"Even if your current top ball speed can reach 150km/h, in order to ensure that you can control the ball at a maximum speed of 147~148km/h, and usually only have a ball speed of 144~146km/h. In addition, you need to make some improvements to the ball control of the change ball, after you start to feel tired after you throw more balls, you will habitually let the elbow slide, and the change ball will become much better than before. ”

"These problems are just taking advantage of this summer training to change." Chris said in a serious tone to Yagami Yagami.

“……”

Yagami didn't retort out loud, but instead clung to the baseball, and the whole person didn't look very happy.

"Well, I'll practice with you when the summer Koshien is over." Faced with the pitcher's unhappiness and unhappiness, Chris immediately chose to back down as an excellent catcher, "Is this okay?" ”

"It's going to take a long time, and if you learn it now, maybe you can use it as a deciding ball in the game." Yagami is still trying to convince his catcher.

"Let's hone the ball first, and then talk about the rest! Don't think about going to the palace to help you practice, I'll say hello to him. Chris patted Yagami on the chest with his ball sleeve and continued, "Just keep the previous pitch like this." ”

Chris returned to the catcher position, crouched down and spread his ball sleeve to look at Yagami in front of him.

Yagami did not throw the ball by not cooperating with Chris's code to vent his frustration, but still pitched according to the code given to him by Chris, and after the fifteen balls in the second group, Chris took off his mask and walked to the pitcher position again.

"I thought you'd throw a few bad shots to complain?" Chris sometimes thinks that maybe it's Yagami's sense of responsibility as a pitcher, and Yagami really makes them catchers worry about pitching; Sometimes he even wants the other party to be a little willful, like the former partner Caizen Naoyuki, who showed the arrogance of being a pitcher.

“…… One yard to one yard. Yagami Yagami, who was in a good mood, said to Chris in front of him, "Remember, you're going to come and practice with me after Koshien in the summer." ”

"Okay," Chris nodded, "let's practice with fast balls." ”

"Okay." Yagami moved the wrist of his left hand and motioned for Chris to return to the trapper position to squat and catch.

Immediately after Yagami and Chris's five sets of pitching practice, a coach came up to them and said, "Chris has twenty-five weight-bearing sprints, Yagami has thirty-five sprints." ”

"Yes!" Chris didn't even take off the protective gear on his body, so he went to the sprint track with Yagami Night, and the coach who was guarding there first asked Yagami to be in a group with Izashaki Jun, and then let Chris and Kentaro Matsuda in a group, and then stood next to the track and took out a stopwatch and raised his hand:

“GO!“

As the coach pressed the stopwatch, Yagami and Usashiki Jun rushed out almost at the same time, and after the two of them quickly ran thirty meters, they walked back from the side of the track.

At the same time, Chris and Matsuda-senpai also rushed out wearing the catcher's protective gear.

"You two come over here." The coach shouted at Yagami and Jun Izashaki.

"Yes." Yagami and the two of them hurriedly trotted back to the previous starting point, and before they could catch their breath, they were caught up on the track by the coach: "GO!"

Yagami had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush out again, and after ten rounds of repeated sprints, the instructor gave them a five-minute break, and then the next wave of sprint practice.

Chris, who was wearing a catcher protector, ran to the end, and like Senior Matsuda next to him, he was panting very hard.

By the time he was finished, watching Yagami and Jun Izaki in the final few rounds of the sprint, their speed had slowed down significantly.

"Yagami, Chris, Matsuda, you guys go to the cowshed, and Jun Izashaki goes to practice catching the ball and passing the ball." After the sprint practice, the coach made arrangements for Yagami and them.

"Yes!" Yagami said yes and walked to where they were supposed to go.

As soon as they walked into the cowshed, the coach in charge of the casting practice came over and said, "Yagami, next you and Kuraza are in a group, each group has fifteen balls, a total of four groups; Chris, you and Jinguji are in a group of twenty balls each, for a total of three sets. ”

"Yes." Yagami and Chris each found their new partners and began the next shooting practice.

At the pitcher position, Yagami took a few deep breaths and felt that the muscles in his arms and legs were not so tight, and then he threw the baseball in his hand according to the code that Kuraza Naoya compared to him.

After throwing a few balls in a row, Kuroza Naoya said to Yagami, "Senior, the tail strength of the ball is not strong enough, please pay more attention to the strength of the pitch." ”

"Okay" Yagami finished speaking, raised his legs and stepped forward, waved his arms, and threw the baseball out of his palm with all his might.

"Whew!"

The baseball sped from the pitcher's post and flew past Naoya Kuraza, the holster he chased just past and grazed the speeding baseball, causing it to lose its momentum and fall behind him.

"Smack!"

"I'm sorry." Yagami reached out and took the baseball passed back to him by Kuraza, and then apologized to the catcher; He was holding a baseball in his left hand and groping for the lines on it, and the sensitivity of his fingers had decreased due to fatigue.

At the same time, Chris's difficulty in catching Jinguji senior's pitch is similar to catching Yagami's, and Jinguji senior, who is also very tired, is not much better at ball control than Yagami now? As a result, Chris has to adjust his posture from time to time to better catch it.

After the casting practice, several managers of the baseball club came over with the rice balls that had been prepared and the cut watermelon, and beckoned everyone to come over to replenish some energy.

"Hey, Miyuki, Fujiwara and their specially made food, you just take one, okay?" Jun Izakiki saw that Miyukichi only picked one of the smallest rice balls and was about to leave.,Directly wrapped his arms around the other party's neck.,Reach out and pick up the largest rice ball and stuff it for Miyuki-ichimiya.。。

"No, no, I really don't need to." Yukiichi also struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the clutches of Senior Izuoshiki: "I really can't eat it, if the senior likes to eat, let's eat more......"

"You don't have to be polite to me, if you don't want to eat balls, you can still eat the watermelon brought by the managers?" Jun Izaki didn't want to let go of this annoying junior at all.
