Chapter 11: Mentor Sawamura
"I didn't expect such a player to be specially recruited?"
In the freshman team, Tuoma said in disbelief.
Looking at the performance of other players before, he thought that their freshmen were very good this year, but he didn't expect that there were also players like Chen Ping, and the other party came all the way here.
"You can't say that, maybe the other side is just curious about joining the baseball team."
A freshman next to him said.
This is not entirely uncommon.
There are not many immigrants from the island countries, and there are them from all countries. Many mainland students will join the various clubs of the school because of curiosity.
If it's an ordinary school, this kind of behavior is nothing, but it's a bit of a problem if you enter a wealthy family.
Ordinary schools, anyway, the overall strength of the school is not strong, as long as they can make up enough people, they can more or less get some opportunities.
But the big teams are different, and the big colleges and universities are called professional baseball reserves.
Most of the players here are aiming for professional baseball. They learn baseball here and hone themselves. If you can play the first game, you will naturally enter professional baseball.
If you don't make it to the top in the end, you can also get comments from the comments you have worked hard in the club in the comments of your high school graduation.
Although it doesn't hurt whether it succeeds or not. But in terms of determination, most of the players who have made up their minds to come here to take on the challenge have two brushes.
International students like Chen Ping are usually eliminated after not staying in the team for a few days.
It's not that the team will fire them on their own, it's that they simply can't adapt to the rhythm of high school baseball training.
Especially in this 21st century, where entertainment is developed, everyone is more entertained.
It's completely okay to play games, look, who has nothing to do to train themselves to sweat?
Isn't this a brain disease!
Even the values are different, not to mention the contradictions.
The player next to Tuoma took Chen Ping for granted as this kind of player who joined the team out of curiosity.
"No!"
Okumura groaned for a long time and spat out a single word.
"Did you find anything?"
Tuma looked at his friend strangely.
"He's not throwing the ball right!"
"This person's pitching stance?"
Separated by more than a dozen people, Yujing Xun also discovered this problem.
The handsome Wang Xi resembles Rukawa Kaede in the comics, with a slender and well-proportioned figure.
looked at his half of the countryman, and also frowned.
"Is this guy a tease invited by the monkey?"
It's so weird!
Of course, not everyone is as careful as they are. Most of the people at the scene, including the second and third graders who came to help, didn't notice anything unusual.
"Hey, I told you to vote seriously!"
Sawamura Rongchun, who was taking notes seriously, looked at Chen Ping, who didn't know why, and said.
"I'm serious about it!"
Chen Ping replied ignorantly.
"You're not kidding me?"
"No kidding."
Looking at Chen Ping's serious appearance, Sawamura Rongchun almost thought that he had misunderstood.
"Try it again!"
He didn't talk nonsense, picked up the pen and book in his hand and asked Chen Ping to vote again.
This time Chen Pingtou was more careful, he raised his leg high, and then fell down hard. After shifting his body's center of gravity, he threw the baseball in his hand fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
The momentum is very high, but the distance of the pitch is not very far.
"66 meters!"
This result was not much different from the second time he did.
"Who taught you how to pitch?"
Sawamura scratched his scalp and asked strangely.
"No one taught me!"
Chen Ping replied honestly.
"Then why did you take such a big step just now?"
"I see them do that."
Hearing this answer, Sawamura laughed uncontrollably.
It's really an interesting guy.
"You haven't studied baseball systematically, have you?"
Chen Ping shook his head honestly.
Sawamura put down the pen and paper in his hand, and then stood up.
Hands-on teaching.
"The first thing you have to understand is why are they taking big steps?"
Raising his legs high, Sawamura said as he struck a stance.
"The reason why they take big strides is to increase the amount of time they have the ball in their hands. Theoretically, the farther you stride out, the longer you hold the ball in your hand, and the more momentum the ball has. In this way, the ball can naturally be thrown farther. That's why they've taken great strides. And your situation is very different from theirs, you are a beginner. You don't start swinging your arms until you've finished your stride, which does keep you in possession, but it doesn't make sense for you to stride! ”
Sawamura Balabala's said a lot.
Chen Ping's face was bitter.
Sawamura's speed of speech was so fast, he didn't understand it at all, okay?
Sawamura shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"For the sake of you coming from afar, I'll do a demonstration, look at it!"
He gestured to his feet, then gestured to his hand.
That meant that Chen Ping paid attention to the coordination of his feet and hands.
Now Chen Ping understood, and nodded hurriedly.
Sawamura nodded at him, then pulled out of the stance, throwing the ball.
Under the guidance of Sawamura Rongjun, Chen Ping soon discovered that his movements were different from his own.
