Chapter Twenty-Five: The Main Force! (2nd Update)
On the court of the Qingdao High School baseball club.
As the test deepened, everyone's results were also freshly released.
Those who are better at both striking and speed have been promoted.
In the first base position, Maezono surpassed Ken Yamaguchi in scoring and became the main candidate for first base.
In the second base position, although Haruichi Kominato's speed is relatively average, he is the only player other than Sawamura to hit all the balls. Relying on the anti-sky hitting skills, he successfully defeated the senior in the same position in the competition for second basemen.
In the third base position, the battle between Kanemaru and Hitachi was the fiercest. In the end, the two became evenly divided. Superintendent Kataoka hesitated, but gave priority to Hitachi. Of course, this is temporary. The back number has not yet been issued, and when it is actually issued, there may be changes. It mainly depends on who is better in the future performance of the two.
In the position of guerrilla, the position of Uncle Kuramochi is unshakable.
Next outfielder, Hakushu's position is even more stable than Kuramochi, and he was elected and deservedly elected.
Another one who stands out is Aso, and it's no wonder that Coach Ochiai picked him at the beginning, he is indeed very talented.
The last Tojo became the backbone.
Tojo was originally the team's pitcher and performed very well. It's just that, according to the strength of the pitcher, he doesn't seem to have much advantage over Kaneda and Tajima. Not to mention the comparison with the current demon king Sawamura, the monster Akira Gu, and the second-year ace Kawakami.
For him, the coaching staff of Seido High School is also very hesitant, and Tojo has the talent of pitcher, but he may not be able to become a member of the main team. Even if they reached the third grade this year, it would be difficult for Tojo to get into the army.
The reasons are realistic and cruel.
By the time they reach the third grade, they will have to think about developing new people. At that time, the good seedlings who are one or even two terms lower than them will be selected to the first army first. Even if Tojo's strength is relatively high at that time, it can't change this.
"Or just practice and see."
In the end, when they were hesitant, Takashima and Minister Ota meant to let Tojo be trained as a pitcher first and see the results. If it really doesn't work, then tell the guy this cruel reality.
Unexpectedly, Tojo had a big idea of his own, and he actually took the initiative to find the coaching staff and ask to be an outfielder.
"Are you sure? You're still very talented at pitching. ”
Takashima was very hesitant at the time, and persuaded two more words.
"I'm sure!"
Realizing that there was no chance of making a difference as a pitcher, Tojo did not hesitate to choose another way out. If he didn't have enough exposure in high school, it would be difficult for him to advance to the profession.
What can a pitcher who isn't even a substitute do in college?
When it comes to obstacles, people have many options. Tojo's choice was to bypass the past and move on. We don't comment on whether this choice is good or not, just as everyone has their own ambitions and can't force it.
But this matter, for Qingdao, is excellent.
Tojo's speed and striking skills are outstanding, and the only thing he lacks is his defensive skills, but he has the speed of a pitcher, and as long as he hones his catching skills, he should soon come in handy.
And that's exactly what happened, and I trained for half a year. After the retirement of Jun Izaki and the third-year substitute senior, Tojo became the strongest contender for the middle stalwarts.
At this point, the main back of the new session can be regarded as having a plan. In the short term, if there are no accidents, they should all be able to get the back number of the main force.
The remaining catcher and ace are naturally the partners of Miyuki and Sawamura. Not surprisingly, Kawakami is the tenth, and Akira Shibuyani is the eleventh.
This is the main lineup of the new Qingdao Dao.
As for Kawakami's pitching, why is it partnered with Ono?
This test is mainly for Kawakami, and if Miyuki catches the ball, with his knowledge of Akira Shigaya, Sawamura, it is easy to calculate them. In this way, the effect of the test is not obvious.
After Kawakami's pitching was over, Superintendent Kataoka still had the heart to let Sawamura go back to the pitcher's hill, with Akira Shiratani and Miyuki as opponents, relying on the guard to throw once. Then Akira Tsukitani partnered with Miyuki, and Sawamura fought once.
In this way, not only the main lineup is determined, but also everyone's battering times can be determined by the way.
As the saying goes, a mule is a horse, and you will know it when you pull it out and slip it. Everyone has already compared to this extent, and the first arrangement of the line must also follow the results of everyone's attack.
Now that we're going to make the final showdown, let's put aside another practice match that affected the course of the Fall Tournament in the future.
Inagi Industry VS Pharmacist High School.
This practice game was hot from the beginning.
When Inagi attacked, the first and second sticks coordinated perfectly and scored the first point.
After that, the pharmacist was not to be outdone, and Thunder City beautifully hit Cheng Gongming's pitch out to recover a point.
After that, Mishima played super and didn't lose points or hits in the second game.
At the beginning of the second game, Narumu Narumiya entered the Tokyo Prince mode, and was stunned to solve the pharmacist's furious line with a straight ball.
In the third game, Mishima was successfully stolen by Carl Ross after winning a game, and Shirakawa and Carl Rose perfectly coordinated to win the hit. The third batter used a guarantee, and although he was out, he sent White River and Carl Ross to second and third base.
Two out, two people on second and third base.
At this time, it was the turn of the fourth batter to strike.
Mishima was forced by Oka's momentum and threw bad shots in a row.
"Escort to base."
Two outs, full bases.
The blow was the turn of the Prince of Tokyo, Narumiya Naruto.
"That's it!"
For this result, the superintendent in the pharmacist's rest area, Thunder City, didn't seem to be surprised at all, and directly changed Mishima to third base, and then his baby son Thunder City was replaced by Pitcher Hill.
The ball speed is one hundred and four, and the position is uncertain, which is the pitch of Thunder City.
Rao is Cheng Gong Ming, who was also tossed enough, and finally hit the infield rebound ball, was caught, and passed to first base.
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
This time, the failure to score was very significant, and it could even be said to be fatal.
In the second half of the third round, including Thunder City, all the beaters of Yakushi High School were resolved.
In the first half of the fourth inning, Thunder City threw a four-bad, but successfully won three outs.
So far, the line of Daocheng Industrial High School has completed two rounds.
In the bottom half of the fourth inning, except for Mishima, who scored a hit, the rest were all out. Two strikeouts, one high-flying catch.
In the blink of an eye, in the fifth inning, in the face of Thunder City's pitching, Carl Ross once again took out a short play stunt and directly touched the ball to the pitcher's mound, which is the front of Thunder City.
Thunder City made a defensive error, and Carl Ross went to first base.
Carl Ross on first base, ready to steal at any time. The White River in the strike zone is also eager to try.
In the end, Thunder City was in a cold sweat and couldn't throw a shot.
"Finally aware of the horror of Pitcher's Hill?"
This result is not surprising to thunder hide.
If it weren't for the fact that ace Sanada had a foot injury, he wouldn't have dragged Mishima and his stupid son out anyway and made up for it.
"But this practice game is very important, and there is no room for failure. Sanada, let's play! ”
After Carl Ross hit first base, Sanada, the pharmacist's ace, came on.
A real big war, on the verge of breaking out.
