Chapter 6: Kataoka Iron Heart
Seido High School Baseball Club, Supervision Office.
A tall, burly man wearing sunglasses. I'm carefully flipping through the test results of the freshmen's entrance to the team.
This man is the actual person in charge of the baseball club of Seido High School, Kataoka Tetsushin.
Kataoka originally graduated from Seido.
It is also the tradition of the top schools, they only recognize students who have graduated from their own schools.
Other minor departments, irrelevant.
The heads of important departments are all graduates of Qingdao.
For example, the superintendent of the baseball department, the minister, the director of admissions.
All of them.
The chubby Minister Ota and Rei Takashima, who has a pair of big murder weapons, sit on the sofa and discuss the newcomers of this year's session.
"It's still Miss Takashima who has a vision, and the contestant who was specially recruited by you won the first place in the three items of the basic test. Miyuki's long throw was the first place in the team, with a full 115 meters. It's two meters more than Chris's then. Kuramochi's classmates are also good, his speed is far beyond the level of high school students. If you train well, you will definitely be able to become an important force for our team. and Zhang Han's ......"
When Zhang Han was mentioned, Minister Ota suddenly couldn't find the right adjective.
This player is very good at all aspects and is very good at using his strengths, especially in the striking aspect, and even beat Aso, Miyuki and Yamaguchi to get the highest score in the first grade.
Minister Ota has a very strange feeling that Zhang Han is very useful.
There's no basis for that, that's what he thinks.
This player, no matter where it is placed? No matter what kind of task is assigned to him?
He should be able to do it well.
And he is very clear about his responsibilities and has a very high level of execution.
If Ota is asked to evaluate Zhang Han, he can only say that it is very good.
In addition to this, let him add some more adjectives, or go into details.
He couldn't find the right words.
Rei Takashima smiled and nodded.
Obviously, she is also very proud to be able to recruit so many potential newcomers in one go. Although these newcomers cannot be immediately transformed into combat power, as long as they exist, there is hope for the team.
"Superintendent, the five freshmen who have a chance to become a force before the Summer Tournament are yours. How do you think you need to arrange it? Or do you wait until after the orientation game? ”
Rei Takashima stood up and walked towards Kataoka with a swaying demeanor.
The 5 players she is talking about are the top 5 players in Kataoka's list.
First place, Kazuya Miyuki, catcher. Potential SS, existing strength A+.
Second place, Zhang Han, pitcher, first baseman, outfielder. In middle school, I focused on these three positions. Matsukata is the third main player in the small base, and even if he doesn't play to pitch, he stays on the court 70% of the time.
Matsukata was able to win the runner-up in the national competition, and he was one of the core players.
Although Zhang Han's comprehensive ranking is not as high as Yu Xinggao, he is introduced the most.
It can be seen that the person who made this list is very optimistic about Zhang Han's future.
Third place, Kenjiro Hakushu, outfielder. It doesn't seem to have any presence, and his appearance is mediocre. Not to mention comparing with Zhang Han, Yu Xing can throw him 8 streets.
But this person is very strong, and he is basically in the top three in all tests.
If you want to choose combat power, although this person has no sense of existence, he is also a suitable person.
After all, baseball depends on strength, as long as the strength is strong enough, other details can be ignored.
This is the case with Hakushu, his strength is strong enough.
Fourth place, Yoichi Kuramochi, a guerrilla.
The ability to hit and throw far away is not particularly outstanding. But in terms of garrison, it has a very high potential.
Although he didn't do the test, his grades in middle school were outstanding, and he showed this trait in the details.
The most important thing is his terrifying speed. As long as the timing is right, it can be a killer for the team.
So although the other abilities are average, one trick is eaten all over the world.
That speed alone was enough for him to be on the list.
The last one, Jun Aso, first baseman, outfielder, 4th baseman in the junior high school era.
The tests are among the best and the overall ranking is high.
Although there are still many people in this class of freshmen, they have shown some potential.
For example, Hiroshi Ono, Kawashima, Kawakami, Yamaguchi, Maezoen, Pipe Nao, Kijima, etc.
Compared with the previous session, there are many more good seedlings this time.
But their characteristics are not prominent, and their bodies are immature.
There is still a long way to go.
Unlike the previous ones, they have shown the ability to be not inferior to the players of the second army in a certain aspect.
There are even two people who, in some respects, can already challenge an army.
That's why Takashima said they have a chance to be a force in the team before the summer tournament begins.
With so many newcomers, it is impossible for the Qingdao High School baseball team to take care of all of them from the beginning.
It must be screened layer by layer and focused on training.
For example, the top few are qualified to compete for the back number. Even if you don't make it, wait until the third-year contestant graduates.
Their names will also appear in the list of the First Army.
"You don't need to consider the grades in middle school, it depends on the potential they are showing now, they are still very immature, let's do the basic exercises first!"
Superintendent Kataoka said calmly.
This year's players, the potential is not bad, but the physical fitness is far behind.
Not to mention compared with the excellent players, even compared with the players of the previous year, they are far behind.
"Yuyuki Kazuya, Zhang Han, and Hakushu and Kurachi. These four people, when they usually do garrison exercises, let them join the ranks of the Second Army. ”
Finally, Superintendent Kataoka added.
"Let them advance to the second army so quickly? Could it be a little too early? ”
Although Minister Ota is very optimistic about this year's freshmen, he has just joined the team for a few days and let people enter the second army, and Ota is not mentally prepared.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing doesn't start until after the spring tournament is over, in May.
"Normal basic training, they're still with the freshmen. It's just that when the garrison is practicing, it enters the ranks of the second army. For the time being, they will not be allowed to play practice games with the second team. ”
Under the sunglasses of Kataoka's supervision, there is a glint of essence.
"Look at their garrison and offensive capabilities, they are particularly outstanding, and it is not impossible to advance to the second army in advance."
The team is in a very bad situation, and there is no one else in the sophomore who is the absolute main force except Yuki and Chris.
The third-year players often laughed at the second-year players as the most useless generation.
But their own situation is not much better.
Kakuei Tanaka, Kiyokuni Higashi, Mayuki Hidezawa.
Except for these three carriages, the strength of the others is only mediocre.
