Chapter 46: The Quota of the First Army
Everyone is very clear about the significance of Seido High School's choice to hold the test at this time.
After returning from Koshien, the remaining two places in the first army of Seido High School have not been replenished.
It's as if Superintendent Kataoka really forgot about it.
This is of course impossible.
The only plausible explanation is that Kataoka is waiting for this class of freshmen to grow up.
The wait is not pointless, or should it be very meaningful.
The more outstanding freshmen began to emerge one after another.
There are more than a dozen outstanding players who can name them alone.
But even among these dozen or so, there are some people whose light is still dazzling.
For example, the current Yuki Shoji.
All the attention of the audience was almost focused on this man.
At this moment, he seems to have become the center of the whole world.
A home run was scored in the first test, followed by an outfield long run in a serious duel.
The strength is simply appalling.
"That's amazing!"
At this moment, Tojo was completely dead.
It was unrealistic to want to be a pitcher on the team at Seido High School.
However, he still won't give up on his dream of becoming a pitcher, and if he can't do it in high school, he would just have pinned his hopes on college.
He can't go to college, and it's the same as the current Qingdao High School, where there are so many pitcher monsters.
The players who were tested next were not as strong as Yuki Shoji.
Even though they all touched the ball, the ball that came out was either limp or went straight to the high fly.
Serious and Tojo duel, whether it is Kagami or Okumura and Takoma.
It's all solved very cleanly.
It was also until this moment that several newcomers really realized what high school baseball was.
Their strength is still a little immature.
Of course, there are players who have performed well.
For example, the former captain of the national team, the main catcher Yui Fumi.
He's doing really well.
After some observation, I chose a sweeter ball and hit it out.
The baseball flew into the outfield with precision!
"It's a shame that he can hit the ball so far with that body!"
For Yui's excellent performance, Coach Ochiai was also surprised.
Very bluntly.
"Not to mention the strength of being a catcher, just with this blow, you can indeed get a place to play."
Sometimes I have to sigh that the previous years were indeed a dark period for Qingdao High School. Almost none of the players recruited are the top.
Like these freshmen now, that is, they can come out so quickly in Qingdao High School.
In other words, put them in Daocheng Industry or the third high school of the city university.
I'm afraid it's hard to show the strength to threaten an army so quickly.
In addition to the two of them, another one with outstanding performance is Wang Xi.
The world champion's ace pitcher and main four-man has been as good as ever.
Again a clean home run.
Of course, there are tricks in this.
Yu Xing looked at Wang Xi incredulously, and whispered to Sawamura Rongjun.
"This guy just guessed the ball!"
Sawamura nodded in affirmation.
Wang Xi was able to win a home run, not because he was better at swinging the bat.
It's because he saw through the game game.
"Looks like we've got a great guy on the team."
Wang Xi's understanding of baseball is definitely not under Yu Yuichiya.
Combined with the strength he showed before......
It's a bit of a waste to keep such players in the freshman ranks.
There are three newcomers who have shown themselves to be outstanding, and all three of them are full of surprises.
However, there are only two places to advance to the first army.
Even if they wanted to challenge the other 18 seniors, they didn't have a chance, because the school had already reported the names of those 18 before the spring competition.
Now you can't take their names down.
This is absolutely impossible.
According to the performance just now, the ones who should be promoted the most are of course Yuki Shoji and Wang Xi.
But from the perspective of the team's needs, it doesn't make sense to promote Wang Xi at this time.
The team already has ace pitcher Eijun Sawamura, the main substitute Akira Tani, and the relay pitcher Kawakami.
For the time being, there is really no need to increase the number of pitchers.
Wang Xi's striking strength is certainly amazing, but there seems to be no reason to promote him just for the sake of blowing.
Again, although he scored two home runs, his performance in hitting was better than that of Yuuki Shoji.
However, Coach Ochiai and Superintendent Kataoka are more optimistic about forming a shoji.
Wang Xi is a player with a high degree of completion, although he has shown very bright strength, but he can vaguely see where his limits are.
There is no problem in becoming the core of the team in the future. But it doesn't seem necessary yet.
Instead, he formed a general, and without hitting the center of the ball, he relied on brute force to forcibly sweep the ball away.
Such an outstanding performance successfully attracted the attention of Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai.
As long as he is adjusted a little, he will inevitably have a reborn progress.
