"What they have experienced, learned, and grown in Jiaziyuan will be reflected in their every move in training."
"I hope that in the days to come, you will first see with your eyes and feel with your body, the baseball that we are pursuing."
Superintendent Kataoka's remarks, not only the new players were excited when they heard it, but the old players also felt as if they had been beaten with blood.
Coach Ochiai looked at Kataoka with emotion, and his heart was full of admiration.
Supervisor Kataoka not only encouraged new players, but also stimulated a handful of old players.
As expected of a language teacher, he stirs up emotions and is even more terrifying than a MLM organization.
Sometimes Coach Ochiai also thinks that if Superintendent Kataoka does not supervise properly, he should be a good player if he starts a pyramid scheme.
"The new players gather at the b court, and the 23rd graders gather at the a court. We will immediately carry out free hitting practice and defense practice. All the players are divided into two teams, alternately attacking and defending."
The freshmen quickly entered regular training and were not allowed to continue running.
On the surface, they are starting to touch the ball again after a long absence.
Everyone around is happy.
Takuma looked at his cheerful companions and smiled wryly.
"They are so innocent!"
It is said that baseball is played by a group of monsters with strong limbs and simple minds, from this point of view, these guys around are really.
Didn't they find out? Has the second round of testing started?
"Come on, Asada, Wang Xi!"
Sawamura and Kuramochi smiled and cheered on the two younger brothers in their dormitory, and played the role of seniors who cared for them very well.
"Sawamura-senpai is very kind!"
One of the younger brothers said with emotion.
"I really envy the two of them for being able to share a dormitory with my idol."
"I really want to share a dormitory with Sawamura-senpai."
Hearing their whispers, Hirota and Matsumoto smiled wryly at each other.
"It's another group of guys who were deceived by the boss's gentle appearance!"
"Forget it, when they really see the boss on the court, they probably won't think that way..."
A group of newcomers headed to the b court in a mighty manner. The keen players already knew that the next round of testing was more appropriate than practice.
Test your speed and pitch!
The next thing that needs to be tested is the attack and defense.
Didn't you see that Director Kataoka didn't take care of Laosheng, but came directly here?
Sawamura excitedly followed Kuramochi to the old student team.
Because of the need to recover from injury, he has not touched the ball for a long time. This time, even if he can't serve as a pitcher.
At least he has to be involved in garrison and strike.
I can finally touch baseball and bat after a long absence.
Otherwise, Sawamura Eijun felt that his body was about to rust if he continued to rest like this.
"where did you go?"
Just as Sawamura Eijun was about to leave happily, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
Sawamura turned his head to look at Director Kataoka in disbelief, and answered very honestly.
"Go practice!"
"Who allowed you to practice at this time, if you have nothing to do, watch the freshman's practice with me."
I……
At this moment, Sawamura Eijun really wanted to scold swear words.
He didn't understand a little, what was Director Kataoka's intention for pulling him here?
"Miyuki will leave the team in four months. In the next period of time, you need to try to adapt in advance."
Rei Takashima explained patiently.
"But I don't want to be the captain! I don't even want to start preparing to take over the captain's class now."
Rei Takashima spread out his hands helplessly, expressing that she too could not help.
Whether Sawamura Eijun is willing or not.
After the third-year seniors retired, Sawamura Eijun could only become the new captain of Qingdo High School, and there was no way for the others to convince the public.
And this year's freshmen are really arrogant. After the coaching staff discussed it, they decided to suppress their limelight.
After all, you can't make a piece of jade without cutting it.
By the time Sawamura Eisei arrived, the freshmen were already divided into teams.
More than 60 people were divided into two teams, one team of 30 people.
Nine are in charge of defense and one is in charge of offense.
"There is no limit to the range of pitching, a serious duel. Let's see who is more powerful!"
The four teams take turns.
"The remaining two teams, go to the hitting field with me!"
The number of freshmen was too large, and even with the luxury of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the training was stretched thin.
To save time, they had to train in batches.
Then the assistant coach took out a notebook and deliberately ordered a dozen names.
These are all excellent performances in all aspects of training before, and they will be taken care of.
It also means asking Kataoka to supervise the inspection.
"let's start!"
Following the order of Director Kataoka, the entire squash court began to rotate like a giant machine.
The batting test tests the pitch of the pitching machine.
There is basically no change, it is all straight balls, and the position is generally not too far from the center.
