Chapter 224 4 Small Strike Zones
Miyuki never expected to meet seniors whom he knew well in an exchange game at the Gold Coin Baseball Center.

However, this Dongqing country senior who joined professional baseball after graduating from high school is really too fat now... no wonder he was ordered to lose weight.

But even if it is to lose weight, isn't it going to the Second Army?How could it be lost to the baseball center here during the season?
To Qingguo’s response to this is to take a look at the strike class here. After all, this year’s spring training started, and the legendary hitter Hiromichi Kojima, who is about to retire, began to create miracles one by one.

Originally, everyone was still waiting and watching, after all, this was just spring training~
But as the official season unfolds...

The opponent still maintains an excellent hitting feel.

At this time, various comments from the Gold Coin Baseball Center also came out. Of course, most people still adhere to the idea of ​​​​seeing first before talking, waiting to see the joke~
But obviously Dong Qingguo's advice doesn't think so, and even hopes that people can come here to try, especially since there are healthy meals around here, even the professional players of the Jackals eat it, so there must be no problem.

"So? Maybe you can try it." Miyuki said seriously: "Guma's hitters are very good at hitting low-angle pitches, and their practice methods should be effective for this."

The previous game data includes videos and statistics provided by the baseball center, which can actually be seen very clearly.The hitters on Gu Mo's side did not hesitate to hit low-angle balls, and they could bite right.

Dong Qingguo's eyes widened. He is a gunner in the true sense. Huge strength is his talent, but also because of this, his swing trajectory is longer than others, and the time for judgment is shorter, so the chance of swinging is also lower. It is bigger than others. Naturally, the swing rate of the low-angle ball is also greater because of this arc.

Not to mention the most popular type of ball to suppress hitters in professional baseball right now?
It's a low-angle pitch...

Who doesn't know that phrase that all players can hear?
——Keep it down! !

Keep the ball down!It's not easy for the hitter~
If only there was a way to be particularly good at hitting low angled pitches...

Dong Qingguo rubbed his chin~ It seems that Mr. Kojima is like this... How long has it been since spring training, has he adjusted it like this?
Healthy meals to buy!You have to buy this percussion class! !
"Let's go~ Spend money!!" Entering a career, financial freedom, Dongqing country itself is not the temperament to hide money, and it is not soft to spend~
Miyuki: (〃'▽'〃)..."I, practice..."

"A little later~I'll treat you to dinner later."

Yuxing was helpless~ Didn't say that the restaurant is free for them to play the exchange game.

……

"Here~ Pay attention to this point." Shen Yao is leading the striking team to class at the moment~ He and his brother are now dividing the labor and cooperation, and the striking part basically falls on him: "Basically, the coach has mentioned the striking posture This question, why can't the head be lowered, the body can't be poked out~"

"Hey, it makes sense to adjust this, but if the adjustments we made make your body uncomfortable and the strike feels bad, then you must bring it up. If you think about these things, you should focus on the ball selection first. bring it on."

"I don't need to say much about the importance of ball selection ability, at least it is very idiomatic for pitchers."

"One of the key points now is that everyone has to learn to narrow their strike zone."

Yuichiro asked curiously: "But Kojima-san's strike class doesn't have this content."

"I didn't cut corners." Shen Yao clicked his tongue: "He has been playing professionally for 21 years, he has his own habits, and he is much more familiar with the chief judge than us, so it is meaningless to do this again. And Everyone is about to retire, and what they want is the short-term best results, and you are still in the groping stage, so the direction you are going is different, OK?"

Yuichiro's big eyes blinked, and he didn't know whether he understood or not: "Then... why do you want to shrink?"

"Avoid the habit of chasing bad balls meaninglessly. When your own ability is insufficient, this behavior is equivalent to drawing a good ball to send the pitcher, which is of little significance. And... you are still using metal rods now. It’s really not that obvious.”

"Patience is a mutual process. If the pitcher is always dawdling and cornering, it is easy to communicate with the hitter, good or bad, it is easy to hit under the impulse. And if the other way around, if the hitter is on the pick It is especially fine, and if the corners are not easy to get a good number of balls, if they are all directly let go or picked, the pitcher will be very irritable if there are too many times."

"However, if we use machines to practice, there will be a disadvantage, because the ball machine is always relatively fixed, and you will naturally be able to figure out the rules after playing more times for a long time."

"And if this is the case, your own head or body will know what kind of ball the next moment will be like, which is not good for practice."

"So we still need to feed the ball, not to mention how good the pitcher is, at least he must be able to throw the ball that you can't guess. In terms of consciously shuffling the order, machines will never be able to compare with humans."

"However, I will use equipment to check everyone's ball selection. At this point, the strike zone is fixed, because we use an electronic strike zone, not a catcher. I will base it on the inside and outside of the strike zone. Make a judgment, if in the same round, the one with the most outstanding ball selection ability, there will be a special reward."

what! !

This is the key point, the full text is very happy, because every time it is said that there is a reward, it must be a really novel reward.

"In addition, we have been recruiting 9 pitchers recently, and the salary is not low. Everyone must practice hard."

After hearing this, Tiger Taro felt a little embarrassed: "Why don't we apply for the fee and declare it from the school."

Shen Yao gave him a blank stare: "This is not for you, you are just passing by, this is mainly the input of the hemisphere center for other guests who need adjustment."

"..." Kotaro rubbed his nose, feeling a little speechless, but if this thing can really be done and can improve the player's ball selection ability, baseball pants can be introduced in the future. After all, it doesn't take much effort. He You can also do it yourself.

