After turning everyone into autism one day, Kōshū continued on the next day without any mercy, and even felt a little bit "abused to his teammates" in his heart.
"You guy, give me a good pitch!" Kuramochi pointed the bat at the opponent and shouted angrily. Slider, who had just turned to the outside corner of the bad ball area, made his swing miss.
"Sorry."
After the list of starters was announced today, we directly adapted to this Slider according to the starting order. Therefore, the number of people was reduced and the number of balls that everyone could see increased.
When Eijun was pulled aside, he was reluctant and yelled, "Can't I pitch that pitch too?" What he said was that he would also be assigned to pitch and it would be his turn to hit, so he would need to adapt to that Slider.
"You can only get one round at most, just play Pinch Hitter!" Kanemaru said so, clamping Eijun from behind and dragging it to other Batting Cage.
'Damn it, I want to fight you too! ' In fact, Kanemaru is no less unwilling than Eijun, but everyone is used to holding back.
It doesn't matter if he stands out from the 100-person Baseball Club or is selected into the 20-person roster. Whether he can play is the most critical thing.
"Damn it, I'm going to turn this anger into a long fight!" Eijun started swinging the ball at other people's pitches again.
"Sawamura——If you do this, wouldn't it be okay to go to the open space next to you and swing the bat?" Anyway, the effect is the same.
"Pfft hahahaha——"
"Hahahaha, Kimura, you have such a venomous tongue!"
Kimura is the third-year student of Room 4. He is used to seeing how Eijun behaves in front of Kōshū. Now he has learned the skill of complaining about Eijun.
"I'll hit it out!" Then amidst the jeers, Eijun used a short stick posture, and only retreated and swung the stick when the ball was close, "touch--"
"Wow - it really went out."
"Sure enough, Sawamura can only use this posture."
"Will the other party think we are lying?"
"There aren't many people he can deceive anyway."
These voices faintly reached Kōshū, and he was a little helpless.
Once upon a time, he made many moves in pushing Sawamura Eijun away, but now he seems to have become numb, and he no longer feels anything about this person's behavior of provoking him.
In fact, humans are social animals, just like dogs. They will repeatedly test the boundaries of their tolerance in group spaces. Therefore, it is also common for dog trainers to be trained by dogs as they are also social animals. For example, dogs tear down homes and force their owners to abandon their homes.
Kōshū feels that he has been trained by Eijun and has become a person who will never really get angry no matter what Eijun does.
"Here we go again, inner corner!"
The pitchers on Pitcher's Mound have begun to tell the hitters the direction of each ball. For no other reason than to do so, the efficiency is too poor. Tell them in advance where the ball is going, and their eyes can slowly follow it.
"Bump——" Senior Shirazu will follow up and hit the direction of the center field.
"Come again! Outer corner!"
Outside Seido's lively training ground, there was a heated discussion about eating melons. The ace's off-field pitching for two consecutive days had attracted their attention.
"That ball was always Slider, Seido's ace shot."
"Yes, are they conducting special training for Ichidai Third High's ace Slider?"
"The atmosphere of the battle is getting stronger and stronger."
As the game time approaches, Kōshū also changes from focusing on basic training to focusing on pitching training to prevent himself from getting handicapped during the game.
On April 25, the day before the game, Kōshū organized a meeting for all the pitchers. It was a meeting, but it was better to say it was a pre-war meeting for everyone to look at each other's pitches and adjust their conditions. At the same time, because a group of pitchers gathered together, the sense of security suddenly increased a lot.
Last fall, when organizing meetings, Kōshū still hid behind Kawakami Senior.
Entering the spring, especially after the Spring League, Kōshū's back straightened even more. It became everyone's consensus that the junior ace organized the meeting. In this regard, it was because Kawakami Senior was very cooperative.
"Pa—" In Bullpen, only one pitcher was pitching, and the others were standing around watching.
"Hahahaha, how to raise it? My Number 2 Ball will fall!" Eijun was the first to be watched.
"The trajectory is very beautiful. If the opponent is waiting for a straight ball, he will definitely not be able to catch up with this shot." Kōshū must admit that this Two-Seam Fastball throws better than himself.
"Indeed, but this requires that the straight ball condition of the day must be good enough to maximize the power of this Two-Seam Fastball." Kawakami Senior has always been objective.
"You can fight him out!" Furuya started to stir up trouble.
"Furuya, can't you honestly admit that I shot well? We are on the same team, what's the use of beating me out!" Eijun jumped up and forced Furuya's head back to escape.
Maybe I have experienced less setbacks, or seen them too little? When the roles of other people in the team are slowly being explored clearly, for example, Kōshū is the ace with peace of mind, Eijun is the relay ace, Kawakami Senior is the one who can make concessions for the team's victory but will not stop progressing, what about Furuya?
When everyone is in front of him, they will deliberately praise, "We have two starters, we are very relieved" and the like, but they also feel that the energy in his heart has not subsided at the moment, and he is a bit nervous.
The starter is not the ace, but no one would say that Furuya is the ace candidate. Because it is visible to the naked eye that Kōshū will spend his high school baseball years in "health and longevity". With Kōshū here, the ace candidate's statement is a bit false. Furuya himself will not believe it.
So everyone introduced the concept of starting in professional baseball as a special case to make Furuya feel that he is not a substitute, but just a different rotation.
"Next, it's Number 7 Ball, take a good look!" These two brushes, Eijun, are playing in Kōshū's ears all day long, and their ears are almost numb.
Number 7 Ball is the so-called improved version of Carter. It can be said that it has taken the same path as Kōshū, but because the ball speed of Eijun is slower, the trajectory of this ball will be more obvious.
"Very sharp!" Kōshū cheered.
"Ichidai Third High There will be a lot of left-handed hitters tomorrow. Carter, who is hitting his chest, had better pitch to the strike zone so that he can strike out while standing." Kawakami Senior reminded him heartily as usual.
"Yeah." Furuya agreed.
"Hahahaha, what should I do? Now I can't wait to get on the field. I want to see how they look when I strike out!" There is only one day left, and Eijun is already excited.
This is half the purpose of Kōshū. There is only one day left, and everyone is familiar with each other's pitching. This kind of gathering is nothing more than bragging when it's time to praise, and reminding when it's time to pay attention.
Make sure that all the pitchers are excited, and no one will have an explosive mentality, and he will have to wipe his ass when the time comes. Last spring, he wiped his butt so much that he almost became a dedicated terminator.
