Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 50 The lineup is determined

Due to Sendao's deliberate decision, Coach Nakanishi had almost no chance to talk to him, so the next day's training ended here.

……

"Pitcher No. 2?" Sawamura asked in confusion when Sendō mentioned what Coach Nakanishi said.

"You can count as participating in the competition in the summer. You should know the rules and competition schedule, right?"

"What is that? I don't know!"

"Well, I don't expect you to know, then..." He said and looked at the others, and then the large group of people shook their heads collectively.

"Hey, what were you guys doing before?"

"Well, I used to just look at the opponent for the first match in the preliminaries, and then go to the game according to the time. I didn't pay attention to the schedule at all!" Ashin said awkwardly.

"Okay, in short, we need a No. 2 pitcher. Let's start with throwing and catching the ball. Everyone except Ashin will test it one by one! Ashin, you come and catch the ball!"

"Oh!"

So everyone began to receive pitching training one by one, although the results were not ideal. In the end, center fielder Omura and right fielder Aoki were chosen as the second and third pitchers. As for the pitching content, they were basically quick.

Later, Sawamura was given a plank balance training method, and the infield defense was also strengthened.

In the following days, the team's proficiency in identifying good and bad balls, bunts, base running, and grasping the referee's penalty standards has skyrocketed. After all, it is normal for training in actual combat to improve rapidly.

It can be said that in terms of fielding details, it has crushed some junior high schools and teams that treat baseball as a club activity. Although the pitching problem still exists, Sawamura must restrain his pitching to prevent the ball from wandering around. The pitchers No. 2 and No. 3 are practicing slow speed. Although the ball is slow, it has a top-to-bottom angle that makes it not very hitable. In addition, this team's infield defense is good, and it is worth looking forward to in the future. Although the slow ball of the two is still half-assed at present.

The week-long joint training with the Wildcats came to an end soon, and the Wildcats also temporarily stopped training and began to contact other Little Leagues and even Youth Baseball for practice games.

Since both Little League and Youth Baseball have the same length of infield, they can play. Of course, only teams like the Wildcats have the ability to compete with Youth League teams.

Sendao also knew that watching that kind of game would not help them, so while resuming normal training, he increased the level of running-in.

"Third base needs to be faster when catching the ball. Don't make me say it over and over again. And when passing the ball, it needs to be low so it's fast enough!"

"Axin has to shout out every ball. Where to pass it is sometimes very complicated because of the presence of runners. Did that uncle also teach you? How to direct according to the position of the runner. Now is the time to practice, don't When waiting for the game, if there is a hesitation or a command error, you may lose points."

"I understand!"

"That's it!"

……

"Okay! Omura, Aoki, Ashin, you two go to the cowshed, and the others will rest first."

Baseball training is repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

……

"That's it for today! Everyone's basic movements are already very good. We will start to make adjustments tomorrow. We will do 5 kilometers in the morning and then pass the ball. We have done less recently. We start from the distance from home plate to first base and go straight to the outfield. Passing the ball to the home plate, this is half an hour, and then the bunt, which is also half an hour. In the end, all the time is fielding practice and base running practice! Be prepared to crawl back!!!"    "We will not lose. ! Come on!!!" Sawamura immediately shouted.

The atmosphere among others immediately became heated with Sawamura's passionate roar.

"Baga, you are really passionate!" Xiandao thought to himself.

"We will go back in half a month. Before going back, I will ask my uncle to arrange a practice match for the teams in Tokyo that are still in club activities. After a week, we will all go camping at the beach. How about spending three days and two nights? Then come back. Rest and prepare for practice games.”

"Long live!!! Long live! Long live! Long live!" This time everyone shouted together.

"Going to the beach! Long live!" Sawamura shouted again after following the others!

"Don't go now! Baga!"

"Is that so?" Sawamura said innocently.

"You didn't listen at all! You Baga!"

The fatigue of such a day is swept away in such noise!

……

"Damn it! Whether it's pushing or pulling, I always feel like I have nowhere to vent my strength. Is my striking posture too bad?" Xiandao muttered in the room at night while others were still practicing on their own. Looking through the information about the attack.

"It's too troublesome to practice this,... and this, isn't there a hitting method that is both easy to learn and easy to use?" I was too lazy to hit the ball that was a bit enchanting to me, so I got entangled again.

In the end, Sendō didn't find what he wanted, so he had no choice but to give up on improving his striking posture and planned to continue using the basic posture. He had been using the American fishing style.

Of course, it is different from the out-of-control fishing in front of the garden. The American method of fishing is to make the ball fly farther. Major league hitters began to hit such high and far balls, so the importance of outfielders began to become The proportion increased.

Similarly, not everyone in the Wildcats’ Chinese and Western coaches teaches this way. This style of play is generally not suitable for Asians. Asians are more suitable to play directly rather than from the bottom up. After all, this style of play affects strength and whipping. The intensity requirements are very high, and neither Ichiro Suzuki nor Coach Nakanishi use this style of play in their current service.

Sendō, who estimated the time and went downstairs early, walked into the bathhouse while listening to everyone chatting and went out with a bat. Fumino also appeared on the court on time.

"You don't have to follow me every day, right?"

“The stars here are beautiful!”

"That's it! It's up to you!"

"Akila! You've been playing every day lately. Do you find baseball interesting?"

"I don't know! If there really was a pitcher like this in the same era, maybe it would be interesting! The excitement of facing a strong enemy is the best. Who would like a game that can be won by ordinary people?"

"That's right!"

　It's a bit late today. I ask for favorites and votes every day. Thank you.
