After school the next day, Shuji Kitahara followed Yuma Uchida to the school's baseball field.
Don't look at the fact that he has been studying here for more than half a year, this is the first time he has come here, and his range of activities is quite small, mainly staying in the teaching building. he I looked around curiously and found that the conditions were okay.
The stadium is fan-shaped at right angles, surrounded by very high and fine barbed wire, but only on one side there is an open-air spectator seat, no seats, just concrete steps, and on the other side is a small gray two-story building, probably a storage room, a meeting room, a locker room and something like that.
After all, it's just a practice court, compared to many schools like a wasteland, it's already pretty good, and it can be seen that Daifuku Industrial Group is really wealthy, and many school practice courts don't plant lawns for the field at all, not even football fields, at least the field here is grass, probably an imitation of Koshien.
Uchida Yuma took Kitahara Shuji directly into the two-story building, and introduced him along the way: "Upstairs is the office of the supervising teacher and the honor room, but the honor room is empty now.
Ah, this is the tactics room, this is the video room, there is the equipment room, this is what Coach Suzuki asked the school for."
He introduced it very seriously, looking like Kitahara Shuji was going to be here for a long time in the future, but Kitahara Shuji patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't talk about this, help me find a dress to change into first." ” Yesterday Suzuki Noki agreed to use that request in exchange for him for a trial, and he said that counts, and today he really came, but he didn't plan to do it for a long time, and he was going to go back after disgusting Suzuki Noshi, and it was useless to listen to this.
Uchida Yuma immediately took him into the locker room, and there were already six or seven people in the locker room changing clothes, and they were all stunned when they saw Kitahara Shuji.
Kitahara Shuji is a big celebrity in the school, and there are no second and third grade seniors here, so the first-year students present quickly weighed the status of both sides, and immediately found their own position, and began to greet each other first.
Kitahara Shuji knew one of the neighbors, but he still greeted everyone politely, and then replaced the baseball jersey suit that Uchida Yuma found with a black long-sleeved bodysuit, a white short-sleeved shirt, and white trousers and sneakers.
Baseball uniforms have only started to come in more colors in modern times, and traditionally they should all be white.
In previous games, the home team wore white and the away team wore white with stripes, mainly because the baseball stadium was large, and the color contrast between wearing white and the gray ground was large, making it easy for the audience to see the movements of the athletes.
In addition, from an engineering point of view, baseball games are concentrated in spring, summer and autumn, and it is necessary to run or stand under the sun for a long time, and the white color is not easy to heat and helps to conserve physical strength.
But Kitahara Shuji didn't like it, this white was easy to get dirty, and he was upset when he saw it.
He was even more determined not to join the baseball team, and Yuma Uchida had already explained to his fellow clubmates that Kitahara had invited Noki Suzuki to try out as a pitcher.
Everyone was welcome, not even the original pitcher.
There are only twelve people in the whole team, there are not enough substitutes, and there is only one pitcher, and the average team has to have two or three pitchers, divided into starting pitchers, relay pitchers, and even find left pitchers to prepare for the confrontation of left hitters, so as not to hit the opponent with right and left to fight extremely easily, and be easily scored.
If Kitahara Shuji didn't come, let him shoot hundreds of balls with all his might, he himself was afraid of a shortage of pitchers, and a team called a pitcher to death, and it was not unheard of that the pitcher would be crippled before he was an adult.
Koshien is actually a bloody forest, and in order to enter Koshien, a large number of people practice every year Everyone showed great kindness to the increase in manpower, but Uchida Yuma changed his protective gear and asked Kitahara in a low voice with hesitation, "Kitahara, don't you really want to stay?"
He hopes that Kitahara Shuji can stay, although Kitahara Shuji knows a little bit about baseball at most, which is what he and Shikijima Ritsu usually told Kitahara Shuji, but he has confidence in Kitahara Shuji, and feels that he is at least much better than ordinary people when he practices casually.
If you have a strong partner, it is really not a dream to go to Koshien, and there have been countless times in the history of Koshien that he has led a team into Koshien alone.
If he can enter Koshien to play in college, even if he can't win the championship and win the banner, then he is willing to live three years less.
It's a holy place for high school boys all over Japan, and it can be blown for a lifetime.
But Kitahara shook his head lightly and replied in a low voice, "I don't have time to do this."
"He's a butt now, how can he have that leisure to play ball, and he's now ranked first in his grade, and he doesn't need these things to add points to enter college, so he might as well take a look at the courses in the second and third years of high school, maybe he can take the entrance exam in advance, then it will save a year."
Uchida Yuma sighed in disappointment, but immediately laughed again: "I understand, I will cooperate with you." ” Now the whole team is just one catcher, and Kitahara Shuji is doing pitcher tryout, so he can only be his partner, and as long as the two of them cooperate and prove that Kitahara Shuji has no pitching talent, then this matter will be pulled down.
