35. A new sight in the baseball club
After the retirement of the third-year seniors of the baseball club, the impact on the department was great. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the first thing that is inevitable is that because many of the third-year seniors are second-team, or even directly selected players from the first army, the overall strength of the baseball department after their retirement has been significantly lowered by a notch because of the lack of many main players who can fight directly.
Of course, the good thing is that after these seniors retired, many of the training resources that had been occupied by them before were all vacated at this time. This can make the only remaining second-grade and first-year students in the department bloom, because if there is no retirement from the seniors, the junior students in the department will not have much opportunity to access a higher level and better training resources, and at the same time, there is no opportunity for them to stand out or take the lead.
At the same time as getting these training resources, everyone in the entire baseball club finally weakened some of the negative effects caused by the retirement of the previous third-year seniors in their hearts.
Soon, the baseball department ushered in a new pace of development, although at this time the new baseball department main selection personnel list has not been announced, but according to many second-year seniors in the department, the new main army will likely increase the use of first-year freshmen.
In other words, this year's baseball club will focus more on the development of first-year freshmen than ever before.
This news is undoubtedly a great thing for many first-year freshmen who have just joined the baseball club!
As a result, the first-year freshmen who have a lot of hope for each other have never complained a word about how hard they are trained by the coach or how tired they are by the seniors in their weekday training.
On this afternoon, the first-year students were on the occupied field, and all the guarded positions were full of new faces that they had not seen before. And today, the people who are responsible for the sparring of these freshmen are Katsuhei Anno and Keisuke Aihara, who are more familiar to everyone in the second year and the third army.
What I have to say here is that thanks to the retirement of the third-grade seniors, although Yasuno and Aihara at this time still have the identities of the three armies, in fact, coach Kawano and Minister Tanaka, who are already in a semi-retired state, have already used Anno and Aihara as the leaders of the new army.
It's a pity that both of them are only defensive hitters, not pitchers, so they are destined to not be the team's ace main players, but because their qualifications and experience are richer than many people in the lower part of the team, there is no problem with Yasuno and Aihara becoming the main lineup of the first army in the future.
At this time, they were doing a kind of regular training that the third-year seniors used to do for them.
Of course, at this time, the roles played by Yasuno and Aihara have also changed from being trained to being manipulated by the training.
I saw Aihara standing in the right strike zone of the home plate area with a bat in his hand, shouting towards the court: "Oh, boys, you are blessed today, let the seniors accompany you to practice how to better complete the defense, catch the ball!" ”
"Great! ~”
As soon as the ball was played, Akai in the field's guerrilla zone reacted immediately, quickly ran to get the ball to the right into the glove, and then passed the ball to the first baseman without stopping.
"Come again~~"
"Awesome~"
Another shot was struck, this time in the direction of the left fielder.
The ball is hit fast and flat, and if the fielder is not careful, it is really not easy to catch the ball!
However, these are not problems, as a first-year freshman, Eisuke Hasegawa's range of defense and technology, whether it is on the left, right or middle, it is completely competent, and there is no problem.
I saw that he was running fast, bent over and put the ball into his glove at the moment before the baseball was about to hit the ground, and immediately braked and quickly passed the ball back into the first baseman's glove after an emergency stop.
"Very good, continue~" Aihara, who saw the ball caught in the home plate area, praised it, and once again knocked the ball out for the first-year freshman to catch.
On the other hand, in the cowshed training ground, Kasuga, who had successfully completely occupied a pitching training ground at this time, would also stand beside him a second-year senior who was guiding the training.
This senior's name is Mitsuru Hayakawa, and he is the ace pitcher of the second army of the original baseball club, a traditional right-hand pitcher who is good at using speedball, slide ball and curveball as standing weapons, and his pitching style is tough but tricky, and he can often solve the hitter under a speedball with a controllable speed of up to 140 kilometers per hour, which is a very suitable senior for Kasugamo pitchers to train the ball path.
After experiencing joining the baseball club, co-lodging training, playing two practice games, and even the retirement of the third-grade seniors in the baseball club at the end, although Kasugamo at this time is still a beginner who has just learned to play baseball for 1 year, and the ball path he knows is only one kind of speedball, but under the training of a group of seniors in the baseball club, Kasugayun will also slowly become familiar with and master the ball path shooting method of the speedball.
Although his current highest controllable ball speed in terms of ball speed is just over 130 km/h, if he really lets it go, even if it is a 130 speedball, many senior hitters in the department may not be able to hit the speedball thrown by Kasuga.
