v2 Chapter 16： : 3 catchers

There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone a collective. Although Eijun Sawamura, who hosted the draft, didn't say much, he was not the only old student present at the time, there were others.

When Sawamura went back to the baseball club cafeteria for dinner in the evening, people around him who had a good relationship stared at him.

Kanamaru, Tojo, Kominato, Akatsuki, Miyuki, Kuramochi.

Five people surrounded Eijun Sawamura, and Miyuki and Kuramochi sat on the side of Sawamura alone.

Opposite is Kanamaru, Tojo and Kominato.

Of course, Sawamura knew what the old guys wanted to know. But he just didn't say it.

He brought the food calmly, and then devoted himself to enjoying the food in front of him.

Because he did not participate in the exercises with the old students, his physical energy consumption was not large, and it was a bit strenuous to eat three bowls of rice.

When the others had already finished eating, Sawamura Eijun delayed for several minutes before wiping out the rice in front of him.

The few guys around have finished eating tomorrow, but none of them are leaving.

They just stared at Sawamura without saying a word.

"I'm stuffed!"

Sawamura Eijun put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the five people who were surrounded by them and would not let him leave.

Reluctantly spread his hands.

"If you have any questions, just ask?"

Since he couldn't escape, Sawamura Eijun naturally planned to say something.

Hearing that they finally got to the point, the surrounding partners also pricked up their ears one by one, looking very interested.

It has long been heard that the recruitment of new students this year has been particularly smooth, and the number has even exceeded the sum of the previous years.

Not just in numbers, but also in strength. According to the tone revealed by Takashima Rei, there are many good seedlings in it.

Those who have truly achieved fame in the youth club era, even these seniors from Qingdao High School, dare not be careless.

After all, no one knows if there will be another newcomer of Sawamura Eijun's level.

Qingdao High School is not without a tradition in this regard. In the first two years, Chris and Jiucheng replaced the two seniors.

Miyuki also replaced Chris in his freshman years.

Not to mention Eijun Sawamura, a Kwantung conference, brought down the ace pitcher in the team.

From the perspective of a freshman, this is naturally an expression of pride. But if you look at this issue from the point of view of the original old student.

This is the tragedy of life!

Whether they like it or not, the old students don't want such a tragedy to happen to themselves.

It didn't matter when they were freshmen, now they are vested interests. Even if I have already experienced Koshien, I hope to enter it again.

No one wants to be eliminated at this time.

The so-called is to know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles. Know in advance who your competitors are? Somewhat good.

"Are there any freshmen with outstanding strength?"

Seeing that Sawamura Eijun didn't intend to take the initiative to speak, Kanima couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.

"Don't worry, although there are also two third basemen, but their strength is very average, they can't threaten you."

Sawamura Eijun's answer did not make Kanimaru feel the slightest ease. Don't look at the fact that he's not yet at third baseman, but Kanamaru has never been one to be afraid of competition.

"Who's afraid?"

Kanamaru stood up angrily: "I'm just curious."

But in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sawamura Eijun glanced at Kanimaru, who was relieved, and remained silent.

To be honest, there is really no one among the freshmen who can threaten Jin Maru's position.

There are only a few players who are capable of threatening the current main force of Qingdao, and half of them are pitchers and catchers.

The remaining Takuma is second baseman, and even if he switches to other positions, he can only switch to shortstop.

He doesn't have any overlap with the third baseman position.

Formed's striking ability is excellent, but with his immature defense, it is difficult to defend the infield.

The last one left is Kagami, and his position is outfielder.

It also poses no threat to Jinwan.

In this way, there are indeed no new players who can charge Jin Wan's position, but this does not mean that Jin Wan can sit back and relax.

The fact that there is no one who threatens him in the freshman does not mean that there is no one who can threaten him in Qingdao.

Not to mention Hiri, who directly competes with him, even in the current Second Army, there are people who are eyeing the position of Jin Maru.

"So, is there really a new student that can threaten our status?"

Although Sawamura Eijun didn't say that, the meaning in his words was obvious. With Miyuki's intelligence, how could he not hear it?

"Have!"

Sawamura nodded with a wry smile.

There are really people who can charge the main lineup.

In view of the current weakness of Qingdo High School, Sawamura believes that there are two people who have the most opportunity to charge the main force.

One is formed, the other is Wang Xi.

In the current Qingdo High School, the only ones who really have the ability to fight for a long time are Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya.