It's synchronous!
The moment Sawamura Eisuki stepped forward, his hand also moved. At the same time as he stepped to the ground, the baseball in Sawamura's hand also shot.
These two movements are coherent, and the speed is terrifying.
Chen Ping's actions are completely opposite. He waited until the stride was over before he threw the ball.
On the surface, there is not much difference, but if you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of differences.
Before Sawamura Rongchun pointed him out, Chen Ping really didn't pay attention to it, but after Sawamura Rongchun clicked on him, he suddenly woke up, more than 100 people seemed to have voted like this by Zemura before?
That is, these guys know it!
Turning his head to look at the more than 100 people behind him, Chen Ping suddenly felt shuddered.
He finally has a clear understanding of what a high school tycoon is!
"Try again!"
Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to understand, Sawamura Eijun nodded at him and motioned for him to come again.
This time, Chen Ping's progress has been great.
"Whoosh!"
After the white ball was thrown, it was like a white arrow, and it flew out for more than 80 meters before stopping.
"85 meters!"
"15 points !!"
Except for those guys who were specially recruited, Chen Ping's results are definitely among the best.
Sawamura nodded, then took note of it from his notebook.
Chen Ping: Without any professional training, the distance of the long pass is almost 85 meters. Among the players who were not recruited, they were ranked in the top three.
Potential: S!
Don't underestimate this potential evaluation, the one who got the same evaluation as Chen Ping was among the players who had been recruited before.
Sawamura Eisan only gave to four people.
They are Ao Village, by the well smoked, formed, Wang Xi.
The last one is Chen Ping.
It's just that unlike Chen Ping, who only has potential, several other people can already vaguely show their S-level strength.
The most obvious of these is Wang Xi.
Not only does he have S-rank potential, but he also has good strength now.
The media touted Qingdao High School as the kingdom of pitchers, and now it looks somewhat boastful.
Danimura believes that with the addition of Wang Xi, this name will sooner or later become worthy of its name.
Even after they graduated, the pitcher mound of Qingdao High School didn't have to worry.
"Sawamura-senpai!"
"I've heard for a long time that Senior Sawamura has a good personality in private. See for yourself that it is. ”
"It is said that he coached the baseball team of Akagi Middle School at the beginning."
The junior brother on the side was impressed by the charm of Sawamura Eijun and whispered.
This can make the two former disciples of Sawamura Eijun look stupid.
The boss has a good personality?
So you're not kidding?
Sawamura Eijun's personality is extremely afraid of trouble. He doesn't have that much leisure to train his players.
Unless the responsibility is shared with him, he has always been able to hide from this kind of thing.
There is one exception, though.
That's to see the joy of hunting.
If you see a good seedling, Senior Sawamura Eijun will inevitably take the initiative to come up like a shark that smells fishy.
He seems to have a special penchant for training talented players.
"Let's move on to the next one!"
"Run!"
There aren't many basic tests in baseball, and the two most important ones are running and pitching.
Pitching can show your potential as a pitcher to a certain extent.
For example, if you have a fast ball and accurate ball control, you will definitely have the potential to be a pitcher.
As for the more detailed testing, it is not possible with this kind of basic testing.
The other is running.
As the saying goes, athletics is the mother of sports.
This phrase translates to running, which is the foundation of all sports.
For baseball, being fast is also very advantageous.
When attacking, you can use it to steal bases, and when you are defending, if you are fast, your garrison range is wider than others.
Technique can be honed, and there are some things that are innate.
For example, height and speed.
You can't say that you won't improve these things by exercising, but it's really hard to get better. If you don't have enough talent, it's impossible to reach the pinnacle.
"In teams of five, we do a 100-meter test. The fastest 20 people, one more additional test. ”
For professional running tests, you will generally choose a 30-meter run or a 50-meter run.
The 30-meter run is naturally a test of speed.
The 50-meter run is a test of the speed of successive base steals.
Regular 100-meter runs are rarely used.
But the primary test is not that accurate at all. The main thing is to see who has more potential in everyone's comprehensive quality.
Then wait until the second round to have a detailed garrison test, a strike test, a strength test, and an eyesight test......
The process of selecting regular members is very rigorous.
Chen Ping, who had made a huge oolong before, kept his head drooping.
He wished there was a crack in the ground, so he hurried into it.
The eyes around him were also gloating.
Those newcomers who were originally hit by the special players were grateful to Chen Ping in their hearts.
Wouldn't they be embarrassed if it weren't for him?
In this case, no one expected that the man named Chen Ping would be a blockbuster in the next test.
