Chapter 16: Evaluation of Sawamura (Part 2)
"Tell me about it!"
Superintendent Kataoka, obviously very interested in this topic, motioned for Miyuki to continue.
Next to Chris looked thoughtful.
Keisuke Miyauchi was a little incredulous.
Can Kenshi Kawakami even compete for the trump card?
Even if it's a joke or nonsense, you have to have a limit.
It's not that Keisuke Miyauchi doesn't recognize Kawakami's strength. On the contrary, because he took the ball from Kawakami, he recognized Kawakami's strength very much, and even thought that Kawakami could be an ace if he was in an ordinary team.
But it's a pity that Qingdao High School is not an ordinary team, he is a national giant!
If the team is really short of pitchers, it is not impossible for Kawakami to be reluctant to be in the ace position.
There is no general in Shu, is Liao Hua a pioneer?
But Qingdao's current situation is not without ace pitchers, on the contrary, Qingdao High School is now two people competing for the trump card.
Koichiro Tanba and Eisan Sawamura.
In either way, these two are more suitable for the trump card than Kawakami.
Especially Sawamura!
Kawakami's characteristics are not lacking in Sawamura, and they are even better than Kawakami.
In such a situation, what do you let Kawakami use to compete for the trump card?
"At the previous Kanto Conference, I think everyone has a deep understanding of it. Ace pitchers don't necessarily have to pitch sharply. Precise ball control combined with nimble ball changes is a very powerful weapon in itself. Combined with the team's defensive strength, it is also possible to control the loss of points within a certain range. I don't think there's anything wrong with having Kawakami as the trump card. He's even better than the pitchers we met at the Kanto Convention, and he's a side pitcher. Take advantage of this, and I believe that he will also be able to exert a very strong combat power. ”
Keisuke Miyauchi looked at Miyuki in surprise.
I don't understand why Yuyuki wants to be reasonable? According to him, any pitcher with characteristics can be the trump card, right?
But at the end of the day, don't you still need to compare?
In contrast, Kawakami has only a disadvantage among the three pitchers, not an advantage, right?
Seeing the palace with a confused face, Chris sighed secretly.
Although the palace itself already has very good strength, the blow is also excellent, and the ability to catch the ball and contain the catcher is even more useless.
But in the competition with Miyuki Kazuya, Keisuke Miyauchi has always been at a disadvantage, and it's not for nothing.
He's stupid!
As a fellow player, Chris didn't want to be so harsh about his teammates. But to be honest, the palace is indeed stupid.
He didn't even know what the examiner was going to test, so he answered the questions here.
Of the three pitchers on the team, who is more suitable to be the ace? Does Superintendent Kataoka need to consult with them?
The answer, of course, is no, and who knows better than Kataoka about the three pitchers on the team.
He looked forward to the stars and the moon all day long, how many years did he look forward to getting such a good team?
For the choice of trump card, will he not count in his own heart?
So it's not a pitcher question at all.
Although Kataoka asks all the questions about pitchers, what he really wants to ask is about catchers.
When your partner is Tanba, Kawakami or Sawamura, how do you match them?
Originally, the answer in the palace was in the middle distance, which is not a plus, but it will not be a subtraction.
But his current expression completely betrayed all the thoughts in his heart.
The original mid-distance answer may have also become a minus.
Simply talking about the main battle between the palace and Miyuki, he is almost out.
Miyuki was originally the main catcher in the team, and Miyauchi could only get the main position if he performed better than Miyuki.
Now he doesn't want to say that he is better than Miyuki, and he also took the initiative to reduce points......
Kataoka didn't say anything, and after listening to Miyuki's words, he nodded and continued to ask.
"Where's Sawamura?"
Hearing this question, even though Kataoka had expected to ask, Miyuki and Chris were still shocked.
They know that the real test has begun.
Despite the ownership of the number one, there is still a debate in the coaching staff. Dansawa's trump card position has been determined.
At the Kanto Conference, Sawamura used his performance to earn this position for himself.
In the first army, whether it is a third-year player, a second-year player, or even two first-year players.
For Sawamura to become a trump card, it is all recognized.
Even Gu Xiao may not be convinced verbally. He must also know in his heart that with the gap between him and Sawamura now, it is impossible for him to replace Sawamura as the trump card.
After all, pitchers don't just look at pitching.
Even if she is confident in her pitching, she will not be so impatient that she thinks that she will perform better than Sawamura if she stands on the pitcher's mound.
It has nothing to do with personality.
It's like taking an exam, every time someone takes a 100 exam, you fail every time. Even if you don't think your IQ is lower than the other person, you have to admit that the other person is definitely doing better than you in school.
Asking about the evaluation of Sawamura is the key to this assessment.
Chris was the first to speak.
"Very nice! I think now Sawamura can be the ace in our team. ”
This is the conclusion.
This conclusion was obviously agreed by Kataoka as well, and he nodded for Chris to continue.
"The ball speed is 138 kilometers, and the ball control can divide the good ball belt into four equal parts. In the four equal parts, it can also be divided into high and low inner and outer parts. Plus good ball power, unique pitching posture. Jean Sawamura's straight ball is very sharp! I think it should be based on straight balls, supplemented by variation balls. I believe he can go to the next level. And it's not just the pitching, he's hitting well. He was very comfortable with his new striking stance, and now for him, he just needs to concentrate on improving his strength. ”
After Chris finished speaking, Kataoka nodded expressionlessly, and then set his eyes on Miyuki.
Miyuki smiled bitterly.
Now that Chris has said everything that needs to be said, what else can he say?
For Sawamura, it would be ideal to focus on straight balls.
His straight ball is a very sharp weapon in itself, and the most important thing is that the straight ball is stable.
Don't underestimate this word, in the pitcher's mound, steady is sometimes much more useful than sharp.
"Sawamura's character and experience are also very good weapons. Not everyone has the experience of winning the national championship. I believe that the experience of Ezawa Village will inevitably bring different changes to our team. ”
Chris and Miyuki, one of them talks about ball skills, and the other talks about experience.
In a word, in the current Qingdao High School, the most suitable person to be the trump card is Sawamura Eijun!
"What do you think?"
Kataoka didn't speak after listening to the analysis of the two, and turned his head to look at the palace.
Miyauchi nodded.