Although he is afraid of Suzuki Noshi, but when it comes to friendship, he must still be distressed when Suzuki Noki dies in Kitahara Shuji, maybe he will have to celebrate secretly Kitahara Shuji shook his head lightly and smiled: "No, Uchida, Suzuki is not a fool, she is not easy to deceive."
You can just play normally, but don't blame me when you turn around, I really don't want to come. ” Uchida Yuma was stunned, he didn't understand what Kitahara Shuji meant, and Kitahara Shuji helped him check the protective gear, in case he really injured him later, playing street ball in the snow, and beat his little friend who was a catcher to a bone crack, which Kitahara Shuji knew.
Of course, that kind of street kid plays without protective gear, just a baseball glove, and he is also young and brittle, so he should be fine if he changes to Uchida Oma, but just in case, he still has to check it, and he can't really hurt Suzuki because he is messing around.
When everything was ready, Kitahara Shuji went out and entered the stadium and saw that Suzuki was already waiting on the baseball field, and Suzuki looked at Kitahara Shuiji's upright posture and his eyes were quite a match for his own height, 1.76 meters with 1.65 meters was just right.
Kitahara Shuji didn't care what she thought, walked over and smiled directly: "Let's start, if the team is not suitable for me, you don't want to be a scoundrel anymore." ” Although school ends early, it's not yet four o'clock, but don't delay me from going home to study and cooking.
Noki Suzuki saw that Kitahara Shuji was so urgent, and he didn't understand what tricks Kitahara Shuji planned to play.
As for saying that Kitahara Shuji will not work hard, then the first person she doesn't believe in his character is not that kind of person, if he wanted to rely on the debt, he would have relied on it a long time ago, and he wouldn't play this kind of careful trick.
He's going to give it his all, but what if he's going to give it his all She shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Then let's start."
Then she turned her head and beckoned, "Shimoda, come here."
A short boy ran over, and Noki Suzuki directly ordered: "Kitahara-san, who has never played baseball, you can point him out." ” Kitahara Shuji has no opinion, he really won't, and said politely: "I'm sorry for your trouble, Shimoda-san."
"He didn't know this person, it seemed to be a student in Class J, and he wasn't in the same school building.
Shimoda took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Kitahara-san, the first time we met, I am Shimoda Jinan, please give me more advice in the future." ” He was very enthusiastic, afraid that Kitahara Shuji would run away and really end up throwing him alone, so he hurriedly took a baseball and handed it to Kitahara Shuji, and said easily: "It's not difficult to pitch, just aim and throw it over." ” Kitahara Shuji didn't believe it, it was as easy as he said, so every year those famous families go crazy to find good pitchers Is it sick that last year's Koshien best pitcher seemed to have been taken away by Todai, and he didn't go directly to the professional team, but went to the advanced university to play in the college league.
The runner-up pitcher who lost to him entered the professional team directly after graduating from high school, and currently seems to be a relay pitcher, with an annual salary of 41 million yen and a signing fee of 80 million yen.
At the beginning, Uchida Yuma also fantasized about being like that guy in the future, earning more money a year than others for 20 years.
But then again, if it's just for the money, and if you have talent at the same time, playing baseball in Japan is really a good choice, after all, there are so many people.
It's a pity that life can't be just for money, and it's too stupid to use money only to pursue money, but you can't be swayed by money, and it's the choice of smart people to live your own life.
He checked the baseball in his hand, about 150 grams, that is, three or two, it felt very hard and strong, and it was estimated that it was enough to drink a pot when smashed on his body.
Shimoda Jio took Kitahara Shuji to the pitcher's mound, that is, the middle of the diamond shape surrounded by home plate, first base, second base, and third base in the infield, and then pointed to Uchida Yuma, who had squatted in the direction of home plate, the temporary player who served as the referee, and a hitter standing in the right hitting area, and said: "We use the green baseball field, which is not enough for 18 meters, should Kitahara-san shoot one and try that first, and which pitching method does Kitahara-san use to press up, Side-to-side or underhook method, hey, Kitahara-san, has he never pitched a ball, do you want me to explain the basic up-pressure shooting method first?"
He didn't think it was right when he saw Kitahara Shuji standing on the pitcher's mound, generally people with pitching experience would put their center of gravity and feet directly on the pitcher's board when they got on the pitcher's mound, but this one is good, both feet are on it, which is not even a beginner It's not as easy as you think to throw a ball into the good ball area from nearly 20 meters away, there is no long-term practice or natural ball control, it is really casually thrown away, after all, it is only the width of a person.

Usually throwing a rock from 20 meters away is not guaranteed to hit a person, let alone a spinning ball.
