Chapter 255: Breeding Players
"The left fielder almost retreated to the wall, while the right fielder stood much higher."
Ruota Kushi looked thoughtful and thought in his heart about the garrison that Baishan had just been on duty.
"It seems that Bai Shan is ready to get the ball hit, so that the outfielder will choose to pass it directly as soon as possible."
"What a wonderful guard."
The outfielder's straight pass through the home base without hesitation shows that the choice of Matsusaka Shang's attacker to the weak side in the opposite direction was already expected by Baishan.
Baishan's left field stands behind, which means that the hitter who is playing right hits the ball to his left, and Baishan will relay and pass it back as soon as possible.
The relay of the left fielder, shortstop, and catcher, is no slower than a direct pass or even faster.
A wonderful garrison is the result of the joint efforts of all the team members.
I believe that Baishan High School can achieve this performance, and the players have solid basic skills and tacit cooperation.
However, Haruda Hiroshi paid more attention to Tetsu Nishino who was the catcher.
With a sensitive sense of touch of scouts, he soon discovered the dazzling features of Takashi Nishino during the conference.
The first-year catcher of Baishan High School's outstanding blow performance in this county conference attracted the attention of media and scouts from all sides.
The 80% play rate is too exaggerated for one year old.
In comparison, the 4th-game score can already be played at the Jiaziyuan school, so the 80% score is too amazing.
In previous years, there have been players with a playing rate of more than 80%. After all, the strength of schools in local conferences is uneven, so it is easy for strong schools to score big scores.
Generally speaking, most players with a 80% play rate appear in famous schools and have become the target of media at all levels to chase and report.
And there are very few players who play from rural public schools.
"One year-old birth... is not easy to deal with, so let's leave it to the headquarters to decide." Haruda Hiroshi thought.
At first, when he saw a player with excellent performance in Shiratsuyama, Haruda thought he was a third-grade player and wanted to recommend it to the headquarters.
However, after collecting information and examining the competition, he realized that this was a 1-year-old student.
Originally, if Tetsu Nishino was a third-grade player who suddenly broke out, Haruda Hakushi recommended him, and it is likely that the scouts could be selected as a breeding player.
The two major leagues of Japan Professional Baseball have a total of 12 teams, and less than 200 players are selected for the meeting every year.
This also includes socialist teams and players who graduated from college. In fact, there are not many players who can join the professional baseball team after graduating from high school, only a few dozen a year.
However, every year, there are nearly 40,000 baseball players who graduate from third grade in high school in the country.
There are also eight or nine hundred players who can go to Jiaziyuan every summer, most of whom are in the third grade.
So at the appointment meeting, professional teams chose high school graduates to select players, just a little reference to the performance of local conferences and national conferences.
Those who can graduate from high school and join the professional baseball team are basically talented players in every county that have been famous for a long time.
The professional baseball draft is more about the players' long-term development potential, rather than the fame that is gained from one or two conferences.
After observing along the way, Wakada Hirashi was completely shocked by Nishino Tetsu's talent that was visible to the naked eye and was very confident in him.
Even if Shiratsuyama lost the final, relying solely on the performance of this local conference, Wakada Hiroshi also believes that the headquarters will at least use "growing players" to select Tetsu Nishino.
The premise is that Tetsu Nishino is in the third grade and attends the designated meeting in October this year.
Chiga Yamato Kazutakuya is the example of the first. Even if he is a player, Tetsu Nishino's potential is enough to keep the team patient and cultivate carefully.
However, now that Tetsu Nishino is only in the first grade, the situation is a bit different.
If he is in the third grade, the potential and awareness revealed by this conference can become a ticket to a university or a team.
But if it is only the first grade, his performance in the next two years will affect the impression he gives at this conference. It is very likely that he will not be able to enter the third grade again.
As a scout, Haruda Hirashi has seen too many players.
While Ruoda Kushi was thinking, the game on the court also entered the first half of the third inning, and the offensive half of the Shiratsuyama High School was thinking.
At the beginning of the first half of the third inning, Takashi Nishino chose four bad balls to go out, and stole the second base after the first out.
Then Arimori Shin-Yuan, who had three balls, hit a first base, creating a chance to get out of one and three bases, but Hiroki Tsuji, who had four balls, failed to seize the opportunity and hit the inland field.
Matsusaka Shang caught a double kill, got two outs in one go, and held the first half.
"Three out!"
"Off and defense exchange!"
The game entered the second half of the third inning, Matsusaka Shang High School's offensive half of the inning.
After defending Baishan's attack in the first half of the game, Matsusaka High School planned to launch a counterattack in the second half of the game, but the progress was not smooth and it was soon over and over.
"Two outs, get three outs before clearing the home run line, so that the next round of the line will be better off."
Looking at the hitter who walked to the attack area, Takashi Nishino helped out with the mask below and thought.
Now the second stick comes up.
It is best if they can cut off the line of Matsusaka Shang here and try to avoid line-ups against the center when there are people on the base.
First ball.
Takashi Iwata threw an inner corner slide ball.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
When Tetsu Nishino received the ball, he saw that although Matsusaka Shang's second bat was very close to the home plate and seemed more aggressive, he did not easily make a bat.
"Do you choose the ball? It seems that you are a more traditional second-ball player and are good at fighting."
Tetsu Nishino thought this in his heart, and when he saw Matsusaka Shang Erbang's strong and thick thighs, he always felt uneasy.
So he had to keep Takashi Iwata down the ball in the subsequent ball.
For the next three balls, only one of them entered the good ball area, and the ball path was very low.
Matsusaka Shang’s second ball was selected clearly for the ball below the good ball area and was not deceived.
The number of balls is 3 bad and 1 good.
Matsusaka Shang's second-shot hitter did not make any sticks throughout the whole process, but Tetsu Nishino remained vigilant.
Because Takashi Iwada knows that these bad balls with low shots are of good quality, they are only one ball away from the good ball area, and the ball types are also different, including slippery balls and straight balls.
Komatsu Sakasu's second-shot hitters were selected.
This is a problem. The number of 3 bad and 1 good balls is very bad for their capture.
In the final of the county conference, Tetsu Nishino would not have the idea of "the opponent cannot play or dare not play" as a mid-term second.
The reality is that Matsusaka Shang's second ball selection is indeed not bad, and as a left hitter, he has a certain advantage in choosing the right shot.
The fifth goal.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
"Four bad balls, hitters come on base!"
After successfully forcing the four bad balls, Matsusaka Shang's second ball breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bat, and ran to the first base bag.
Chapter completed!
