Chapter 158 Three strikes?dislike
Of course, the familiarity is not because his surname is the same as Xiao Min, but because the beater has a milky face!

Shen Qin would see this face every morning!It grows on the milk carton!
Did you start acting as an endorsement at this age?Child actor?

"Liar!"

Shen Qin nodded with a smile, he quite liked this description in the arena.

Tanegashima leads with two strikes.

Shen Qin and Coach raised their hands and patted their left shoulders after they finished the signal. Hideo Uesugi, who was guarding the first base today, also retreated to the edge of the base immediately.

Xiao Minu Shiyuan can't understand it!Now all the infielders are standing on the edge of the base bag, what is the formation?After playing baseball for so long, let alone a third baseman!It was the first time I saw a second baseman staring at the base bag!It’s almost glued on, okay? (Explain, in order to move more defenses, the fielder will change the defensive position at any time according to the batter’s situation, such as going forward, back, or shrinking the defensive circle. This kind of behavior of quickly sticking to the base bag is impossible of.)
Soon he understood that this formation was called 'kill him'!
Same shot!It still falls to the outside corner after entering the base.

Xiao Mina was not deceived this time, and he swung the stick very well.

"Boom!"

Good weight!

Xiao Mina Shiyuan was very surprised, how could Wei Jin be so strong?

At this time, he didn't know that if he used a wooden stick for this kind of ball, it should have broken by now.

But it was an aluminum rod. After being squeezed so forcefully, coupled with the speed, the ball still didn't get hit far, but instead bounced weakly in front of the toes.

Dizzy~ Xiao Minato Shiyuan rolled his eyes helplessly, and ran to the first base slowly, this kind of ball is a must!I never thought that the tail force of the ball would be so strong that it was impossible to fish it out. Not to mention, it sank for a moment when it was hit!
Shen Qin took a few steps forward to pick up the balloon and pass it to Hideya Uesugi on first base.

Hideo Uesugi also stepped on the base bag and easily blocked Xiaomin Shiyuan.

The second batter of Nanchi High School is the catcher Asano Jun, which makes Shen Qin feel quite strange, there is nothing he can do here, with that group of pig teammates, the three of them must stick together consecutively, otherwise they will not be able to score at all.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would not place himself in the third place.Even 2, 3, and 4 sticks are not considered too much. This has nothing to do with striking ability, but it is really a matter of status.Even in other normal teams.

A half-inning is three outs, and the worst case is three on and three out, with up to 4 or 5 at-bats. Among them, 2, 3, and 4 are either in the middle or at the end, which means adding in the preparation area. It takes a long time to stay on the field. If the batting condition is good enough, you can even stay on the base until the end of the half inning or run back to home plate.

This involves a problem. The catcher is the most tiring position on the field. Not only do you have to keep squatting, but you also have to pass and catch the ball and even schedule the entire field. If it is not good, it will form a situation where the next game is about to be played immediately, without even a break for a break.It's easy to feel tired.

Being tired can easily lead to loss of concentration, which is not a good thing for the game.

Of course, hitting the first bat can also avoid this kind of problem, but you must know that most catchers lack a pair of fast legs, and the first bat is very important for on-base percentage.Although some teams will put the cannon first due to the problem of the delivery rate of the heavy gunners, most of them still follow the tradition.

Therefore, the question that Hayao Asano will be ranked second behind the main propulsion role is worthy of further study. Is it a superb strike ability or is it actually a strong hit?
But it doesn't matter, Shen Qin looked at the pitcher mound, he is the best pitcher!

In Japan, the Carter ball is actually a very general concept. In the United States, Coach Carter is not actually called Carter, but a two-seam outer fastball, and there is also a four-seam outer fastball. The two are simplified by Japan to be collectively referred to as Carter balls.

In fact, from the point of view of the ball path alone, there is no difference between the two balls, and the rotation of the seam line cannot be seen at all without the help of slow motion.

But most people will choose four stitches, because it is fast~

But Coach is different, he has a terrifying two-seam ultra-fast sinker, so the two-seam cutting ball is faster and smoother than the four-seam cutting ball.

His 'Carter' is actually more accurately called a chip shot.The path of the ball is similar to that of a slide ball, but the change range is much smaller, but the ball speed is amazing.No different than a straight shot.

In addition, this type of ball is originally evolved from the straight ball, and the two are very close in every aspect, and the combination can especially confuse the hitter.

This time facing Shun Asano, Shen Qin matched Carter with the first ball.

Unlike a small ball that is hit from the right and will go to the outer corner, facing Asano who is hit from the left, the ball will fall to the inner corner.

Straight ball?In red?
Although Shun Asano felt that his judgment was not accurate when facing this ball, he couldn't bear to let go of Hongzhong's position!

beat!
"Boom!"

The ball moved directly to the thinnest part of the stick, and Asano's hands were numb from the shock!
This kind of position ball is naturally not far away, and it falls directly in front of the pitcher.

Coach easily picked it up and hung it to Hideya Uesugi!
Solve it with one ball!
Shen Qin gestured for two outs, look!This is the real function of the carter ball. Compared with the right hit, the left hit is more powerful, and the inward movement can squeeze the broken stick.

He prefers Coach to let opponents hit more ground balls and save balls than strikeouts.

If it weren't for that group of defenders who didn't do anything, it would be easier for them to match the ball, at least the infield wouldn't have to rely on just two people to do it.

Playing a bad luck, rolling the ball far away?Is it a bit off?
Nakamura looked at the mound with disdain: Bah!This idiot won't wait for the end of the game to get a k (strikeouts), right?
In fact, neither Coach nor Shen Qin understand how much Japan cares about the number of strikeouts of starting pitchers in each game. In their view, strikeout means facing at least one hitter, and the pitcher must throw 3 balls , Of course, this is just the best fantasy. In more cases, you have to try your best to lure the batter. In this case, you need to frequently throw bad balls to trick.

And the hitter also has to pick the ball, right?So it is not impossible to come and go against a hitter and use 4 or 5 balls, or even more.This also tends to increase the number of balls used by pitchers sharply.

For the pitching and catching partners Shen Qin and Coach, it is more important to control the number of balls used and use the fewest balls to solve the most batters. Only in this way can they get as many innings as possible.

Two out!It took 4 balls!

Coach was very satisfied with this, and gestured to Shen Qin and Uesugi Hideo that they were out of the game.

Tut tut!Today I'm a ground ball pitcher!

But at the same time, it's inevitable that I feel a little unhappy, if it wasn't for those bastards!How easy this game should be!

But you tortured Qin Qin for the sake of face, then today I will tear your face apart!
