Reborn in my brother's body

Chapter 4 Great Pitchers

When Che stepped into the field again, a trace of fear could not help but rise in his heart.

What kept replaying in his mind was not the accident that happened here ten days ago, but the situation when he first came to this stadium two years ago.

That time, he also came for a trial training. After traveling to various teams, big and small, his confidence had already bottomed out.

In fact, he has always known that it is a bit reluctant to play professional baseball at his own level, but in order to fulfill Jin's wish, he still bites the bullet and does his best.

For him at that time, R team can be said to be the last hope.

But for the R team at that time, he was just a dispensable rookie.

This time, however, the situation seems to be reversed.

From Komatsu who greeted him with a smile at the gate of the stadium, to the consortium representatives lined up in the auditorium, to the members of the coaching staff gathered on the field, everyone's face was full of the emphasis on this trial training.

Che knew that what those people expected was not him, but Jin.

If two years ago, he still had the determination to fight with all his strength regardless of the outcome, then at this moment, he might only have a guilty conscience.

Because he had already predicted the ending, the ending that would only disappoint everyone.

But even so, what does it matter?

Whether they are satisfied or disappointed, those people will just sit on the sidelines with blank expressions.

Whether it was two years ago or today, he was standing here because of Jin, even if he was disappointed, that was Jin's right.

Having figured this out, Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, did a simple warm-up, and then picked up his gloves and ran towards the center of the field.

"Tamiya, try to cast two first."

Toru nodded to the pitching coach of the Second Army who was shouting at him, took the pass from the catcher, stood on the pitcher's plate and took another deep breath.

[Jin, is this what you want?I promise you that I will try my best, but don't laugh at my brother who is too unfulfilling. 】

【Che, let me come. 】

【what? 】

[I said let me come. 】

As soon as Jin's words fell, Che felt a burst of weakness in his limbs. The feeling made him think that he would fall to the ground in the next second, but he didn't, because Jin's consciousness immediately took over their bodies.

Did Jin exist like this before?

He can see all the sights through his eyes, hear all the sounds through his ears, and even feel the rough texture of his fingertips pressing on the ball line, but he can't give any instructions to this body.

Closing hands, raising feet, twisting waist, extending arms, swinging arms, and pressing wrists are obviously the same movements, but they have never felt so smooth.

It turns out that this is the gap between him and Jin. The speed of the ball may be almost the same, and the distance of the ball in the line of possession is even less than one ball, but it makes Che feel like heaven and earth.

Jin didn't try his best. To be precise, he shot the ball very casually, and all this seemed to him like a game.

He lazily raised his glove towards the catcher, and while receiving the ball, Jin Yang made a gesture of one with a smile all over his face.

That meant another shot, still the same straight shot, but this time with a completely different momentum.

quick!The ball seemed to turn into a white light beam the moment it was shot, making a clear sound of piercing through the air.

allow!The ball seemed to go straight to the catcher's glove along the set route, and the landing point was accurate without losing a single cent.

ruthless!The ball was like a white-armored vanguard riding a horse into the enemy's formation with a knife in hand, its murderous aura made people unsteady on their feet.

The small white ball fell steadily into the glove with a strong airflow blowing towards the face, and as the speed measurement result of 157km/h was displayed on the electronic screen, Che almost heard the sound of gasping from the sidelines.

Some people in the auditorium subconsciously adjusted their glasses, and several coaches collectively moved two steps forward. Several players who were conducting defensive training on the other side of the court couldn't help but stop their movements and look over here. .

Director Ogiwara sat in the rest area with his arms folded, his face still as if he was wearing an iron mask.

There is a document on the seat next to him, which is Jin's technical statistics.

The number 157 is indeed amazing, but like everyone who has read that document, he is still waiting for the next good show.

Snapped!There was another crisp sound, and the number on the electronic screen was instantly refreshed to 151km/h. When the catcher caught the ball, he also made an obvious movement of reaching the inner corner for the ball.

