After the end of the Red and White War.

The candidates for the first army of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are set at seventeen people, and the vacant places, Kataoka Supervisor obviously plans for the next two months of training, and the time for the summer main draw is generally the end of June, so as long as the list of twenty people in the first army is set before the draw.

And these three places are also the goals that those players in the second army are aiming for, and even Kuramochi, Hakushu, and Kawakami, who have just been selected into the second army, are a little ready to move, after all, there are still two months to go, right? As long as he can show a satisfactory performance in these two months, whether it is training or practice matches, then the probability of being selected for the first army will be much greater.

Started in the month of entering May.

The players in the second army began to compete.

Blocking the last two months of struggle, the remaining three places, no one is willing to let out, at least for those seniors, especially the third-year seniors, this summer is their last chance, once they can't be selected, it means that their high school career is over, and their summer has ended before the summer competition starts.

So, no matter what you say, they won't give up this only three places!!

Seido High School, Seishin-ri, Kataoka Superintendent's Office.

"Supervisor, this is the practice schedule for the next few days."

Rei Takashima handed the list of training matches he had agreed on earlier to Superintendent Kataoka.

Superintendent Kataoka glanced at the schools on the list, bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Let's follow this order, cancel the originally planned expedition, and in addition, in the daily training, strengthen the training on the guard, especially the cooperation between the pitcher formation and the catcher, this point, explain to Chris, let him lead the pitcher formation." ”

"Yes, Overseer."

Takashima replied softly with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"So, what about the start schedule for these four games over the weekend?"

"All these four games will be arranged for the second army to participate, and the first army will be arranged for next week's game."

Superintendent Kataoka crossed his hands on his chin and said in a deep voice.

"I understand, I'll arrange it right away."

Takashima nodded slightly.

"Another thing is 。。。。。。"

May is coming.

The scent of summer is quietly coming.

For the upcoming summer season, not only the players are preparing for the competition, but also the Big Three of the coaching staff will be preparing hard in the two months leading up to the tournament.

Especially for Inspector Kataoka.

Pressure, responsibility.

All kinds of emotions are mixed in the depths of his heart.

Summer Contest every year.

It is a test, but also an opportunity.

This year, Seido High School can already see the shadow of the national competition stage, and in any case, this summer, all the staff of Seido High School, including Superintendent Kataoka, are bound to take it down.

Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

For the players of the Seido High School baseball club who are preparing for the summer tournament, this time flies.

Minister Ota and Rei Takashima, who are in full swing.

In the course of these two months.

For Qingdao High School, we have invited many college teams suitable for each other, of course, this is entirely because the inviting party is Qingdao High School, in the past few years, Qingdao High School's results are certainly a little unsatisfactory, but it can be used as a strong man in the West Tokyo platoon.

A preview of this summer competition.

There are still many strong teams willing to play practice matches with Seido High School.

Especially those teams from different regions.

It can not only play a role in exercising and running in your own team, but also ensure that the information and intelligence of your team will not be exposed to other powerful people in the same region.

Generally speaking.

A month or two before the summer tournament approaches, the battle between the teams in the same region has already started in advance, don't underestimate the baseball game of Japanese high school students, the team that can really achieve regional hegemony, and even national domination, to say a little polite.

The professionalism and specialization of these will never lose too much to the professional team.

Especially in the intelligence war, in the original book, before the summer tournament, the opponents of the practice matches invited by Seido High School were almost all teams outside of Nishitokyo, even if there was a three-school exchange match, Seido High School and Inagi Industrial were also sent as substitute pitchers.

That's it.

Because, before the summer race.

It's stupid to reveal too much information to an opponent who may become a strong enemy (so in the original book, Tsundere Ming threw a speedball and was unceremoniously replaced by the Guoyou Superintendent. ）

The eastern Tokyo area and other prefectures and cities in the Kanto region were all invited by Minister Ota and Vice Minister Takashima Rei, and according to the different strength of the team, Inspector Kataoka also arranged for the first army and the second army to fight, using training matches to adjust the current lineup of the first army, and using training matches to select the remaining three places for the first army from the second army, everything was carried out in such an orderly manner.

Also as a player in the first army.

Both Shigeno Shin and Miyuki were given a chance to play.

As the only two first-year freshmen in the team, Superintendent Kataoka also has high hopes for Shigerino Shin and Miyukiichi, and Shigerno Shin naturally does not need to talk about it, the three pitchers currently in the team each have their own problems, compared to Inoue and Tanba's own mentality.

Shigeruno's problem is that he's too young and jerky.

He lacks experience in the game.

The delicacy in the game is somewhat inferior to the previous two predecessors.

This is also the reason why in the recent practice matches, Shigerno Shin has played more games than Tanba and is equal to Inoue, in addition to the extraordinary attention of Kataoka Supervisor.

It's also because Shin Shigerino needs these tournament experiences to sharpen himself.

In addition, the run-in with other seniors in the team also needs to compete to cultivate such a tacit understanding and accumulate more game experience.

No matter which famous college you are in, the so-called pitcher does not mean that you can simply throw your own ball, and cooperate with the team as a whole, especially with the infielders.

It's even more important.

On the other side, Miyuki Kazuya, who was selected into the army as a catcher.

Although there are a lot of opportunities to appear, there are a lot fewer opportunities to appear as a catcher, and Miyuki is a genius and a talented catcher.

Superintendent Kataoka recognizes this, however, unlike the pitcher position, the thickness required for a catcher is far greater than that of other guard positions.

Chris seniors aside.

Even if you compare the predecessors of the palace with the royal luck.

In terms of the choice of the first mover, Superintendent Kataoka will not hesitate to choose Keisuke Miyauchi instead of Miyuki Kazuya.

So.

During the two months of May and June, there are a lot of practice events.

In addition to appearing as a catcher in some games, Miyuki appears more often as a left fielder, and his super arm strength is perfect as an outfielder.

And in the recent practice session.

When the base is on the base, especially when there are people in the scoring circle.

Miyuki's unusually high strike rate.

It made Superintendent Kataoka firm up a certain thought in his heart.
