7. Sudden practice matches

In the afternoon, it is time for club activities once a day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kasuga, together with his new classmate friend Hisachi Watanabe, went to the locker room of the baseball club, changed out of the school uniform on his body, and put on the standard sportswear worn by the newcomers to the baseball club.

Then they took out their baseball gloves and shoes from their lockers, put them on, and went to the court together to prepare for training.

Because of the fact that the class had just ended, there were only about 20 people on the court who arrived early and were training. Among them, there are senior students, and there are also several first-year freshman rookies.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the three military students a few days ago, Katsuhei Anno led the rookies to the court to practice hitting and catching the ball, and after a few days, all the first-year freshmen began to be bold and slowly moved the original training place from the corner of the court to the center of the court.

However, this kind of situation mostly happened before the seniors who were electing the first army and the second army in the ministry came, once they saw the seniors coming to the stadium one after another, Kasuga Yun and they were still very sensible to give the court back to the seniors of the first army and the second army for training, and they continued to return to the edge of the court to do the basic skills training arranged by the three military students who taught them, Anno Katsuhei.

Seeing that there are still quite few people in the department, Watanabe Hisatochi proposed: "Kasuga-kun, now that the seniors are not here, why don't we take advantage of this rare opportunity to practice throwing a few balls on the board!?" ”

"Whatever! ~”

For training, Kasugayun has always been quite casual, anyway, he is just a rookie who has just learned baseball for less than a month, but he is a veteran who has been playing baseball for several years, and how to train depends on how to talk with experience.

After hearing Kasuga's promise, Watanabe Hisatochi walked back to the locker room very happily and took out a set of catcher's protective gear from it.

Because he knew that Kasuga-yun had just played baseball for a short time, Watanabe Hisachi took the protective gear and explained: "Then, Kasuga-kun, please put on this protective gear, otherwise I won't dare to throw the ball at you later." ”

"Is this ~~ the catcher's protective gear!?" Looking at the complete set of protective gear in the hands of Watanabe Kuchi in front of him, Kasugamo looked at it curiously and asked.

"That's right, it's the Catcher Guard. Because of the need to catch the ball frequently, the catcher should wear this tightly wrapped protective gear to avoid the pitcher from time to time when the pitcher throws wildly, and the flying baseball will not hurt himself when it hits the body. Hisachi Watanabe explained.

At this time, Kasugayun heard a new term, so he asked puzzledly, "What is a burst of investment!?"

After listening to this, Hisachi Watanabe continued to explain, "Burst throwing is a situation that occurs from time to time when pitchers are pitching! It refers to the pitcher's shot being missed or some other condition that makes the catcher unable to catch the ball, which is called a burst shot. ”

"I see, how often do pitchers shoot in games!?" Kasugamo asked again.

"There aren't many cases of big throws, most of them only happen after the pitcher throws too many shots and gets tired. But sometimes it can happen because the pitcher is not in good shape...... Therefore, in a game, if the pitcher does not pitch more than 130 balls, it is generally difficult for the pitcher to throw too much. ”

"130 balls!?"

Seeing Kasuga's incomprehensible look again, Hisachi Watanabe really felt how tired it was to have such a baseball idiot friend. He sighed and continued to explain the basics of baseball: "What do you think! In the official game, the pitcher will throw the ball with all his arms every time. This kind of all-out swing is very physically demanding, and if you have to eliminate three people in one game, each of you throws at least three balls...... After nine innings, the pitcher had to throw at least 81 times with all his might to complete the game. But when you really play, you have to take into account the player's familiarity with the pitcher, and it is inevitable to throw some bad balls to tempt the hitter to play the batter. Besides, do you think 100 balls are really that easy!? Boy, don't talk about 100 balls, now you can throw 50 consecutive good balls, and Lao Tzu will serve you to throw all five bodies!! ”

After saying a few words, in the end, Watanabe Hisachi became more and more excited, and even the foul words of Lao Tzu and the kid came out.

"50 consecutive good balls ......" Kasugayun rolled his eyes directly when he heard this: "I can't even throw 3 consecutive good balls now!" Forget it, the pitcher's world, I don't understand..."

Watanabe Hisatochi couldn't hear the meaning of what Kasugamo said, and now he didn't want to figure it out and urged: "Okay, let's hurry up and throw a few balls, or we have to let the field go when the seniors come over, and then you don't cry and ask me to continue to help you demonstrate the conventional weapon balls of the pitcher!" ”

"Department... Then please ask Watanabe-kun to advise! ”

Half an hour passed quietly in the practice that everyone in the baseball club was concentrating on.

Although the time is very short, it is enough for the first-year freshmen on the court to have a good time on the court.

If it weren't for the rest area, the head of the baseball club and the captain of the baseball club, Hideyuki Tanaka, who was also the captain of the baseball club, shouted loudly to everyone on the court to gather, and it is estimated that the people who are still practicing on the field would have been able to stop today!

But these are just maybes, under the order of the minister, who in the ministry dares to disobey the order and quickly trot to the rest area to line up and gather!

