Chapter 139: Chapter 15: Assessment
Another exhausting day!
Seidou's young players practiced very hardly
The first two days belonged to the stage of squeezing physical strength. No matter who it is, facing such a simple and rough exercise method, will not be able to adapt.
Sawamura is relatively better because he is now practicing his new swing.
Originally, the coaching staff just wanted to let Sawamura try it out and put it on the schedule if it worked and forget it if it didn't work.
Unexpectedly, after Sawamura adopted the squatting stance, the attacking power has been significantly improved.
Fifty balls from the pitchers, fifty balls from the pitching machine!
He hit more than 70%!
Although there were very few long hits, the stability of the hits was significantly improved compared to the morning.
Practice is the truth!
The results of the experiment show that Chris's suggestion is feasible.
Next, Sawamura's training also changed. Although he couldn't keep batting, he could practice squatting and swinging.
"It's so awkward!"
This feeling of squatting is a bit like a horse stance, which is very uncomfortable.
Of course, like the horse stance, when you squat and stand in this way, the lower half of your entire body is stabilized.
When Sawamura swings, all he has to do is keep his arm steady.
Originally, because the joints of his whole body were flexible, when he swung the bat, his entire body moved. This naturally increases the difficulty of the swing accuracy. His whole body is as flexible as a rope, and naturally, there is no way to point where to hit. Now that Sawamura has stabilized his lower body, it is much easier to simply adjust his upper body.
Of course, such a swing also has its weaknesses. Because you stabilize your lower body, you can only strike with the strength of your two arms. Compared with starting from the feet to the waist, to the arms, the swing of the whole body goes all out.
The new swing is naturally weaker in terms of power.
Swing practice is followed by pitching practice, and pitching practice is followed by fielding practice.
While Sawamura was doing fielding training, Superintendent Kataoka called the current three catchers of the First String to his office.
"How is the situation of Furuya?"
Facing the three, Kataoka asked bluntly.
The first person to ask about this is Furuya.
This made Miyauchi Keisuke stunned for a moment. He has been cooperating with Tanpa in pitching training. He really doesn't know much about the current situation of Furuya.
In his memory, he should still be doing supplementary practice now, right?
Also, he is doing pretty bad…
Totally not qualified to play.
There are Sawamura, Tanpa, and Kawakami as a substitute in the team…
Originally, Miyauchi did not think that Furuya would have a chance to play. Not to mention, fighting for the Ace number with Sawamura and Tanpa.
Now listening to the superintendent's question, it seems that it is still possible to send Furuya on the field.
Although Kataoka didn't say it directly, everyone could still understand what he meant.
"According to your instructions, I didn't let him into the bullpen to practice Pitching in the past two days. He should be suffocated. However, there have been very obvious improvements in covering bases and defense." Chris said fluently.
If during this period, among the pitchers of Seidou, who has made the greatest progress, it is undoubtedly Furuya.
Pitcher fielding and cover, if points are counted. A perfect score of 100, Sawamura is at least 98.
Tanpa is 90.
85 for Kawakami.
The gap between them is obvious, but in fact, they are already very high in completion. Like Sawamura, it is extremely difficult for him to go further.
During the training period, his progress was minimal.
This evaluation is all polite, he actually have a small to no progress. Tanpa and Kawakami have at least improved by a point or two.
Furuya is different, Furuya was originally a big flat zero 0.
He doesn't know anything about pitching knowledge and skill except throwing.
In the two months of Seidou's intensive training, he has made rapid progress and has grown to 59 points.
Although he didn't have a passing grade yet, it is still usable.
On this side, all the coaching staff of Seidou High School, including Chris, were very surprised.
They had to admit that Furuya, seemed to be born for baseball.
Miyuki added.
"His physical fitness has reached the limit, and I believe he can start pitching in the bullpen tomorrow."
Miyauchi looked at Chris and Miyuki strangely.
The three of them are in the bullpen, and almost all of them are fixed partners by themselves.
Kawakami partnered with Miyuki, Sawamura partnered with Chris, and he partnered with Tanpa.
Occasionally there are swaps, but most of the time, this is the case.
Because of the Camp's training, the physical and mental energy of Miyauchi has also been doubly tortured. He has no time to focus on the three pitchers with the remaining energy. How could he have the time to focus on other people?
However, Miyuki and Chris were able to tell the truth about the situation of Furuya Satoru.
'Incredible!'
Shouldn't they be just like him, just dealing with Tanpa, Kawakami, and Sawamura?
Kataoka listened to the answers of the two, nodded slightly, and continued to ask.
"What about Tanpa?"
Asking about Tanpa is naturally the responsibility of Miyauchi.
Miyuki and Chris were very knowledgeable but didn't interrupt Miyauchi.
"His state is very good! The new breaking ball has been honed very smoothly. Although Sawamura is now overtaking him in the limelight, I think the current Tanpa still has the strength to compete for the Ace number."
This rating is very high!
The Kanto Tournament was like a touchstone, clearly showing the gap between Tanpa and Sawamura.
It was hard for Kataoka to believe what Miyauchi said, that Tanpa already had the qualifications to challenge Sawamura.
He looked suspiciously at Chris and Miyuki.
Right now, Chris and Miyuki are pretending to be deaf and dumb, which is inappropriate. After pondering for a while, Chris spoke first.
"In terms of the quality of his pitching, I don't think Tanpa has the strength to challenge Sawamura right now. But every Pitch he throws can show his fighting spirit. I believe his fighting spirit can also help the team a lot in the coming summer games."
He was directly saying that Miyauchi was overpraising!
Nevertheless, the meaning of his words is very clear, and Chris also admits the strength of Tanpa now.
Kataoka nodded.
In the third grade, because they feel their responsibility, there are no players who haven't made rapid progress in high school.
If Tanpa can really grow up, it will be valuable to him and the entire Seidou High School.
"What about Kawakami?"
With a plan in mind, Kataoka skipped the topic and continued to ask.
Miyuki nodded.
"Kawakami has also worked very hard during this period, and his pitching is good. The breaking balls are sharp and his control is very stable, if his spirit was a bit stronger, there is even the possibility of winning the Ace number."
This is surprising and came out of nowhere.
Miyuki actually said that Kawakami also has the strength to compete for the Ace number, which is really unimaginable.
…
T/N: Actually, I think Kawakami's Skills are very good. If he was as eager as he was in the Fall Tournament, Tetsuya's generation would have gone to Koshien.
