Chapter 5 Talent ()

"Nice control the ball, I want to see what your limits are!

Click here to vote! "As he said that, he placed his glove on the upper right side of Sendō's eye, which is where the right-hand hitter's high ball is in the inside corner.

Coach Nakanishi knew very well that in order to cultivate children's confidence, they should give priority to praise, not to mention that Sendao itself deserves praise, and at the same time he wanted to test his limits, so he said this.

"call out!"

"Boom!"

"Yo Xi, Yo Xi, this time it's here!" Seeing that it still entered the inside corner accurately, he made the request again. This time it was also an inside corner, but it was on the edge of the inside corner, in the middle of the strike zone.

"call out!"

"Boom!"

"It's a little bit inside, but the ball path is not bad! If I hadn't known better, I wouldn't have believed you were a beginner. This is the first time I've seen such an accurate shot for the first time in more than ten years."

"Does that kind of thing require practice?" Xiandao asked.

Sendō in his previous life had nothing to do while watching baseball anime.

I have played a game in which one of the two walnuts is placed more than 2 meters away, the other is held in the hand, and the arm is swung with all the strength to hit the arranged walnuts.

At that time, it could be said that the average number of hits was two out of three, and even those that missed were still flying close to each other, so Xiandao did not think this kind of thing was difficult.

(This is a stupid thing I have done without any guilt, and the hit rate is not adulterated. Maybe I felt good at the time, I don’t know for sure, so I cover my face!)

"Let's stop here! Who else wants to..." Coach Nakanishi was helpless that Sendou didn't know himself, so he decided to ignore him and said to several other players who had volunteered to be pitchers.

"call out!"

"Boom!"

Before Coach Nakanishi finished speaking, Sendō had once again hit a straight ball right down the center.

Coach Nakanishi could tell that the ball speed had increased again this time.

"Isn't the posture smooth enough before?

It seems that as the posture adapts, the power consumed in useless places is reduced, and the ball speed will increase accordingly.

Judging from the ball just now, this kid's current top speed is about half a mile above 110. "Coach Nakanishi smiled lightly when he thought of this.

"Okay, Sendao has been replaced!" Coach Nakanishi shouted.

Sendao nodded and returned to the team with his gloves.

"Okay next one, Sasaki!"

Those who were tested later were all experienced in baseball at school, and they quickly learned to start the test after seeing Sendō's posture correction.

Generally speaking, the Chinese and Western coaches are very satisfied.

No one who comes to Wildcat is too weak, unless the family is relatively wealthy.

Maybe those who don’t know will not think anything of it, but if you follow the minor leagues, you will know that the Tokyo Wildcats Little League is called the Kanto Kings.

In the fifteen years since its establishment, it has won the Kanto Competition ten times, nearly won twice, won the semi-finals once, and won the top eight once.

As a former coach of a major league professional player, and still the team's brains catcher, there are few high-profile coaches at this level.

Therefore, the Wildcats are very attractive to young players, and players who have shown talent since childhood will also gather here because of the reputation of the coach.

Professional guidance, coupled with the professional-level tactical ability and quality of the Wildcat players, simply tortured the entire Kanto team to death.

Therefore, Chinese and Western coaches also have to raise the bar for admissions requirements. Tuition for the Wildcats is very expensive.

However, the opposite is true for outstanding players. After passing the entrance test, the tuition fee will be reduced or even much less than that of other teams.

If you don't pass the exam and still want to enroll, you have to pay a hefty full tuition fee.

Therefore, those who come to Wildcat must either have shown talent, have confidence in themselves, or have a wealthy family.

Similarly, many potentials are not shown in the fourth grade of elementary school, but if they show potential before retiring in the sixth grade, they will get a certain amount of refund.

No one has any doubts about Coach Zhongxi’s judgment on the amount of exemptions for students. He is not short of money and running Little League is just a hobby.     Similarly, this team requires more coordination, so it has never had a lower-level main selection.

Xiandao is a full-time student. After observing him for a while, Coach Nakanishi gave him free tuition and considered him a true disciple.

There were very few pitchers tested, so it was over quickly, followed by a comprehensive test.

However, after a few days, Coach Nakanishi, who had already judged Sendao's athletic ability, asked Sendao to finish last in every event, so as not to affect the performance of others.

最后仙道的成绩非常吓人，远投达到了惊人的87米，50米冲刺6秒1，100米是11秒8。

In the opinion of Nakanishi's coach, Sendō's 50-meter performance was far from reaching the limit.

The reason is that Xiandao's explosive power allows him to reach full speed after running more than 5 meters and less than 10 meters. Normal 50-meter athletes cannot reach full speed for meters when running meters.

It should be said that although sprinters need explosive power, they do not need such high explosive power. Generally, only runners who play basketball or baseball will need such terrifying explosive power.

But similarly, it does not mean that having instant explosive power can make you a sprinter. A sprinter's later acceleration, final charge and instant burst have nothing to do with each other.

For example, a basketball player with explosive power only needs two steps to go from the three-point line to the inside. That is to say, 10 meters only takes more than one second, but a 30-meter athlete only takes 3 seconds for the first meters.

In other words, when they start from zero, the first 10 meters will reach a speed of about 1 or 7 meters in 8 second.

But at the end of the sprint, the fastest in the world can reach 14 meters. This involves instant bursts and sustained bursts.

However, Xiandao is obviously an anomaly. Judging from his results, he can show off his instant burst at about 50 meters, but he did not burst out at full speed in the first half of the 100-meter run. Otherwise, at his age, his legs would be weak in the later stages.

"If his results were announced, I'm afraid track and field coaches across the country would go crazy!"

"Well, this kid is too thin, and his leg muscles have not been exercised. He deserves to be a volunteer to go home, otherwise the 100 meters should be faster." Coach Nakanishi had several thoughts in his mind at this time.

"That's it for today! Xiandao, please stay for a while. I want to talk to you about your position. The others are dismissed!"

After everyone dispersed, Coach Nakanishi brought him into the house.

"Sendao, your achievements are too outstanding. Except for second baseman, third baseman and shortstop, which are not suitable for left-handers, you have the physical condition to play all positions.

But I'd like to know if you have any location requirements? "Coach Nakanishi said earnestly.

The Japanese attach great importance to children's personal opinions. Even primary school students use discussion instead of forcing them to do something.

"There are no requirements for defense, but I give priority to attack."

"At this stage, any position can be used, but our team's fielders are very good and will not be replaced easily.

Therefore, there are only two positions: pitching, which requires the number of innings pitched, and catcher, which is difficult to cultivate at the elementary school level.

Our team's catchers are weak and our pitching staff is strong. That's relative. Your ball is enough to become our team's trump card.

I don't know your striking prowess yet.

So, tomorrow I will have you try your hitting on the pitching machine.

For fielding, I recommend you practice pitching and catching first.

As for what happens in the end, it still depends on your performance after teaching.

The only thing for sure is that your pitcher should be fine as our ace pitcher. "

At this time, Coach Nakanishi had made up his mind.

Let Sendō become the first fourth-year regular player in the history of the Wildcats, which relies on team tactics to attack and defend.

"I understand! I'll be rude (go back) first." Xiandao still had the same indifferent attitude.

"okay, see you tomorrow!"

Xiandao bowed slightly and left.