“~~~”

After a period of commotion, all the staff of the baseball club were assembled, and a senior named Kiyoshi Kobayashi was asked to take the roster and confirm the number of attendees one by one. ”

"Hello Minister! ~" The entire baseball club responded in unison to Hideyuki Tanaka's greetings.

"Today, Coach Kawano is going to a meeting in the prefecture with our manager, Miss Mina, so today's training will be arranged by me...... Listen, although the coach is not here, I will not relax your training intensity because of this, so give me a good practice, understand!? Although Hideyuki Tanaka didn't speak in much of his tone, he still clearly felt the majesty of the baseball minister.

So all the students of the baseball club once again collectively responded loudly: "Department! ~”

Seeing this scene, Tanaka Hideyuki stopped talking nonsense and immediately arranged everyone's training and said: "Very good, then today everyone in the first and second armies will give me recovery training and physical training, and the freshmen of the third army and the first year will ...... Give you half an hour to warm up and prepare, and in half an hour the two teams will form their own teams and play practice matches! …… Listen, the rookies of the three armies and the first grade, although today's practice match is just training, I hope you can show 100% of your strength to show yourself, and if you are outstanding, I will arrange for Coach Kawano to have a chance to be promoted, do you understand!? ”

The first-year rookies who were still a little frustrated to hear that they were going to play a game with the seniors of the three armed forces in the ministry today, when they heard that if they performed outstandingly, they could have a chance to be promoted, and they all shouted loudly.

As for the old birds in the three armies, they are much calmer, but the irrepressible excitement on everyone's faces is very obvious, and the people of the three armies also have high expectations for this practice match!

At this time, our male pig Kasuga Yuntong Shoes was stunned there, and he didn't hear the slightest thing that their first-year freshmen were going to play a game with the seniors of the three armies.

Still standing next to Kasuga, the more calm Akai Inuchiro pushed Kasugamo with his elbow and asked, "Hey, boy, what are you doing!?" If the minister is in a meeting, you dare to desert, and if you are caught by the minister, you will feel good. ”

"Oh~" Kasugayun came back to his senses and snorted, indicating that he knew.

At this time, Watanabe Hisachi, a classmate of Kasugamo on the other side, said excitedly: "Kasuga-kun, did you hear that, just now the minister said that the seniors of the first and second armies are all resting today, and the venue will be given to us and the seniors of the third army to have a practice match!" Ha ha...... It's really great, I've been in the baseball club for so long and finally been able to play a good game, cool! ~”

"What!? ~”

Because Kasugamo had been deserting just now, thinking about the three ways of the ball he had received when he and Watanabe were practicing pitching, he didn't hear clearly that they still had a game to play today, which made Kasugamo stunned for a while.

When Akai Inuichiro saw Kasuga's appearance, he knew that this kid was obviously deserting, so he reminded: "That's right, the minister has already said just now, we will have a game with the seniors of the three armies later...... Okay, big guys, don't talk nonsense about ink, hurry up and come around to discuss the order and location of the personnel who will wait for us to appear!"

Watanabe Hisatochi also echoed at this time: "That's right, the minister has only given us half an hour to prepare, and everyone will tell you what you think and wait for the position you are going to fight!" Let me start by saying, when I become a pitcher, will anyone want to be my partner!? ”

"I'll do it! ~" It was Kumata Tsuchihara, the tallest guy among the first-year freshmen, who took a step forward and patted Kusachi Watanabe on the shoulder and said, "I've been a catcher before, so it's no problem catching the ball." ”

After hearing this, Watanabe Hisatochi was overjoyed and said, "Haha...... Then please ask Xiong too much advice, go~~ Let's go over and discuss the casting code! ~”

"Let's go! ~”

After saying that, the two of them walked away first and went to the side to discuss in a whisper.

And here, Kasugayun and the others are still discussing the order of their appearances and the positions they are going to play.

Qi Pingtuo, Class B, the first grade, also said: "Give me the first base, I will never let anyone easily step on my base, as for the line, I will hit the 7th base!" ”

Eisuke Hasegawa, who is also in Class B of the first grade, also said loudly at this time: "I play the right fielder, the sixth base." ”

"Midfielder, I'm going to get the 8th bat!"

"Third baseman, 5th baseman, Lao Tzu is going to hit a hard game today, let's watch the show!"

“~~”

In the end, after discussion, it was decided that the list of first-year students who would appear was finally determined.

They were catcher Kumata Tsuchihara with the 4th base, pitcher Kusachi Watanabe with the 9th, first baseman Takuya Saipei with the 7th baseman, third baseman Ryuichi Horibe with the 1st baseman, shortstop Junichiro Akai with the 2nd baseman, shortstop Hidenaka Sato with the 5th baseman, Hidesuke Hasegawa the right fielder with the 6th baseman, and Nakamidan Shihachi with the 3rd baseman.

And the last left fielder unexpectedly decided to let Kasugayun play, and at the same time, he also played the role of the 8th batter in the line.

This unexpected decision made De Chun Riyun stunned directly after hearing it......

I'll go, it seems that I didn't say I was going to play, did you ask me for my opinion!? ~~
