In the end, in the breakfast battle rankings, Kasuga's name appeared in the 43rd position, while his friend Hisachi Watanabe was ranked 39th in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the most unexpected thing is that the best score in the first grade is not Hisachi Watanabe, but Junichiro Akai, who is still in front of him, and this guy is in 33rd place in the battle and has breakfast.

This achievement made Junichiro Akai's status in the baseball club suddenly rise a lot!

You know, the team management and coach arranged this battle is actually to test everyone's physical fitness and the physical talent of playing baseball.

While the data may not be accurate, for many people, this set of training data is enough to sum up the level of baseball talent they have now!

In fact, several of the first-year Kasuga clouds have successfully broken into the top 50, which is something that the team management and coaches and others can't believe.

After all, after removing the 18 students in the main rotation of the first army and the second army, the remaining ones who can break into the top 50 are basically the bottom of the third army and the second army, and as for the first-year freshmen who can break into the top 50 in the test, this is something that has not happened in Aoba Daotai High School in recent years.

In other words, there are several first-year recruits to develop in this year's first-year students -- something that baseball management and coaches think about after getting the test results.

Especially Kasuga, you must know that when manager Mina Narita introduced him to the baseball club, he was still a baseball idiot who didn't even know what kind of sport baseball was!

But now that more than half a month has passed, this kid is really decent to play baseball now.

And the team management and coaches have heard about it, and Kasugamo seems to have shown that he has some potential in pitching in several training sessions.

In addition, the first breakfast battle of this training in the dormitory showed that he was much better than many newcomers in the department, so the coach Ichiro Kawano also remembered this beginner.

It's just that before the future development direction of Kasugamo is determined, Ichiro Kawano doesn't want to interfere with Kasugaun's development in baseball!

Let's wait until today's group training is over!

………………

After breakfast, some people are happy and some are sad.

The top 80 students who succeeded in the challenge were all full of food, while those who did not make it to the top 80 were miserable, and had to go back to their rooms to rummage through their luggage to see if they could find a piece of bread and a bite of boiling water.

Then, at 10 o'clock in the morning, when the sun was already high, all the students of the baseball club gathered on the edge of the training ground next to the hilltop hostel, waiting for the coach to give a lecture before the official start of today's training.

Coach Ichiro Kawano explained in detail the importance of group training this morning, and hoped that all the new students in the first grade would carefully consider it.

"Yes! ~" After listening to the coach's words, everyone replied in unison.

"Disband!" After hearing everyone's response, coach Kawano immediately shouted out to dismiss all the students and began to let them go to the field for morning adaptation training.

After a while, all the members of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the baseball club, which had been gathered together, dispersed to various places on the field and began their adaptation training this morning.

After a while, the court began to be lively, leaving all the new freshmen in the first grade, one by one, who were on the sidelines, their eyes were bright, and they began to be eager to try.

Group training,This is a tradition of the Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club,After the newcomers join the department for a period of training,Based on the results of the inspection,Let the newcomers choose to join the team at any point with their own training results,And then let the seniors lead the newcomers to continue to receive high school baseball training,Until the newcomers can take charge of themselves。

It's just that for Kasuga, who is still a beginner, he will never know what is going on if no one explains them to him clearly.

So at this time, everyone else began to enter the field with bats and gloves to practice with the seniors, and Watanabe Hisachi appeared at the right time to propose a sentence for the dazed Kasuga Cloud on the side: "Hey~~ Stupid, what's the daze, why don't you hurry up and take the gloves and go on the field together to receive the guidance of the seniors!" ”

"Ah...... Oh~~ But I don't know what training I should choose next! Watanabe-kun: Did you choose to do pitcher training!? As soon as Kasugamo saw Watanabe wearing a baseball cap, holding the ball in one hand and wearing gloves in the other, he knew that his friend definitely had 101 choices to be a pitcher.

However, it is not surprising that although there are some first-year freshmen who want to stand on the pitcher's mound and be a pitcher, no one wants to stay on the pitcher's mound and continue to pitch like Hisachi Watanabe.

This is not to say that the baseball skills of these freshmen in the baseball club are not good...... Well, no matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as the current Kasuga clouds!

It's just that as an ace pitcher of a baseball team, the first thing necessary is ball control, then ball speed, and then ball power.