Most of the others are skill hitters and don't have strong long hits.

Even if some have the ability to fight for a long time, their own striking ability is not very good.

All in all, Qing Dao High School is lacking in the level of hitters.

Taking this into account, there is no doubt that the formation of the general division is the most likely one among all the freshmen now.

In addition, Sawamura Eijun believes that the second most likely to come out is Wang Xi.

It is one aspect of his outstanding strength that the General Division of Formation can make an appearance at this time, and the other aspect is that the lineup of Qingdao High School is lacking.

With the combination of these two aspects, as long as this guy's performance is not too bad, being promoted to the first army is almost a certainty.

As for Wang Xi, it was simply because of his strength.

There is no shortage of good pitchers in the current Qingdao High School, and it is even called the pitcher kingdom by the outside world.

But this does not mean that the pitching lineup of Qingdao High School can sit back and relax.

On the contrary, there are still many unstable factors in the pitching lineup of Qingdao High School. In addition to ace pitcher Sawamura Eijun, both Furutani and Kawakami have considerable weaknesses.

Xiaogu Xiao's own ball control is a big problem. It's okay if he is in good shape. When he is not in good shape, he is likely to kill himself.

Kawakami's problems are also serious.

On the one hand, the strength is not very sufficient, on the other hand, the will to fight is not even a star and a half compared with Sawamura Eijun Yugu.

certainly.

Defects are defects, it does not mean that they have no strength. In fact, except for a handful of pitchers in the country, other pitchers have some problems more or less.

If there is no good pitcher seedlings, Director Kataoka estimates that it will be difficult to get new pitchers into the pitching lineup.

But Wang Xi, his potential is too good and his strength is too strong.

I am afraid that Director Kataoka will have a hard time resisting the temptation and the urge to train himself.

After returning to school from Koshien, the roster of 18 people has not been replenished, and there are two places left.

You know, there are 18 players in the rest area of ​​Koshien. But the rest area of ​​the Tokyo conference has a full 20 players.

Even in this period, there is no way to exclude the players from the first army from the first army, but these two places can always be replenished.

It is said that after the players return, these two places will naturally be replenished to the two that were kicked out before.

However, Supervisor Kataoka did not do this, and instead kept the two places.

This approach is very intriguing.

You want to say that Director Kataoka does not plan to select new players in this spring competition?

I don't think any fool would believe it.

That's why the scene in front of them appeared. Everyone inquired about Sawamura Eijun in a way that was almost forcing the palace.

"Who is more hopeful?"

Being able to be promoted by Kataoka Supervisor at this time will naturally pose a great threat to other players.

"There are so many capable people, how do I know how Director Kataoka will choose?"

Although Sun Ruchun had an idea in his heart, he didn't plan to say it.

As the saying goes, a gentleman is too late!

Why some people give others the impression that they always keep their word and it is very reasonable.

It's not all because of their ability, but also because they speak slowly can't hide things in their hearts, there are people who say something.

It is difficult to leave a reliable impression.

Without a nine out of ten certainty, Sawamura Eijun would not take the initiative to give others the opportunity to slap his face.

If Supervisor Machiaoka came back, his mind twitched and it was different from what Eijun Sawamura thought, so wouldn't he be embarrassed?

"Then who do you think is more hopeful?"

Pretty much the same question, but prefixed.

The answer to this question is much looser, and there is no need to be afraid of being slapped in the face.

Sawamura Eijun glanced at Miyuki who was understanding, and then said six or seven names in one breath.

"To form a general, Yui Kaoru, Okumura, Takuma, Kagami, Wang Xi, Matsumoto Jun."

When he said so many names in one breath, everyone around was dumbfounded.

Others are fine, they don't know much about it.

But Matsumoto Jun, isn't he Sawamura Eijun's own disciple?

How can he be compared with those star players who are famous all over the country?

"Don't think that we don't know anything. The three you mentioned seem to be three hard-core catchers, right?"

As expected of the well-informed Jin Wan, he really understands it clearly.

Sawamura Eijun nodded helplessly.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that he was aiming for this position after Miyukiichi also retired.

Really a lot.

Coincidentally, he and these three guys are still familiar with each other.

These three must have done a lot of research before entering Qingdo High School. He made an assessment of his own strength, and after the assessment, he chose to join Qingdao with confidence.

It's just that none of them thought that the three of them would meet together.

I don't know if these three guys are regretting their bowels now?

Eijun Sawamura had a wicked thought.

...
