Chapter 13: A Chance to Break Through! (Tribute to Tuan Tuan is a cat)

"What's going on?"

Looking at the report, Kataoka's brows furrowed into pimples.

Although for Sawamura, Kataoka's biggest expectation is still in his pitching. But I have to admit that through Sawamura's performance in the First Army during this period of time, his blow also impressed Kataoka.

It's just because pitching is a send-off for Qingdao High School. And the blow can only be counted as the icing on the cake.

For this reason, within Seido High School, Sawamura's cultivation in pitching is far greater than his cultivation in batting.

But I have to say that since Sawamura joined Qingdao High School, the striking strength of Qingdao High School has been significantly improved.

Because of his stable hits, the tandem effect formed is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The kind of batter who can solve the battle with one stick and hit a home run is certainly admirable.

Dan Sawamura, a hitter who has a stable hit and can play in tandem, is even more liked by the coach.

If it weren't for that, Kataoka wouldn't have promoted Sawamura to the fifth position all of a sudden.

And now, Sawamura, who has high hopes, has significantly declined in his striking performance!

This cannot be done without Kataoka's carelessness.

And the most terrifying point is that the coaching staff has not found the key to Sawamura's striking strength and decline.

He is not like Gu Xiao, who is weak to swing his stick in the later stage because of lack of physical strength. If there is a clear gap between Sawamura's previous and subsequent strikes, then the coaching staff has already put the problem down to physical strength.

But it's clearly not that simple.

Using pitching machines and substitute pitchers as training objects, Sawamura went from an 80 percent batting rate to a 50 percent batting average.

The hits and turnovers were evenly distributed, not exhausted.

Puzzled, Kataoka had no choice but to call Sawamura and ask him how he felt?

"Sore!"

Sawamura told the truth.

Combined with the answers given to him by Sawamura, Kataoka brought Chris and Minister Ota again, and the three of them summed it up and finally figured out a rough idea.

Even they themselves could not believe the conclusions they had reached, but that should be the case.

Sawamura shouldn't have a talent for swinging a bat!

Or because of his special physical fitness, he achieved Zecheng's pitching, and also suppressed Zemura's swing in disguise.

Because the joints are too flexible, Sawamura's swing has a natural weakness. If he pushes too hard, he can't aim.

In fact, even if Sawamura aimed, there would naturally be deviations in the process of swinging the stick with all his might.

In the past, Sawamura fixed his striking posture, or directly used a short stick to cheat and hit, all in order to reduce the amplitude of his swing.

To be honest, Sawamura's ability to achieve his current striking achievement is shocking enough!

The effort he has put in is unimaginable to ordinary people.

But the same swing of the stick also limited Sawamura's growth. I'm afraid that even if he plays in the big leagues, it will be difficult for him to swing the baton at a higher level.

"Because of the exhaustion of his body, he can't control his swing accurately!"

"I'm afraid it's not just a swing! Once his stamina reaches its limit, pitching may also be affected. ”

To be honest, this conclusion is something that Kataoka cannot accept in any way.

If you want to say that the simple swing of the stick is affected, that's it.

After Sawamura advances to the professional level in the future, he can designate a hitter as the team's ace pitcher.

That is to say, when he strikes, he can designate a strong strike to help him fight.

Although this approach doesn't work in high school, it doesn't necessarily have to rely on Sawamura's blow with the striking strength of Seido High School!

But once the body falls into exhaustion, Sawamura Eisumun's pitching is affected, and he can't stand it!

If he knew that this summer, he would have planned to use Sawamura as an ace.

The usual game rotation is enough, but the key game may be a back-to-back game or an extra game......

When the time comes to need the trump card to support the scene, it will inevitably appear.

If this Sawamura reaches the limit of his physical strength, there will be a problem.

It's hard to say how far Qingdao High School can go.

"I don't dare to say pitching, but if I just talk about hitting, I have an idea."

Chris's proposal was transferred to Sawamura at that time.

Change your past striking posture and re-practice one.

Lower the center of gravity, that is, squat. It's a bit like a horse step, but it's different.

"In this way, you don't have to move your lower body, you just adjust your arms, it's easier to aim, and you're not afraid to shake when swinging the stick."

When Sawamura received this suggestion, he woke up like a dream.

In fact, Kataoka and Chris thought too much about pitching.

Once his stamina reaches the limit, Sawamura is indeed prone to falling into the quagmire of ball control. After all, his colorful change ball is also easy to be unstable in ball control!

But it's not that when you reach the limit of your physical strength, Sawamura can't fight.

He also has some balls, some balls that are not so demanding on the ball.

But if it hits, Sawamura really didn't expect it.

It shouldn't be said that I didn't expect that in my previous life, some experts raised it to Sawamura.

It's just that the owner, coach, supervisor, and director of the team do not agree.

At that time, Sawamura was already very comprehensive in all aspects, a star baseball pitcher.

The most powerful thing is that he is not only pitching, but also striking, he is also an important tandem force in the team.

At this time, he is not only the main force of the team, but also an important 'commodity'.

His value is not cheap, and the owner spent a lot of money to poach him into the team.

Taking the risk of making Sawamura change his original striking stance is likely to completely abolish Sawamura's striking strength.

From an investor's point of view, it's too uneconomical.

And the agent at the time also advised Sawamura not to take such risks.

As the saying goes, whoever eats is in charge of it.

Sawamura takes other people's salaries, so naturally it is not good to work against others.

And at that time, whether he hit or pitched, he had indeed formed his own system, and it was not necessarily a good thing to change it rashly.

Today's blow, not as good as yesterday, is also expected by Sawamura.

It's just that he didn't expect the coaching staff to make such a suggestion.

Do you want to take risks in your life?

Sawamura hesitated for less than a second, and then made a decision.

Risk!

As a baseball player, I saw the possibility of continuing to improve, so how could Sawamura endure it?

This is also the benefit of students, who have the final say in everything. After entering the profession, it is not so easy to change your style so freely.

Of course, if you are adamant, do it yourself.

No one else has the right to interfere, after all, the body is your own.

It's just that in that case, Sawamura will feel sorry for many people.

And now, he doesn't have to worry.
