Chapter 39 Changes and Interesting Stories from the Past

"I am back!"

"Welcome back, Sen-chan!"

"How's it going? Is there any way to quickly make us stronger?" Sawamura asked immediately.

"no!"

"However, I got a lot of help, you will know it! You continue to study! I have to think about it first!"

Xiandao, who had just returned home, casually threw himself on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought.

"Just practice your short game like this. It seems that these guys have found some tricks. I can't do anything. I don't have that kind of thing in my arsenal. Isn't that guy Eijun's Martian explanation for us mortals? Understand."

“That uncle has already helped me solve the problem of distinguishing good and bad pitches in the dugout and the timing of running bases!

All that's left is fielding. They also need the explosive menu. Although it won’t have much effect in a short period of time, at least they can adapt to this intense consumption earlier! There should be some effects next summer, right? "

"Make up your mind! I'm just a dabbler myself, but I can only do it."

……

Sendao lay on the sofa and thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind to change the training plan.

"Eijun!"

"what happened?"

"I'm going to add another training today! When we practice explosive power in the evening, let's bring everyone along!"

"Take this opportunity to join everyone!"

"I am enough on my own."

"Why are you so ashamed!"

"Shut up!"

"Tch, if you don't want to say it, don't say it!"

"do not forget!"

"Hi!"

The independent practice that night remained unchanged, and Ashin's catching was beginning to make people satisfied.

The next day

"Today we will start to allocate positions, but there are no big changes. Takada, you and Wakana will swap positions and the others' positions will remain unchanged."

The exchange of Takada and Wakana is the exchange of the fat left fielder Takada and the first baseman Wakana. Takada's body is not suitable for being an outfielder.

Wakana can follow the ball, and for modern baseball tactics where everyone likes to play to the right field to prevent double plays and increase processing time, the left field is not very defensive, but there will also be fly balls flying over, so it is also You can't let go of a fat man who can't run.

"We can't do outfield fielding exercises here, but the outfield fielding requirements for junior high school students are not high. They mainly focus on fly balls and flat fly balls. You can still practice it simply. You only need to stand a little outside the infield to practice. The main purpose is to practice recovery. Bit and catch the ball.

It's mainly about infield fielding. We will start training together today, and someone will help us contact junior high schools in Tokyo to play practice games. How many games we can play before leaving depends on your training results. Open your mouth to remind you, let your body remember it, and turn your technique into instinct! "

"Oh!!!"

"Then let's begin!"

……

"Start with the runner on second base!"

"bump!"

After the training started, the sound of fairy reminders kept echoing on the court!

"The shortstop goes to third base to fill in!"

"One more goal!"

"Left field!"

"Yo Xi! Nice catch! Another ball!"

"Shortstop!"

"What are you doing? Ohno, go to second base to cover, and then pass to first base!"

"Right field!" "Don't take your eyes off the ball for a moment, or you'll miss the ball!"

"One more goal!"

"Okay that's it!"

"In the left field, third base is empty. In this case, you have to go to third base to fill in. The same goes for other outfields. If the ball hits the infield and you are unguarded, you have to come over and fill in. Do you understand?"

"Hi!!!"

In this way, fielding practice, rest, bunt practice, rest, and so on, until everyone shouts to run in the evening, the formal training of this day is not over.

……

In the evening's independent practice, everyone else practiced hitting and swinging as normal.

After a few days of practice, Ashin was able to catch the 130-kilometer ball, so he and Xiandao carried out the next stage of practice. Xiandao once again started one-on-one guidance with unilateral indoctrination and training. It seemed that he himself was still I enjoyed it, but it’s not clear what Ashin was thinking.

“Don’t fish for it when you catch the ball!

In addition to bouncing the ball, keep your elbows out at all times!

Don't turn your wrist over!

Just because you were lazy and didn't keep your body in the strike zone, you used your hands to scoop the ball from the side! "

"The waist is squatted too low!"

"The reaction is too slow! Are you already tired at this level?"

"Don't miss the ball, use your body to block the ball, and never roll behind you!"

……

"Let's take a rest first!"

"Oh! I'm so exhausted!" Ashin said as he took off his mask.

"That, Sen-chan!"

"Ok?"

"I have always wanted to ask if this ball machine is broken. There are no good balls all the time. They are all balls that deviate a lot!"

"Of course, I adjusted it deliberately. Eijun's ball can be dodged better than this! Although you can't let him throw it with all his strength in a short period of time, otherwise you still won't be able to catch it. I will try to let you do it in the last year." I can catch his full throw! Maybe I can catch it!" Xiandao himself didn't have much confidence, but he definitely needed encouragement.

"Forehead!"

"Tired?"

"Actually, it's okay!"

"Don't be brave! I didn't even catch half of your balls before and ran away!"

"Running away is..."

"Don't worry about such a small thing!" Xiandao said immediately when he realized that he had made a mistake.

"The more you tell me not to care, the more I want to know!" Ashin could only complain in his heart. He was afraid of telling the truth to avenge his personal revenge. There is no doubt that he is this kind of person!

"You must be very tired too! Your hands are shaking. Because the catcher uses muscles that are not used much, including the waist and legs, it is still very tiring! For example, the wrist flip just mentioned, the catcher's posture is just like that. It’s very uncomfortable. It’s really not a good defensive position! It’s just miserable!”

"Sen-chan was in Little League, that famous family. Did he ever serve as a catcher? I heard Ei-chan say he wasn't a pitcher? Well, ACE, four-bat?"

"Who do you think I am? I've played every position except second base, third base, and shortstop... and played a little bit! But I know a little bit about all the positions!

After all, in order to prevent pitchers from getting too tired, follow-up pitching is adopted. I was a four-bat player and certainly couldn't replace me. When other pitchers were pitching, I might be the catcher or go to the outfield, or the first baseman, but there was a fixed first baseman at that time! But these were just exercises, and the only official competition I participated in was one practice match!

What is the opponent's name? ...I forgot, regardless of the name of the team, it was too boring so I don’t remember the specifics. I just remember that winning was very easy. I had no interest in paying attention to these details at the time! "

"..."

"Actually, Ashin, you have worked very hard, ten times harder than me. Back then, I was thinking about how to skip training all day long!..."

"Oops, I wanted to make it easier for him but accidentally let it slip!" Xiandao suddenly stopped mid-sentence and thought to himself.

"Okay, now that your hands are like this, let's call it a day!"
