"What they experienced, what they learned, what they grew up in Koshien. It will all be reflected in their every move in training. ”

"I hope that in the days to come, you will first see with your eyes and feel with your body the baseball that we are seeking."

Supervisor Kataoka's words, not only the new players listened to the enthusiasm, but the old players also felt like they had been beaten one by one.

Coach Ochiai looked at Kataoka with emotion, and admired it in his heart.

While Supervisor Kataoka encouraged the new players, he also stimulated the old players.

It is really worthy of teaching languages, and inciting emotions is even more terrible than a pyramid scheme.

Sometimes Coach Ochiai also thinks that if Supervisor Kataoka doesn't supervise properly, he should be a good hand at starting a pyramid scheme.

"The new players gather on Court B, and the Year 23 players gather on Court A. We immediately began to practice free strikes and garrison drills. All the players are divided into two teams, alternating between attacking and defending. ”

The freshmen quickly entered regular training and were not allowed to continue running.

On the surface, they were starting to touch the ball again after a long absence.

The people around were happy.

Takuma looked at his elated companions and smiled bitterly.

"They're so innocent!"

It is said that the players of baseball are a group of monsters with developed limbs and simple minds, and from this point of view, these guys around them are really good.

Didn't they find out? Has the second round of testing begun?

"Come on, Asada, Wang Xi!"

Sawamura and Kuramochi smiled and cheered for the two elementary school brothers in their dormitory, playing the role of seniors who care for the elementary school brothers very well.

"Senior Sawamura is very kind!"

One of the elementary school students said with emotion.

"I really envy the two of them for being able to share a dormitory with my idol."

"I'd love to share a dormitory with Sawamura-senpai."

Hearing their whispers, Hirota and Matsumoto looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Another group of guys who have been deceived by the gentle appearance of the boss!"

"Forget it, when they really see the boss on the court, they probably won't think like that......"

A group of newcomers made their way to Court B, and the keen players already knew that the next step was not so much practice as their second round of testing.

Test your speed and pitching!

The next thing that needs to be tested is naturally the strike and the defense.

Didn't you see that Superintendent Kataoka didn't care about the old students, but came here directly?

Sawamura happily followed Kuramochi to the old student team.

Because of the injury to recuperate, he hasn't touched the ball for a long time, and this time he can't be a pitcher.

At the very least, he has to be involved in guarding and attacking.

I can finally touch a baseball and a bat for the first time in a long time.

Otherwise, if he continued to rest like this, Sawamura Eijun felt that his body was about to rust.

"Where are you going?"

Just as Sawamura Eisuki was happily preparing to leave, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

Sawamura turned his head and looked at Superintendent Kataoka incredulously, and replied very honestly.

"Go practice!"

"Who allowed you to practice at this time, if nothing happens, come with me to see the freshman practice."

I......

At this moment, Sawamura Eijun really wanted to scold the dirty words.

He didn't understand, what was the purpose of Superintendent Kataoka pulling him here?

"Miyuki is four months away from the team, so you need to try to adapt in advance in the next period of time."

Rei Takashima explained patiently.

"But I don't want to be the captain! I don't want to start preparing to take over the captain's class now. ”

Takashima spread her hands very helplessly, saying that she couldn't help either.

Whether Sawamura Eijun is willing or not.

After the third-year seniors retired, Sawamura Eijun could only become the new captain of Seido High School, and the others had no way to serve the public at all.

And this year's freshmen are really arrogant, and after discussing with the coaching staff, they decided to suppress their limelight.

After all, jade can't be cut into a tool.

By the time Sawamura arrived, the freshmen had already divided into teams.

More than 60 people were divided into two teams, one team of 30 people.

Nine men were in charge of the garrison and one in charge of the offense.

"There is no limit to the range of pitching, and it is a serious duel. Let's see who's better! ”

Four teams take turns playing.

"The remaining two teams, come with me to the strike field!"

The number of new students is too much, and even with the luxury of the Seido High School baseball team, the training is overstretched.

In order to save time, they had to train in batches.

Then the assistant coach took out a notebook and deliberately named more than a dozen people.

These are all things that have been very good in all aspects of training before, and they will be taken care of.

It also means asking Kataoka to oversee the inspection.

"Let's get started!"

With the order of Superintendent Kataoka, the entire squash court began to rotate like a huge machine.

The batting test tests the pitching of a ball bowler.

