Chapter 21: I want to join!

Miyauchi Keisuke's catching skills are inferior to Miyuki and Chris.

Previously in the Seidou, no one was sure exactly.

In the previous assessment, it is like everyone took the questions for the second grade of primary school, and it was naturally difficult to distinguish who is academically better than the other. Who doesn't know the answer to one plus one?

But once the test questions are raised to the third grade, the fourth grade, and even the middle school and high school.

The gap will come out naturally.

Compared to Chris and Miyuki, Miyauchi is indeed slightly inferior in his catching.

Of course, these gaps are not insurmountable, if you give him enough time, he will definitely be able to catch Sawamura's pitching perfectly.

It's just that what Seidou lacks the most right now is time.

With barely a month to go before the start of the summer tournament, how can you give time to Miyauchi until he becomes familiar with Sawamura's pitching?

In fact, Ota really admired Miyauchi, but he couldn't say anything for Miyauchi's defense now.

There is indeed a gap between Miyauchi Chris and Miyuki.

Moreover, the difference is not simple. It didn't matter if Tanpa was the Ace in the past, Miyauchi could catch Tanpa's ball anyway.

But if Sawamura is the Ace, then the problem is bigger.

Kataoka chose silence and said nothing.

Ota didn't know what the superintendent was thinking, but he looked at it according to Kataoka's previous actions. He was very decisive at crucial moments, but in the period before the decision, he would give everyone an equal opportunity.

If he were in a normal school, Sawamura's Ace position would have been finalized long ago.

But now, Tanpa still has a chance.

If it is a normal school, Miyauchi will definitely be eliminated.

But in Seidou, Kataoka is the Coach, there is still a chance for Miyauchi, but it is hard to say.

In the days before the results were announced, Kataoka never took the initiative to eliminate anyone.

This can put pressure on those who haven't been eliminated to train hard and maintain their advantage.

At the same time, it can also give hope to those who are behind, Let them go after them.

***

On the fourth day of the training camp, Furuya went to the bullpen and started pitching.

Chris, Miyuki, and Miyauchi, the three of them were like hawkers vying for business, taking turns to catch the ball from Furuya.

Furuya was naturally flattered.

Is his pitching so expected and welcomed by the seniors?

Since joining Seidou, he has been crushed by Sawamura, but he did not expect that the lame luck will finally turn around now.

How can He know there that these three guys were just using him as a reference for the exam?

Before the last exam, of course, they had to prepare well.

Sawamura honed his new batting stance more, which is very useful. When physical exhaustion is too great, he can also continue to contribute to the team.

And when he has enough physical strength, he can also use it alternately with his original Swinging Form.

Sawamura's ability to learn new things is particularly fast. This may be directly related to his practice of a variety of breaking balls. His ability to adapt to the difference of ball types and swinging form is particularly strong.

It's just that this swinging form also has setbacks.

He can't use the strength of his waist and legs like other batters, and can only rely on two arms to swing the Bat, so the power of the swing is very limited.

On the other side, after a few days of the Camp, the guys who helped the first string to train also began to show fatigue.

On the fifth day, fielding practice at 2 pm.

The batters are in groups of three, with fifty balls being exchanged. More than a dozen people were in the field, and after two rounds, the batters began to show signs of exhaustion.

And the players who are training fielding are alive and kicking.

"Come again!"

"Didn't you just eat?"

"It is because of this lack of spirit that you cannot be promoted to the first string."

The fielders who were training in the fielding practice actually started to provoke the second string batters who were helping in the practice.

This is just bullying!

Whether it is preserving their pride or they are just pissed off, the batters of the Second String are even more desperate to swing the bat and hit the ball.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the people who helped with the training were already sweating profusely.

On the field, the fielders were still defiantly provocative.

"Oi, come again!"

"I am not tired at all!"

On the strike zone.

"These monsters!"

At present, there are also the first baseman Captain Yuuki Tetsuya, second baseman Kominato Ryosuke, third baseman Masuko Toru, shortstop Kuramochi Youichi, center fielder Isashiki Jun, two outfielders Sakai Ichirou and Shiratsu Kenjirou.

And first-year backup second baseman, Kominato Haruichi.

In just five days, Kominato Haruichi has surpassed most of the substitutes of the Seidou First String and became a main player.

Other substitutes like Maezono and Yamazaki have been eliminated because of exhaustion.

Even if they are leagues above the others. It's just that everyone is choking on fire, and those batters are not stupid. Of course, they aim at people who are easy to get out of the game. They were targeted like this, and they were quickly dismissed.

Haruichi has not left the field, it is not that he has not been targeted, but the ball at second base was robbed by Ryosuke, and the pressure on Haruichi has become less.

"How slow, the ball flew out!"

After grabbing the ball, Ryosuke also mocked his younger brother.

Even so, Kominato Haruichi's physical strength was exhausted, at least he couldn't provocatively let the batters hit more balls like the others.

"That is enough for you!"

At this time, Boss Kataoka rolled up his sleeves and stood up.

"For the next fielding practice, I will do it alone."

At the location of the batting, Kataoka suddenly burst out with a strange pressure.

On the field, the players felt a momentum.

But they also showed hideous faces one by one.

"Bring it on!"

"Ugaah!"

"Give me the ball!"

"Even if it is you, we will not hold back."

Several third-year main force did not cower in the slightest.

Even after two hours of fielding practice, they still didn't hesitate.

After all, Kataoka is only one person.

And they are in various positions, and they are fully guarded.

"First-year Kominato Haruichi, go and rest."

Kataoka said calmly.

Kominato Haruichi really didn't want to leave, but his physical strength had reached the limit, and it would be meaningless to stay on the field.

"Don't refuse the Coach's kindness, the next training is very cruel, and the Coach is also afraid that you will be injured."

I'm afraid you will get hurt!

These words were not said by Ryosuke but the smart Haruichi can understand it, and it was like heavy iron ingots smashing on Kominato Haruichi's body.

The pitchers and catchers who had finished pitching training also gathered.

Tomorrow is the start of the practice games, and the remaining two hours of training are canceled.

Now everyone has become spectators, and their task is to watch the showdown between the superintendent and the fielders.

Don't underestimate this. Watching baseball is sometimes very similar to playing a game.

Watching other people's tactics, strategies, and skills is helpful in learning them.

This is just as important as honing your skills.

What can be learned from the observation can also become part of the player's internal strength in the future.

Of course, this is only part of the reason, and part of the reason is that everyone's physical energy is almost exhausted and they can no longer practice. The pitchers had just finished practicing pitching, and the fielders had just been kicked off the field due to exhaustion. As a catcher, you don't need to do fielding exercises at all.

"Coach, I want to participate in the fielding practice."

Sawamura, who had just finished pitching, was just in time for such a grand occasion.

How can he allow himself to miss this?
