Chapter 61 Baseball IQ
Thank you yingxue6623, for your tip ^0^!Xiao Mina is not tall but fast, but lacks in strength. According to Yuri, he is not a very powerful player.

……

But he has a very magical ability to choose the ball. In addition to having a good feel for the ball, he is also very smart in playing.

He can always find out the strike zone of today's referee very quickly.

This is a very important point.

Yuri bought season tickets for the Cardinals for Shen Qin, as long as it was a home game, he could actually watch a lot of high-level games this year, and he is not a real hot-blooded boy, so In addition to appreciating the game, I will also carefully observe how the top players 'play'.

Shen Qin found that many players were actually very strong in attacking ability, but somehow died of the number of strikes.Thought it was a bad ball and didn't swing, but was called a strike by the referee and was out.

In addition to the catcher's ability to pull a bad ball into a good ball called framing, a large part of this comes from the cognition of the referee.

In a baseball game, the referee's judgment on good and bad balls cannot be challenged, and the so-called strike zone is a virtual zone, so for the players of the two teams, as long as there is no bias, both teams If it is a strike zone, everyone will think it is fair. Under such circumstances, it is particularly important who can adapt to the referee's strike zone first.

Once you get used to it first, you will know which balls can be safely let go to lead the number of balls you take first, and which balls must be swung to increase your chances.Shen Qin thinks that his excellent dynamic eyesight is an absolute plus in this item, but Xiao Min knows that he is just an ordinary person in this aspect from his usual defense, so the consideration of the chief judge's taste is very important. Definitely relying on the so-called baseball IQ.

Simply put, this is a very smart kid.

Today is the same, as the trailblazer, Minato has figured out today's strike zone when pitcher Ryu Hyun-ki consumed 7 pitches from Little Dinosaur, and the corner near the left hitter was awarded. Very relaxed.

This is not a good thing for Xiaomin. He is a right-handed hitter, and the corner close to the left-handed hitter is the outside corner for him. In addition, he is not tall, so he has to chase for the number of balls. Pushing and hitting with a straight body will definitely lose strength, and it is even more difficult for him who is not good at long hitting.

The opponent's shooting partner obviously also noticed this, and began to frequently attack Xiao Minozze's outer corner.

Xiao Min had a hard time chasing and hitting. Although they were barely destroyed, it was easy to increase the referee's good shots, because if you chased and hit, it would easily cause visual fatigue.

And once the strike zone is expanded, for the sake of fairness, it will be difficult for the referee to take it back.That would not only affect Xiao Minozze alone, it would even make the hitters behind him face such a dilemma!
No choice!
Xiao Min watched Liu Xianji's ball go to the outer corner again, and the right hand that was holding the bat quickly moved forward to the middle and front of the bat!

point!
He must quickly end his fight!

The ball landed feebly inside the sideline, but Xiaomin didn't even see whether the ball was inside or not, so he jumped over the catcher and ran to first base!
"Okay!" Shen Qin stood up!In fact, at this moment, Xiao Minu hadn't succeeded in hitting the base. His "yes" was purely for Xiao Minu's runner.Only the teammates on the side are a little inexplicable.

As mentioned earlier, Minato has a very high baseball IQ, which was reflected in this run.

Xiao Minato is a right-handed hitter, and the outside corner hits the right side. When the ball is in bounds, the catcher can naturally pick it up and quickly pass to first base, unlike the case of a left-handed hitter, which will cause postural interference.

But Xiao Mina jumped over the catcher extremely quickly while running the base, interfering with the catcher's sight and movement. Not to mention that he didn't see the ball for the first time, even his movement was blocked for a while.

Just for a moment, enough for the fast-legged Minato, stepping onto the bases before the ball was passed into the first baseman's glove!
"Okay!" The teammates cheered, and Carlos glanced at Shen Qin, as if wondering if the mysterious power of the East could predict the foresight?
Only Jose looked surprised, he was a little impressed by this teammate who usually does not show his talents, it seems that this team is not all just dawdling.This made him a rare interest.

……

The start was very successful, but Carlos and Brown, who were two or three bats, were suppressed by Ryu Hyun-ki. They still cast outside corners according to the chief judge's taste, and scored two outs.

And Ryu Hyun-ki's pitching action is very small, and as a left-handed pitcher, he is naturally better than a right-handed pitcher, which makes Xiaomin very anxious on the first base. His fast legs endow him with the ability to steal bases Can't play it at all today!And the hitters behind him were not strong enough. It is not a happy thing to finally hit the base but fail to score.

What's more, the referee's current strike zone is getting wider and wider. To a large extent, he is the culprit, so how can he not be anxious.

Fourth bar Jose.

Jose is a left-handed hitter, which can make up for the disadvantage of the strike belt vs. right-handed hitter, but it is not a good thing at this time, because he is a push hitter. It is easy for the opponent's defensive player to directly kill Xiao Minato, who is passive, on the second base.

Not to mention that they are already out twice, even if they are out once, they are easy to be double-killed and end this half of the round directly.

how to spell?
Jose glanced over the tight defensive circle of the Little Dinosaurs!Disaster!Only hit the outfield?

swoosh~
The ball went straight into Jose's inside corner, where the first few bats were judged to be strikes.Jose does not move his upper body. As a catcher, he pays more attention to the strike zone than the fielder. After watching the first three hitters, he has already cleared his mind, so he changed his position when he was in the strike zone. The legs are close to the inner corner, which interferes with the smoothness of the catcher's catch and affects the referee's vision. It is hoped that the referee can close the strike zone that is so wide that it has no edges.

"Bad ball!"

really!Jose lowered his hands and grinned at Liu Xianji!
Haha... Ryu Hyun-ki can be said to be very unhappy!This is a provocation!An absolute provocation!
Almost instantly, the name Jose was crossed by Liu Xianji!Arrogant guy!
Generally speaking, guys who are arrogant enough to make people feel helpless are more capable. Jose is this kind of person, who abruptly chose to give up his playing position, and used weird positions to bring back the referee's strike.At the same time, the little dinosaur was given an out number, which ended the half round.

The head judges in their age group were relatively relaxed, and the batter cleverly created steps, so he naturally went down.

"Thank you!" Xiao Min, who took off his strike helmet and prepared to defend at the end of the game, thanked Jose, after all, it was his fault.

José, who is smart and skilled, is not too shameless, but only touched his gloves with Xiao Min,

Coach turned his head and snorted, he is the most arrogant in terms of arrogance, rejection is inevitable!

"Hey, let's compete!" Shen Qin pushed Kou Chi, he likes smart people, while Xiao Min is very rigorous in addition to being smart, which is very in line with Shen Qin's requirements for himself, so liking someone with similar ideas is also a must A very natural thing.Although Jose has a bit of a temper, he thinks that he can't compare with Coach, the rich young master who wanted to chase 'Ji Jia' at the beginning. Now it's a bit funny to see the two children dislike each other. !
