soul of baseball

Chapter 791

Although there are mixed reviews, Shen Qin feels that the weighted ring/tool ​​is quite effective. Before the game, he feels that his swing is lighter.

(It’s just like tying a sandbag when you were a kid (it’s actually a tin bag, I remember? I’m not sure. It’s almost 30 years ago). After tying it for a while, when you first take it off, you will feel as if you have lost dozens of kilograms. Ruyan~ I really thought that I had mastered Kung Fu. The aggravator actually has such a similar function, but it requires a period of adaptation. It is impossible to feel that you are invincible immediately after using it.)
Looking back at his teammates in the waiting room, there is a new face called Paxton, but Xiao Minze is missing!

The first two friends Shen Qin met when he came to the United States, one was Coach, and the other was Xiao Min.

It's a pity that the team's second base has always been Pepe's world, and his body is very good. As a junior in the same grade, he really has no chance, not to mention that there are seniors like Ramos waiting behind him.

And this year's season was kicked out of the big roster early in the morning. Xiaomin was also stubborn, and went directly to the referee school, saying that he would not be able to play in the major leagues, and he wanted to be a referee to scare people!
Friends seem to be going their own way...

This is the way to grow up again in life.

Speaking of this, I am helpless. There are more and more small players in the major leagues, whether they are altuve or betts... (I really want to talk about lindor and baez, but the TV looks small, standing on the side...)
But although these players are not tall, their power is astonishing. Baez is simply a devil's muscular man. If he excludes his size, he can actually be comparable to Puig!

Some people will say that it is better to eat more and add more training, but this is really not the case!Everyone's ceiling is different. Dagu grew up a year in the United States, but his meat is not as hard as Baez, Puig, and Lindor.

Kominato is born with a small frame. From junior high school to now, his power has only improved a little in the sophomore stage of high school. After reaching college, he is still good at touching the ball, but he has never been able to hit the ball long.

The comparison between him and Pepe is actually obvious. Pepe is the well-deserved No.1 in the team under Shen Qin in terms of ball handling ability and ball selection skills, and he is stable and not impatient.

Both of them have fast legs, but Pepe's sustained base running speed is better, and Pepe's power has begun to improve in the past two years. He no longer focuses on one base hits, but also improves his elevation. .

This is very important. Xiao Minato is limited by his power. If he changes the angle of attack, there will undoubtedly be a bunch of high-flying balls caught and killed. It is very difficult for him to hit long shots in the current baseball world.

In fact, it was born in the wrong era.

Suzuki Ichiro is also a complete hitter. With a pair of fast legs, he ran countless infield hits, but it also means that he fell down.

With the implementation of data baseball, there are more and more defensive formations. This kind of players will be more blocked. As long as the defenses think about it, they can make you cry.

The scouts were far-sighted, of course they would be willing to give Xiao Mino a chance, but everyone knew that there was little hope for the future, and the signing bonus was at best a bottom line.

Xiao Minao was also stubborn, saying that his older brother could just play basketball, and he was going to be a major league referee, so he flew to Florida with his luggage packed.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to obtain referee qualifications. As long as you are over 18 years old and have a normal high school education, you can go to one of the two schools in Florida for study and training.Experience is not important at all. Of course, if you have it, you will be able to accept it faster.

Both schools are officially accredited, and registration is enough.

One is the Minor League Baseball Umpire Training Academy in Port St. Lucie.

One is Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School in Datona Beach.

Hmm~ I have to endure loneliness and not go out for a while during my studies. Personally, I recommend the latter.

A course is about 5-6 weeks and lasts about two months.Must read, more than 2000 knives, it was 2300 or 2400 the year before last.I didn't check it, and I don't know if there is any change now. If I remember to check it, I will come back and modify it.

Board and lodging can be included or arranged by yourself.But I think it will be more cost-effective to pack it. About 1500 dollars is much more cost-effective than spending two months outside by yourself.Of course, individual self-control is not the same.

A friend of mine went to this course and gained 21 pounds in two months. It was because of spending time outside every day + eating crazy, so I took this as a warning!
The course is not that if you pass the course, you will be a major league referee, but will be screened after a formal multi-faceted assessment.About 1/6~1/5 of people can continue to study advanced courses.

After passing this, a few of them will be drawn and arranged to enter the minor league law enforcement.Don’t doubt it, only one is possible.

I have mentioned the salary of minor league players before. It is horribly low. The referees will be better. The low-level salary is more than 2000 dollars, but like the players, they can only receive salary during the season.

There will be a little more at the high level, but there are very few subsidies for board and lodging.

But the problem is that if you want to be promoted again, you can only wait for the referees in the major leagues to leave and get injured to replace them.

Shen Qin felt that Xiao Min's path was more difficult than being a player.

But as long as you go up, you will be in two worlds just like the players.

The annual salary is N times higher, and the daily subsidy is even two or three times higher than that of the players. How about crowding the bus?It doesn’t exist, okay!

The strange thing is that Ji Jia said that he will go to class after giving birth, and strive to become the first female referee in the major leagues!

What on earth are these people thinking~
In fact, he understood Ji Jia's baseball dream. Although with the improvement of his playing experience, he was shocked by her home run at the beginning and now he has learned to rationally analyze the innate differences in physical fitness between men and women, but he has to admit Ji Jia's. The stick is really powerful.

But this is powerful but also for female players. Now that they are getting older, it is obviously not appropriate to chase after them.

But this person can't get enough of him, he can't wait to spend all day on the court, probably the same as Xiao Min, if my mother can't play in the major leagues and can't be a man, then go and sentence yourself to these two hundred and five!
Hahaha~
However, Nishikawa mentioned that if a female pitcher controls a special ball, it is not impossible to enter the bullpen camp regardless of endurance.

But the problem is that the major leagues are a circle made up of men. Women have to face inherent discrimination when they come in, and there are many extremely inconvenient places.

For example, in the locker room, do you want to change clothes on the spot with a bunch of rough guys?
Even if you open a room alone, what will everyone think?What about bathing?What about the usual hugs and hugs?

Because of gender, what if there is sexual harassment?
The atmosphere in the locker room is going to be weird without even thinking about it.

This affects the state of other players.

Even the management, which is harsh in this regard, the female management who made history before, left in less than a year and expressed sexism in the team.

In fact, personally speaking, Shen Qin is still looking forward to such a day, isn't that what baseball is like?Li Ning, anything is possible~
(There is an American drama about female pitchers in the major leagues, which is not bad.)