Basically, nothing has changed, it's all straight, and the position is generally not too far from the center.

This kind of test seems simple, but it tests the basic skills of the contestants the most.

Being able to hit the ball to the infield counts as one point, the outfield counts as two points, and the home run is intended to be three points.

The number of balls tested ranged from 125, 130, 135, 140, 145 to 150.

For each ball speed, three balls will fly over, and one of them will be chosen to play.

Theoretically, you can score 18 points out of a perfect score.

Of course, the real situation is impossible. As long as someone can score more than 10 points, it means that his striking strength and ball sense are already very good.

The second is the guarding test, where a player's full score is 10.

Two points will be deducted for defensive mistakes at a time!

On average, each person will be guarded five or six times.

Of course, this is only a superficial scoring criterion. How did the players really perform? Look another way......

The score of the ordinary guard and the wonderful guard is the same, but the impression left on the coach will definitely be different.

When it came to these professional tests, the strength of the freshmen of the baseball club of Qingdao High School was immediately displayed.

Most of them have done relevant exercises in the youth club. I quickly mastered the tricks of practicing, and although it was not easy to get a high score, I could basically see the results.

"Ping!"

A small white ball was hit directly into the home run wall.

It was the first home run of a freshman.

The one who scored this home run was a general!

When he tested the 125-kilometer ball, he swung the bat with all his strength and hit a home run cleanly.

That terrifying momentum is terrifying just by looking at it.

"He's the younger brother of Yuuki, and his striking strength is very good, and he is the fourth in the former national score."

Minister Ota, who was on the side, hurriedly made an introduction.

Superintendent Kataoka nodded.

That's great!

Just listening to the sound of that swinging the bat, one can feel that his swinging is extraordinary.

That's definitely not something that can be achieved by talent alone.

"Focus on it!"

Without looking at Yuuki's garrison, Superintendent Kataoka made a quick decision and put him on the list of things to focus on.

After six tests, forming a general division is like opening a hanging, and none of them are missed.

Of course, this is not the level of talent that can be achieved, and he has done a lot of similar exercises in the youth league to develop his ball sense.

The answers were also very pleasantly surprised, with one infield hit, three outfield hits, and two home runs.

According to the scores assessed, two home runs hit six points, three outfield hits six points, and one infield hits one point.

14 points in total.

The maximum number of players tested before did not exceed 10 points.

The difference in strength between the two sides has reached an extremely surprising level.

"Even if you recruit the nine main forces of the current first army of Qingdao High School, I am afraid that there are not many who can surpass the formation in terms of score."

Ota said excitedly.

Kataoka next to him was originally very happy, but when he heard this, his whole face immediately turned bad.

That's the biggest problem at Seido High School and right now.

Now the main force of the first army, such a practice, all six balls can be played, and almost everyone can do it.

Even if the straight ball in the center is a little faster, it is nothing for players like Seido High School who swing the baton nearly 1,000 times a day.

Not to mention that the machine pitching itself is rigid, and the timing is very well judged.

But getting so many high scores, it's not something they can do.

What is the reason? the less capable of long fights.

You let them hit the ball into the outfield, and that's fine.

It's a little embarrassing for you to let them take a home run and hit the ball that far.

The reason why Yuki is eye-catching is because he won a high score that even the main players of Seido High School may not be able to get.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to become the combat force of New Qingdao High School.

Immediately afterwards, the more eye-catching performance was by the well smoke.

Don't look at the young man's small size, but not small, the yo-ball has four balls to the outfield, and one ball to the face infield.

There was also a ball that flew straight out of the pitch.

This guy actually relied on his not tall body to knock out a home run.

12 points in total!

Compared to Yuki, it's a little inferior. But compared to the others in the previous test, it was not a star and a half.

"This guy's name is also recorded!"

Kataoka was very excited to see it!

He saw more possibilities from Yui Fumi's body.

Of course, there is another important reason.

It is because of the location of the well smoked.

This guy's position is so fantastic, he turned out to be a catcher.

You know, the two current catchers of Seido High School, Miyuki and Ono.

Both of them are third-year players, which means that they will be retiring in four months.

From the perspective of cultivating newcomers, the current Qingdao High School urgently needs to transfer a catcher to the first army for training.

In this way, after the third-year players retire, they can be replaced.

In fact.

Pharmacist and Inagi will inevitably transfer a pitcher to the first army this year.

It is also for the same reason.
