Chapter 457 Muscle Maniac and Baby Face

Shen Qin sat on the bench dangling his legs. Today's game seemed very, very interesting to him. He could observe the true state of a catcher who was completely different from himself.

My own Salvador and Banana Bear's Pachek should be defensive catchers, right?

They are all very good at stealing the ball, which is the so-called framing technique. After the game, the referee will probably want to rush back and slap their gloves off.

In the major leagues, a catcher's ability to steal the ball is very important. A good technique can help the team save dozens of points throughout the season.

Before this technology was noticed, the types of catchers in the league were actually very mixed.

There are those who are very good at hitting but have low stealing ability, there are also those who are invincible in stealing but have a [-]% hit rate, and there are even others who are not good but have a high blocking rate so that they can fly!

But with the advancement of technology and the completeness of statistics, this technology has been paid more attention to, so the survival of the catchers has become difficult.

If you can't steal good balls but can hit well, change your defensive position; if you can't do both, then go to the minor leagues to learn. If you learn well, you can come up. If you don't learn well, then...

And Salvador is a typical catcher who is good at stealing good shots. This is also his advantage after entering the profession in the future, hoping to make up for some weaknesses in hitting.

As for Banana Bear's Pachek, it seems that he is not only good at stealing good shots, but also has amazing arm strength. So what about hitting?
~
Shen Qin watched that guy stand on the left side, his fleshy face was bulging and round, but his sullen face was very imposing, so he must be a little tsundere~
Only this relaxed demeanor disappeared with the stick raised by the opponent, closed, holding the stick by the side!
Just like myself now!
Being able to easily adopt such a strike method shows that the striker has very good physical coordination, sufficient strength, and must have reached a certain level of skill.

Is this catcher without the ball a strong hitter?
Porcello's long hair swayed and fell, grabbing two strikes in succession.

Pachek, who was on the left strike zone, didn't panic. After seeing two changing balls in a row, the stick that was held and hidden behind the side finally swung out hard~
Pong! ! !
A super powerful fly ball headed towards third base!
Xi Chuan, who was originally standing behind third base, made a very timely and accurate judgment. Because of the early start, he jumped high and blocked the ball.

Porcello took off his hat and waved at Xi Chuan to express his gratitude. The level of catching the ball was too high, which saved him a big trouble.

In fact, for these 'old people', although Xi Chuan and those freshmen came to the school at that stage, they are completely different. One has already made a name for himself in the NCAA, while the other is still in a state of ignorance. in the state.

This man is different!
On the other hand, Xi Chuan took off his gloves and kept shaking his hands. The speed of the ball coming over is really ~ tsk~ What kind of strange strength do the little guys have now? !
~
Wow!Shen Qin clapped his hands vigorously, and then looked back at the annoyed Pachek, that upper body is so thick!It gives people a feeling of trying to hold their stomachs up: "Did you stretch your stomach?"

"Hey~" Sherzer snorted, "It's muscles!"

"Impossible? Where did such bulging muscles come from? This is my stomach!"

"This outfielder's father is a bodybuilder!"

Bodybuilder?Shen Qin shook his head: "It's the catcher, not the fielder."

"He's always been an outfielder, just squatting for Michael."

What kind of rhythm is this: "But the scout report didn't say it just now?"

"Because he doesn't play now except for squatting and catching. Banana Bear's outfield is full now, so I didn't mention it. I'm afraid that I will say too much and people won't remember it. Let's take a look at it after the game is over. .”

Outfielder!Shen Qin was extremely surprised, a small outfielder?And then only for Michael? "But he's good at hitting the ball and has a strong arm. Hey, how do you know so much?"

"High school classmate!" Scherzer turned his arms: "You can't be an outfielder if your arms are not strong. Pachek was famous for his laser shoulder in high school, and he didn't start practicing squat catch until the end of 11th grade. It's because I wanted to catch this guy's ball, and I publicly circled him on Facebook, saying that I was going to their school."

"Whoa! Cool! But it's better to be a catcher, he's not tall enough to be a catcher!"

Shelzer paused for a moment, then laughed out loud: "He's 1 meters!"

The basic personal information of the players is public, and the height of each other is no secret!Shen Qin stared angrily, the point of this sentence of 1.8 meters is obviously aimed at himself, who is less than 1.8 meters! "How?! I'm less than 1 meters, what's wrong?"

"Ahem~ That's not what it means!" At this time, it is necessary to quickly change the subject: "Hey, did you just talk about bodybuilding? His father is a bodybuilder, so it's normal for him to be affected by fitness! I've seen, The belly is really full of muscles!”

Shen Qin made a circle with his hands in surprise: "This, so many are muscles?"

"Yes!"

"Then I see the way he hit just now~ meaning that he is really a super powerful hitter?"

"Of course!"

"No! Then why haven't I seen him? Didn't we play games with your school at the time?"

"He didn't play, he said he would leave the first competition to Michael, he is a crazy person!"

Shen Qin was a little speechless, he couldn't connect Scherzer's description with this guy in front of him at all.

Cute face, but strong chest and abdominal muscles?Not tall, with thin calves, but stretched thighs?If it is really made into a sculpture, it will be beautiful in contrast!

Muscle maniac and baby face?

There is also the first time left for Michael, why the media didn’t report on such ambiguous words~ well, it’s actually normal, players who aim to be professional will come to college for the reason other than dissatisfaction with the draft pick, the rest are always For all sorts of weird reasons.

The funniest reason is even to wait because you can't bear to leave home.

In fact, many teenagers who leave home do not get used to it for a while, especially those in Latin America. When they come to the United States, the language barrier, poor food, changing environment, and being surrounded by strangers will inevitably feel homesick. If you want to escape, you won't be able to train well,

So in the long run, many players who have no career goals will choose to go to college. First, campus life is not that complicated. Second, they hope that they will mature and adapt to the environment first. After they really step into the profession Be able to calmly face grouping, discrimination and various belief issues.
