Chapter 76 Studying Pitchers
"Let's just exchange the code."

Hideo Uesugi also frowned and said, "I have a lot of golf balls, do you remember?"

Who cares how many balls you have, Shen Qin rolled his eyes: "I'm talking about some finished balls!"

I haven't finished any of the balls!They are obviously the best!
Pitchers are confident and proud, and Hideo Uesugi also thinks that he handles the ball pretty well, so he won't be convinced.But if you insist on picking one out of them: "Fingerball and Carter?"

"Then finger the ball, Carter and Su... It's what you call a straight ball, 123, I will indicate the direction left and right, no matter what the ball is, I will catch it, you can cast it with confidence." Shen Qin patted Uesugi Hideo with his gloves and said Turn around and walk to home plate.

Uesugi Hideo was also stunned, why is he so familiar, and didn't he express surprise?I know so much, but it’s Zhicha and Carter~
This is really an injustice to Shen Qin. The only thing he knows about fingerball is the last World Baseball Classic that Coach found out about it. He asked Yuri and he didn't know very well. In the major leagues, except for Except for Asian players, the crossball is rarely thrown. If only local players are counted, the rarity is estimated to be only higher than that of the butterfly ball.

The forkball is said to have been first invented by an MLB pitcher who lost his finger. It is a sinking ball. This kind of ball will suddenly drop when it reaches the home plate, allowing the batter to swing too high, swing it empty, or hit it as a ground ball. .

However, it is very difficult to really practice this kind of ball, because children may not always meet very professional coaches in the process of growing up. It is easy to fail to practice the ball because of posture or power point or physical fitness. The hand hurts, and in addition, in the United States, many changeups can also achieve the effect of crossing the ball, so there are even fewer people practicing.

As for what Hideo Uesugi said was a high degree of completion, Shen Qin wanted to put a big question mark on it.Super genius?

Shen Qin squatted down again, and looked at the left batter who came up first.He is a tall boy.

I don't know what other catchers think, but Shen Qin still likes the left hitter with the feeling of squatting now, so the left glove feels easier to move, and it is easier to deal with missed pitches.

The bad thing is that it's easier to deceive people.

Shen Qin made a secret signal and asked for the finger ball, without thinking about any tactics, just wanted to see the finger ball in reality.

Uesugi Hide also thought that Shen Qin had thought it over carefully. After all, after the previous few times, he was somewhat convinced of Shen Qin now, so he nodded happily!
The white ball came straight and fell in front of home plate!

This is the finger ball!Shen Qin was a little excited, watching the ball or broadcasting it behind the home plate was completely different from the feeling of squatting and catching!Watch different pitchers pitch from the closest distance!Study these pitches!This wonderful feeling is indescribable!

"Boom!"

Before the ball fell, it was swung out by a stick, and the shot went straight through the second base, and the hitter easily reached first base.

Shen Qin was not surprised at all, the landing point was not bad, but the range was not that big, it was actually normal to be kicked out.

What surprised him was that the hitter was so natural. Just now, his body moved to the right for a moment before catching the catch, but it didn't cause any interference. This kind of hitter is the most terrifying. Ignoring other disturbances, my intuition is very accurate, it is too difficult to fool me!

Little did he know that Yi Gangsi, who had just stood on the first base, was relieved at the moment: the catcher was too weird, it seemed that there was no special interference movement, but just the posture of squatting and catching made people feel that he was Brewing something, or intending to interfere.This feeling made it difficult for him to concentrate.He doesn't like this kind of catcher.

The strange thing is that Hideya Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief when Ichigoji ran to first base. Shen Qin noticed it, so obviously this person was a big problem, otherwise he wouldn't have felt lucky to have reached first base. ?Ranked according to Japan's best...

Shen Qin counted the number of rounds he played off the court... the fourth best!
Because they were all strangers, Shen Qin didn't pay attention at all in front of him, and he swung four sticks unknowingly, which is really lucky.

Another hitter, Shen Qin, is still looking for the cross. He wants to see whether the drop of Uesugi Hideya’s pitch is the limit or can be changed. He also wants to pay attention to the release point, which is also very useful for his future strikes. helpful.

After all, the catcher's position in the middle of the strike zone will allow the hitter to observe more carefully about the release point than the hitter's line of sight.

Animation is actually a good promotional tool for baseball, but after all, the space is limited, and there is a lack of professional knowledge. Children always think that the shooting point is the pitcher's shooting point. What's there to say?

In fact, there are two shooting points for pitchers, one is soft shooting point and the other is practical point. The relationship between.

This is a very important pre-match preparation. Thanks to Yuri's profession, Shen Qin was able to understand these most professional things when he first came into contact with baseball, which means that the start is much higher than others.

For several pitchers with the same hand, each of them has different release points.

Connect the soft release point with the actual release point, which is actually the area where the pitcher throws the ball.

The so-called soft release point means that the pitcher raises his hand to the highest position during the throwing process, so the hitter is on the strike zone, and his sight must stay on the hitter's head. When he starts to throw, with the movement of his hand, his release position It is between the head and the actual shot point. This is a very important judgment!
The more you watch the scouting report and video before the game, the more you can narrow this area. In this range, as long as you don’t miss the shot, the ball will basically go into the pocket, which can be a big advantage in the game. , don't have to think about the ball!Judge directly based on the actual shooting point!A strike is a stick!
Conversely, if it deviates from this area, it is basically a bad ball, and you can selectively let it go!

For those players who are very good at picking the ball, in addition to their extraordinary talent for picking the ball, these two points are the more important basis for their success!And with the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, you will become more and more familiar with more players. The more you watch and memorize, the less likely you will be struck out!

From the perspective of a third party, it is not as straightforward as the scene itself. Especially from the perspective of the catcher, the pitcher is less blocked, and the judgment of the area can be more accurate.

Just like Hideya Uesugi, there is a difference in this area between the bad shot in front and the good shot just hit, the soft release point is different, and the actual release point is different.

You must know that the human body has memory, especially after years of practice, it is simply impossible to get rid of habitual movements!That's why there are rookie pitchers who tend to pitch well and then hit the rookie wall.

It is because with the increase of data, other people's research on you becomes more and more thorough.

……

Finger fork again?Hideo Uesugi also didn't understand, but he felt a lot more relaxed after thinking that Kazuo had already hit base, so he nodded after thinking about it!
"Swoosh!" The ball flew over.

Shen Qin narrowed his eyes, and the shot point of the same ball is different, so will this ball fall into the strike zone?
