39. Departure - Spring League

With the confirmation of the schedule after the draw, the pace of preparing for the Spring League regional selection tournament in the baseball club of Aoba Dodai High School has also begun to press even closer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially in terms of training, almost all the members of the baseball club have entered the most nervous state, and the different training programs in each school every day also make the students of the baseball club's three military lineups and their skills continue to rise.

Let's not talk about the others here, in terms of our male pig Hasugayun alone, his progress can be said to be the one that has changed the most up and down.

Two months ago, when I first joined the baseball club, Kasuga was still a baseball idiot who didn't even know what baseball was!

As a result, now, he has unexpectedly joined the first-team roster in the baseball department and has become one of the relay pitchers in the first-team roster as a reserve rotation......

And when it comes to strength, although at the moment Kasugamo still only knows how to throw a speedball, and his ball control is still not as perfect as his friend Watanabe, it is precisely this imperfect defect that has created Kasuga's unpredictable pitching style on the ball road.

Well, it's a good thing to say about this, it's a cow fork, it's not a good thing to say...... That is, Kasuga Cloud is still a stupid one!

In fact, since moving to the bullpen training ground as a pitcher, Kasuga's ball control has improved a lot compared to the beginning, from the original pitching error to the whole body, to the current condensed into a good ball belt.

It seems that the error is only one or two baseball positions, but this is already remarkable! And the next step, Kasugayun has to learn to try to control the ball perfectly, pointing to that pitch and that, so that he can become a qualified pitcher.

Of course, for Kasuga, this simple and direct goal is what he is most eager to achieve at the moment.

But in the eyes of coach Kawano and Nakamura, the former ace pitcher of the First Army, as well as the current ace pitcher of the First Army, Hayakawa, and Watanabe, a friend of the relay, Kasugamo can only fully realize his talent as a true baseball pitcher when he can truly achieve the above goal!

At that point, a quirky pitcher with arguably the most terrifying of all pitching talents will awaken on the baseball field...... Think about how good it is for the baseball club to think that such a big event will happen in the near future!

………………

As soon as we enter November, it is late autumn, and the leaves of the maple trees on the street are almost all beautiful maple red. When people walk on the side of the road, the leaves of the maple trees that drift down from time to time make the street look like a painting.

And for all the students of the Aoba Dodai High School baseball club, the arrival of such a beautiful scenery is not a good thing for them, unless they are ready to start the battle of the Spring League...... Are they ready!?

On the court, it was strange today that all the students of the first squad of the new army did not train as hard as usual, but formed a circle in front of the rest area as if discussing something.

Because after today, the new team of their Aoba Dodai High School baseball club will embark on the journey of their high school career, the first Koshien tournament. Therefore, at this moment, the main forces of the first army of the New Army, which had been prepared, gathered together before the war and held this pre-war mobilization analysis meeting.

The captain of the new army, Katsuhei Anno, and his friend Keisuke Aihara squatted in the middle, and Anno took a branch to write and scratch the ground as a tactical board, and said step by step: "In the regional selection competition, our first opponent is Nanjiao High School. This year's Nangao New Army, like us, was only formed in the fall, and it can be said that their overall strength is still not as good as in previous years.

But even so, we can't afford to underestimate it!

First of all, for their main pitcher, Hinata Kaota, he is a pitcher in the second army of the former school in the second grade, according to the intelligence collected by the seniors of our logistics group, Hinata is a right pitcher, but it should be noted that he is a side pitcher, and he has a good set of ball control on the low ball road, as well as sliders and stretching cards.

Therefore, our line hitters, in the game, we should pay special attention to the changes on both sides of his ball road, it is best to play with the center of gravity in the back to see the ball road before shooting, even if it is not far away, it doesn't matter, the first 3 games we all use to observe!

After that, it was Hinata's famous stunt - a side-throwing outside curveball.

This ball path is a super uncomfortable way for the right-hand player, and everyone can clearly see in the video these days that this kid's ball path changes a lot. Often when you think the ball is going to be a bad ball that comes to you and you want to dodge, it turns halfway through and turns into a good ball.

So for this move, Coach Kawano's tip to us is to hit the foot of the stretch out must go out, and when we encounter a bad ball in the right direction, whether it is intentionally thrown or not, or it is really Hinata's outside curveball, we must resolutely play the bat, only in this way can we spell a way!

