Chapter 15: The Main Assessment Begins (1st Update)
It's another day of exhaustion!
Qingdao's little buddy** practiced very badly~
The first two days belonged to the stage of squeezing physical strength. No matter who you are, you won't get used to it quickly in the face of such a simple and rough way of exercising.
Sawamura is relatively better because he is now practicing his new swing.
Originally, the coaching staff just wanted Sawamura to give it a try, and put it on the agenda to see if it worked, but if it didn't work, forget it.
Unexpectedly, after Sawamura adopted the posture of squatting, the striking strength has been significantly improved.
Fifty balls for people, fifty balls for ball bowlers!
He hit more than 70 percent!
Although there are few long hits, the stability of the strikes has improved significantly compared to the morning.
Practice makes sense!
The results of the experiment showed that Chris's suggestion was feasible.
Next, Sawamura's training also changed, although he couldn't swing the stick all the time, but he could practice the squatting posture.
"It's awkward!"
This feeling of squatting is a bit like a zama step, which is very uncomfortable.
Of course, like the horse step, when you squat and stabilize like this, the lower plate of the whole body will also be stabilized.
When Sawamura strikes, he just needs to concentrate on stabilizing his arm.
Originally, because the joints of his whole body were soft, when he swung the stick, his whole body moved. This naturally increases the difficulty of swinging the stick accurately. Your whole body is as soft as a rope, so naturally you can't point where to hit. Now that Sawamura has stabilized his lower body, it is much easier to adjust his upper body alone.
Of course, such a swing also has its weaknesses. Because you stabilize your lower body, you can only rely on the strength of your two arms. Compared to starting from the feet, to the waist, to the arms, the kind of swing with the whole body going all out.
The new swing of the stick is naturally weaker in terms of striking power.
The swing practice is followed by the pitching practice, and the pitching practice is followed by the guarding practice.
While Sawamura was doing garrison practice, Superintendent Kataoka called the three catchers of the current First Army to his office.
"How's the situation with Tsukiya Xiao?"
Facing the three of them, Kataoka asked bluntly.
The first one to ask was Tsuki Tani.
This made Keisuke Miyauchi stunned, he has been cooperating with Tanba to do pitching training, and he really doesn't know much about the current situation of Shibuyani Xiao.
I have the impression that he should still be doing fill-in practice now, right?
Moreover, it is very badly done~
Not qualified to play at all.
There are Sawamura, Tanba, and Kawakami as a substitute in the team......
Originally, Miyauchi didn't think that Xiao Sumiya had a chance to play. Not to mention, compete with Sawamura and Tamba for the trump card.
How do you listen to the meaning of the overseer, it seems that it is possible to send Gu Xiao to play?
Although Kataoka didn't say it directly, everyone still heard what he meant.
"According to your instructions, I haven't let him go into the cowshed to practice throwing in the past two days, so he should be suffocated. However, there has been a very significant improvement in the filling and garrisoning. ”
Chris said pertinently.
If there is any improvement among the pitchers of Qingdao during this time, it is undoubtedly Xiaogu Gu.
Pitchers guard and fill in if the score is counted. Out of 100, Sawamura has at least ninety-eight.
Tamba ninety.
Kawakami eighty-five.
The gap between them is obvious, but in fact, they are already very complete. Like Sawamura, it is extremely difficult for him to take a step further.
During this training camp, his progress was minimal.
This evaluation is polite, and he is actually equivalent to no progress. Tanba and Kawakami have at least improved by a point or two.
Descending Gu Xiao is different, Descending Gu Xiao was originally a big zero egg.
He doesn't know anything about pitching and pitching skills at all.
In the two months of intensive training in Qingdao, he has improved by leaps and bounds, and has grown to 59 points.
Although it hasn't passed yet, in terms of the growth range, the remaining three plus one piece and multiplied by ten are not half as high as Gu Xiao.
On this side, all the members of the coaching staff of Qingdao High School, including Chris, were very surprised.
They have to admit that the man Xiaogu seems to have been born for baseball.
Miyuki to make additions.
"He's at the limit of his fitness and I believe he can start pitching in the cowshed tomorrow."
Miyachi looked at Chris and Miyuki strangely.
The three of them are in the cowshed, and almost all of them are fixed partners by themselves.
Kawakami partners Miyuki, Sawamura partners Chris, and he partners Tanba.
There are occasional swaps, but most of the time, that's the case.
Because of the devil's training, the physical and mental strength of the palace have also been double-tortured, and the rest of his energy is too late to pay attention to the three pitchers, how can he have the leisure to pay attention to other people?
But Yu Xing and Chris, but they can tell the head of the situation of Tsukiya Xiao.
It's incredible!
Shouldn't they be like themselves, just dealing with Tanba, Kawakami, and Sawamura exhausted?
Kataoka listened to the answers of the two, nodded slightly, and continued to ask.
"What about Tamba?"
Ask Tanba, this is naturally the responsibility of the palace.
Yuyuki and Chris are very knowledgeable and did not rob the palace.
"Very good condition! The new change ball is also very smooth. Although Sawamura is going to overtake him in the limelight now, I think the current Tanba still has the strength to compete for the trump card. ”
That's a very high rating!
The Kanto Convention was like a litmus test, clearly showing the gap between Tanba and Sawamura.
Kataoka found it hard to believe that Miyauchi would say that Tanba had already challenged Sawamura's qualifications.
He looked at Chris and Miyuki with a puzzled look.
At this time, Chris and Miyuki are pretending to be deaf and dumb, which is inappropriate. After a deep sigh, Chris was the first to speak.
"In terms of the quality of the pitch, I don't think Tanba has what it takes to challenge Sawamura right now. But every ball he throws shows fighting spirit. I believe that his fighting spirit can also help the team a lot when it comes to the summer competition. ”
I didn't say that the palace was so full!
But the meaning of it is very clear, Chris also admits the current strength of Tamba.
Kataoka nodded.
In the third year, because of the feeling of responsibility, the strength of the player who has improved by leaps and bounds is not without it in high school.
If Tanba can really grow up, it will be beneficial and harmless for himself and for the entire Qingdao High School.
"What about Kawakami?"
With a calculation in mind, Kataoka skipped the topic and asked.
Miyuki nodded.
"Kawakami has also worked very hard during this period of time, and he has shown good pitching. With a sharp change of the ball and good ball control, if the psychological quality can be a little stronger, there is even the possibility of winning the ace. ”
It's called not shocking, it's endless.
Miyuki actually said that Kawakami also has the strength to compete for the trump card, which is really unimaginable.
