"Professor Yagi, right? Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I've always heard that there is a young and promising professor Yagi at Shiratori University.,I finally met it today.。 ”

At the end of the game, Superintendent Morita of the defeated Fuso Osetaya ran to shake hands with a smile on his face.

But the overseer of Yagi on the side of the Peace School that won,The smile on his face can be seen by anyone.。

Judging from the expression alone, it is really impossible to tell who is the winner and who is the loser.

"Associate professor, associate professor."

The reason for Yagi's dissatisfaction is also simple.

I have long been on TV shows with Director Morita. And now the other party is greeting each other as if it were the first time they have met.

I don't know if it's intentional or if it's really a bad memory.

"If you have time next month, do you want to play another practice match?"

"Let's wait for the spring, our baseball club is now the dozen or so people you see in front of you, and it's easy to get injured when it's cold......"

Superintendent Yagi casually found a reason to prevaricate.

"Wouldn't it be nice to play a practice match with a school like Fuso Daisetagani, so why refuse?"

Back on the bus, Li Yuanrang asked his own question to Supervisor Yagi.

In terms of strength, today's opponent is indeed a good choice to play a practice match. Moreover, the summer conference is not divided into one division, and there is no problem of exposing strength.

"Whether you can achieve it or not is another matter, you have to give yourself a goal."

"Target?"

"The Shrine Conference."

Li Yuanrang suddenly realized.

The Autumn Tokyo Games will run until early November. A few days after the event, the Meiji Jingu Tournament, the last tournament of student baseball every year, was held.

Tokyo's teams will only qualify for the Spring Koshien tournament if they win the Autumn Games, and the same is true for representing Tokyo in the Meiji Jingu Games.

To tell the truth, all the members of the Peace Academy, including Li Yuanrang, probably don't really think that they can achieve such a result this fall.

But if you make an appointment for the November practice match from now on, it will be a little too unambitious.

Since the "Goal!" posted on the walls of the departmental rooms and indoor driving ranges, "Goals! Koshien! The slogan is still there. Then every game has to be aimed at winning.

Even if the opponent in the next game is the famous Hayada Sho of the famous family.

"The opponent for the next match has been decided, right?"

"Well, eight to one. Seven innings to end the game. ”

Needless to say, everyone on the bus knows which side wins.

"In the face of that Fuso, the first can actually achieve such an overwhelming advantage."

Li Yuanrang looked at the matchup.

Today's opponent of Hayada Sho is also the first in Fuso University series. In terms of strength, I'm afraid it's a notch higher than this opponent of the Peace Academy.

In the past, the summer tournament was also a team in the semi-finals and quarter-finals in East Tokyo.

"That's right, it's the No. 1 Fuso in the school for children in the sumo world."

"Sumo?"

Li Yuanrang was a little puzzled by what Akio Yabe suddenly said.

"Because their school is next door to the Ryogoku National Art Museum!"

Located in Sumida Ward, east of Tokyo, Fuso Daiichi University is literally "next door" to Ryogoku Kogikukan, Japan's highest sumo mecca.

This is because many of the "sumo wrestling houses" that train sumo wrestlers are located in this area. Therefore, many of the students at Fuso No. 1 are children of people involved in the sumo world.

However, in terms of extracurricular activities and clubs at school, there is no sumo club.

On the contrary, their baseball club is always able to recruit some solid and physical materials into the team for this reason.

So far, several professional baseball players have been produced.

"Five innings are very ...... Seven innings and eight points ......"

Li Yuanrang used his mobile phone to read a simple report of Hayada Sho's game today, and then began to compare it with his own game today.

"What are you counting?"

The next Yagabe turned his head.

"I'm afraid the next one is going to be a strike fight, right?"

In fact, one thing that has been particularly unexpected by Li Yuanrang so far in the autumn conference is the loss of points by Akio Yabe.

It's almost incredibly low.

As a catcher, Li Yuan made the last two games of the ball match terrifying.

But in the end, the result is always thrilling.

However, Li Yuanrang felt that in the next game, it was unrealistic to rely on Yabu to suppress the opponent's line.

Because the opponent in the next game is a strong team in the true sense of the word.

As a catcher, Li Yuanrang is now starting to have a headache for the next game with just calculations.

"If only I could evolve the slider before the next game."

As far as the catcher's side menu is concerned, Yabe's current problem is that there is really no tiebreaker to use.

The straight ball is not powerful enough, and the ball control is not to the point of precision mechanics.

"How can you improve by leaps and bounds before the next game......"

"Don't be afraid of changing the strike, as long as it doesn't become a game that is completely blocked by the opponent......"

Overseer Yagi suddenly interjected. But what he said was not at all morale-boosting.

But the content of these words is also true.

Tournaments between collegiate teams, especially the annual fall convention.

The teams are not mature enough.

Today's defeat of the Peace Academy by Fuso Daisetagani, the previous rounds of the game were also a breakthrough in a suppressive victory all the way.

And today not only did they lose a lot of points in four or five games in a row. The team's prideful line has also achieved nothing.

The situation of the Peace School is special.,There are only two seniors who retired after the summer conference.。

But their opponents in the next game will be different.

For the same position, I don't know how many players of equal strength are competing for it.

What's more, Hayata Sho has always been known for making good use of newcomers.

The list of autumn conventions has changed dramatically from the summer.

Each player who makes up the line has beaten many challengers in the same position on the team to get a back number.

This is where the strength of being a famous family lies.

In terms of strikes, Hayata's strength does not come from opportunism, but from having a top-notch line that has been honed by in-team practice matches that exceed the average of actual battles.

It is certainly unrealistic to expect the School of Peace to lose fewer points. On the contrary, the defense requires more experience and tacit understanding, and if it becomes a strike war, there may be some opportunities to take advantage of in the melee.

"By the way, let's talk about something inconsequential. Isn't it coming to the draft soon......"

Superintendent Yagi suddenly diverted the topic.

"Aren't all the newcomers in this year's draft high-profile college students?"

Although Li Yuanrang doesn't know much about professional baseball, he has also seen some news about the draft on the Internet.

All the attention was on a couple of college pitchers.

"Yes, college students, two of us at Shiratori University have also submitted their application forms. It's all the students I've taken with me. ”

Superintendent Yagi is not an official member of the Shiratori University baseball club. But after all, he also came from the baseball club. So I've been a guest coach for the team.

It's not so much about his experience as it is about the lack of a coolie to train with.

As his media exposure grew, his eagerness to get rid of this awkward status in the college baseball club was one of the reasons he accepted the position of superintendent of the Peace School.

However, the two Shiratori University players who participated in this year's draft can indeed be considered his disciples.
