"Brother", Lang Zhi asked lightly, "Compared with that Sawamura, am I so far behind?"
Kōshū hesitated, and the day finally came. Just like a child will call his mother when he grows up, he has raised his younger brother for a long time and started to call him elder brother. This was the first time that Lang Zhi did not call him elder brother in a sarcastic tone. If it were not for the atmosphere at the moment, Kōshū would have wanted to make a fuss.
"You are a shortstop, why are you competing with a pitcher?" Lang Zhi then glared at him, "Okay, okay, just in terms of the completion of the two of you, you are much better than him in the fielding job, and he is As soon as you hit Strike Zone, in terms of hitting, you are much better than him, and he Sacrifice Bunt is playing well. At other times, the distance between the bat and the ball is more than 20 centimeters."
"Okay, so it's just because the team needs pitchers now that I can't get into First String?"
Kōshū can't push Lang Zhi's footsteps, that child must make him explain clearly now.
"Hey, temporary gains and losses may depend on luck, but long-term gains and losses all depend on true strength. This autumn, let's set our goals at that time."
Lang Zhi lowered his head and thought. This look made Kōshū a little flustered. If this guy couldn't bear it and wanted to quit Baseball Club, his family would definitely feel that they were being bullied again or something, and they would probably come to the supervisor to find out about the situation. They were so confident in handing over Lang Zhi to him. If something went wrong, it would definitely affect his reliable impression that he had been operating for a long time.
Just at this time, there was a commotion at the Indoor Training Field entrance.
"Eijun? What happened to him?"
A group of people gathered over there, none of the First String seniors left. Standing in front of them was a face that looked lost and mixed with guilt.
"So what if you go in, can it affect the supervisor's decision?" Captain Yuuki's words were very harsh, penetrating the distance between the two waves of people.
'What happened today? Did these two people work together to mess with people's mentality? 'In order to prevent two children with obvious emotional problems from meeting each other, Kōshū didn't want to watch the fun anymore. He pressed down Lang Zhi who had just raised his head and took him away by force. "Hurry up and take a shower. I'll rub your back today."
Haruichi and Furuya were waiting for them in front, but they left together as if they had forgotten Sawamura.
It was only the next day that Kōshū understood what they were arguing about.
"However, I have figured it out now. If I can't change, I will carry the aspirations of the third grade and move forward together." It was rare to see determination on Sawamura's face, which had always been contentless, and everyone was a little surprised.
"So, do you already have a plan?" Kōshū was so busy.
"I don't know," everyone gasped, but then Sawamura added, "Everyday training, no matter what kind of tasks are given to me, I will complete it twice as much."
"Isn't it quite goal-oriented? So don't think with your own head. Senior Chris will make you too tired to think about all the nonsense." Kōshū seemed to mean something.
"What?" Of course the person who heard it was Lang Zhi, who was most familiar with him. Then he thought again, "Senior Chris must have made some plan for the two of them. Oh, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
"Ah?" Even Furuya came back to his senses.
"Haha, senior Chris came to me yesterday to discuss the pitcher's menu, because I gave lessons to these two rookie pitchers before. In short, what I taught you must be thoroughly implemented in training. You must have practiced." He seemed to be a little gloating at the corner of his mouth. He had been half-pushing and half-pulling the two of them for a long time, and now someone has finally come to take over. Why not do it.
"Eh? Senior Chris is here to teach us?" Sawamura said and started to panic again.
"Well, well, let's let Matsushita go for the next few days, you will suffer later," Kōshū was thinking about Training Camp a week later. Although he only learned a few words, he could also read the harshness of training from it, but this is the life of an athlete.
Shuangtou started to pry with Kōshū again, and kept pestering him to ask about the future arrangements. Apart from the commotion, there were Haruichi who was watching them with a smile, and Lang Zhi who had been busy eating since the beginning.
"What's wrong, Lang Zhi."
"What else could it be? You all went to First String, and I am the only one left in Second String. I am not even qualified to be in Dugout." Lang Zhi complained very lightly, and he had already adjusted his mood.
"Speaking of this, I envy you Lang Zhi. You have a brother who will think about you. My brother didn't say anything to me, which made me doubt whether I was qualified to enter First String." In fact, what Haruichi was looking at that day was not the big action at the entrance, but the two brothers standing alone together. "It's great. When will my brother talk to me like this." '
Lang Zhi stared at Haruichi twice and judged that he was indeed not making sarcastic remarks. "Well, you have already entered First String anyway, so don't doubt your qualifications. As for your brother's affirmation, if you can persist in First String's training, you will naturally get it."
After dealing with the two rookie pitchers, Kōshū started his training plan before Training Camp. Training Camp meant double the amount of training for him. He had to study the left fielder's fielding while also taking into account his own pitching. In addition, he also had to increase cooperation with other fielding positions, so now is the last time.
"What's wrong? Call me over." Miyuki was wearing regular clothes and walked into Indoor Training Field.
"Training Camp before Training Camp."
When he said this, Miyuki understood that this guy was really playing baseball with his brain, which was very different from other pitchers on the team.
"So, what content do you want Training Camp?"
"I want to add a Slider, or make my Two-Seam Fastball sharper." In short, he wants to add a ball type that can occupy a certain proportion of his arsenal. Currently, he has more than 65% probability of throwing straight balls, followed by Carter and speed change.
The probability of a straight ball appearing is too high, and they were unable to react in the early stage. But after his appearances increase, other schools will definitely be able to obtain his pitching data, and then specifically target his straight balls.
If it doesn't work in one round, then focus on dealing with more than 5 rounds. Someone will definitely find out and beat him out. He has already seen talented players from all over the world in junior high school. In this regard, Kōshū is definitely not arrogant.
"Let's see, can you Slider?" Miyuki was not wearing protective gear, squatting opposite and opening his gloves.
"... Aren't you going to wear protective gear?" Kōshū didn't want to injure his own catcher on the eve of the game, holding the ball in his hand with an uncooperative attitude.
"Okay, okay, wait for me." So, why is this guy so confident that it won't hit him? No, or maybe that guy is confident in himself and thinks he will definitely catch the ball?
After the opponent's protective gear was complete, Kōshū shouted excitedly to the opponent, "Here it comes, the first Slider!" He studied the Slider videos of many professional players and confidently threw the first ball.
The shooting method of Slider is similar to that of a straight ball, and the ball speed is also the closest to a straight ball among Changeup. The difference is that the force to rotate the baseball clockwise is exerted to produce lateral displacement. Kōshū said in his heart, 'side down, side down', but as soon as he released the ball, he secretly screamed something bad, as if he was digging a sweet potato with a very fast ball speed.
"Ah——" A scream came from the opposite side as he was hit by a ball.
Kōshū covered his face with gloves, so I asked you to wear protective gear. I really have never tried Slider once.
Miyuki The first act of The Passion has officially begun.
