challenge

Under the watchful eyes of a group of teammates, Yuki Takami and Konishi Torotaro still completed the warm-up jog. The two of them then help each other to do some activities that stretch the joints and muscles.

"I didn't expect that after entering the professional team, the basic pace of warm-up activities was no different from when I was in high school." Yuki Takami has just asked his senior, Torotaro Konishi, about his experience in warm-up activities for professional teams.

"Because it's all basic common sense." Konishi Torotaro moved his waist and abdomen, "These common senses have already been imperceptibly imperceptibly embedded in the blood of the players through the baseball training in high school." ”

"Uh-huh! In other words, the quality of basic baseball training in Japanese high schools is still very high......"

"Oh yes, oh yes, Takami rookie, you're a professional baseball player now, hurry up and throw the high school in your head!"

"The seniors are now the fourth catcher, and it turns out that they have already thrown away their high school days?"

Konishi Torotaro was speechless for a while, this bastard rookie didn't open which pot to mention, and he poked my pain point impartially. It takes a short time to prepare for the activity and is completed much faster than the jogging done earlier. But then came the problem, as the rest of the team-mates also gathered on the training ground for socializing, and Yuki Takami and Konishi Torotaro needed to clear the field if they wanted to practice directly on the training ground – an almost impossible task.

As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he also opens a window – but it's all professionals, and there's no one standing in the middle of nowhere to talk in the pitcher's barn.

So it's no problem to do pitching practice in the cowshed, which is a matter of walking a few extra steps.

With the assistance of Yuki Takami, Konishi Torotaro quickly put on the catcher equipment.

Yuki Takami picked up the catcher mask and handed it over, "We should learn from America and equip them with an integrated catcher's helmet that MLB also wears in the style of an ice hockey goalie." ”

Konishi Torotaro took the mask, "The stubbornness of traditional forces cannot be easily eliminated with words. Konishi Tomotaro just held the mask in his hand and said something American-humorous, "Maybe it's because the NPB officials are worried that our catchers will be more prone to heat stroke in the summer if they wear that beautiful helmet." ”

Konishi Torotaro waved his hand and walked towards the catcher position in the cowshed. Yuki Takami then put on his gloves and stepped up to the pitcher's position.

Konishi Torataro put on a mask with one hand, squatted down and opened his gloves to Yuki Takami, "First of all, maintain control of the ball and throw a few balls easily." ”

"Okay!"

Yuki Takami moved his spikes, brought up a little bit of dust, and waved his hand easily......

"Bang!" The baseball fell into the catcher's glove impartially, and the entire process of Konishi Torataro completing the catch did not move the glove in the slightest.

"Takami rookie, this is the ball you threw easily?" Torotaro Konishi waved the ball back to Yuki Takami.

"Yes, only five points of force."

Konishi Torotaro: "Oh! I didn't know what my expression was because I was wearing a mask.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Time and time again, the baseball landed steadily in the catcher's glove.

The pros are sensitive to the sound of the catcher's glove, so others have already set their sights on the cowshed.

"The one who pitched now is the strongest pitcher in Koshien last year, right?" It was the triple crown winner Guerrero who spoke, in fact, he had met Yuki Takami at yesterday's newcomer meeting.

"Yes, that's right!" The talker was pitcher Yuta Mahara, who had been teammates with Guerrero on other teams, and the veteran Yuta Mahara transferred to the Orange Rabbits two years before Guerrero.

"This strongest newcomer seems to be used to going his own way." The strongest pitcher in Koshien immediately became the strongest newcomer, so he can say whatever he wants with two skins on his lips, and Yuta Mahara knows this well.

Yuta Mahara saw that Guerrero was just staring at the cowshed and didn't respond.

After a while, Guerrero said, "I would like to see how many catties and taels the so-called 'strongest newcomer' has." ”

Ma Yuan Yongtai was overjoyed in his heart, the foreign devil was trapped, he was silent on the surface, and said seemingly casually, "Then I'm afraid I won't have a chance until the red and white battle in the team." ”

"Red and White War?" Guerrero turned and walked towards the lounge, "I don't want to wait until that time for me to get my bat." Guerrero looked back as he walked and said, "I don't want to have a bad night's sleep tonight." ”

Mmmm, hopefully you can make this kid sleep well tonight, no! It's best not to sleep well for a month. Over to you! Triple Crown! Seeing Guerrero stride away, Yuta Mahara stared at someone in the cowshed, his seemingly happy gaze revealing cruelty.

In the cowshed, Konishi Torotaro felt that the speedball was almost there, and he raised his hand to give instructions to Yuki Takami, "Okay! Maintain this possession and start throwing the ball below. ”

"What kind of change ball to throw?"

"You can throw any of them...... "Konishi Torataro changed his mind before he could say anything, "Let's start with the best ball......

"Remember, throw the ball!"

"Yo Xi!" Yuki Takami hid the ball in his glove, "The curveball is coming!" ”

"Let the horses come!" Konishi Torotaro opened his arms.

Yuki Takami's baseball made a graceful arc and spun and flew towards Konishi Torotaro. Torotaro Konishi controls the gloves in and out and easily puts the ball in the palm of his hand.

"That's a good arc!" Konishi Torotaro first praised it, and then complained, "It's just that the change was a little earlier before entering the base." ”

"Then don't throw a curveball." Yuki Takami was a little upset, "Next, change to a slider." ”

At this time, a voice suddenly rushed into the cowshed, "You two, you just throw the ball over and throw it...... That's boring. ”

Yuki Takami and Torotaro Konishi followed the same prestige, and it was Guerrero who was holding a bat in his hand who spoke.

"It's better to ...... Let's play, shall we? ”

Triple Crown! Guerrero! Konishi Torotaro sighed in his heart, what is this great god doing here?

What is the Triple Crown?

It is a player who combines the home run king, the point king, the hit rate king, and the first set of three attack data rankings.

The home run king refers to the total number of home runs and the first place in the NPB team in the season.

Playing the king means that this player wields a bat and knocks back the first score in the NPB season.

As for the king of beating, does this need to be said?

Oh! Needless to say, of course! Well, the batting rate king means that the player's probability of hitting a hit ranks first in the NPB all-season season, that is, the batting average is the first. As an aside: the Triple Crown is just a featured award for the NPB of the Japan Major League Baseball.

To sum up, winning the Triple Crown means that this player is the No.1 Namba among the attacking players! Otherwise, how could the Orange Rabbit Legion spend a lot of effort to recruit the foreign general Guerrero from the Yakult Black Swallow next door to his command? The name of the shadow man of the tree, how can he go to Liangshan without three, two, three? Basically, the fourth main gun of the Orange Rabbit Army this season has been determined to be Guerrero - of course, this is just inside information that Konishi Torotaro knows but Yuki Takami does not know yet.

Hawkers! After all, the ignorant are fearless.

"Oh?" Yuki Takami asked, "How do you want to play?" ”

Konishi Torotaro is in a hurry, Nani? Takami rookie! How do you speak? You kid never watch NPB live TV? Don't you know who is standing in front of you?
