The ball speed reached one hundred and sixty kilometers, and according to the mile calculation, it also exceeded a hundred.

Someone who can throw a ball at such a fast pace, regardless of their future achievements? This terrifying ball speed alone was enough to make him go down in history.

Koshien so far, it seems that only one pitcher has ever done it.

In the professional baseball league of the island country, those who can do this can be counted on ten fingers.

Even the highest temple of baseball, in the North American major leagues. There are only a handful of monsters with this kind of ball speed in each era.

From the beginning of Major League Baseball to the present, there is also data available for such pitchers.

Each of them has gone down in history.

Last winter, a reporter who was lurking at Seido High School overheard someone practicing pitching and recording the speed of the ball.

This matter, the people of the Qingdao High School baseball team, have never publicly admitted it. But the media reports have spread wildly.

According to the reporter, the teenager who practiced pitching at that time had reached a terrifying speed of 154 kilometers.

He also heard someone inside excitedly say that if he continued to practice at this pace, the ball speed before high school exceeded 160 kilometers, which was a certainty.

The reporter thought he had dug up big news, but when he interviewed the supervisor of the Seido High School baseball team, Kataoka shook his head like a rattle.

"Nope! Don't talk nonsense!! ”

But the more Kataoka denied it, the more suspicious the reporter became. Compared to the words of Superintendent Kataoka, he was obviously more willing to believe his eyes.

It's just a pity that he didn't see anyone, he just heard someone talking, and he heard the horrible pitching sound.

By the time he came out to look for someone, the person who practiced had already left.

The entire indoor arena was empty.

There were no videos, no names, not even a single picture taken.

It is difficult for such news to be recognized by the public.

But this matter is still in an uproar. Some speculate that it was the three pitchers of the Seido High School baseball team last fall, while others speculated that it was Hidezawa, who had retired.

But to be honest, although their ball speed is not slow, it is clearly a long way to go from the fantastic figure of 160 kilometers.

In the end, those who were willing to believe this report speculated that there must be a hidden trump card in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

It's just that the previous ace was not mature enough to let him appear, and when that ace really honed his pitching, he would definitely be a blockbuster.

As for those who don't want to believe, there are even more reasons to think of them. The Qingdao High School baseball team is nothing more than making something out of nothing, using this fake news to confuse the public.

When it's time for the summer tournament, let their competitors rejoice.

Jinguji is obviously the one who is willing to believe this rumor, but when he asks the seniors around him, the seniors seem to have something unspeakable.

"Well...... this"

"You'll find out later."

There is no admitted, but there is no denial either.

The attitude of the seniors made Jinguji even more confused.

Miyuki was also asked, and he didn't give an answer at the time.

But when he turned his head and touched Zhang Han, he pushed Zhang Han with his arm.

"Legendary someone, do you want to tell us about the cute junior brother in person? After all, no matter what, people are also far away......"

Zhang Han looked down at the middle finger of his left hand, and then put that middle finger in front of Yu Xing.

"You're a super newcomer to Koshien, a well-known star player, isn't it appropriate to do this?"

"You can really thank the current legal society for being alive. Otherwise, with your mouth, you don't know how many times you've been beaten to death. ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!

mentioned that more than two months ago, the legendary pitcher who could throw a ball speed of 154 kilometers, Zhang Han's heart was full of colic.

He never imagined that his ball speed could improve so quickly.

After the fall tournament, as he concentrated on starting to practice pitching, his posture became more and more standard, and he felt more and more smooth.

His ball speed is like a flood that opens the floodgates, and he can't stop it.

In just two months, his ball speed has soared by two notches. By the end of December, his highest ball speed was 154 km.

It was also during that exercise that they were bumped into by the reporter, and then the news was released. Originally, the coaching staff didn't care about this matter, and there was nothing wrong with having such a prominent fast ball star pitcher on the team. Didn't the guy who threw 160 kilometers of ball speed in the past, even if he not be able to become the ace of the team, also brought great benefits to their team?

It's a pity that the reporter only saw the first half, not the second half.

Zhang Han, who threw 154 kilometers, left early because he was injured.

Minister Ota immediately took Zhang Han to the hospital.

Immediately after, Rei Takashima and Kataoka also rushed to the hospital.

"How does it feel?"

"When the middle finger moves, it hurts a little."

At that time, Zhang Han didn't realize how serious the problem was. He also thought that he practiced pitching too often, so he strained his muscles.

Unexpectedly, after the doctor filmed, the answer he gave made everyone's hearts cold.

"Cracked bones!"

Although it is not a fracture, it is also a fairly serious injury.

Especially the finger bones, because of the use of a lot, the recovery is slower.

"Did you come across anything?"

The doctor asks about the cause.

When he listened to the retellings of Superintendent Kataoka and Minister Ota, he turned his head to look at Zhang Han again, and was approved by Zhang Han.

The doctor was furious.

"It's just nonsense! Even if you practice from a young age, using such a fast ball speed can put a huge burden on your fingers. If you are not careful, you are likely to get injured. He's just fifteen years old, he's never done pitching with his left hand before, how can you let him use this kind of ball speed uncontrollably? ”

The doctor's words are a little difficult to understand.

For example, it is like a child practicing splitting, and if he continues to practice, even if he is fifty or sixty years old, he can easily complete a one-word horse.

But you can't wait for someone to be fully mature and then force him to practice a horse.

It's not impossible, it's the probability of injury.

This is the case with Zhang Han.

Kataoka's first honest reprimand, it was at that time that he came up with the idea of finding a professional coach to help.

Kataoka didn't even know about this before. If he knew, Zhang Han would never be allowed to increase his ball speed so quickly.

"Fortunately, it was detected early and the problem was not too serious. If the bone is cracked, no special treatment is required, and the middle finger is rested for about 100 days, and it is almost the same. If you don't pitch, you can practice normally in about 30 days. After recuperating from the injury, don't rush to practice pitching, try to do some finger strengthening exercises first. After the finger muscles and bones are strengthened, they are slowly improving. He is only fifteen years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. ”

This is the advice given by the doctor.

From that time to now, Zhang Han has been cultivating for more than three months, and he has not pitched for more than three months!

The friends around him also take care of him.

It is generally not brought up.

Gradually, this matter is about to become an open but unspeakable secret of the Seongdo High School baseball team.
