"Very good, then Chris and Yagami will team up and arrange the corresponding exercises by yourself."

"Yagami, you come over in the afternoon to feed the seniors, mainly on the straight ball path; Chris practiced striking and guarding with the others. ”

"Yes." After arranging the training content of the first army, the instructor left.

Chris swapped places with Senior Matsuda, who had previously squatted for Yagami, and after crouching, he punched the inside of the ball sleeve with his right hand, and then placed the ball sleeve in the center and looked at Yagami Yagami.

Straight ball? I like it! Yagami then took a deep breath and threw a straight ball with a wave of his arm.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Good shot!"

Chris took the baseball out of the holster and passed it to Yagami and put the catcher gloves in their place again.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"One more goal!"

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Excellent!"

Several second-year seniors who were watching Yagamiya's throwing practice on the side were conquered by Yagamiya's strength one after another.

"It's six balls, all in the same position." Yu Sakai bit his lip, and Yagami's pitching speed was getting faster and faster, almost as soon as he received the ball, he threw it without the slightest hesitation.

With a stable ball speed of around 140km/h, can you achieve accurate ball control?

For the first time, the second-year bench pitcher felt unparalleled pressure from his juniors, and his right hand hidden in the ball sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he would never admit defeat!

……

At 3:30 p.m., everyone in the baseball club gathered on the training ground to do warm-up movements, making necessary preparations for the subsequent training.

After a short warm-up, Yagami put on protective gear and began to feed the second-year seniors.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"The strength is good, keep it up." Taro Fukuda, who hit the ball thrown by Yagami with the first bat, smiled slightly, "One more ball!" ”

Yagami watched the baseball he threw out of the way he threw it, before he bent down and took out a baseball from the frame next to him, took a deep breath, waved his arms, and threw it with all his might.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Smack!"

"You're kind of funny!" Taro Fukuda's bat swept past from the good ball area was a beat slower and staggered with the speeding baseball, he turned his head to look at the baseball that was blocked by the net, and pointed at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's seat and shouted, "Come again!" ”

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Yes, keep up this momentum, Yagami, a few more balls!" After hitting two more balls in succession, Taro Fukuda began to get excited, "Throw the ball you just threw again!" ”

"Yes!" Yagami Ye directly raised his foot and turned around and waved his arm, swinging a ball again.

Fukuda, who was waiting for the ball, stared closely at the path of the ball, and did not swing his bat heavily until the baseball flew into the strike zone.

"Ping!"

This ball flew higher and farther than the ball just now.

The baseball was hit and flew into the sky and flew farther and farther away, eventually past the fence around the court and onto the lawn beyond the fence.

Is it a home run?!!

This is the first hitter! He hit a home run, although his pitch was limited to a straight ball...... It can only be said that it is worthy of the pride of the Qingdao Baseball Club.

At the end of the evening practice, as the only three first-year students in the first army, Yagami night, Chris, and Yuki Tetsuya, who had just been promoted to the first army by Kataoka's supervision, cleaned up and tidied up the court together, at this time, Dong Kiyokuni suddenly came over with a bat on his back, and said to Yagami night: "You will have a hard time next, you have to work hard, you know?" ”

After saying that, Dong Qingguo looked at the other first-year students who were still running on another court: "Those guys are some hopeless waste. ”

Yagami didn't feel much after hearing this, after all, not everyone has the conditions like him, they can receive professional baseball training from the sixth grade of elementary school, and the other first-graders just have a lower starting point, they still have time to grow, and no one can say that their future is gray rather than colorful.

On the morning of the second day after joining the First Army, Yagami met Kentaro Matsuda, a senior catcher, in the cafeteria.

"Yagami, let's practice casting in the afternoon."

Yagami nodded in agreement.

……

In the afternoon, Matsuda changed into catcher gear and arrived at the indoor training room to find that Yagami had arrived early and was practicing pitching at the net.

"Didn't Chris come with you?"

Hearing Matsuda's inquiry, Yagami stopped moving, sweat on his face, and replied, "Chris seems to have something to do to find the overseer." ”

"I see." Matsuda walked over to Yagami's side and turned his head to look at the baseballs that had fallen under the net, and there were about twenty or thirty balls scattered on the ground.

"Let's do some shooting drill." Matsuda patted Yagami on the shoulder with his gloves and motioned for him to begin his shooting drill.

"Bang!"

Matsuda felt the force of the ball into the glove, confirmed Yagami's pitching status, and passed the baseball back.

"One more goal!"

In the empty training room, the sound of pitching and catching the ball began to sound.

……

As the days passed, Yagami gradually adapted to the training of the Seido Baseball Club, and at the same time, because the qualifiers for the Tokyo Metropolitan Games in the autumn were just around the corner, the Kataoka superintendent decided on the candidates for the first army, and the week-long training camp began.

Although the protagonists of the training camp are the sixteen regular candidates of the First Army, the members of the Second Army also need to train them in auxiliary training. The fielder is responsible for running and stealing bases, while the pitcher is responsible for feeding the batter and helping the team practice batting.

On September 10th, the Seido training camp had not yet ended, and the qualifiers for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in Autumn had already begun. Of course, because Qingdao started from the second battle, it has a few more days to buffer than other schools.

Yagami was the first player in the three rounds of the qualifiers, that is, the semi-finals of the qualifiers, and finished the game, and then boarded in the eighth game of the finals, so that the opponent could not continue to score and held the victory for Seido.

It can be said that although the Seido team is still in the run-in period, the qualifiers for the Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Games will not be able to bring too much trouble to Seido, except for the final finals, which took a little effort, and after three matches in the qualifiers, it is easy to get the right to qualify for the Autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Games.

The next step was to compete with 23 other schools in Tokyo for that ticket to Koshien in the spring.

At the beginning of October, Dong Kiyokuni and Minister Ota went to the draw together, and there were no particularly strong opponents in the first three rounds, but the opponent in the semifinals was Ichidaisan, and the opponent in the final was the winner between Teto and Inagi Industries.

"Good luck." After reading the schedule, Kentaro Matsuda said.

"The next step is to train seriously." After the second stick Yuki Tanaka finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and asked Dong Qingguo, "When will the superintendent make up the candidates for the first army?" There are still a few more! ”

"The supervisor has his own ideas, and the game is less than a week away, and now he has to make up for it, and there is no time to run in." Taro Fukuda feels that it is a little late to make up for people now.