Shen Yao blinked, he knew exactly what Tiger Taro was thinking, and said helplessly: "Feeding the ball is a very important and complicated technical task. Of course, if you can make various changes and the speed of the ball is in place, then you should be I didn't say anything."

Kotaro shut up and didn't speak~ He will vote a few, but the level is definitely unmatched.

Then Shen Yao continued: "When should I swing? When should I let go of the lure ball? This is a matter that requires a lot of experience. It is impossible to ask you to do this in a short period of time at this stage. Things to do well, but at least outside the relative strike zone, you can learn to control and don't swing randomly. It is very difficult for young lovers to hold back the bat at the right time. .”

Throughout his career, such examples are simply too numerous to mention, especially in young players who have just entered the major leagues very often.

On the one hand, these players are more impatient and want to show themselves better.On the one hand, he is really not good at ball selection, not suitable for major league pitchers, nor for major league referees.They can't find the narrowing strike zone that fits them best, so they're constantly swinging bats that aren't necessary.

This also makes them prone to electric fans. .Always gives people a feeling of waving.

Generally speaking, if you can bear it, when you can choose the ball well, that is a big step towards the veteran class.

"We will have a more appropriate scoring system here. It can be based on the batter's choice of batting under different ball counts and different entry points, and then perform relative scoring."

"It's just that our requirements will be higher, because you need to narrow your own strike zone. Under normal circumstances, strikes will turn into bad strikes for you. Once you chase down bad strikes, points will be deducted. .”

Yuichiro and Kosuke Izumi looked at each other, both worried.Unlike other pitchers, the two of them are so-called smart hitters.Generally speaking, there is no problem with hitting. They have a relatively high hitting rate when they come down, but their long hitting ability is slightly weaker.But in fact, they will pursue the disadvantages that are a little bit more than the benefits, because they are confident that they can destroy the ball.

But if according to the current situation, if all bad balls outside the narrowed strike zone are not touched, they are also afraid that they will swing because they are not used to it.

This is very depressing.

Shen Yao also said: "The No. 7 batting field will be opened recently, and there will be monitors on each fairway. All hitters will have one fairway per person. And your immediate reaction will appear on the screen in real time. So how is your state? , you will know immediately that you can make slow adjustments according to your own situation, and you can use it at any time without a time limit. But I hope you pay attention not to overdo it, and you must have the ability to control yourself.”

"Wow~" The children who were a little sluggish just now became excited.They are also a little afraid of being restrained. Their daily practice time is actually fixed and quantitative.The equipment here is precious, so naturally there is no reason for them to use it 24 hours a day.

But now the fairways are open all day. Although this kind of hitting mode may be boring, just thinking about the scene where you can go in at any time by yourself makes you feel a little happy.

But when I think about it, I have some doubts: "Is it using a ball machine now?"

"The service opportunity uses small balls and digital balls. There are also pitchers from the Second Army to cooperate~ Afterwards, there will be special feeding pitchers who will slowly come in. Of course, the pitchers have their own training plan every day, and the balls they use Within the range of the number, I can also be your partner."

"Wow!" Yuichiro and Izumi clenched their fists ~ happy! !Want to hit your own pitcher!
"When the schedule was so good, none of our team's aces could compete with our team's hitters."

Shen Yao nodded: "Is this a normal situation? Isn't there a saying that the king does not see the king? Although I don't care much about it myself."

You can't care about this when you are playing professionally.After all, the mobility of players still accounts for the majority. Although there are many teams signed by ace pitchers who are reluctant to let go, but when conditions permit, sometimes there is no way to choose.

So even when the baby's head is thrown, there is nothing wrong with practicing a day in advance, anyway, we will meet on the court sooner or later.

There are even many very strong pitchers who will schedule various matchups with hitters during the offseason.If Dazi is unwilling, then they will have to spend money to hire minor league or lower-level players to practice.

Shen Yao used to have a better pitcher, and the two have been partners for many years, but because they are in the offseason, they will go to Montero or run around the training base with their parents to help the young players.

And that pitcher lives on the West Coast, so most of them can't get together to practice during the offseason.

So that pitcher will ask someone to practice, but he is considered a relatively high-end pitcher, and he likes to research and develop various types of balls. At this time, he can only go to some baseball centers to make appointments.Of course, everyone's mainstream did not say that I paid you to help me fight this kind of statement.

But it's normal to take gambling. For example, if you play against me, how much money will you win?How much is a hit?How much is it to play at full strength?But a kind of sparring with a motivating mode.

In this area~pitchers obviously suffer more than hitters.

After all, it's no big deal that hitters don't really need 'human' help at that stage.

Even if adjustments are required, there are other ways to make them without a pitcher.

"The biggest usefulness of this system is that you can clearly know when and in which way you should do what kind of thing, and what kind of mode you should not do in meaningless behavior. It is very precious, and if you use it well, you will get better results. This is something that will benefit you for a lifetime, and I hope everyone can take it seriously.”

The players all nodded seriously, and only Renji asked: "Then we are used to the streamlined strike zone, will we make wrong judgments during the official game? It's a strike but we don't swing the bat or something like that? "

Shen Yao glanced at him approvingly: "Of course it's not that simple. Now the so-called narrowing of the strike zone actually refers to the effective swing within the range. In other words, it is the best swinging point to hit the base. .The odds of hitting a hit in that zone are higher."

"As for the outside of the area, it is the point of damage. It can be damaged, but it is not the first choice of hitting point. There are also problems outside the strike zone ~ I will talk about it next time, after all, it is a problem of hitting, and now, let's say It’s still about picking the ball.”