In terms of defense, their line is basically not much different from ours, so it's not our defenders who really decide the outcome of this game, it's your pitchers who will play against each other......"

Speaking of this, Anno turned his attention to Watanabe and Kasuga Cloud with a serious face, as for the ace pitcher of the team, Mitsuru Hayakawa, coach Kawano made an arrangement for him to play the last relay in a previous meeting.

Well, in other words, in the first game of the regional trials, coach Kawano meant that he wanted to put the two rookie pitchers Watanabe and Kasuga, who were in the first grade, directly on the court to start training with battles.

This can make Watanabe nervous enough, and after hearing the news, he went straight to insomnia that night.

And what about Kasuga clouds...... He's good, this kid has a lot of nerves, and he can drip as much as he wants, and he doesn't have any pressure at all!

God knows what he thinks, is it confident!? Or is it better to put the idea on Watanabe's body at all, and it's best for him to play without a relay!?

Perhaps, the latter is the most genuine inner thought of this guy at this time - at this time, all the people in the First Army except for Kasuga Cloud thought so.

Having said that, at this time, he noticed that the senior Anno and everyone in the first army attached importance to him, and Watanabe hurriedly said out: "Oh, don't worry about leaving it to me!" ~I'll definitely throw the guard in this game! ”

"~~~" Yasuno didn't continue to answer, but stood up and half-bent over, put his hands on the shoulders of the people on his left and right respectively, pulled the two of them up, and stood there half-bent.

The others also stood up at this time and tacitly started Anno's action, and soon the other 15 people of the entire army stood in a circle and half-bent over, waiting for Anno's next words.

"Partners, this is our first official announcement after becoming a new army, have you come to your senses!?" Anno asked with a slight smile and a confident tone.

"Oh~~"

"Come on, Anye, Uncle Ben has been waiting impatiently!"

"Hey~~ Spring League, the dream that my country couldn't do when I was in middle school is about to come true!"

"Target Koshien, there's nothing to say, come on, senior!! ~“

Seeing the impatient look on the faces of everyone around him, Anye smiled, and then he asked seriously: "So, let's come...... Who are we!? “

"Aoba Dodai High School Baseball Club!" Suddenly, with Anno's questioning, all 16 members of the first army shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the second army, the third army, and even other students who were not on the lineup list who were training desperately on the court.

"What is our goal!?"

"Hanshin Koshien Stadium Winner!" All 16 members of the First Army continued to shout loudly and ask and answer.

"For this goal ~~"

"For this goal, we are not afraid of firm belief and difficulties, and we will cherish the honor of the school and ourselves, turn this into courage, and turn the dream in our hearts into strength, and we vow to dominate the country! Just because we are ~~ King Aoba, roar wow~~~"

"King Aoba Ye Ye Ye Ahhhh

"Ahhhh

"Wow~~~"

Well, this scene looks like the 16 people of the first army are a bit infected with the fan of the second serious illness, but I have to say that at this time, the students who are training on the field of the entire baseball club have clearly felt the new look of the new army of the baseball club.

At the same time, I also began to look forward to the new army in my heart.

"Wow~~ That's good, the boys of the new army! ~" These are the words of praise from several retired third-year seniors who are watching the training in the rest area.

"Yo Xi, the first army should be like this! ~~ King Aoba, haha~~ That's right, we are the king's team! Come on, Armies of the Army! The people of the Second Army thought so.

"It's so strong, it's comparable to the previous seniors, right!? Cross-country~"

"Yes! ~" The first-year freshman, who was called off-road by his partners, looked at the momentum of the first army and others shouting slogans, and said with some feelings: "Come on, partners!" ”

After some crazy slogans, Yasuno straightened up and announced: "Today's training of the First Army is over here, everyone has worked hard, pack up your things early and go home to rest, tomorrow ...... Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock sharp, we will gather here and then set off...... First of all, our first goal is to win the top three in the regional selection tournament of the Spring League and strive to enter the second round of the regional selection tournament, understand!? ”

"Understood! ~" The crowd replied aloud.

Then Anno waved his hand, and Fan, who was very captain, said, "Disband!" ~”

"Oh! ~~" At this time, everyone in the first army raised their gloved right hands high, and collectively shouted again: "I will swear to enter Koshien, we are the king, the Aoba Dotai!! “
