v2 Chapter 52： : starting list

After having an idea in their hearts, the two immediately called all the players and held a meeting.

At this meeting, Supervisor Kataoka expressed his views firmly and announced the starting list for the game.

This result is not too surprising for the players.

Because of time constraints, after this North American Exchange Tournament is over, Qingdao High School will basically determine the main 20 and the starting lineup.

To put it bluntly, it is to distribute back numbers.

Regional competitions like the Tokyo area are also called preliminaries for national competitions.

A team is allowed to participate in a total of 20 players.

At present, the total number of players in the Qingdo High School baseball team is 26.

This also means that before the start of the summer tournament, six people will leave the current first army team.

Which one of these six candidates will not be selected will be announced after the end of this North American Exchange Tournament.

Tomorrow is the game against the Northern Dream Team.

There can be no substitutes who will be sent to the field in that game, all of them are the main force of the team, and the second time is also the main force of the rotation.

In other words, what that game can decide is the main candidate of Qingdo High School.

To put it bluntly, it is 1 to 9.

As for the remaining numbers, the final confirmation will be completed in today's game.

In the lobby of the hotel, all the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team sat on the floor.

One by one, they stared at Kataoka in front of them intently, waiting for the list to be announced from Kataoka's mouth.

In the previous few games, everyone played smoothly, and almost every player had an excellent performance.

Of course, a few have performed exceptionally well and are almost certain to remain in the First Army.

The old student will not say it, like the Okumura in the new life, Yuki Shogun.

It was almost certain that they would definitely stay in the First Army.

And for this, none of the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team objected.

Although these two are freshmen in the first year, in the previous game, both of them have played a particularly strong strength.

Their light is even brighter than many of the 23rd grade seniors present.

The Qingdao High School baseball team is a place where strength is respected.

The players have such strength, and it is impossible for Director Kataoka to turn a blind eye no matter what.

So they stay in the first army, it can be said that it is a certainty.

Other than them, like the better players in Year 23. There is no doubt that they will stay in the army.

That's the only game that Sawamura Eijun and Kyo played.

When it comes to overall performance, it's not even outstanding among all the seniors.

But no one questioned his status.

After all, Sawamura is the well-deserved ace of the Qingdo High School baseball team.

Even if the presence of other people is not as good as that of Sawamura Eijun, they are also indispensable main players in the team.

Take Kominato, for example.

Because Superintendent Kataoka wants to give other newcomers a chance, in these few practice games, there are not many opportunities for Kominato Haruichi to play.

But no one would think that he would lose the qualification of the main force.

Excellent performance, stable position...

These people certainly don't have to worry.

But the vast majority of people can't reach this level. Even if the other players have a moment of outstanding performance, everyone is only half a pound.

No one is higher than anyone else.

At such a time, supervisor Kataoka pays more attention to whom and who will be given more opportunities.

This becomes very important.

To put it bluntly, the person who was particularly valued by Director Kataoka.

He had the best chance to stay in the first army.

It's no surprise that the players are staring at Kataoka with their own life and death at stake.

Kataoka raised his head and glanced around at his disciples.

In his eyes, revealing the taste of gratification.

Before announcing the list, Kataoka bowed slightly to the players present.

"You won all six games! I'm really happy for you and proud of you. In these few games, everyone's performance is very good. So I hope that in the next games, everyone can also Keep up the good work. In the end, the 20 who can stay on the roster are definitely the top 20."

Supervisor Kataoka did not deliberately evade this question, but spoke out frankly in front of all the players.

When Director Kataoka made this issue public, the eyes of all the baseball club members changed.

They had a premonition that it was coming!

No matter what their original thoughts were in their minds?

At this time, the list announced from Kataoka's mouth is the result.

Whoever can get the chance to play in this game has the hope of staying in the first army.

"First hit, shortstop, Kuramochi!"

Supervisor Kataoka didn't mean to be sloppy, but directly stated the list.

When he pronounced the first name, Gao Jin, who was sitting below, clenched his fist tightly.

Gao Jin did not have any extravagant hopes. He replaced Kuangchi and became the team's number one shortstop.

He believes that with his own strength, it is acceptable to be promoted to the first army as a substitute.

However, Supervisor Kataoka directly dispatched the main force Kuramochi in this game and did not give him a chance.

This indirectly shows that his chances of staying in the First Army are not very big.

You must know that in the first few practice games, although his performance was good, it was definitely not outstanding.

To put it bluntly, the position is not stable.

In the last exchange game, Supervisor Kataoka did not give him another chance to prove himself.

That's pretty telling.

"Second stick, second baseman, Kominato Haruichi!"

Superintendent Kataoka, but he doesn't have the mind to pay attention to his own disciple. What are you thinking at this time?

He then began to announce the next list.

"Yes!"

Kominato Haruichi, who acted as a spectator for several practice games in a row. Hearing that he finally had a chance to play, he immediately stood up excitedly.

Director Kataoka nodded at Kominato Haruichi, and then began to announce the list below.

"Third, outfielder, Hakushu."

During the game, Baizhou's performance did not seem to be particularly eye-catching. Especially compared with Akatsuki Fukugu, the difference in presence is not even a star.

But combing through his results, you will find that this person's total score is among the best in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai hesitated for a while.

In the end, it was decided to improve Baizhou's bat.

The list is published here, and everyone realizes that something is wrong.

This doesn't seem to be doing the final test, but selecting the main candidate?

The three people who played were the kind of characters who didn't have to worry about their positions.

Even Gao Jin slowly loosened his clenched fist.

He doesn't seem to have completely lost his chance yet.

Sitting at the back of the crowd, Sawamura rested his head on his hands in a bored way.

Looking at this posture, I am afraid I don't have to play in today's game.

It's just that Los Angeles is not the same as San Francisco, which is infighting.

I really underestimate this opponent. Maybe the Qingdao High School baseball team will capsize in the gutter.
