The tee machines at this "stand front" hitting driving range don't have equipment like LED screens that simulate pitcher postures. The www.biquge.info ball is thrown almost without warning.

Li Yuanrang hadn't adapted to this rhythm in the first few balls, and he didn't even have time to swing the bat.

Start with the fourth and fifth balls. Li Yuanrang was gradually able to keep up with the rhythm. When you hit the second set of twenty balls, basically every stick hit the baseball.

"It's really like you said, I can hit it too."

Li Yuanrang, who walked out of the fairway, said to Akio Yabe, who was waiting outside.

"The ball sent by the ball machine has a trace of speed and position, and I can gradually adapt to it when I play more. That's why the baseball club needs a coach like Kazusa Aragaki who can pitch the ball to everyone. ”

"So it's not surprising that an average person like Aragaki can hit a speedball of 164 kilometers?"

"Lee, you need to know one thing."

"What?"

"Neither of you can be considered ordinary people......"

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Aragaki and Sa appeared on time on the court of the Peace School Baseball Club.

"My name is Honda and I'm a second baseman!"

"I'm Yamaba in the left field!"

"Third baseman Kawasaki, please advise!"

……

I didn't know that there would be such a coach, and the second-year students rushed to introduce themselves.

"It doesn't just look like it's welcoming a new coach."

Standing on the other side of the court, Lee Wonrang, who was practicing throwing the ball, said to Yabe next to him.

"For a second-year student, only two years older can be considered within the garrison range."

"Is there a garrison range......

Li Yuanrang remembered that Aragaki and Shaya had just graduated from college not long ago, and they were the same age as everyone in the baseball club.

"Since she's about the same age as us, why do you and Fukushima think she can guide everyone's training?"

Li Yuanrang asked.

"Actually, it should be said that it is to assist everyone in training. And she's not just an ordinary college graduate. ”

Yesterday, Yabe Akio said to Li Yuanrang that Aragaki and Sha cannot be regarded as ordinary people.

"I've been paying attention to the draft basically every year, basically in recent years, there will be several female players signing up for the annual draft conference, and they will also get media attention, but among these people, Aragaki is the only one who really has a foothold in the professional baseball field......

Akio Yabe likes to collect all kinds of information about baseball. In addition to the network that young people like. Traditional newspapers, magazines, and television media will not be spared.

RB also has a dedicated women's professional baseball league though. However, there are still many young girls who aim to join the 12 teams of the NPB and compete with the male players.

These people aspire to professional baseball for a variety of reasons. Some of them were taught by the baseball coach's father since childhood, and some were born as managers of the baseball club. There are even those who started baseball training in their twenties because they wanted a specific professional baseball player.

And Aragaki and Sand are different from these people. She has been planning her baseball career since middle school. From nutritional management to scientific training. I even have a clear plan for what role I can play in professional baseball in the future.

And in terms of physical fitness, Aragaki also has its own advantages.

In addition to the 12 teams belonging to the two NPB leagues, there are also a number of "independent leagues" scattered across the region.

Theoretically, players from these independent leagues can also be counted as professional baseball players.

In previous years, there have been several female players who have signed with teams in the Independent League. But most of these players are less than 160 in height. The amount of muscle is also insufficient.

Compared to them, Aragaki and Sa were lucky enough to grow to 166 centimeters. It's a little higher than the arrow of the Peace Academy. In addition to the perennial systematic training, the muscles of the whole body are also very solid.

In the general college ball match, Aragaki is not left behind at all.

"Even if you're on par with high school boys, it's hard to get into professional baseball, right?"

Not much is known about professional baseball though. However, Li Yuanrang probably also knows that the number of college students selected by the draft every year is thirty or forty. It is only slightly higher than the level of ordinary college students, and it is impossible to step into the threshold of entry into the club.

"It's a question of whether you can get into professional baseball with your skills. However, if you can train yourself at the same level as boys of the same age, it is enough to guide our current team. What's more, she was born in the Musashi West baseball club. ”

"Musashi West? Isn't that a strong team in Saitama Prefecture? ”

Recently, Lee Wonrang, who has been making up for his high school baseball knowledge, can often see the name Musashi Nishi in the materials, and it seems that he is a famous baseball player in Saitama Prefecture.

"When you see the name 'Aragaki', you must think that you are from Okinawa, right? In fact, according to the media, Aragaki and Sa grew up in Tokorozawa, Saitama. Musashinishi High School, which was famous in the local area when he was in junior high school, was changed from a boys' school to a co-educational school just in time for the high school to enter the prefecture. In order to publicize it, the school not only gave her a place for special sports admissions, but also trained with the first army of the baseball club for three years......"

With the aging population and declining birthrate, the competition for students in RB schools is becoming more and more intense. Private schools, in particular, are unable to survive if they don't have enough students. Therefore, in order to promote the characteristics of the university, various publicity methods have emerged in an endless stream.

Sports teams of all kinds that are able to do well in competitions have always been considered natural publicity boards. That's why most of the top baseball schools in the Tokyo neighborhood are private.

……

Kazusa Aragaki took up his first task as a part-time coach to lead the players in garrison training.

Captain Kazuhei Fukushima, who has been in charge of playing the coach's batter, finally has the opportunity to stand on the pitcher's mound and practice various situations.

Aragaki hit the ball accurately in the direction of first base, second base, guerrilla, and third base. Then, various occasions of striking and sacrificing were simulated.

"Next, it's the catcher high flying ball!"

Aragaki and Sa throw the ball. Then gently pry the bat from the bottom to the top. The baseball flew straight upwards and began to fall a few seconds later.

Akio Yabe, who wears glasses, is dazzled in the eyes by the sun's rays. Failing to see where the ball was, the baseball hit the edge of the glove and failed to catch it.

"Catcher! Run two laps around the course! Fast! ”

"Huh?"

"Didn't you say that I should teach you Musashinishi's training methods? I did what you asked. ”

Hearing this, Yabe just had to bite the bullet and start running in circles.

"Is this the so-called famous training method?"

As he passed through the outfield, Li Yuanrang said to him.

"It's as old-school as the legend goes......"

There is no way to ask for Aragaki Yabe.

After all, the idea of a part-time coach was the first one he proposed.

And if you think about it, this kind of rigorous training may not be useless for future competitions.
