August is still the hot summer season.

When the national competition of this year's summer and summer competition is about to start, Qingdao High School has finally reorganized its own first-army lineup, including all the players, 29 in the first army, 20 in the second army, and more than a dozen first-year members who have not entered the second army.

"One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four."

"Shout out, you guys, didn't you eat today!?"

Basic physical training, balance training, and reaction training.

Every day as the beginning, as the bottom is always these most basic training items, in the high school student stage, most of the field selection criteria, is to see which player has a stronger defensive ability, then, that player will be selected as the main position, of course, here is talking about the general round, strictly speaking, it is definitely still going to be a player who can play, priority is given, but unfortunately, in the high school student stage, there are not many players who can play, high school students are still in the stage of physical development and growth, It's rare to get that kind of really strong hitter.

Once it appears, then there is a high probability that it will become the beater of a famous team.

The kind of blow that can suppress everything with sheer force.

In high school, this kind of game with a metal bat can inherently cause a devastating blow to most pitchers, and it must be remembered that in many cases, the batter is the dominant side in the face of the pitcher, and the characteristics of the metal bat itself can sanction many pitchers, in this case, if you also encounter a power-based hitter, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Therefore, among high school students, most of the beaters are mainly skillful beaters.

Skills this thing,Unless it's really talented or talented.,For example, Ryosuke Kominato.,Otherwise,The difference won't be very big.,A lot of times,It's still up to you to play on the spot.,Or the player's own sense of the ball.,Then,In daily training,Supervised by each team as the best reference value.,It's also the evaluation standard for general players.,It's from their defensive performance.,Can react in time.,Can hold most of the strong ball.,Players with outstanding defensive ability will naturally have priority to get the opportunity to play, There's nothing wrong with that.

The same is true in a team like Qingdao High School, which is known for its strong fighting, strictly speaking, in the third grade of this year, the pure power beater, only Dong Qingguo is alone, and with his innate wild sense of smell, Dong Qingguo has become the most terrible beater.

And in the same way, in the current Qingdao High School team, the only one who can really be called a power fighter is Masuko Toru, the Qingdao Five Sticks in the original book, and Yuki Tetsuya is really not a power fighter in the traditional sense, but Masuko Toru's comprehension ability in hitting skills does not have much talent, and he can't integrate skillful and strong hits, and he doesn't have the terrifying wild sense of smell and super reaction ability of Dongqing Kingdom and Thunder City.

It has also become the biggest reason for restricting the growth of the increase.

"Huh"

Therefore, in a big team, if you don't have any special talents, don't say that your defensive ability is bad, if it's just average.

Then you should never get a chance to play.

"Smack"

"OK, OK, OK, just like this, be smooth, don't be a step action, or an arm wave, in front of the ball just now, there must not be the slightest stagnation and hesitation, understand!?"

"Yes!!"

"Dada"

"Huh"

"Smack"

"Safe base."

"Are you an idiot? Hold, the runners have started, and you have just reacted? If you do this, the runner will definitely go to the base. ”

"Yes"

"Hurry, hurry, the pass can't stop."

The handling of the outfield tricky high fly ball, the infield strong ball, and the response of the anti-theft base.

The response to different situations must become the instinctive reaction of each player.

"Remember, the body must react before the brain, understand!?"

On the court, the moment when you have to make a judgment in just a second or two, sometimes even a few tenths of a second, really can't let the body fall behind the brain, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to stop those real strong attacks, and some angles are more tricky, or the infield rolls the earth with sudden irregular ejections.

It is also a test of the rhythm of an infielder's handling in emergency moments.

"Yes!!"

"Kawakami!! If you can't, get out of here. ”

"Yes."

"Kawashima, it's your turn next, hurry up!!"

"Yes!!"

The hot training scene, the constant noise of words over the field, and the return to normalcy of the Qingdao High School baseball club are moving forward step by step.

It is also at Seido High School that everyone is aiming to win the autumn competition, and they are constantly forging ahead.

The other side.

In Hyogo Prefecture, Nishinomiya City.

The annual Summer National Contest has also officially kicked off, and the winning teams from all over the country, a total of 49 colleges and universities, gathered here to determine the top of this summer in Hanshin Koshien, a sacred place for all Japanese teenagers, in front of all the audience.

Kiryu High School, Hokkai High School, Hakuryu High School, Yokogaku High School, Hachihiro Technical High School, Teeto High School, Inagi Industrial High School, Haoei High School, Saiho High School, and many other powerful people from various regions who have performed well in the original book have appeared one after another, and the strong city of Nishimiya - Hanshin Koshien Stadium has appeared.

It will be the hottest August of the year.

Embark on the most exciting offensive and defensive battles.

"Buzz-Buzz-Buzz"

Piercing and high-pitched air raid sirens sounded, and the noisy Koshien Stadium was very lively with spectators in the stands.

Capstone battles.

At this moment, it has officially begun!!

———— Dividing Line————

"Inami won the battle smoothly?"

"Well, it's still a big win, and the opponent is the overlord of the Kyushu region, Baoming High School."

"Really?"

"I heard that the ace was not in good shape, and he was broken in two innings, and the substitute pitcher who was replaced in the back barely held up the front, but there was no way to score on the line."

"Eight to zero, Ishikawa and Narimiya's succession have completely sealed Baoming High School."

"Hmph."

Even if I put my heart and soul into training, I have already repositioned my goals.

But I still have to care about the performance of Daocheng Industrial High School in Koshien, which I defeated and others, that is, I hope that Daocheng Industrial High School can be ruthless in Koshien, but I hope that Daocheng Industrial High School can win all the way and win the summer championship directly.

This kind of complex emotion, in Qingdao High School, should be an emotion that most people have.
