Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 87 Current Pitching Strength

"The first is the four-seam straight ball, which can be divided into three types according to different speeds." Takano held the ball and said briefly. Supervisor Kataoka has already analyzed his pitching video, so his straight ball is still the same. very understanding.

Immediately afterwards, he took hold of the ball and used very smooth movements to throw out all the energy in the body.

"Bump—" the ball twirled restlessly in Miyuki's glove before it stopped, "nice ball! Your ball power is even stronger than what I've seen before!"

"It's already more than 140 kilometers." Danba and Kawakami next to him both stopped. They had heard of the pitcher's name before, but baseball in high school and junior high school is very different. They didn't think that this kid would be in the It threatened their appearance at the beginning, but now it seems——

"Next is a high-speed straight ball." Takano threw the ball again, with the same shot point and the same swinging movement, but the ball had a very obvious upward drift. Director Kataoka was prepared, so he didn't even move his eyebrows.

"Low-speed straight ball, I don't usually shoot this very much, but sometimes I will throw this ball to cover the change-up ball." The speed has not changed. Compared with the float ball just now, there is a very obvious drop.

"Then there are some straight ball change pitches. I didn't really get into baseball until the second year of junior high school, so in order to prevent my pitching posture from getting out of shape, the Little League coaches only let me throw straight ball change balls." Since Kataoka became a coach , I have always heard the name of Kinoshita Junior League coach Ninomiya, and I heard that his club has equipment, coaches and advanced ideas from the major leagues. Miaozi, but since that incident, there have been fewer Kinoshita students.

"Carter——" Takano moved a few seams a little, and threw it exactly like a straight ball. I saw that the first half of the ball was almost exactly the same as the straight ball. In the prepared glove.

"You can confuse people even more with this ball now."

Gao Zhiye raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, the sound of the ball plunging into the glove was very nice, only at this time, he felt that Miyuki was not so annoying, and even felt a touch of sympathy.

"Second seam." Takano's current second seam ball does not drift so much horizontally. If you want the ball to have a larger displacement, you need to have a flatter arm when throwing the ball, but this will expose the type of the ball. And it is easy to disrupt the current pitching posture, so it can only be an auxiliary ball.

On the other hand, Tanba and Kawakami no longer practiced. They went to the other side to watch the new junior pitch. With a sigh of relief, fortunately this guy still has to grow.

Hold your fingers into an OK shape. This ball is only about 120, which is in stark contrast to the previous pitch, and it falls violently to the inside corner of the right hitter.

"This changeup is very good. It turns out that you really let him move laterally." This OK changeup was practiced by Miyuki with Takano. At that time, it only fell vertically, and then it has never been done again. I was arrested for him, but I didn't expect him to practice it. "How did you improve?"

"It's very simple. If you want him to move laterally, you just need to apply lateral force." It was easy to say, Gao Zhiye concealed the process of exploration.

"Not bad, I'm thinking about it."

Miyuki was still nagging, but Takano had already turned around and reported to Supervisor Kataoka: "Coach Kataoka, this is the type of ball I have mastered so far, because since U15, my subjects have been speed and physical strength, so Didn't learn new balls."

'physical strength?Probably Ninomiya's coach's suggestion. Kataoka thought, since high school started, baseball has a nine-inning system, so for players promoted from junior high school, the first big test is physical strength, "It doesn't matter, but I heard from Takashima-sensei that your biggest characteristic is Natural accuracy."

'Accuracy?Possession of the ball? Kawakami's ears perked up.

"Yes, you can cast to the level of Jiugongge."

"Haha, supervisor, this guy is being humble. His nickname in Little League was 'Mr. Precision-Guided Missiles'."

"Senior Miyuki..." Lang Zhi on the side didn't know why, but suddenly regretted choosing to live in the same dormitory with Miyuki, such a person who was the first to show off before someone else opened his mouth, wouldn't he be rejected by his teammates? Don't implicate yourself.

"Then, Miyuki, we will conduct the test according to the position of the Jiugong grid." Director Kataoka said.

Facts have proved that Miyuki is not exaggerating. Takano can almost cast a position accurately, but he is a little bit disgusted with Miyuki. He clearly said that he would place a nine-square grid. Just like showing off, the other seniors are still watching. He doesn't want to be given a bad impression before he officially enters the baseball club.

"Okay, I understand." Supervisor Kataoka stopped the show. He had initially added Gao Zhiye to the ranks of the first army in his heart, and the rest was to adapt to the game. He glanced at it with a calm face It is probably not a problem for Gao Zhiye, after all, he is a pitcher who has seen big scenes as an ace.

"Then next, Sasaki Langzhi!"

Lang Zhi, who was eating melon next to him, was called, and he shuddered violently, and quickly stood up straight: "Hi——"

Takano raised his forehead, the voice was too loud, Director Kataoka also paused, and then said: "Then it's your turn, since you were a shortstop before, let's go to the field to see your basic skills of catching the ball. "

Just now outside, it was the break time at the end of the round. Members of the First Army saw the supervisor bringing Miyuki and two fresh faces to the court.

"That tall man is the junior pitcher who has been communicating with you?" Juno Isashiki saw Takano greeting him, and Kusuki raised his hand in response.

"Yes, and I will move to my dormitory later."

"What about the other one, what does Director Kataoka want to test him for?"

"It's my brother-kun, he's also a shortstop."

"Huh? So it's to test his ability to catch the ground ball? Hey, he can catch the flat fly ball, and his reflexes are pretty good." He caught the key word in his ears, and Kuramochi looked over.

On the field, everyone gathered around to rest, so Lang Zhi was the only one in the center of sight. At the beginning, his face was stiff, and he kept looking at Gao Zhiye, but the other party shook his head slightly in the direction. This situation can only be resolved by himself.

But soon, after concentrating on dealing with the pilling, he ignored the nervousness.

"I've caught more than 20 balls in a row, what are you capable of doing, Kuramochi, it seems that your position is about to be lost." Said the most backstabbing words in the most gentle words, this is Ryosuke Kominato.

"Senior Ryosuke!" Kuramochi protested.

"Ah, fell down, what a loud voice, this first grader, he is very motivated." Affirmation from Team Zhe, he is the type who will work hard when he sees others serious.

"Wuga." But after he got up, his movements were obviously a lot slower, and it seemed that he couldn't do it anymore. I don't know if the meaning of Senior Zeng Zi was passed on to others.

"Just stop here." After handling more than 30 balls in a row, the child was already out of breath. Director Kataoka was naturally delighted. Today, these two children are good candidates, especially Takano, the fastest 140 , with sensitive fingertips, good speed, and two well-finished changeup balls, and his accuracy, ace experience, and mentality, which can be directly used as immediate combat power in the future to fill the current Qingdao High School pitching team lack of.

"Currently, the team of the first army is training with the goal of the capital meeting in April. You two, practice with the second army during the spring break."

"Hi——" the two brothers replied in unison, and after the rest of the first army was over, everyone forgot about the newcomers. Now they don't have time to think about others. At present, this spring meeting must be a shame.
