Chapter 25 13 Stealing Bases
No matter how worried I am, I have to continue the game, but this time the magic is much safer.The first ball came with a bad ball in the inside corner.When Carl Rose saw it was a straight ball, he wanted to swing the bat, but when he found out that it was a ball, he forcibly took the bat back.
Shenzu immediately became vigilant. Karl Rose is not a person who likes to hit the first ball.
In order to further test, Shenzu matched another good or bad ball. This time, Karl Ross couldn't hold back and swung it directly, but it was a pity that the ball was out of bounds.
Shenzu stood up, asked the chief judge for a new ball, threw it to Ogata, and his brain was running at high speed.
Whether it is an inside corner kick or an outside corner kick, a high ball or a low ball is actively swinging, so it is not the position, but the type of ball?
Wanna hit a straight ball?Then let you fight!
Shenzu is still very confident in Ogata's straight ball. After all, only straight balls are the pitcher's lifeline!
"Pong! Pong! Pong!"
After another whistle, Karl Rose stood back to the strike zone a little irritatedly.It was because his thinking was too simple. How could a pitcher who can throw a fastball be so easy to hit the straight ball!
Shenzu did not hesitate to match all the straight balls, but in the end he hit them all out of bounds.
Two good and one bad, Karl Rose still has no idea of changing his strategy. He believes that as long as he hits a few more balls, he will be able to hit a hit.
But Shenzu didn't want to drag him down any longer. The first fight would cause Ogata-senpai's mood to become impetuous, and it might even last the whole round, so it's better to cut the mess quickly.
Being irritated, when he was actually preparing to hit, Carlos forgot all his worries and stared at the pitcher intently.
When the ball was just released from the pitcher's hands, Karl Ross found out that something was wrong. Not only did the ball miss a lot, but the speed was not much.
It's not a straight ball anymore, it's a change ball.Is it a slider?No, it's a changeup!
And the changeup is just within Karl Rose's hunting range.
"Pong!"
The ball was hit to the left field like lightning, and just when everyone thought they were going to pass through the third line of defense, the third baseman of Yamamori made a swoop to stop the ball. The bases are only half the distance.
The third baseman struggled to his feet, grabbing the ball and about to throw a quick pass to first base.And on his pass, Carl Rose was at top speed, eventually running to the bag before the first baseman caught the ball.
And here the first baseman didn't catch the ball well, but fortunately the ball was not bounced, otherwise Karl Rose would have rushed to second base.
Ever since Su Qing became Daoshi's second ace and false fourth bat, Su Qing no longer needed to help runners change protective gear and throw bats.
After all, strength is still the number one on the court, and those with strength don't have to do anything.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Yamamori's catcher is going to be uncomfortable now. I remember his pop time is quite long."
"Susu, stop chewing gum, and don't be afraid to swallow it when you talk."
Su Qing rolled his eyes. It didn't matter if he talked while chewing gum. He could still sprinkle a bunch of melon seeds into his mouth and spit out all the skins in one breath.
"What is pop time?" This time it was Harada who asked. This was the first time he heard this term.
"Oh, the time it takes for the catcher to get the ball to second base."
"That's it." Harada knew about this concept, but he had never heard of this term.
"The pop time is as long as 2.58 seconds. By the time he passes the ball to the second base, he will have stopped playing."
"Is it that long?"
Harada didn't ask where Su Qing's data came from, because this is the first time Su Qing gave data without any source. When asked, Su Qing murmured and didn't say anything, but the data were all correct. .
"Whether it is from the squatting posture or consciousness, Shenzu is too stretched, but his arm strength is flawed. It only takes a few tenths of a second from receiving the ball to second base, and he has more than a second."
"Crouching posture?" Harada understands that it is to judge whether the batter will steal a base and respond in time.
"Shenzu squats too hard. He can catch the ball more stably by squatting like this, but it is also difficult to borrow the strength to get up from this posture. It will be very slow to get up like this."
Harada was dubious, it was the first time he heard that the speed of getting up was related to the posture of squatting.
"Then do you have any good method?"
Su Qing hesitated after hearing this, then glanced at Harada, and said an irrelevant topic:
"How flexible are you?"
Su Qing does have a good method. Before he was reborn, this method was already very popular, but this method requires extremely high physical fitness of the catcher, so it cannot be practiced casually. Very easy to get hurt.
That's right, it is the squatting method of the iron catcher who has been squatting for more than ten years.
Harada was also a little hesitant. He didn't know how to speak.
"Okay?"
As a catcher, he thinks his flexibility is pretty good.
"Can you do the split?"
"Cough cough cough! What are you talking about?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't cut a horse, even if you can barely chop one. Is that okay?"
Harada shook his head. The only one in the team who could do the splits was Riku Yamaoka.
"Then forget it.*
"What?"
"You're not flexible enough. I've taught you how to do it. If you practice forcefully, something will happen."
"so tough?"
Su Qing nodded. In his previous life, there were a bunch of kids who didn't understand anything. When they saw the professional masters squatting like this, they imitated them, and ended up ruining themselves.He didn't want this kind of thing to happen to Harada, after all, he and Harada had a fight.
"Then is it too late for me to start practicing now? I'm talking about flexibility."
Harada didn't want to give up any chance to improve his ability.
Su Qing thought for a while, and finally nodded, not everyone has the same body as Molina.But not all catchers in the major leagues have practiced, so this thing should also be practiced the day after tomorrow.
After Harada saw Su Qing nodding, he was going to change his training menu and add more flexibility training.
"You seem to know the catcher quite well, did you learn it from your former partner?"
Harada asked curiously.
After Su Qing heard it, he thought, of course, as a pitcher, he is the closest to the catcher, and he is often invited by the catcher family to enlighten their children, so he can learn more about catchers .But how should he explain it to Harada?You can't talk about your previous life.
"Well, when I used to play ball in the United States, there were often professional players in the community, including a catcher. I would also listen when he taught other children how to do catcher training."
"Eh! Pro players? Major league players?! Really?!"