This kind of test looks simple, but it tests the basic skills of the players the most.
Being able to hit the ball to infield counts as one point, outfield counts as two, and home run counts as three.
The number of **** tested was from 125, 130, 135, 140, 145 to 150.
For each ball speed, three **** will fly over, and one of them will be selected to play.
In theory, 18 points can be earned with full marks.
Of course, the real situation is impossible. As long as someone can score more than ten points, it means that his hitting strength and ball sense are already very good.
Followed by the defense test, a player's full score is 10.
Two points will be deducted for a defensive error!
On average, everyone will field five or six times.
Of course, this is only a superficial scoring standard. How did the players really perform? Also see...
Ordinary fielding and excellent fielding have the same score, but the impression left on the coach will definitely be different.
After these professional tests, the strength of the freshmen of Qingdao High School Baseball Club was immediately revealed.
Most of them have done related exercises in the youth club. I quickly mastered the tricks of practice. Although it is not easy to get a high score, the results are basically passable.
"Ping!"
A small white ball hit the home run wall directly.
It was the first home run of a freshman.
The one who took the home run was Yusei Shoji!
When he tested the 125-kilometer ball, he swung the bat with all his strength and hit the ball cleanly and hit a home run.
That terrifying aura made people startled just by looking at it.
"He is Yuuki's younger brother, and his striking strength is very good. He is the fourth best player in the former country."
Minister Ota, who was on the side, quickly made an introduction.
Director Kataoka nodded.
Really good!
Just listening to the sound of that swing makes people feel that his swing is extraordinary.
That is definitely not a level that can be achieved by simply relying on talent.
"Take care of it!"
Without looking at Yuuki's defense, Supervisor Kataoka made a decisive decision and placed him on the list of key concerns.
After six tests, the formation of a general was just like opening a hang-up, and not a single blow was unsuccessful.
Of course, this is not the level that talent can achieve. At first glance, he has done a lot of similar exercises in the junior baseball to develop his sense of the ball.
The answer sheet that came out was also very surprising, with one infield hit, three outfield hits, and two home runs.
According to the assessment score, two home runs are six points, three outfield hits are six points, and one infield hit is one point.
14 points in total.
Players who have been tested before have not exceeded ten points.
The strength gap between the two sides has reached a level that is extremely surprising.
"Even if you recruit the nine main forces of Qingdao High School's current army, there are probably not many who can surpass the formation in points."
Ota said excitedly.
Kataoka, who was next to him, was very happy. Hearing this sentence, the whole person's face immediately turned bad.
This is the biggest problem of Qingdo High School and now.
Now the main force of the First Army, this kind of practice, all six goals can be hit, almost everyone can do it.
Even if the speed of the straight ball in the center is a little faster, it is not a big deal for players like Qingdo High School who swing nearly a thousand times a day.
Not to mention that the machine pitching itself is rigid, and the timing is very good But with so many high scores, it is not something they can do.
what is the reason? The more you lack the ability to play long.
You let them hit the ball in the outfield, that's fine.
You let them hit a home run and hit the ball that far, and it's a little embarrassing.
The reason why Yuuki made people's eyes shine is because he scored a high score that even the main players of Qingdao High School may not be able to achieve.
It is precisely because of this that he can become the fighting force of Xinqingdao High School.
Immediately after that, Yui Kaoru who performed more dazzlingly.
Don't look at the young man's size, but he is not small. Four of the yo's hit the outfield and one hit the infield in the face.
Another ball flew straight off the pitch.
Relying on his not tall body, this guy hit a home run abruptly.
A total of 12 points!
Compared with Yuuki, it is slightly inferior. But compared to other people tested before, it is not a star.
"This guy's name is also recorded!"
Kataoka was very excited to see it!
He saw more possibilities from Yui Xun.
Of course there is another important reason.
It's because of Yui Kaoru's location.
This guy's position is amazing, he turned out to be a catcher.
You know, the current two catchers of Qingdao High School, Miyuki and Ono.
Both of them are third-year players, which means they will retire in four months.
From the perspective of cultivating new talents, the current Qingdao High School urgently needs to transfer a catcher to the first army for training.
In this way, after the third-year players retire, someone can take over.
In fact.
Pharmacist and Daocheng Industry will definitely transfer a pitcher into the first army this year.
Also out of the same consideration.
