"I've heard of this, the fourth catcher is the so-called chief of the second army." Yuki Takami's answer made it clear that although he is still inexperienced, he is not ignorant of the establishment of players in the first and second armies of professional baseball.

So Konishi Torotaro knew that there was no need to explain the basic definition of the fourth catcher, so he took the opportunity to change the subject, "I must admit that I can't say anything about the first army......"

"But in the Second Army, I don't need to look at anyone." Konishi Torotaro completely strengthened his affirmative tone, "No matter what kind of status that person he once had." ”

Konishi continued, "For more than a year, our team has been actively promoting the rejuvenation of the team from top to bottom. Konishi Torotaro looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Even the former captain has been taken down and put into the second army, and some people who rely on the old and sell the old still don't know the situation." ”

"Former captain?" Yuki Takami's mind conjured up the image of a man who was not only the captain of the Orange Rabbits, but also the captain of the Japanese baseball team, who had won the World Baseball Classic on behalf of Japan.

Such a person was actually demoted to the Second Army?

Wait a minute! The Konishi Torotaro in front of him is already the fourth catcher, doesn't that mean that in the second army lineup, the former captain didn't even keep his own garrison position?!

"That...... The former captain is here today, right? Yuki Takami stretched out his hands to hold Tsuyoshi Harada's hand and asked urgently, "Where is he?" ”

Konishi Torotaro was obviously a little caught off guard by Yuki Takami's sudden enthusiasm, so he was caught off guard and said the truth, "If the old captain was here, how would you encounter this kind of scene?" ”

Konishi Torotaro still had a sentence on his lips, but he didn't say it: "The new captain has taken over for more than a year, and he is still a little out of tune." ”

In fact, Konishi Torotaro's requirements are a bit too high, how can a captain who has served in the team for more than ten years compare with a person who has just served as a captain for more than a year? For example, if a family governor who has been in power for more than ten years and has just retired, can the successor of the family governor immediately eliminate the influence of his predecessor and then establish his own influence? A team with a new leader is bound to have a realignment of spheres of influence, and a stable team is not the same thing as a team in a period of change. Konishi Torotaro This is a typical "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”

"So he's not here today......" Yuki Takami's regret was overflowing.

"The old captain is old, his weight is not well controlled, and he is a little overweight, so he has to do aerobic exercises to lose weight."

"Now that he's no longer crouching?"

When Konishi Torotaro heard this, he glanced at Yuki Takami, and his mind turned to understand what this rookie wanted to know, "The old captain is old, and there are still many old injuries, and it is already difficult for a strong man to do a long time of squatting and catching." ”

Yuki Takami was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and understood how bad the current situation of the former captain was, but he still didn't give up and asked, "So which position will he turn to guard?" ”

Konishi Torotaro began to hesitate for a moment, as if he didn't want to talk about the topic too much, "I want to...... I think I'll guard the outfield a little bit......" Konishi Torotaro's reluctant words were very suspicious of avoiding the important and trivial.

Yuki Takami doubts its authenticity, "Guarding the outfield with an excess weight and poor movement? ”

"Takahashi...... How could the coaching staff have such crazy ideas? ”

"Boy! Don't talk nonsense! Konishi Torotaro quietly looked left and right, there was no one around, and whispered out a sentence, "I may act as a substitute in the game, or designate a substitute (DH)." Konishi Torataro added, "I didn't say anything......"

"Uh-huh! I didn't hear anything, and the seniors didn't say anything. Yuki Takami was also very good, and replied in a low voice.

Hey! Substitution, designated substitution...... In other words, this player no longer has a fixed position on the field, and can only use the attack power of the bat in the team's attack round.

Thinking of the classic highlight moments when he was a child, when he often saw the former captain of the Orange Rabbit Army wearing catcher equipment in the audience of the game, Yuki Takami couldn't help but sigh a little, "Professional sports are really cruel! ”

"We're professionals." Konishi Torotaro didn't care, "Aren't we doing this to eat youth......

"Look at the old captain's age." Konishi Torotaro saw very openly and thoroughly, "Compared with other sports, the professional life span of professional baseball players is relatively long. ”

Yuki Takami suggested, "Let's go practice." Yuki Takami raised his head slightly, the sun shining on his well-defined face at nine o'clock in the morning, "Our career has just begun, and if we stop here, wouldn't it be even more bleak than those famous players who have grown old because of the passage of time?" ”

Konishi Torotaro raised his eyebrows, "That's right! For us, who are still in the second army, how can we have any position to sympathize with the plight of famous players. ”

Yuki Takami, "Let's go for a run." ”

"Huh?" Konishi Torotaro expressed surprise, "What are you running?" ”

"It's a training day, though."

"But in fact, there is no training scheduled today."

Yuki Takami, "What else? I'm just standing here stupidly, waiting for someone else to talk to me? ”

"Or do I take the initiative to find someone and get a bunch of humiliations?"

"Emmm ......" Torotaro Konishi discovers that he who took the initiative to talk to Yuki Takami has also been trapped—he is also in danger of being isolated like Yuki Takami.

But fortunately, he had already been mentally prepared, and Konishi Torotaro took the opportunity to suggest, "Isn't it better to do some stretching exercises first and then go for a run?" ”

"Huh? Is the physical flexibility of the predecessors so poor? ”

"I say, rookie! Don't underestimate my predecessors! ”

"Then let's run!"

"Hey, wait for me!"

Yuki Takami and Torotaro Konishi began to jog around the training ground, and the other players of the Orange Rabbit Army, who were still chatting and farting to collect their younger brothers, also stopped one by one and turned to pay attention to the abnormal behavior of these two people - what the hell are these two guys doing? I was chatting just now, why did I run away in a blink of an eye?

Yuki Takami and Torotaro Konishi, the two of them turned a blind eye to everyone's onlookers and did what they wanted to do step by step.

Konishi Torotaro said as he ran, "Whew...... When I was in my rookie year, I ...... If you are so maverick, ...... Maybe the coaching staff will have taken a fancy to me sooner. Konishi Torotaro seemed to enjoy the feeling of being watched.

"In the final analysis, it is a matter of strength, as long as you have strong strength, it will be a matter of time before you enter the first army." Yuki Takami ran with ease.
