April has finally arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Yuanrang was promoted to the second grade.

The day after the opening ceremony. There was a lot of competition in the baseball club.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the Peace School Baseball Club has gathered the number of people who can play the Red and White War.

Superintendent Yagi announced that he would look at the performance of the first red and white game to determine the lineup for the Spring Festival.

There are now more than 30 members in the baseball club. It's not time for everyone to get the back number.

The grouping of the Red and White Wars is very simple. The seniors in the second and third grades are in a group, and the newcomers in the first year are in a group.

In terms of on-the-spot command. Superintendent Yagi is in charge of leading the rookie group. The senior group was handed over to Coach Aragaki to guide.

"Before I knew it, it was time to be called a senior."

Before the start of the game, Li Yuanrang sighed while tying his shoelaces.

"And these new guys are flattering one by one."

To say that it is flattery is obviously a bit exaggerated.

However, the dozen or so new recruits to the baseball club have all grown up in a well-organized environment.

In Lee's view, this belongs to the part of Japanese culture that can be called "dross".

There is no such atmosphere in the club activities of the Peace Academy.

Seniors can't call juniors. Not to mention scolding.

But the newcomers to the baseball club have clearly not yet adapted to this atmosphere of equality and freedom.

In the training in recent days, Li Yuanrang almost didn't have time to tidy up his own equipment and equipment, and there were always juniors rushing up to do it for him.

When you want to drink a drink, there are always juniors who hand it over in time.

As a senior, this is equivalent to enjoying benefits.

But the juniors who are respectful to their predecessors this year will be arrogant to the newcomers next year.

Whether it is Li Yuanrang or the team's main player Akio Yabe. I don't want this habit to be passed down in the baseball club.

Luckily, there are several members of the baseball club who have been promoted directly from Peace School Middle School.

Compared to previous years, the soft baseball club of Peace School Middle School has a lot more players who choose to go directly to high school.

When he was in junior high school, he was in the spotlight in the Nishitokyo area, and he was one of them, Ritoku Kawajiri, who was invited by many private universities.

But the reason why Kawajiri stayed in the Peace School actually had little to do with the baseball club's achievements.

Ritoku Kawajiri, who is an idol lover in private, doesn't want to leave this school where he can meet his favorite artists.

The director of the baseball club, Yagi, is very talented with Kawajiri.

This is the first red-white battle in the team. Kawajiri was placed in the position of a stalwart of the bat.

"I heard you were a guerrilla in middle school?"

Unlike external competitions, in the red and white war, Li Yuan's chat with fellow fighters is really just a chat.

"The stalwart can also defend it. It is said that the supervisor threw me into the outfield because he wanted to see the skills of the infielders. ”

Kawajiri is a reflex fielder. As an infielder, he can quickly make judgments on incoming balls. And when it comes to the outfield, his movement speed can guarantee a wide garrison range.

But in terms of strikes, it's clear that he's not up to the level of a college yet.

After special training in the autumn and winter, Akio Yabe's pitching has evolved.

Now the average ball speed can be around 135 km/h. If you insist on soaring speed, there is still the potential to increase it by a few kilometers.

There have also been improvements in possession and variation.

It's just that the level of the skateball is still far from what Inspector Yagi had expected.

Of course, it is not necessary to deal with a newcomer like Kawajiri who has just been promoted to high school.

Li Yuanrang got a strikeout with three straight balls.

As the first striker, Kawajiri's swing of the stick seemed a little impatient. The task of observing the pitcher was not done well.

The second player is named Sho Tachibana. It is an outfielder from Saga. A member of the sports special admissions. Needless to say, of course, since childhood, I have been playing hard youth leagues.

"I actually let the guy from the soft style hit the first bat. Isn't the supervisor taking too much care of the general team members? ”

Tachibana looked at Kawajiri, who walked back to the rest area, and her tone was full of disdain.

In his opinion, the players who came from playing hard since childhood and the members of the soft baseball club are not on the same running line at all.

The results of the blow did confirm Tachibana's self-confidence to some extent.

An outside corner kick was easily pushed by Tachibana in the direction of Sanyuma. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the shortstop Tokuda, Tachibana would have run out of the infield to hit.

Kojima, the third baseman at the third baseman, also came from the hard league. It's just that the attitude is much more modest.

He swung the first ball.

Baseball is a solid game. It's just that the angle is a little more correct.

Donald, the stalwart of the senior group, took a step back and easily received the baseball.

"Not bad, three up and three down."

Throughout the winter, Lee trained with Yabe. Because it's close.,On the contrary, I don't have a particularly intuitive feeling for the evolution of the arrow.。

This red-white war can be regarded as a test of the results of winter training.

"It's just luck that the last two people didn't get hit, and the special enrollment really has its own strength."

Just a year ago, the Peace School Baseball Club was a private underdog that almost couldn't get enough members.

Now we can rely on the reputation we made last year to attract outstanding newcomers from all over the world.

In the face of this progress, even Yabe, who is the most opposed to the special enrollment system, will feel a little gratified.

The second half of the first game was the attack of the senior group.

This time, the batter who was ranked first was the shortstop Tokuda.

This arrangement was made by Superintendent Yagi. The reason is also simple, the Yagi overseer plans to use Tokuda as the first striker at the spring convention. The current red-white battle is going to give Tokuda a chance to adapt to this role.

There are several pitchers in the special enrollment for the new school year.

Many of them were players who did well in the hard league in middle school.

There are even people who have participated in international competitions as representatives of Japanese youth.

But what is unexpected is that the starting pitcher sent by the Yagi supervisor is actually Tatsuya Shimabukuro from the soft baseball club.

"Just now Kawajiri told me that Inspector Yagi wants to try the rookie team's infield guard......"

In the rest area, Li Yuanrang and Yabe talked about the reason why the superintendent chose Shimabukuro to start the attack.

Tatsuya Shimabukuro, a pitcher on paper, is most characterized by a ball speed of nearly 140 kilometers.

That's quite a lot of speed for a middle school student.

Li Yuanrang thought that this island bag was a speedball faction.

But judging from the action of practicing throwing, Shimabukuro's ball control level is actually quite good.

The most important thing is to be able to hold down the baseball while flying the ball speed.

Being able to stuff a straight ball into the bottom half of the good ball zone is a trick to getting the hitter to hit the ball in the field.

Superintendent Yagi has already given instructions to the catchers of the rookie group. At least in the first round, you should match the ball according to the pattern of pitching to the hitter.

Tatsuya Shimabukuro's first pitch was a straight ball low in the middle of the good zone.

It can be seen from the position of the trapper's gloves that Superintendent Yagi has long revealed the striking characteristics of the senior group to the other party.

This is a position that Tokuda Ball really likes. He couldn't resist the temptation to swing his bat.
