tomorrow.

It has won 11 wins so far this season. For a team with this record, this number of winning shots can be said to be quite lucky.

What's even more rare is that the ERA is only 1.92. For a rookie, it can be said that this is not only a result that can compete for the rookie king.

But Xi Chuan said this and don't think about it. After a few more starts, he will be sent to the minor leagues for training. The number of pitching innings in the rookie year must be controlled well. The Honey Panda is not a team that randomly messes with players.