Is the ball speed down?Is there a deviation in possession?

The catcher held the glove and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until the pitching coach of the Second Army called out that he stood up towards the coaches, lifted his mask, and slowly uttered a short sentence: "It's Shenka."

What?Sink? !

That's a pitch not mentioned in Jin's profile.

That's the kind of high speed that only happens in the major leagues.

Before anyone could react, the pitching coach of the first army had already moved to the catcher and returned the ball himself.

"Tamiya, can you throw that ball again?"

Jin took the ball, supported the brim of his hat and nodded, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the white ball was released, Teh felt the delicate force of the index finger, and the next second, the ball fell into the catcher's glove in the inner corner, stirring up a thin cloud of dust.

From the shot to the time when the ball is close to the home plate, the ball is completely straight. If it is not known in advance that this is a high-speed sinker, 80% of the batters have already swung the bat according to the judgment of the straight ball, and waiting for them. It can only be a swing and miss.

There may be a small number of top hitters who can detect the perfect arc of rapid sinking at the last moment, but at a high speed of 150+, even if they can realize it, even if they quickly adjust the angle of attack, even if they can really When you touch the ball, it is mostly to let the ball hit the near end of the bat.

And with that kind of hitting point, not to mention that you can't hit any high-quality balls, breaking the bat should be a more common result.

The expressions of the two pitching coaches do not need to be matched with any language explanation, and their gazes at the rest area have already sent a clear enough message to Ogiwara.

The combination of these two balls alone is enough to set off a whirlwind on the court, and all this is just the prelude to a gorgeous performance for Jin.

Sliding balls, crossballs, butterfly balls, curve balls, along with the ball paths written in the technical statistics, turned into dazzling trajectories in Jin's hands, a world full of unknown surprises is like a feast. presented in front of everyone.

Finishing off with a cross-cutting carter, Kam returned his body to Toru as he released the shot.

When Che stood up on the mound and looked around, he had become the only focus of the entire field.

All the players in training spontaneously approached. Wuji stood at the back, raising his hand to touch his nose very casually, but his eyes flashed with intense interest that could not be concealed. Masahiko stood slightly forward, tightly The closed lips and the tight corners of the eyes were full of hostility.

Everyone in the coaching staff had extremely friendly expressions, and even Supervisor Ogiwara, who was always unsmiling, took the initiative to step forward and patted Tetsu's shoulder for the first time, speaking in an appreciative tone: "Tamiya, I have to say, with you No matter what team you play for, it won't stop you from being a great pitcher. But I personally prefer the R team to keep you, because I really don't want my players to face a terrible enemy like you on the field .”

It took Toru two seconds to understand the invitation from Supervisor Ogiwara, and then turned his gaze to the auditorium. The representatives of the consortium in suits and ties all stood up from their seats without exception.

Walking into the team manager's office again, the man who was waiting there was the man who had once told the professional baseball with an arrogant face that it was cruel.

"Mr. Tamiya, hello, I am Sasaki, the manager of Team R. Mr. Komatsu has already told me about your situation before you came. I was a little worried at first, but judging from your performance today, those worries It's really not necessary. I heard that Director Ogihara has already expressed his wish to you in person, and the consortium's opinion is also the same. We all hope that you can join the R team."

"Mr. Sasaki, I'm sorry, we may not be able to give you an answer right away. Please forgive me. Tamiya's skills are obvious to all. He is a very emotional person. He will be the first to contact Team R mainly because he is here. The team that my brother played for before his death, but we may still need to comprehensively consider the conditions offered by each team before we can make a final decision."

Komatsu poured out the high-sounding lines in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he first winked his eyes at Chaoche, and then glanced at Sasaki again.

Xiaosong has been in this circle for so long, and he has always been a slippery character who watches people order dishes.

