Chapter 176 Treacherous baserunning

The only communication between Shen Qin and Coach broke up badly, and the meeting again was on the baseball team.

As a special student with a baseball scholarship, Coach was thrown into the big list after the test as soon as he entered the school, and Shen Qin was counted as one of the hobby participants along with other newcomers.

Sports, especially team sports, are not only popular and valued in the United States, but everyone pays more attention to letting children understand the importance of team cooperation.

At a very young age, parents will take their children to participate in various sports. Generally speaking, this is the period of forming hobbies, and then gradually move to the sports they are good at as their talents are revealed.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people. Those gifted children who have been noticed since junior high school have been targeted by high schools early on, and scholarships and various preferential treatment have been thrown away.

Most children from poor families will choose based on the number of scholarships, but some also focus on the school's record in previous years, the success rate of the draft, and the number of college scholarships.

These points are actually quite important, it means higher exposure and attention!

Whether it is major league scouts or college scouts, they will give priority to observing players from such schools.

Although there are indeed some undiscovered geniuses in the world, they are only a few.

And Warriors High School is such a school, every year there are excellent students participating in the draft, whether it is mlb, nba, nfl, nhl all have won the bid, not to mention the university scholarships for various projects.
This is also the reason why the school sports facilities and venues are so perfect.

Shen Qin was standing neatly with a group of newcomers on the lawn, looking at the shocking scene in front of him.

It turned out that Carrie's introduction was very one-sided at all, what two training grounds!That's not to say that it also includes such a large lawn that can be used as a football field!

"Effort and study are both important, but talent is more important. Maybe if you are not suitable for baseball, you are more suitable for sports such as rugby, basketball, ice hockey or swimming? So don't waste your time on baseball, you can try more! Believe me! Talent is really important." Assistant coach Jeter (Giter fans pat it, I'm a useless name!) stood in front and said loudly: "You can't afford to delay at this age! So you have to recognize yourself !"

What he said was very realistic, and Shen Qin understood it very well, but the person he was talking to was considered a teacher, so it was inevitable that he was a little tongue-tied!

But it does make sense, after all, as long as there is a sport that is good enough, it means high scholarships and a shortcut to college.

So in the short 4 years of high school, instead of wasting it on sports that you have no talent for, why not try a few more, and maybe find the one that suits you?
Shen Qin himself also wants to try for a university scholarship through baseball. Although Yuri will definitely not feel bad about tuition fees, it will be more fulfilling if he can achieve it on his own!

"The following various tests are equivalent to creating your first 'scouting report!' Of course, you can keep the ones that don't pass, but I don't recommend this kind of time-wasting behavior! Try something else , sports, and music! Studying is also good! You can always find something you are good at!"

As soon as Kit raised his hand, a younger assistant coach handed over the folder: "Of course, those who pass will receive better training and more professional guidance, at least they don't have to stay on this lawn all day to waste time!"

Shen Qin was stunned: Is this lawn bad?The feet feel great!
"The next group test, follow me in the first two rows." Ji Te pointed to the assistant next to him: "Follow Gene in the last two rows."

Grouping is actually sorting?Shen Qin was really confused. Didn't he want to conduct separate tests for catchers, fielders and pitchers?

Isn't that what it says in the anime?
The test came to the official baseball training ground, and Kit stood behind the home plate: "Today is the first time you stand on this training ground. Of course, if you fail the test, it will not be the last time, just come next time." It’s time to come only as a visitor.”

This is not funny at all, no one wants to fail the test.

In addition to Git standing on home plate, there are three more standing on each base with timers and folders.

Kit opened the folder and looked at the roster: "Select the strike zone according to your usual strike direction, go around the base pack with all your strength and return to the home plate, and those who can do both left and right (marked as 's' for both left and right bows) start from the left strike zone."

Measure the speed~ Shen Qin is a little depressed. He is a right-hander, which means that there is a gap in the starting distance compared to the start of a left-hander.

You must know that the distance between each base pack is only 27.45 meters. Such a short distance between strike zones may not be a big deal if it is longer, but it is a huge gap in the distance of more than 20 meters.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to think that those people on the bases were for nothing. In addition to the time to run back to home plate, the time to hit each base must also be the focus of the test.

After all, in a baseball game, getting to first base is the most critical, otherwise you won't have a chance to advance.

However, Shen Qin didn't have a timer, so he couldn't estimate the running speed of the newcomers in front of him. Except for a few strong men who were obviously slower, he could only feel the speed, but he didn't have a specific range.

This made him even more nervous.

"Qin!" Kit called the next one while recording the time of the previous one.

Shen Qin took the bat and stood on the right strike zone.

In the game, every runner who runs to the first base must have a bat in his hand before, and the timing of throwing the bat during the base run will also affect the speed and time of the base run, so in In the test, Git requires everyone to simulate this process!

"start!"

Shen Qinhui is empty!At the moment of turning around, the left foot flexed with inertia propped up at a strange angle, borrowing strength!

The whole person bounced, and the stick that was completely transferred to the left hand during the swing was also let go.

Half of the bat fell into the right strike zone!
"Whew!" Shen Qin rushed straight past the first base pack. It seemed that he realized that he had made a mistake in running the base. After another buffer, he rushed to the second base, and then circled back to the home plate!

please forgive me!Shen Qin silently apologized to the same batch of test newcomers in his heart!

He did it on purpose!Deliberately rushing to first base straight and straight as if hitting the base in a game, the only way to make the speed faster.

If you want to rush directly to the next base, your body will slow down spontaneously, so as to ensure that there is a buffer to prevent you from falling or getting injured when turning.

He knew that his instant explosive power was good, and short-distance sprints were fine, but going round the bases was definitely not his strong point.

This test is very important to him. Since there is no advantage in running a complete base, he can only try to be ahead of others in the time from home plate to first base!
Ji Te was not satisfied with the time when he looked at Shen Qin. Although there was a reason for a baserun error, it was really not too prominent.

He looked up at the scorer on the first base, but the opponent compared the timer in his hand in surprise.
