Chapter 27: Your Pitcher why hitting is better than us

The second day of the training camp.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Members of the First team of the Baseball have begun strike training.

But.

This blow.

It is a barrier that aligns with green.

To be precise.

It is to stand in front of a wide barrier.

Then the non-First team members toss the ball from the side.

At last.

With a bat, hit the ball towards the green barrier.

While!

While!

While!

The familiar sound of blows, continuously.

"I'm going to keep throwing!"

The member who assisted Sawamura in training gently threw the ball in front of Sawamura.

"Good!"

"Look at me!"

Sawamura shouted imposingly and swung his bat.

Wow!

The wind is blowing!

That's what happens when the stick is swung!

"Abominable!"

"Sure enough, I was too tired yesterday!"

But Sawamura didn't feel that it was his own bad blow at all, but felt that it was caused by yesterday's training.

"Here it comes!"

The players who assisted Asad in training threw the ball at will.

Asad saw the incoming ball and swung the bat violently.

While!

A bang!

The baseball shoots straight into the green barrier and raises the barrier net high!

The next moment.

Another ball was tossed.

And it's a little far from Asad.

But Asad still hit with an easy swing of the bat.

And so on and so forth.

A total of 5 balls.

However, Asad hit them all.

"You can throw it a little faster later."

Asad asked again.

"Good."

And then.

The team members who assisted Asad in practicing threw more casually, and they didn't even know where they would throw it.

But.

This was the difficulty of training that Asad wanted.

After all.

If not difficult.

Then it doesn't make any sense.

...

"Practice 200 swings!"

"Plus catch practice and running!"

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so much practice in one go!"

Sawamura wiped his sweat and walked heavily to the cafeteria.

"Words..."

"With such a large amount of training, Asad, why do you still look relaxed?"

Sawamura turned his head to look at Asad, who was sweating, but the whole revealed leisurely and comfortable, and his mind was full of question marks.

And not only him.

Kominato Haruichi and Furuya, who walked with Sawamura, were actually very confused.

The same is a new life.

Same training.

But...

The three of them are dying of exhaustion!

But what about Asad?

It was like walking away, except for sweating, it was not affected at all!

Asad smiled and spoke.

And this remark also reminded them of one thing.

——From the beginning of the school to the present, Asad will continue to stay in the baseball field to run every day after training, and run until late to return to the dormitory.

And then....

An emotion called 'regret' was out of the hearts of the three.

What if....

They did the same like Asad...

Wouldn't it be like Asad now, not being dragged down by hellish training?

But.

What they don't know is.

What Asad said was actually a showman.

For example, jog when someone else is near the stadium.

Nobody was there.

Take a slow walk.

Sawamura and Furuya, they don't know.

So if you really follow suit, you might jog for hours all the time.

After daily high-intensity training, doing this is likely to make the body wasted.

"Good physical talent."

"In addition, after the club activities every day, I also continue to train."

"After a long time, the accumulated physical strength naturally surpasses you."

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The baseball club's Hell training camp continues.

Asad standing in the right field.

Catch the batter's high fly ball and pass it towards home plate.

Shout!

The powerful force allowed the baseball to reach home plate almost instantly!

"This kid's defense rate is too high, right?"

First team left fielder Ichiro Sakai frowned.

Since Asad participated in training in the field.

Whether it was a high-flying ball or an outfield landing on the earth, Sakai Ichiro had never seen Asad make a mistake.

"What a quick return!"

First team right fielder Kenjiro Hakushu felt a lot of pressure.

Asad was not only the fastest to catch up with the ball.

And the speed of the return transmission far exceeds him.

"Sakai, Hakushu, I think Asad can also guard the field!"

First team midfielder Jun Isashiki said with a smile.

"I will definitely not give up the left/right field starting position!"

Sakai and Hakushu replied almost at the same time.

In official competitions.

As long as the player is replaced, he can no longer play.

But.

If when changing pitchers.

Transferred the original pitcher to the outfield position.

So.

The original pitcher can continue the game as an outfielder.

Although Sakai and Hakushu do not want to admit it.

But Asad's field defensive ability and strike ability are indeed too good.

Even if not pitching.

It can also exert great combat effectiveness on the field.

So.

Hakushu they are well aware.

When it comes to the official competition, even if Asad is tired, it is estimated that the coach will not let Asad go down.

Instead, he will put Asad in the position of the outfield.

As for topping Hakushu's right field position, or topping Sakai's left field position.

It depends on which of them performs worse.

As for why he didn't top Jun Isashiki's center field position.

That's because Jun Isashiki's striking and defensive abilities are stronger than Sakai and Hakushu.

So.

When changing Asad to the outfield.

Priority is definitely given to Sakai or Hakushu.

...

Soon.

Asad's field defense training was completed.

And then.

It was Furuya's turn to train for outfield defense.

And Furuya's ability to defend the high-flying ball in the outfield, although not as good as Asad, is still okay.

More critically.

After receiving the ball, Furuya's return pass speed is also quite fast.

Bang!

The baseball has already passed back to home plate!

