Chapter 988: Major League Debut 3
The players arrived at the stadium one after another, lying here and there~
As a rookie, Shen Qin lay alone in the left field. Anyway, there are no fans in the stadium now, so it's not embarrassing!

uh~
A panda face approached, it was Panda Pipi with a red scarf~
"Zhu..."

Before the name came out, the panda has already jumped to the side and started fanning with a huge fan~
For a moment, Shen Qin wasn't sure if it was just for fun or a live performance!
The panda obviously wasn't in the mood to play with him, instead he jumped aside holding a fan with a picture of a panda fluttering a butterfly~
Shen Qin looked over and saw girls holding bright red national flags standing on the side of third base, and waved happily when he saw him looking over.

Wow~ Shen Qin was startled, jumped over quickly, and lowered his voice before they cheered, "You can't bring the national flag in!"

The girl holding the big national flag was stunned, a little unbelievable, and a little wronged, obviously she did it when she saw Shen Qin speak out in the media: "Ah~"

Shen Qin hurriedly explained: "Although there are no express regulations, it is still not allowed to wear big flags in this kind of arena, and only folded small flags can be worn in star games. allow."

As he spoke, he pointed to several flags above the big screen: "Here, so our national flag is also placed on it."

Only then did the girl come to her senses, and she pointed blankly at her face painted with the national flag: "Does this matter?"

Shen Qin smiled and said, "It's okay. There are also national flags under my bat and on the back of my gloves."

Wow!The girls were happy. They carefully folded the national flag and were about to sign it, but they felt that it was not good to stuff it into the bag, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Give it to me, can I put it in the locker room?"

"Okay, okay! That's great!"

"Can I take pictures? And autographs!"

"Of course!"

Shen Qin patiently signed and took photos with them, and then reminded: "It's better to use a ballpoint pen to sign baseballs."

"Yeah! I'll definitely prepare next time. This is the first time I've signed a baseball, so I'm not sure." The girl jumped up happily: "Come on, Aladdin! Hit a home run!"

Shen Qin blinked: "If I hit a home run today and you happen to catch it, then I will ask for an on-site appraisal before giving it to you."

After Shen Qin finished speaking and left, the girls were still a little confused: "What does it mean to give it to us after appraisal?"

The male fans next to them explained to these rookie fans: "Many record types of players have special value, such as the first home run in the major league career, the Nth hundred to Nth thousand, the first A hit and the like, most players will keep this type of ball, and there will be an appraisal agency on the spot for appraisal, which is also a way to keep it safe. But the ball will not be authenticated by the fans, so many fans will The ball is returned to the player, and then in exchange for some meetings, autographs and even bonuses."

The girl's eyes widened: "Is there still so much to say?"

"Of course, this is a commercial competition, otherwise why are the players paid so much?"

"What is Aladdin's current annual salary?"

The male fan was very surprised: "You are really the most rookie!? You don't even know this?"

"I don't know! I started watching baseball because I was chasing Aladdin. I found baseball very interesting! It's more refined!"

Gentle... The male fans think that it is better for them not to see things like clearing the bench and deliberately touching the ball on the spot.

Well, who knows if you can tell if it's an intentional touch?

"Ahem~ The rookie's annual salary is 52 knives this year, but Aladdin~ bah bah bah bah, Qin was just pulled up, he calculated it based on the daily salary of 52 knives except the game, your computer is dripping You'll know right away."

"Wow!!! That's quite a lot!"

"That's right, the big leagues are places where you can reach the sky in one step, and the small leagues can't compare with other people's daily salary for a month."

"When will there be no rookie's salary?"

"Looking at the results, it is possible to enter the salary arbitration in the second year, and the results are directly linked to the money. Normally, the salary arbitration qualification is obtained in the third year, and the annual salary of a good player directly jumps to the tens of millions of dollars, but Aladdin In this case, as long as he plays well, he will definitely renew his contract in advance without taking the rookie contract."

The girls are relieved, let's just say, lucky Qin can make a lot of money, so they don't have to worry about it.Anyway, he is a kid who can't buy a car blindly despite his family's control.

Shen Qin hurriedly ran back to the locker room holding the national flag. Fortunately, there were not many spectators entering the venue yet. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for such a thing to be hyped up by someone who wanted to do it, especially in Hong Kong Island where cockroaches are causing trouble. when.

Simply hang the national flag carefully on the inside of the wardrobe, it looks like a red wallpaper, which is quite festive!
Good luck!
"Didn't you go outside to do batting practice?" The old catcher West in the next cabinet asked while putting on his socks, "I didn't see you just now."

"No, it's not a waste of effort to play in the tunnel and do a one-handed T-frame. The season is very long and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it. It will save more electricity."

West couldn't help laughing. He was very clear about his position. Although he won the Gold Gloves, he was not very good at hitting. It was very difficult to mix in the American League. role.

And Shen Qin is the next in the future!
He needs to eat experience with the cash cow of the Honey Panda, and stuff what he has learned and realized in the major leagues to this young man.

And the opponent is still strong.

Speaking of this, West is a little worried. It’s funny to say that when he was signed, he was also quite promising in terms of offense. However, there is no improvement in attack.There are occasional bursts, but most of them are still silent in the middle and lower reaches.

The catcher's strike is much weaker than other defenses, and it's really ugly to be mixed in the middle and lower reaches.

"You, still focus on hitting. The current situation in the major leagues is that good hitting catchers are valuable, and good defense can only earn so much. Suicide sticks don't sound good."

Shen Qin also knew that the person in front of him would be his master for a long time in the future, so he nodded obediently: "But I still think defense is very important. The most important value of a catcher lies in defense. Good is also a wide field. Stay at home plate, face the whole field, give pitchers confidence, fool batters, intimidate runners, mobilize teammates! What could be more interesting and valuable than this position? A good catcher, no bat, he It is also irreplaceable!"

West was stunned, this sentence~ I haven't heard professional players mention it for more than ten years!

You can do it without a bat...
