After the basic test, the coach took Yagami to the cowshed to conduct a special test for the garrison position he had reported.

When Yagami followed the coaches to the cowshed, he found Superintendent Kataoka and the other coaches waiting for them next to a vacant pitching spot.

"Overseer, Yagami is here." The instructor walked up to Superintendent Kataoka with Yagami and said hello to his ward, then turned and stood behind him.

Superintendent Kataoka nodded, and gestured to the head of the First Army's main battle catcher, Takigawa Chris Merit.

"Yagami Night."

After hearing Inspector Kataoka call him, Yagami didn't make any extra moves, and replied directly, "Yes! ”

"Let's start now, and then we will conduct a more comprehensive test of your abilities, I hope you can do your best!"

With that, Superintendent Kataoka stepped aside, gave up his pitching position, and motioned for Yagami to move forward for the test. Chris also stepped aside to change the catcher gear.

After Chris finished preparing, he walked up to Yagami and asked, "What kind of ball do you know?" ”

"Two-seam fast balls and four-seam fast straights, sliders, speed balls, and curveballs."

Chris nodded, walked straight to the catcher position, crouched down, and set up the ball cover.

A coach standing next to the pitching position handed Yagami the ball that he had already held in his hand.

"The first is the straight ball test, where you throw the ball for maximum speed."

Yagami looked at his left hand, and his three fingers rubbed each other, well, the fingers were in okay condition, and then he raised the ball cover, twisted his waist and abdomen, and walked and waved his arms.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Chris calmly watched the baseball fly towards him, and turned his head to look at the speedometer next to him: "The ball speed is 142km/h." ”

Chris's eyes lit up at this, and he got up and passed the baseball back, "Good ball." ”

"The ball is very good, the ball is good, and the possession of the ball is not conclusive for the time being."

"Smack!"

"Good shot." Chris caught it and sent it back, "It seems to be a little faster." "I don't know if it's his delusion?

"Smack!"

Chris stood up, "It's coming soon!" Throwing the baseball in his hand to Yagami Yagami, "Go straight and give it your all, don't worry about whether I can get your pass." ”

Yagami raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll come directly, but if I shoot hard, the ball is not very good, you have to be careful." ”

Chris's answer was to just crouch down and set up the ball cover.

"Whew!"

"Wait, wasn't that the fastest just now!" Chris moved his glove a moment to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.

"Bad balls." Chris threw the baseball back to Yagami again, "What's the fastest pitch you've ever thrown?" ”

“147kn/h。”

After this, Yagami Yatsuya threw two sets of fifteen balls each at Chris's request.

'He's got the same ball as he says he says, sometimes he can't get the ball to the good ball, but there are a few missed balls. Chris is happy with Yagami's strong strength.

……

Yagami was throwing the ball non-stop, and there were two coaches standing on the side, one holding a speed gun, and after each shot, the data on the speed gun would be told to the other coach who was recording the data.

"It's going to be changed, and the next thing is the speed ball."

Yagami nodded.

The speed difference is about 17km (the speed of a variable ball is 130km/h), and the ball control is not bad, but it is really difficult to play such a ball in a speedball. Chris passed the ball back.

Yagami is naturally good at low-speed ball control, he wants to play, at least he must be able to control the ball in the nine-square grid, of course, once the ball speed is increased to more than 146km/h, he can only do the most basic four-square grid control.

After throwing more than a dozen balls, Chris asked Yagami to start throwing curveballs.

Although the arc of Yagami Nocturne is not as good as that of Tanba Koichiro in the same grade, it is faster than him in terms of speed.

The biggest surprise for Chris was Yagami's final decisive slide, which was able to control the ball accurately even at a speed of more than 140km/h.

……

With the sound of balls flying into the catcher's ball sleeve from time to time, Yagami was methodically testing, and a military cast not far away occasionally cast a little glance at Yagami night.

"Wow!"

"That'...... That ball! ”

This time, even if anyone wanted to subconsciously ignore the situation on Yagamiya's side, they couldn't do it, and there were suddenly exclamations of different sizes from Yagami and Chris.

Yagami Yagama, who threw his decisive shot, was very calm, he simply ended his pitching posture neatly, and caught Chris's return baseball in the next moment, without the slightest consciousness of throwing a terrible ball.

The group of people in the test were indeed surprised by Yagami Yagami, and they would never have imagined that the speed of the slider thrown by Yagami would be so close to his two-seam fast ball.

"What's the ball speed?"

Superintendent Kataoka asked the coach, and the coach hurriedly informed Superintendent Kataoka of the data on the speedometer.

"The ball speed is 143km/h!"

It's almost as fast as a fast ball!

As soon as this number appeared, everyone was extremely surprised, and it was hard to believe that Yagami could throw the ball so close to the speed of a fast straight ball. Nearby second-year pitchers Jimaichi Shingu and Hiroshi Sakai had more surprised expressions on their faces than the others, and they were also pitchers who understood what this kind of thing meant better than anyone else.

"Yagami Night, tomorrow we will start training in the first army!" Inspector Kataoka's words were like a pebble smashed into a calm lake, causing an uproar in everyone's hearts.

Jinguji and Sakai glanced at Yagami who was still standing there and clenched their fists.

"Now everyone is disbanded and training on their own."

"Chris, Yagami, you guys come with me."

As soon as Chris and Yagami entered the door, they were a little surprised to find that Rei Takashima and Minister Ota were there.

"Yagami Yagami, male, fifteen years old, served as the (long) relay pitcher and starting pitcher of the XX team of the World Junior Baseball League before the age of fourteen, and his good balls are sliders and two-seam fast balls (stretch balls), and the other balls he mastered are four-seam fast straight balls, variable speed balls and curved balls, with a maximum ball speed of 147km/h, right?" Rei Takashima took the resume that Yagami handed in with the application form yesterday afternoon, and read it carefully, except for Superintendent Kataoka, Rei Takashima and Yagami Yage, Minister Ota and Chris were all stunned.

Chris didn't expect the transfer student next to him to have such a gorgeous resume.

"The purpose of calling you here is simple, we are less than half a month away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Games in the fall, and I hope to ...... before then" Kataoka glanced at Chris, "Chris, you can be in charge of his pitcher training." ”

"Yes." Chris somehow became a little agitated.

……

The next day, unlike other annual morning exercises, which were running, the first soldier only ran for less than an hour before starting the practice of guarding and attacking.

"Matsuda and Yagami come to the cowshed." The instructor called Yagami and the second-year senior catcher into the cowshed and took the casting test again.

"At present, the ball speed can reach a maximum of 147km/h, good ball control, in addition to fast straight balls and slides, curved balls and variable speed balls are good, and they will also throw card ball ......" The data of one item was recorded, and several coaches felt that this first-year pitcher had a high degree of completion.

If you can keep up with your physical strength, you can pull it directly into the field, and it seems that this autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Conference, Seido has a chance to win!

On the other side, Chris was also receiving the pitch from the senior of Jinguji and senior Sakai as required, and he threw thirty balls without missing a single ball, and even the new ball that the senior of Jinguji was practicing could catch it very well, and the sound of the baseball flying into the ball sleeve was as calm and clear as ever, worthy of being the core and soul of the Qingdao First Army.
