Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

As for poor Aso, he didn't snatch the center fielder number he dreamed of from Tojo in the end, but got the left field number he least wanted.

Although this made him unhappy and disappointed, he had no other choice. Who said this was the arrangement of the coaching staff! Helpless, he could only take the starting number as a substitute player, and had to constantly comfort himself that this was a good starting position!

I have to accept the celebrations from my friends in a depressed mood, even though I really don’t think this is a very happy thing at all!

Fortunately, others did not hear his thoughts about Versailles, otherwise he would definitely be beaten! Even if it is a substitute position in the first army, it can make many people flock to it!

Being able to watch the game up close, you will naturally learn and feel much more than others, and being on the bench means that you are qualified to be selected, instead of just sitting in the audience and watching for everyone. come on.

That's why the competition for the top spot on the wealthy high school baseball team is so fierce. Even though there are only twenty people, they are all carefully selected like a wave of waves!

And some people with dazzling talents will always be given priority on the field. The most important things in baseball are pitching and hitting, followed by the most basic defense. Compared with the infield that needs to be strictly defended, the requirements of the outfield are relatively relatively high. looser.

Therefore, most coaches will put people with hitting abilities in these positions to hone them, and also increase their team's hitting capabilities to achieve offensive purposes.

This arrangement is reasonable and reasonable. Don’t you think Aso knows about it? Of course it was impossible. He knew clearly that he was so unhappy just because his blow was worse than Tojo's.

He was not unhappy with the left field, but he felt very unwilling to admit defeat that he was a senior and was one of the four batsmen in the junior high school team, but now he could not even hit as well as a first-year player.

I believe that his hitting will be even better in the future, allowing him to add to his strong defense and continue to increase his weight in the minds of the coaching staff to gain an exclusive position.

Ochiai on the side had already noticed Kataoka's hesitation at that moment, and was stroking the mustache on his chin and lost in thought. Director Kataoka seemed to have a soft spot for Sawamura!

Although Ochiai also believed that Sawamura's future was limitless, and that his own pitching talent could even surpass Akatsuki Fukitani, he did not think that Sawamura could sharpen all the change-up pitches in his limited three-year high school career, and be able to do it all. To achieve ball control, you must at least hit the strike zone!

Otherwise, those balls may be good balls or bad balls. In the end, is it a good thing or a bad thing? ! That’s not necessarily true. Who can say for sure!

In comparison, training Fang Guxiao who is in the same grade is easier to produce results and is relatively more cost-effective. After all, Fang Guxiao's baseball talent is also there!

No hard work needed to develop, his ball speed just needs to be controlled. As long as he can tame the baseball in his hand and accurately throw it into the catcher's glove, not everyone can deal with his ball speed alone!

After Kurosawa and the others graduate, he can lead the team to Koshien and even win the national championship. It will not be difficult. That is, both physical strength and ball control must have been solved. As long as he can meet a matching catcher, He can completely strike out all his opponents and win.

According to Ochiai's opinion, in the three years of high school, when Kurosawa enters the third grade next year, it is still impossible for the two of them to become aces. This just gives them time to improve their respective shortcomings. A team with Furitani as the core is still Very easy to form.

And his position for Sawamura has always been to do a good job of rescue and relay. After all, in the direct game to Koshien, one pitcher will never be able to survive. Then a few will be selected from the first grade. That's totally fine.

However, who made Coach Kataoka his partner! Then there is nothing you can do, just spend more time with this kid! Ochiai could only give up his inner thoughts temporarily.

"Sawamura-kun, come with me. Let's confirm the pitching combination and state for the game." Ochiai then immediately named Sawamura and Miyuki and took the two of them away. It was said that they were going for secret training.

Kurosawa was left standing there helplessly holding his forehead, thinking about who would be the starting pitcher in the first game! I have to doubt it now! Is it true that Kazuya just abandoned me like this?

He looked around at the people leaving in pairs and groups. For a moment, he didn't know what to do, or who to leave with. Then he thought hard for a moment.

Well! He would just follow Koharu City to practice wooden sticks first. After all, he had promised Liang Sang before to take care of his younger brother's blows.

He really wanted to complain about Liangsang, this terrible hidden disciple. Koharu's striking talent is obviously very good, so how can he use my teachings! Is this the constant worry from my brother? It's really enough...

Kurosawa said that he is obviously a pitcher! Why do you have to teach others to fight!

Liang Sang appears with a smile on his face. Do you want to break the contract? This is the senior's request! You agreed to it yourself!

Don't dare! I will definitely teach my brother well and promise to complete the task, Kurosawa quickly denied and assured.

Well! Forget it, it’s not like it can’t be taught! Kurosawa felt his whole body tremble when he thought about it, and he felt much better instantly!

At that time, Kurosawa looked at Ryo-san with a smile on his face, and he had no choice but to agree. He always felt that if he didn't agree, it would be difficult for him!

After all, I had just offended him at that time and told the coach directly about his injury, causing him to leave the field early. After that, he had to agree to his instructions.

Well! Although I don’t really want to refuse, after all, Koharu is very cute! But this can't be discovered by Liang Sang, who is controlled by his younger brother, otherwise he will really be unable to eat and walk around! Kurosawa thought with a smile and hurriedly walked towards Haruichi.

Make a reservation first! I wonder if he has made an appointment with anyone else! Wouldn’t it be bad to show up rashly like this? Who knows!

Kurosawa walked over and asked naturally: "Is Haruichi going to practice swinging later?"

"Ah, Kurosawa-san! Me?! I'm going to swing the bat." Haruichi was startled by Kurosawa's sudden appearance, and quickly replied with a blush, Kurosawa-senpai and the new coach It seems! Are they all so elusive?

Haruichi remembered that the coach at that time asked him why he used a wooden bat. Even though he could not fully use the true power of the wooden bat with his current strength, he still insisted on using a wooden bat to hit the ball.

Of course I know this very well! But...but if I don't do this, how can I surpass my brother! So no matter how difficult the stick is and how hard the practice is, I will never give up.

My brother and I have different hitting skills. I will use the wooden bat in my hand to hit long hits and home runs that even my brother cannot hit, and create a baseball world of my own. When the time comes, I will become the pride of my brother. I will be recognized by him.

Kurosawa looked at Haruichi who was gradually immersed in his own thoughts after answering. He was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he took people directly to the place where he usually practiced swinging. He could practice his wooden bat training with Haruichi. Woolen cloth!

After all, I am not a spiritual mentor or anything like that! It took me a long time to understand Kazuya's psychology!

Anyway, baseball players only need to use their bats to talk, and there is no need to play those empty games, not to mention Haruichi doesn’t seem to be the kind of person to look down on! To a certain extent, this guy may be even more stubborn and scary than Liang Sang!

And as long as he can improve his striking power when using a wooden stick, wouldn't all other problems be solved? After all, strength is the last word!

After that, Kurosawa began to scan Haruichi's blows continuously, adjusting and recording the data, thinking that he could take it back and show it to his father later.

After all, my ability in this area is not enough to do such professional things! Let the professionals do the professional things! However, it is true that there is still some lack of strength, but the talent in terms of ball feel is really high!

Haruichi is indeed a baseball genius!