When Toru wanted to join the R team, Komatsu persuaded Toru to cut a lot of conditions without waiting for Sasaki to ask. The reason is very simple. He was afraid that the team would not sign if the price was too high, so it is better to earn less than not to earn.

But now, he is trying to help Che raise the price, of course, he can't really plan for Che.

As an agent, his commission increases with the value of the players, and besides this reason, there is actually another deep meaning behind the current situation.

Che had been in contact with Komatsu for two years, so how could he not know about Komatsu's double-decker tricks.

So he is very clear that Komatsu's position is to favor the team.

As soon as he entered the locker room just now, Xiao Song chased after him, first boasted about his performance just now, and then vividly talked about the news he overheard in the audience.

There is only one core, and it is very clear that the team members are very satisfied with him.

Immediately, Komatsu changed the subject, and carefully taught him how to put on airs, a talented player who is "inexperienced".

Komatsu's defense and favoritism, including what he said to Sasaki, are all for one purpose - to deceive trust.

Che even guessed that the wishful thinking of Komatsu and Sasaki was to let Komatsu win over him first, then play the emotional card, and finally increase the price slightly on the conditions offered by Sasaki to facilitate the deal.

The reason why Komatsu worked so hard to cooperate with the performance was that in addition to the commission, he would probably receive a considerable extra remuneration from Sasaki.

Going deeper, Sasaki may be just one of Komatsu's choices. As long as he can hold the trump card of Nishiki firmly in his hands, he can make a fortune with the same method on any team.

Thinking of this, Toru suddenly felt that there was a disgusting disgusting smell in this elegant office.

His life, what he was looking for, was once priced arbitrarily by these two people covered in money as goods, and they were discarded after use, but today they still want to calculate the brocade in the same way.

All this made him unable to suppress his desire to speak out, to make a decision for Jin.

"Mr. Sasaki, first of all, I am very grateful to Team R for their appreciation of me, but as Mr. Komatsu said just now, I may have to think about this matter again." Toru followed Komatsu's tone and said politely.

"Of course, the result of our consideration largely depends on the sincerity that Team R is willing to show, so I would like to trouble you to discuss it with the people in the consortium before contacting us." Xiaosong concluded with a point, In the end, he took a full look at Cheer as if asking for credit.

Toru didn't look up at him, but made a correction to Sasaki with a smile on his face: "Please also contact me directly."

The author has something to say:

This chapter seems to be a bit difficult to understand, the general idea is that brocade is very good, as for how to do it, please follow the following content~

About ball control: Literally means the control of the ball, that is, the accuracy of the pitch.Ball control is an important indicator for evaluating a pitcher's ability, because in professional games, a pitcher is not as simple as just throwing the ball into the strike zone. point (that is, if you hit it and it is difficult to hit it, if you don't hit it, it will be judged as a good ball).For example, the inside corner kick mentioned in the article is a ball that is relatively close to the hitter's body when passing through the strike zone. It is relatively difficult to hit, and to achieve this effect, you must rely on good ball control.

About the ball path: The so-called ball path refers to the type of pitch. The straight ball, sinker, finger ball, butterfly ball, etc. that appear in the article are all names of the ball path. Different ball paths will use different postures and fingerings. The lines and effects cast will also be very different.Although our intuitive impression of pitchers is that the faster the ball, the better, but in actual games, few pitchers can rely on a single high-speed straight ball to win, because once the line is mastered, even a very high ball speed will be hit go out.As for the high-speed sinker mentioned in the article, because it is very confusing, it can play a very good role in deceiving the hitter when used with a straight ball, and the chance of being hit is greatly reduced.Therefore, a low-speed pitcher who masters multiple pitches is more likely to win a game than a high-speed pitcher who masters a single pitch. Of course, a high-speed pitcher who masters multiple pitches is even more precious.And pitchers like Jin who have multiple balls, fast speed and good control of the ball are rare in the real world, but you all know how to exaggerate appropriately in order to pretend to be 13, eh!
