soul of baseball

Chapter 182

A good night's sleep.

Shen Qin followed Coach all day in class today, and it was strange to find that the schedules of the two were exactly the same.

Does he look stupid?
Faced with Shen Qin's questioning gaze, Coach could only choose to ignore it.

"It's your first time participating in fielding practice, are you nervous?"

Be nervous!Shen Qin rolled his eyes, is it really okay to change the subject so obviously?

……

The so-called fielding practice of the Warriors Church High School baseball team was completely different from what Shen Qin thought.

Catcher Yorks did not join the pitching and catching team for practice, but stood behind home plate with Coach Quinn.

“由我击球，守备按789回传6-4-3-2-5-4-2-5-3为一个循环。”奎恩拍了拍身边的球框：“你们的每一次失误都会被记录下来～结果自己明白吧。小个子！你去二垒上。”

The significance of this drill lies in the return tandem between the outfielders and outfielders.Let your body react faster than you can think.

When you pick up the ball, you don't have to think about it, just pass it wherever you see it.

Only in this way will not waste time and miss the opportunity to assassinate.

789 corresponds to the left, center, and right fielders. They field according to the range of the incoming ball. After catching the ball, they return the pass to the shortstop. The shortstop then combines with the second baseman and the first baseman to practice the most classic 643 double play fielding.

Then the first baseman passes back to the catcher, and the catcher passes to the third base, the third base passes to the second base, and the second base passes to the home base.

Finally, the catcher bounces the ball to third base, and the third base passes to first base from a long distance.This is a one-base practice on a third-base throw-in pass.

The whole set of combination exercises completely includes the coordination that often occurs in defense, which can greatly improve the proficiency of team coordination.

The little Shen Qin had no choice but to obediently ran to the second base.

Shen Qin didn't think the training itself was too difficult, after all, the precise dynamic vision was here.

Who would have thought that Quinn's talk was the same thing, but when the training started, the balls being hit from home plate turned out to be continuous.

That is to say, this practice is not that the next round will start after a ball has completed the entire process of mutual passing, but the moment when the outfielder passes the ball to the shortstop, Quinn has already hit the next ball at the home plate. The ball was delivered.

Due to the different positions of the left, center and right fielders, the direction of the ball they return will also be different.

This naturally increases the running range of the shortstop.And Quinn's requirement for the shortstop is that the moment he receives the ball, the biggest movement can only be to turn his body, which means that he must pass back to the second baseman immediately after catching the ball, no matter where he is at the time.

Naturally, because of this, Shen Qin on second base was also affected.

Maybe the first ball is passed firmly in the middle and he can easily catch it and pass it back. Then the second ball in succession may appear behind him. He has to catch the ball and turn around and pass it back. The third ball may come from the side and require a faster run.

After a few rounds, the second baseman, the person with the heaviest task in practice, may have moved as much as the shortstop.

Shen Qin's short-distance movement was very fast, but this could not withstand the frequent stops, starts, and running back and forth. Gradually, his physical strength could not keep up, and his arms became less and less powerful as he opened them wider. He could have accurately passed the ball to first base. It will also land in advance.

This made him very nervous, afraid that he would not pass this defensive exercise called training but testing.

"Rest for 10 minutes!" As Quinn yelled, everyone collapsed on the ground, and even the seemingly most relaxed outfielder ran panting because the direction and distance of Quinn's batting changed at any time.

"How is it?" Coach and Shen Qin, who guarded the guerrillas, slumped on the ground with their heads on the ground: "Are you tired? Get up first and drink some water."

"Aren't you going to drink?" Shen Qin really didn't want to move, if it wasn't for being too thirsty, he would have been scorched right here facing the big sun above his head, at least he wouldn't have to stand up again.

"Don't want to move!" Coach, as a guerrilla, consumes the most energy. In the practice just now, he missed 3 passes and made 7 explosive passes.These seven explosive passes made Shen Qin, whose legs were weak, run several times in vain.

Only after this practice did Shen Qin realize the importance of turning and passing the ball that he practiced with Coach yesterday.Because as long as the infield is guarded, the possibility of encountering this situation is not small.After all, the opposing hitter doesn't tell you in advance where he's going to hit the ball.

"Then I'll get it for you, and you can rest for a while." Shen Qin struggled to stand up and walked to the outside of the field: Thank you Yuri for the outfield training he did before, and he hasn't left it in the past half a year Otherwise, if I were still the same person I was when I first arrived in the United States, I would have fallen so many times that my legs were so weak.

"Let's go together!" Shen Qin's neck was heavy, Coach had already pressed up, and the two dragged and moved to the sidelines.

"Hey, you guys have a good relationship." Gary, the captain of both sports, leaned back on the chair. He slept on the bus all night last night. He just arrived at the stadium not long ago. He is now refreshed. It looks bad.

And his original first base position was also changed to a substitute at the moment.

"We are neighbors~"

"We are friends!" Coach gave Shen Qin a white look: "He might still be angry with me when we quarreled a few days ago."

Who quarreled... Shen Qin remained silent helplessly, took out a drink from the bag beside him and threw it to Coach.

In fact, Shen Qin has always wanted to improve his unsociable situation, but he doesn't know whether it is a relationship between race or personality, which is always difficult to do.

Just like the dumpling incident and the dishwashing incident at the beginning, these were all obvious difficulties.

You must know that Gary would never say another word to him in normal times, but today it changed because of Coach.

To be honest, it actually has to do with the player's position in the team.

Although Gary is the captain of the baseball team, he was elected because of his senior qualifications!After all, there are only a few players in the team who are about to graduate.

But Coach is different. It is not so much that the team chose him as it is that he chose the team. How many teams were pursuing it back then.If there is no peculiar smell, he will definitely be the backbone of the team in the future.

"I told you early in the morning not to live on campus." Coach sat down again after drinking the water, patted the side: "Why are you standing there stupidly?"

"If I don't live on campus, I spend too much time on the road every day. My foundation is worse than others, so I can't afford to delay it."

Coach turned his head and asked with a smile: "Do you feel embarrassed to go through the back door? Tsk tsk! What's the matter! You have the strength, so there is no problem."

"But……"

"But what? It's such a big deal. As long as you get good grades, others will have nothing to say."

"But even so... when will I be able to be a catcher?"

When it comes to this, Coach is also a little disappointed: "There is probably no partner in the world who is more miserable than us!"

"A good catcher is forced to be a fielder! A good pitcher is forced to play shortstop! Live! The shooting partner becomes a second swimmer?"

Shen Qin laughed straight away: "Maybe if the arrest fails, he will become the best second player in the future? Hahaha~"
