"This is!"

Pitching record on cardboard, very detailed.

In both practice matches, Matsumoto was the catcher.

Minister Ota was still too kind, and he actually gave all the opportunities to Matsumoto.

It was three pitchers who pitched, one third-grader and two first-graders.

Among the two first-grade pitchers was Asada who was in the same dormitory as Sawamura.

Partnered with three completely different pitchers, the opponent is not very weak.

If a catcher doesn't have a certain level, it's absolutely impossible not to lose points.

Superintendent Kataoka's heart was shocked.

Could it be that when I was in the orientation competition before, because the process of the competition was too short, I neglected something?

If that's the case, then after Yukikazu and their retirement this year, the competition for catchers at Seichi High School will be really interesting.

Not only is there the captain of the national team, a super genius like Mitsushu Okumura, but also an unexpected dark horse like Matsumoto.

Who will win in the end?

It was as if a fog was hanging in front of him, and even Superintendent Kataoka couldn't see the clues.

These thoughts flashed through Kataoka's mind, and he began to carefully study the pitching table in front of him.

After reading the form, the shock to Superintendent Kataoka was still great.

He really underestimated Matsumoto before, and he didn't think Matsumoto had any talent in ball distribution and guidance.

Now, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

This guy has his own set of balls and guidance.

It can be seen that the core concept of his matching ball is to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Use what the pitcher does best, and attack where the hitter is weakest. It looks simple and crude, but it's very effective.

It's no wonder he's going to be hit hard in the orientation.

The Nine Ghosts Yohei himself belongs to the kind of character that does not admit defeat, and the fighting spirit of the whole person is twice that of others.

In this case, Matsumoto then used the ball to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, so that he could go head-to-head with those seniors in the second army.

It's no surprise that the result is like that.

As for Matsumoto's matching, it's not that clever.

Compared to Yui and Okumura, the gap still exists.

Interestingly, his style of matching should have a high degree of tacit understanding with the two pitchers of Qingdao High School.

Especially Akira Valley.

Akira is a pitcher who relies on his own ball speed to crush everything.

With Matsumoto playing the ball for him, it is enough to show most of his strength. It's just that after someone got on base, the situation is more worrying.

The situation is similar with Sawamura Eijun.

If Sawamura's pitching power can be fully channeled, more than ninety-nine percent of the hitters in the country will not be able to touch Sawamura's pitching at all.

From this point of view, the current Matsumoto can already be used as combat power.

Considering that this player has not received too much professional training before, the current growth is completely the result of his own exploration.

After all, Sawamura is only an amateur coach, and compared with the professional, there is also a gap.

In the end, Superintendent Kataoka came to the conclusion that if he could cultivate it well.

Matsumoto still has a lot of potential.

And at this stage, putting Matsumoto in the position of a catcher will definitely not be inferior to Yui and Okumura.

"It's nothing to promote him to the Second Army, how is this guy's striking strength?"

For the time being, the three catchers can be said to be standing on a horizontal line, and they need to be considered comprehensively.

In this comprehensive consideration, the blow is also a very important part.

Minister Ota nodded confidently.

"Two games on the pitch and a total of nine plays. Scored four hits, one with four bad hits. ”

I'll go! So fierce!!

Superintendent Kataoka was a little incredulous.

Although the objects of the three armies' practice competitions are not as good as those of the second army.

But it's not enough to get such dazzling data.

It seems that this Matsumoto is really very set.

"Let's focus on the investigation!"

Now there are four players training together with the first army, and the Kwantung Conference is about to be held, and at this time, the first army will not be able to enter under any circumstances.

It is a very simple matter to promote people to the first army, and for Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff, it is a matter of opening their mouths.

But it's not so easy to kick people out of an army.

Now the most important task of Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai is to re-select the roster of the first army.

"Pick out the most important people first, and those who are absolutely impossible to eliminate. The rest will be picked out of those people! ”

Although this task was not easy at all, it was not difficult for Kataoka to do.

He had done similar work too many times before, and he didn't care about this time or twice.

They had to do it all over again before the summer competition began.

"No. 1, pitcher, of course Eijun Sawamura."

Coach Ochiai has also gradually become familiar with the rhythm of Kataoka's supervision, and soon understood what he meant.

In the remaining days, the candidates will definitely have to be picked out one by one.

Now that we've chosen those who won't be eliminated, the rest of the work is much easier.

"No. 2, Catcher, Kazuya Miyuki."

Although Minister Ota is not smart, he has been messing with Kataoka for so many years.

I also have a clear understanding of Kataoka's overseers' habits.

"No. 4 second baseman, Haruichi Kominato!"

"No. 6 guerrilla, Yoichi Kurachi!"

"No. 9 right fielder Hakushu!"

A few people originally thought that this was a very simple job, but after actually doing it, they realized that the work they were doing now seemed to be not extraordinary at all.

Pick and choose, and the only ones who can really be elected are the five people above.

The rest of the positions are not so secure.

"There is no need to make too big adjustments to the specific lineup, Koshien has just ended a month in the spring, and making large-scale adjustments at this time is tantamount to breaking the Great Wall by ourselves. There is no need to be so strict when choosing people, and it is not necessary to say the specific back number. As long as you feel that the other party has 100% strength to stay in the army, you will propose a name. ”

Superintendent Kataoka saw that this rhythm was not right, and immediately changed the charter.

If this is a back number and a back number are picked up, the ghost knows when it will be a head.

It's too late to think about it, so let's pick out the general lineup first.

Superintendent Kataoka set the tone, and the rest of the matter was relatively simple.

"The rest of the people who must join the First Army, Maezoen, Tojo, Aso, Hitachi, Kanemaru, Akira Tsuki, Kawakami, Takatsu."

Coach Ochiai pinched the mustache on his chin and said with a smile.

Obviously, this candidate has been brewing in his mind for quite some time.

Which players are eligible to join the first army directly?

His mind was clear.