Of course, there is also an emotional factor in this.
It's just that no one will admit it.
This natural goodwill is something that even Director Kataoka and Coach Ochiai themselves can't feel.
They just think it's better to form a general.
From the perspective of position, the most important thing that Qingdao High School should promote now is of course the catcher.
Although by the performance of the well smoke, it looks a little inferior.
But there is no way, the current Qingdao High School is really lacking in catchers!
After Miyukikazu and them retire, Seido High School will fall into the legendary catcher panic.
Plan ahead, and at this time you must also promote a catcher.
Screening it like this, the three seem to have their own pros and cons.
According to the consistent style of Qingdao High School before, of course, it is necessary to promote the one with the best grades.
However, considering the actual situation of the team, it seems more appropriate to choose to form a shoji and Yui at this time.
Caught in a dilemma, Superintendent Kataoka fell into a tangled mood.
In the end, he hesitated and asked the players to play an extra match.
Since it is difficult to weigh, it is better to speak with strength.
The catcher has changed again, and this time it is Miyuki Kazuya.
"Mom, that's cruel."
Kuramochi Yoichi said gloatingly.
Before, they were compared to these freshmen and had no place to stand.
The freshmen have one count, and almost all of them have a good ability to play long.
In contrast, on the contrary, it is these old students, whose long-term fighting ability is really vulnerable.
It's okay to let them hit the ball out and get hits, but it's really hard for some strongmen to get them straight to a home run.
Now seeing that these freshmen elementary school students are about to be unlucky, Cangzhi smiled very maliciously.
Feng Shui takes turns, and it's time for these freshmen to experience what it means to be high and thick!
He has absolute confidence in Miyuki's matching.
Tojo's own strength is not bad, plus the cooperation of Miyukikazuya.
You can guess the outcome of the game.
In fact, the results weren't much worse.
All three were dealt with, and although two of them touched the ball, one hit the infield and the other played the outfield and flew high.
They're all settled.
It is Yui smoke who hits the Uchino rolling earth!
He was clearly fooled, and the rhythm of his swing was disrupted.
On the contrary, it is Yuki Shoji, who has been implementing his own striking style.
Swept the ball away cleanly.
The small white balls fly high and form a high flying ball.
However, the momentum of the blow was really unusual, and the ball felt as if it was about to fly out.
Wang Xi was the last to play.
was directly tricked.
He tried to guess Miyuki's matching, but was calculated by Miyukiichi.
Directly tricked him into swinging the stick twice with two bad balls, and finally was knocked out by strikeouts.
"Speed Ball!"
Wang Xi looked at Tojo on the pitcher's mound with some incredulity.
He had never thought that this senior would even change the speed ball!
"Hee-hee, if we partner up, we might be a good partner!"
Miyuki said with a smile.
Wang Xi thought of it with him just now, so he was able to successfully trick Wang Xi.
"Guess the ball accurately!"
Although Wang Xi was knocked out by strikeouts, his performance really made Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai shine.
If such a person is not cultivated well, it will be a tyrannical thing.
After all the freshman tests are completed, the first round of finalists has been determined.
The two spots that were not originally replenished were both replenished after this game.
The two people who were promoted to the first army were Wang Xi and the general.
There is no other reason why they were able to advance so quickly, it was because they had reached the strength.
Eventually, Seido High School stuck to its traditions.
Of course, they also gave special attention to another newcomer who did well.
After all, Qingdao High School really needs to train a catcher right away.
So they immediately transferred Yu Jing Xun to the Second Army!
Let him start playing practice games with the second army and other teams, and hone his skills through actual combat.
For this reason, Kataoka Supervisor and Coach Ochiai also specially called Yui Xun to talk.
"In the first army for the time being, there is no chance for you to play. Stay in the Second Army for the first time and get a good training. ”
"Yes!"
didn't be able to directly promote to the army, which made Yujing somewhat disappointed.
But he also knows that there is no way to do it, who makes him inferior to others.
There are also benefits to staying in the Second Army.
That's when he can finally start playing.
In addition to the three of them, the other freshmen had to practice step by step.
Waiting for the next chance to advance.
That opportunity is already on the horizon.
After the spring competition, the orientation of Qingdao High School.
It was their last chance before the summer tournament.
Only those who can advance to the second team in that opportunity will be eligible to compete for a place in the summer tournament.