That's because, although Kasugamo is a beginner, because of the beginner, his throwing hand shape is still not completely finalized, and this also leads to the fact that every time he throws the ball, there will be more or less unexpected changes compared to those experienced pitchers whose hand shape has been set.
To paraphrase the complaining words of Watanabe, this guy is simply a change pitcher who was born with his own system, and he can even throw a speedball to throw a slideball, Carter, stretch card, and even some inexplicable changes in the ball path, and the hitter wants to use the speed ball path to find the right point, which is simply more difficult than letting them go up to challenge the speedball ball path of more than 140 kilometers!
Of course, in addition to Kasuga's pitching skills, Watanabe, a first-year ace pitcher, has also improved greatly. Because Watanabe, this kid didn't know what kind of **** luck he had, but he got the help of Koji Nakamura, a third-grade senior, so that he learned a lot of skills in throwing speed and ball control that he hadn't mastered before, which made his pitching strength rise a lot.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the second-year second-army pitcher Mitsuru Hayakawa's ball path is more powerful, maybe this guy can still point to the ace pitcher position after the formation of the new army!
At this moment, several students wearing school uniforms suddenly walked in at the door of the cowshed training ground.
When everyone who was training saw the arrival, they immediately stopped their training and bent down to salute and greet: "The seniors are here!" ~”
"Nakamura senpai is good~"
"Hello Minister!"
"Yuehua senior is good~"
"Hello Ogata-senpai!"
"Kobayashi senior is good~"
It turned out that the people who came to the cowshed training ground to watch the training were Tanaka and others who had just retired from the main lineup of the former baseball club.
It's just that compared with the past when they came to train in football uniforms, the current third-grade seniors are wearing the kind of suit-style school uniforms that are the school's unified formal uniforms, which looks a little less sports enthusiasm and more literary atmosphere.
As soon as he came in, Kobayashi Kiyoshi, who was easier to speak, greeted everyone: "Yo~~ Hello everyone!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Yuehua Blade also shouted: "It seems that everyone is working hard!" ~”
And Ogata Jun directly threatened: "Of course you have to work hard, if you show me that kid doesn't train hard, I don't mind playing again to teach you a love and pain!" ”
"~~~" As soon as these words came out, who dared to pick them up, they could only smile vaguely.
But it's not that there are people who aren't afraid of death, such as ......
"Senior, it's rare for you to be free today, why don't you take off your clothes and teach us again!?" The one who spoke was a second-year catcher standing at the bottom of the cowshed, whose name was Hibino Shota, a hot-blooded baseball maniac.
And his words were immediately recognized by a group of third-year seniors who had just walked into the cowshed training ground, and they all agreed interestingly: "Okay, I'm afraid that after we retire, there will be no more lords in the baseball club who are not afraid of death!" ~~Come on......"
"Nani!?"
"I'll go, what the hell! ~”
"Hachige, Hibino, you're looking for death! It's rare for seniors to come over, can't we have a good chat and talk about life!? ”
"Oh~~Please, can we still have fun in the future!? Jerk Hibino ...... I hate you!! ”
But no matter how the others objected to the complaining, there were soon bursts of painful shouts from some people in the cowshed training ground.
………………
A few days later, the fateful day finally arrived.
Before training, coach Kawano talked at length about everything in the baseball club recently, and finally turned to the main topic: "...... So, the next thing is about the staffing list of the main lineup of the new baseball club, please stand at the front of the team and receive your number jersey! ”
"Yes! ~"All the students of the baseball club responded loudly and neatly.
At this time, coach Kawano opened the folder in his hand, looked at a list sandwiched in it, and announced loudly: "First of all, the lineup of the three armies of the baseball club is Shino Hase, the second grade C class of the outfielders, number 29!" “
"Yes! ~" Hearing the roll call, a second-year senior in the team stood up, walked to the front of the team, and received the team uniform exclusive to the three armies from the hands of the team manager, the beautiful teacher Mina Narita.
It was a training uniform with an orange vest and a blue-sleeved white cedar suit, although it was not the uniform that the baseball club was selecting for the main team, but the senior named Shiina Hase, who was named, was still excited to lead his jersey and stand straight to the front of the team.
For many ordinary boys who love baseball but have ordinary talents, it is already good to be able to enter the three-armed team in the baseball club.
After Shino Hase's jersey was received, coach Kawano continued to announce the name of the second student to enter the tri-armed lineup: "Okay, the next student to enter the tri-armed squad is ......"
