soul of baseball

Chapter 989: Major League Debut 4
Today's professional baseball is an era when home runs are flying all over the sky. Everyone knows that as long as the bat lasts for a long time, it means making money!Popular!valuable!
Besides, with the testing of the electronic strike belt, the catcher's statistics on the defensive end are even less optimistic, but now such a rookie has come up with such a paragraph?
West couldn't explain what he was thinking. He had been in the industry for so many years, and his love for the position of catcher had changed from the initial love to the one that cannot be changed now. His mentality has long been different~
Will this child be like me in the future?Or do you still love this position as much as Yuri?
Thinking of this, I want to laugh, this is a child taught by Yuri, how could he not love the position of catcher?

Everyone knows Yuri's characteristics, one is patriotic, and the other is a catcher. No matter who these two points are, one will explode!It is not once or twice to directly swear with people in the media.

(Taken from the released catcher of the Angels. After the malicious collision, molina scolded the audience...Although I think this malicious collision was caused by the two sides' first temptation and lack of reaction.)
"You like catchers a lot? Why?"

"I didn't like it before, I thought the catcher was very tiring, but the more I know about baseball, the more I like it! Just the reason I said before! Do you have special scheduling? Tell me, I'm super good at reciting codes!"

West laughed: "Everyone takes small cards, the data department will analyze them, and then the coaching team will make arrangements in advance, and the defensive players will move and deploy based on the information. So generally speaking, I am only responsible for pitchers, first and second basemen, There's a little bit of interaction between adding another shortstop."

"What about third base?"

West shook his head with a smile. He knew the reason why Shen Qin asked this, because Yuri really likes to steal!Therefore, the first and third basemen of the Cardinals have been dragged and trained to cooperate with the catcher to steal people. This is the only one, and there is no semicolon!

"You can give it a try once you're done hunting."

"I have to wait for next year's spring training, and this year I'll do my best. I don't know how much my body will be able to bear, so take my time!"

"Now that you are in the big leagues, the most important thing for your body to last longer is to get used to staying up late, change your work and rest time, and forget about going to bed early and waking up early."

Speaking of this, Shen Qin is rarely helpless. There are too many games in the evening games. You can tell by watching Yuri. I heard that I often have to sleep in the guest room when I go home late. Fortunately, Ji Jia also likes to stay up late. The two can get together all day long.

If it is a normal family, the time that the husband and wife can really spend together in a year is really limited.

"What time do you usually go to bed?"

"It's usually around three o'clock for me, but sometimes after the game, if there is another away game the next day, I have to fly there overnight, so the sleep time is hard to say."

Speaking of this, I am a little happy: "The catcher is better. Usually in this case, there will be a rotation between the main game and the substitute, and the fielder will have to fight."

Shen Qin nodded: "Then you don't do morning exercises anymore? What time do you get up?"

"I no longer practice in the morning. If there is a matinee game, I go directly to the stadium to practice. When you get to the major leagues, you will find that people don't practice much during the season. Most of the menus are fixed, unless the state has been bad. I usually Get up between 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock, you can refer to it."

Shen Qin thought about it. Yuri used to practice with him, but he didn't seem to practice much on earth. The real independent training was only in the offseason~ "Sleeping on the way flying around?"

"No, everyone is having fun on the road. Just get used to it. If you're on a long trip, you'll still take a nap. If you're on a short trip, just talk about it. Otherwise, you can just look at the data and stuff."

"Noise-cancelling earphones and eye masks are ready, if you are not used to it, you have to get used to it."

Shen Qin nodded: "I'm very used to this. When I was in college, I often took the bus to and from home and away games. I couldn't sleep if I didn't stuff it up."

West emphasized: "It's better not to sleep, you have to get stuck in time, otherwise there will be problems with your state and biological clock for a long time after insomnia."

This is true. For professional players, the major league season lasts so long, and there are games almost every day. As long as there is a problem with sleep time one day, it will cause joint problems. However, there is no free time to adjust in the follow-up. On a moving day, there is no time for the body to get used to it again, which will be very troublesome.

Especially for the very tiring position of catcher.

"By the way, if the stick is going well, you can defend first base more when you have time, so that we can interact more. If you are familiar with squatting and catching later, it will be smoother to communicate with other teammates."

Shen Qin rubbed his head in embarrassment: "Have you forgotten? In the previous exhibition game, I didn't know how to guard first base."

Tsk!West touched his nose, it has been almost a year, and he really forgot.Well, it's really weird that a catcher, who was a pretty good tool in the amateur stage, can't hold first base?
If conditions permit, I really want to see how bad the so-called bad defense is!

Thinking of this, Shen Qin patted him and encouraged him: "It's your first show. Anything can happen. Don't take it too seriously. Just perform normally! Newcomers should rush! Run, run, run! Use your speed to scare them. I watched With these basic data, you can move quickly."

Shen Qin was a little excited: "I have lifted the ban. A few days ago to adapt to the game, I was not allowed to run at full strength for fear of injury, but I can start today. I hope the coach will give me a higher freedom to steal bases."

Stealing bases is a highly skilled move, and a bad one can easily lead to the outcome of the game, so many coaches are very strict in this area.

To put it simply, if I tell you to steal, you have to steal, if I tell you to fight and run, you can fight and run, and if I don't speak, you are not allowed to act on your own!In short, everything is done according to the instructions!

But some coaches will relax for some specific players. These players have very good self-judgment ability and have a good grasp of their own abilities and the situation on the field. Therefore, they have considerable influence on what tactics should be adopted. autonomy.

Could this little rookie be like this?

"I run fast!" Shen Qin emphasized, as if he was afraid that the other party would not feel at ease, and added: "I will come after the number of outs and the batting situation, oops, I forgot to understand the pinch level of today's starting pitchers .”

West has been in the American League for a long time, and the statistics come out: "He is not very good at containing. He has only been eliminated once in his career."

Shen Qin blinked: "Actually, one time sounds pitiful, but it's a lot of times, right? Many pitchers don't have one."

West couldn't help laughing, it's really like this, this kind of sample is not accurate: "It has nothing to do with containment, his preparatory action is relatively large, and it is easy to be stolen. After communicating with the coach, you can give full play to his word order. Come on! Come on!"