Kitahara Shuji really doesn't understand, he has only watched a baseball game once, and he still watched Uchida Yuma being pressed to the ground and rubbing it, but he still politely refused If he really plans to develop in this direction, then he must study it carefully, but it's not not, he left after throwing the ball, so why do you care so much He smiled, "I'm just going to cast for that, now I can start."
He wanted to finish shooting quickly and leave quickly, but he also had to ask, in case there was anything else to pay attention to, after all, the last time I watched a baseball game, the pitchers were grinding and chirping, and they were as cautious as if they didn't shoot well.
People who are anxious to watch baseball games can really smash the TV, can you shoot or not, can you hurry up?
Jio Shimoda is fully confirmed, although Shuji Kitahara is a celebrity in high school kendo, he is a super novice in the baseball circle.
The way he holds the ball feels awkward, and the layman's is too obvious.
But even so, he didn't want Kitahara Shuji to run, so he thought about it and said, "The first ball, Kitahara-san can throw it in front of the pitcher's mound." ” After getting off the pitcher's mound, you will enter the field ball level in the open space on the street, or the category of coaxing girls to play, why do girls play baseball very rarely, because the strength is not enough, and they can't throw it that far, otherwise they finally threw it with the strength of milk, but the ball speed is extremely slow, one stick is accurate, and it is all about sending points and hitting rates.
Every year at the start of the professional baseball game, a female singer or a movie star will be invited to throw the opening ball, but nine out of ten must not be thrown to home plate, only the hitter can swing the bat to be considered a good ball, can not give the girl face, always can not be thrown hard and be judged bad ball, can only the hitter take the initiative to cooperate.
That's still an adult woman, it's even worse to change high school girls, there are girls on the baseball field in the school to play, and boys will let girls be five or six meters tall, which is considered to coax them to have fun.
Shimoda Jio This is to reduce the difficulty of Kitahara Shuji, so as not to slip away from being discouraged by Kitahara Shuji's throw, and Kitahara Shuji is a very cautious person, after all, he has never played, and asked in surprise: "Can I go to the front and cast?"
Eighteen meters is not too far, and it can be further forward "It's okay to practice."
Jio Shimoda is going to let Kitahara Shuji experience the pitcher-fighter duel up close, and by the way, to boost his confidence, it is too cruel to be hit with a home run on his first pitch, and maybe he will say goodbye to the sport for life.
Kitahara Shuji was still very humble when he didn't understand, and he followed Jio Shimoda down the pitcher's hill, walked forward for five or six meters, and reached a place of eleven or twelve meters, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want to cast here?"
He felt that something was wrong, could this be too close, this was a child-level distance Jio Shimoda said "yes" with kindness, and then took a few steps back, and Noki Suzuki stood on the side of home plate and looked at it without any reaction, and Shuji Kitahara is a novice, she knows, the feeling of finding the first ball is understandable, what she likes is Shuji Kitahara's ability to control the ball, and even hit the snow in the high jump.
According to what she saw last time, if she replaced tennis with baseball, Kitahara Shuji's ball speed was also mid-to-high, and if she had very good ball control, there would be more balls, and it could also be a killer feature.
Strength, she can coax Kitahara Shuji to practice more in the future, that's no problem.
The people from the baseball club of the private Daifuku School Park also stood aside and watched, after all, Kitahara Shuji was really famous in school, but as soon as they saw Kitahara Shuji being brought to the pitcher's hill, they immediately knew that this was a pure novice, the kind that had never been played, it was really rare.
And when Kitahara Shuji was about to pitch, his posture surprised them even more.
Kitahara Shuji's body was stretched like a bow, his long arms were raised high, stretched to the maximum length, and it seemed that he was about to pull the baseball out The group was stunned, you pitch the ball like this, the ball has been in the eyes of the hitter, and the reaction to the other party is too long A few people couldn't help laughing, feeling that Kitahara Shuji might be a strong player in the kendo circle, but when it came to the baseball field, it was a pure low-level rookie.
They suddenly had a kind of consciousness of their predecessors, and they felt that they could educate Kitahara Shuji well in the future, and they could brag that they had been Kitahara's "teacher" in the future, and they were a little excited to think about it But after Kitahara Shuji's body slowly stretched to the maximum distance, he suddenly leaned forward and waved his hand, and his arm seemed to disappear in an instant, and the naked eye could not catch any traces, and the baseball was gone, and the hitter in the strike zone stood still and did not react, and Uchida Yuma screamed and fell directly on his back.
Baseball is a round leather ball that does not produce violent wind sounds, but everyone in the baseball club heard a crunch sound that was not made by the ball, but the sound of the mandible rubbing into their ears when they suddenly opened their mouths wide.
What kind of beginner is this?
What kind of airplane is Shimoda doing, how can such a person allow him to pitch under the pitcher's mound:
