For Kawakami, he had imagined ace very early on.
But I don't know since when, he rarely thinks about it. Miyuki once advised him, "Nori, you just need to think about comparing yourself with yourself. Every ball must be better than the last one. This is your greatest success."
'It doesn't matter, as long as the team can win. Being able to stay on a winning team is recognition for me. '
In the original Seido Pitcher Lineup, there were only a few people, except senior Tanba, and that was him. Therefore, although he was very nervous every time he was entrusted with an important task by the supervisor, he felt even more sad after losing it.
'How much can I help the team? ' Just a Dugout player.
But recently, he seems to have figured out his unique responsibility.
Kawakami walked towards the first-year trio, "No matter who is playing tomorrow, they are all playing on behalf of Seido. When standing in Pitcher's Mound, you have to deal with it with an ace mentality. And for those who are not playing, cheering in Dugout or always being ready to play is also an important way to participate. Four people are of the same mind. Isn't this the formula for our victory at Seido?"
"Wow——" Eijun's reaction made Kawakami a little embarrassed, "Senior Nori would say such a thing!"
Furuya followed suit and nodded.
"Baga!" Kōshū said, "Don't be so presumptuous with your seniors, okay?"
Then he turned to Kawakami Senior and said, "I will play in the last two innings tomorrow. Furuya will pitch two games in a row. There is a high probability that there will not be many innings tomorrow. Then the remaining innings need to be handed over to Kawakami Senior."
"The number of games... isn't that many?" Furuya was stunned when he heard this.
And Eijun jumped next to him. "There's me too!"
"Yeah!" Kawakami nodded, "Leave it to me."
Miyuki stood opposite, looking at the happy scene of the four people, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that I would have to rely on Nori in the end." Among Pitcher Lineup in this team, Kawakami has a very special identity, strong stability, and is still a second-year player. Now that the other two people are competing against Kōshū, it is most appropriate for Kawakami to take over as the first-year pitching leader.
Fortunately, Kawakami naturally woke up to this without any reminder from him.
Kawasaki Academy, an old public school that was left behind when the major private baseball elites emerged, has nevertheless maintained a certain level and has not completely quit.
When all schools followed Deviation Value and formed a red sea, Kawasaki Academy took a new approach and opened various blue-collar technical and engineering subjects. Because in Japan, many people choose to find a job after graduating from high school, and a job as a skilled worker is enough to support them.
For the students here, the future is clearly visible. They will have decades of work as soon as they leave school, so the clubs in their student days have become the last youth left to them.
Kawasaki's Baseball Club is located on a wasteland five kilometers away from the school. Every day when going to school or participating in club activities, a group of people need to run with heavy weights. But even if the conditions are so harsh, the children of Baseball Club are already used to it.
"Bump--" Someone hit the ball from a distance. Only Baseball Club's own members clapped and praised, and there were very few onlookers.
"Well done!" The person throwing the ball in front was their coach, who is Kawasaki's OB. "It would be great if you could hit the ball from Seido pitcher Fastball like this."
"Humph," Kawasaki Fourth Batter's muscles are not exaggerated. They are all exercised during work. It should be said that the members of Baseball Club basically have this practical style.
"Bump--" He typed out a long way again.
Then I was criticized wildly by my teammates in the queue behind me. "Hey~Hey~ I know you can do it, so can you get out of the way? You've already hit ten balls in a row."
Kawasaki's batting rule is that as long as you keep hitting the ball in the middle, you can continue to hit it.
It was a pity that Shiba went to the open space next to him to practice his swing. To be honest, every time he hit the baseball smoothly, he would have the illusion that maybe he could make a living from baseball.
After hearing what the four baseball players said, Coach Kawasaki patted his main gun on the shoulder with sincerity, "Then let's test it. It is estimated that several of Seido's team this year will be selected by the professional baseball team in the future. When you are playing, watch their performance more and see what kind of players the professional baseball team needs. From now on, whether you have to follow the established path or try hard, it will only be in the next two years."
So in Kawasaki Fourth Batter's phone, there is a long list of names, all given to him by the coach, "Miyuki Kazuya, Kōshū, Furuya Satoru."
Thinking of the string of names in his mind, the sound of the four bats waving their bats became louder, "Professional baseball?"
At the same time, among Seido and Bullpen, there is Kōshū that feels weird no matter how you vote.
"You care too much about your shoulders!" Miyuki patiently guided the pitcher who had just been released from the ban.
"Is there any?" Kōshū just didn't dare to be too fast when waving his arms.
'Sure enough, sealing the shoulder for so long still has a great impact on pitching,' Ochiai Coach stood aside, 'but the shoulder injury should have been completely healed long ago. If it is like this now, it may be a psychological problem. '
"Kōshū, don't think about your shoulders when pitching, focus on the rotation of your lower body. Trust your own pitching habits and slowly find the feeling."
The pitcher on the opposite side nodded, and he also discovered that every time he pitched, there would be a trace of attention drifting to 'how much effort should be used on the shoulders'.
"Then let me try." Kōshū raised his hand to the other side.
"Huh..." He took a deep breath, and the influx of air made the presence of his lungs in his chest particularly obvious.
'Relax your head and don't frown. '
'Relax your shoulders and let your arms hang naturally at your sides. '
'Relax your back and abdomen. If you have a belly, you can let it say hello to everyone. Unfortunately, you are a sports student and don't have such a thing. '
'Relax your legs and just feel the strength of the earth supporting the soles of your feet. '
Then——
Stepping out, when the body twists, the connected muscle system is already pulling on the upper body.
Then, the hip joint is twisted from the side facing home plate to facing home plate, the arm on the glove side is retracted to the side of the waist, and the chest is also turned forward with the right arm.
Fingers pick the ball.
Finally——
When the ball has been thrown, the remaining force allows the body's center of gravity to shift to the front supporting foot, and the entire throwing action is finally completed.
"Hou—this ball is pretty good."
Ochiai gave a few instructions, and Kōshū immediately put them into practice.
"Nice ball! I finally feel it, remember it, next ball, keep going!"
Miyuki also glanced at Ochiai Coach, leaving the impression in his mind that "this coach is really capable", and continued to pitch with Kōshū. The game is tomorrow, so there is really no time to be surprised.
When I got to work, I was asked for data. I sent a bunch of data non-stop, and kept asking a SQL that I couldn't change. I almost collapsed at that time! To make matters worse, the boss will use this data for a meeting tomorrow!!
BI ignored us at all! You can only change it yourself!
Then, I don't know what I changed correctly, but the SQL that kept reporting errors actually ran out of data. Oh my God, thinking about it, I actually didn't change anything at all, because I deleted it in the end!!
But I don't know why, but the database suddenly became humane!!
Suddenly it works!!
At noon, when everyone else was sleeping, I was running and counting. Maybe it just took pity on me!!
When the running progress is 1% instead of pausing due to an error, I suddenly want to hug my computer!!!