Ball control means that the pitcher must be able to continuously throw the ball to the position indicated by the catcher, and the error of up and down and left and right shall not exceed half of the ball position to be qualified;

In terms of ball speed, high school baseball generally requires pitchers to have a minimum ball speed of 125 km/h, and some of the more powerful pitchers can even reach 130 km/h or even higher;

As for the ball power, it is a direct impact of the pitcher's rotation when the baseball is flying in the air after throwing a ball, such as the speed ball, if the spin is fast enough, some pitchers can increase the speed of the ball in the second half of the speed ball throwing, so that the hitter will be very uncomfortable and will miss the ball late.

In short, only with the above three talents can you become a baseball player with pitcher potential.

Except for Hisachi Watanabe, who was able to pass these three tests, the rest of the first-year freshmen either didn't have ball speed, or didn't have enough ball control, and none of them could shoot the ball, so these people could only choose to be hitters in the end!

At this time, Kasugamo also encountered the choice problem that these people had encountered before...... Did he choose to be a fighter today!? Why don't you try to be a pitcher with your friend Hisachi Watanabe!

It's just that Watanabe Hisachi directly helped him make a choice, and dragged Kasugamo to the cowshed next to the baseball field: "What do you want to do so much, go, follow me to the cowshed to play ball!" ”

"Cowshed!?" When Kasuga-yun was dragged away, he heard this name, and he didn't know the meaning for a while, and he popped out a sentence that made Watanabe Hisatochi collapse: "Watanabe-kun still has to train now, what are you doing looking for cows in the cowshed!?" Playing with poop!? …… I'll go, so you want to play poop! After saying that, Kasugayun immediately broke free of Watanabe Hisachi's hand dragging him forward, flashed to the side, and looked at him with extremely wrong eyes.

As soon as these words came out, they directly brought 10,000 points of damage to Watanabe Hisatochi, so he slapped Kasuga angrily and slapped it on the back of Karuhi's head: "Fuck you, you're perverted!" ~Cowshed, do you see there, that's a special field for our pitchers to train, okay!! ~~ I'll go, kindly drag you to try out the pitcher, but you, you, you just play poop, your whole family plays poop! ~”

"Ahla~~" Kasugayun was frightened by his friend's angry expression, and knew that he was making a joke again, so he hurriedly comforted and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ~ You also know that I don't understand these such high-level terms, please make it clear in the future! ”

"There's a high school there, this is something that everyone knows, okay!?" Watanabe Hisachi didn't say this, but spit out bitterness in his heart, because even if he said it, it would be useless, and Kasugamo was indeed an idiot now.

………………

Soon, the two arrived at the pitcher's training ground, the cowshed.

This is a semi-open-air type very similar to our common open-air bicycle parking lot of a field, but in the training ground there is no special fence like the bicycle parking lot, but is divided into the same training field, the field has a special pitcher board and catcher area, the setting is the same as the competition field, but the pitcher board is not the pitcher mound above the horizon.

Such a training ground does look very similar to the nest used to house cattle in the breeding farm from the outside, so people in the baseball world will also jokingly call the training ground a cowshed.

By this time, three of the five hunting training areas in the barn had been occupied.

As soon as Kasugayun and Watanabe Hisachi entered the training ground, they saw that the people who were doing shooting training in these training areas were all the seniors of the first, second and third armies in the department, so they hurriedly stood in front of the door and bent down to salute and greeted: "Hello seniors, first-year Class A newcomers Watanabe Hisachi and Kasugamo came to report, please give me more advice, thank you!" “

"Oh, it's two first-graders this time! Are you ready to be a pitcher!? “

"Department, please give me a lot of advice! ~"Because Kasugamo doesn't understand the rules, it's all said by Watanabe Hisato, and Kasugamo is responsible for nodding his head on the side.

"It's useless to talk nonsense, boy, if you want to stay in the cowshed and train, then show us what you can do!" At this time, the senior student who had just spoken out and coolly threw a ball to Kuchido Watanabe.

"Yes! ~Please give me a lot of advice~"

It's still the same sentence, but at this time, Watanabe Hisatochi no longer meant to say hello, but to hint to all the senior students in the cowshed at this time: Come on, senior, we are ready to accept the challenge!
