The content of the second half of the draft was learned by Li Yuanrang through live webcast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Except for those who have graduated from high school and have entered the national tournament. Li Yuanrang, a social and college student, is not familiar with it.

Another "disciple" of Yagi's supervision, pitcher Otsuka, was named in the second round, which can be regarded as a verification of the previous judgment.

One of the regrets of Lee Wonrang is that although many of the players who played against Koshien in Tokyo this summer were favored by the professional baseball, few were selected by the professional baseball in the draft.

After the official draft, the draft of the players will begin.

Not every team is interested in developing players.

Several of the 12 teams in professional baseball have stated that they will not choose to breed players.

In addition, there are a few teams that will only convert players who have not been trained well on their farms but are reluctant to fire them into breeding player contracts to free up slots.

The only ones who are really selected in large numbers are the wealthy giants.

This year, the Giants selected eight people in one go to enter their own breeding "three armies". And Li Yuanrang finally saw the opponents he had fought against in this list.

Hideyuki Kanamori at a private Akikawa high school. He lost to the Peace Academy at the Nishitokyo Conference and was eliminated in the third round.

However, Jinson is a left-handed thrower capable of throwing 145 kilometers of ball.

This type of pitcher only needs to control the ball, and the two points of "left shot" and "sideways shot" alone are enough to eat in professional baseball.

To some extent, this type of pitcher was left until the Breeding Draft, presumably because of the premature elimination of the Summer Conference.

"Do you think Jinsen will agree to sign as a breeding player?"

On the second day of the draft, between trainings, Lee asked Yabe.

"Probably."

"But with his kind of strong pitcher, the team that goes to college should also be able to play the main team."

The former head of the Peace School Baseball Club, Fukushima Ippei, had a great influence on Li Yuanrang.

Fukushima has always instilled a point of view in Mr. Lee. That is, instead of being named by the professional baseball team in later rounds, it is better to go to college and leave a way out in the future.

What's more, the way out of the breeding players is not as good as the players named in the later rounds.

First of all, the breeding players can only play in the second army agricultural games, and the number is three digits. The annual salary is 2 to 3 million yen, which is half of the basic salary of professional baseball.

There is no signing fee of at least tens of millions of yen for ordinary professional baseball newcomers.

It means that he has the name of a professional baseball player, and he earns a salary similar to that of a freelancer working at a convenience store.

And professional sports is an industry that eats youth.

Since it is a "breeding" player.

As long as there are no results within three or two years, they have not been converted into officially signed professional baseball players. will be fired and left the team.

Because of this, at the beginning of the birth of the player system, many high-ranking players chose to join professional baseball teams in this way.

In recent years, the choice to become a nurturing player is more of a semi-finished or ready-to-play player who has made a name for himself in the independent league and wants to be among the mainstream professional baseball leagues.

There are also some international students who graduated from Japan's youth baseball system and want to stay and continue their careers.

As long as they are selected as nurturing players in the draft, they will not be considered foreign players if they join any team in professional baseball in the future.

In this year's draft, a college student from Taiwan was selected in this way. In previous years, many Japanese-Brazilians who were born in Brazil and studied in Japan have circumvented the restrictions on foreign aid in this way.

"In this case, Jin Sen will probably choose to join the group. After all, it's not easy to find a college team in his situation......"

This is Yabe's answer.

College baseball, although nominally an extracurricular part of the school. However, for the players of some private baseball powerhouses, it is basically the whole of their college life.

In particular, those sports students who rely on their baseball scores to enter private schools and receive tuition waivers basically only play baseball during the three years of college, and there is a blank in terms of coursework.

It must be hopeless to expect to get into a university by exams.

In this case, if you want to go on to higher education, you can only continue to rely on your sports expertise.

On the other hand, private universities have a much smaller number of baseball clubs than universities, so naturally each team has more targets to choose from.

Therefore, the threshold for entering a prestigious private university is much higher.

In addition, it is to prevent supervision of baseball club or teacher from taking care of specific student entrance to school by exchange of benefits. Most universities have special recruitment places for baseball clubs, and there are rigid requirements for applicants' grades in college.

The top elite schools may be required to be the main members of the top four in the local preliminary selection. You don't even have to go into Koshien.

Other schools will also require applicants to have at least a top 8 or 16 record.

And Hideyuki Kanamori, who stopped at the third place in the West Tokyo Games, although his strength is obvious to all, he may suffer a lot in terms of quantifiable indicators.

Li Yuanrang listened to Yabe's detailed explanation of the above point, but his mood was a little complicated.

"What? Do you think it's your own harm that Jinsen didn't go to college? ”

Li Yuanrang's thoughts were probably conveyed to Yabe through his expression a long time ago.

But after Yabe said this, Li Yuan let himself figure it out.

College baseball is a single-elimination format where every team must defeat their opponents if they want to advance.

Peace School Park this summer is also Koshien that won with its own efforts.

This kind of serious response to the game is the greatest respect for each of your opponents.

As for the players who have lost the team before.

Their life path also depends on their own efforts to go on better.

"But if the main team of the top four of the local conference can apply, then our results this summer can be used to apply for college when we graduate?"

Li Yuanrang suddenly thought of this question.

"Of course, I'm counting on this to go to college."

Yabe said.

"Huh? You don't go straight to the Peace Academy University? ”

"If you can go to a prestigious school with baseball, of course you have to go to a better school!"

"If you want to study in Hayata, it would be better if you took the Hayata Sho directly."

Li Yuanrang remembered the team's next opponent. Hayata Sho, the number one name in western Tokyo.

Judging from the name alone, Li Yuanrang knew that this was a university with a relationship with Hayata University. It's probably possible to go straight to early age.

"It's not so easy to get into that kind of school. And ......"

"And what?"

"Don't be fooled by the name, Hayata Sho's graduates don't just go on to Hayata University. It's much more difficult than our promotion to the Peace Academy. ”

"Can't go straight up?"

"There are a few places a year, but it's not that easy to get."