Considering the strong long-hitting ability that Furuya showed in the previous practice matches.

It is estimated that after Furuya finish pitching.

The coach will also transfer Furuya to the outfield position.

Time.

The pressure on Sakai and Hakushu was even greater.

If there is only one Asad, then there is only one who is topped.

But add to that Furuya ....

The position that is topped, maybe it will change from one to two!

"Abominable!"

"Aren't these two pitchers!"

"Why is it so strong in outfield defense!"

"And the strike ability is also so good!"

Sakai and Hakushu were extremely resentful, and their fighting spirit was forced to participate in the next training.

Asad and Furuya."

"The ball sense is already beyond ordinary people."

"The outfield is also very well guarded, even if he comes down from the pitcher's mound, it is estimated that he will continue to participate as a fielder."

"Compared to them..."

Chris glanced at Sawamura and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas..."

"I think you better stop practicing fieldfield catching."

Hear this.

Sawamura was suddenly said to be a little landless.

Thinking about my poor performance in the outfield, I even have the idea of digging a hole in the ground.

"No way, let you continue to practice pitching."

Chris turned and walked towards a wide green barrier net.

"Huh!?"

"Pitch?!"

Sawamura was overjoyed.

"If it's this guy."

"Definitely catch any pitch you make."

"He's the best guy on the team!"

"Come on!"

"Throw it at it!"

Chris pointed to the green barrier net and said confidently to Sawamura.

"Nets ?!!!"

"Grams... Senior Chris, didn't you help me squat and catch? "

When Sawamura saw the receiver Chris said, the joy in his heart completely dissipated.

"Don't pick and choose!"

Chris: "If you want someone to catch the ball, go to Miyuki" "

Sawamura: "I... What about the camaraderie we cultivated before?! "

Chris ignored Sawamura's words and said to himself: "It's easier to grasp the feeling with the ball than to hold the ball in place with a towel." "

"Your pitching distance can be closer."

"By the way, you have to throw one ball at a time, shoot seriously!"

"Don't forget the ball feeling when you fought in match !"

"Let the body remember the posture, understood?"

Sawamura, who was originally a little reluctant.

Hearing the perfect pitch from the match I suddenly forgot everything before.

All I want to do is recreate that pitch in my mind.

...

The third day of training.

Continuous ultra-high-intensity training.

It left Kominato Haruichi in a state of extreme exhaustion.

The infield bouncing ball, which used to be easily received, can now be caught at all.

"What's wrong?"

"Ran out of strength so soon?"

"Training has just begun!"

The assistant officer carried the bat and shouted loudly.

"Feet... I can't run anymore..."

Kominato Haruichi wanted to stand up, but his heavy feet couldn't move.

"If you feel hard, you can also go to rest."

Ryosuke Kominato walked up to Haruichi Kominato and said with a smile: "There are so many people who want to replace you in the queue!" "

Kominato Haruichi: "!! "

After breathing a sigh of relief.

Kominato Haruichi forcibly stood up: "I... I can still continue! "

Ryosuke Kominato said, "Then don't look tired, stupid!" "

Kominato Haruichi: "Hmm! "

...

The other side.

Dawn Furuya, who is undergoing strike training.

Because he kept hitting the ball in the garbage position half a meter away from the side.

Therefore, he also began to be taught by the seniors who assisted in the training of the First team.

"Hey!"

"Be more attentive when you hit the ball!"

"Since just now, I haven't hit the front at all!"

Furuya directly ignored it, and there was only one thought in his mind:

"I..."

"I want to go up the pitcher's hill—"

...

Practice pitching position.

At this time, Sawamura was receiving one-on-one guidance from Chris.

"Feet raised not high enough!"

Chris: "When you pitch in match , you didn't lift it so low!" "

Sawamura replied spiritually, "Yes!" Got it! "

But.

The response was cheerful.

But it's very difficult to do.

"Abominable..."

"Running the base for several days in a row, the feet have been..."

"After only a few shots, I feel so tired..."

...

While!

While!

While!

"Senior, the try to make it little more tricky!"

Asad stood in the strike seat and asked the second-team members who fed the ball.

"I... I try! "

The second-grade team member, who was tired and his body was a little numb, gritted his teeth and said.

In his heart: "Isn't this guy in first grade?" How did you go through so much high-intensity training and have so much physical strength? "

At this time, Tanba came over.

He said to the second-grade members, "You go to rest, I'll come." "

Ministry member: "Huh? Senior Tanba, this..."

Tanba: "It's okay, I'm also a member of seido, and it's my responsibility to help my teammates grow!" "

Ministry member: "Well... All right! "

And then.

Koichiro Tanba walked up to the pitcher's mound.

He took out a ball from the ball frame next to him and reminded Asad: "It's coming!" "

Asad said slightly excitedly: "Come on!" I'm ready! "

The second-year member's pitching was weak, and he had long been tired of playing.

Now switch to Tanba.

And this is not an official competition yet.

Imply!

Tanba can bring out the strength of the national level!

Distance.

Kataoka Tetsushin, who saw this scene, nodded with satisfaction
