...
After the strike training.
It's fielding practice.
Because Asad is a pitcher.
So the practice is to make up for first/second/third base, and deal with rolling ground near pitcher's mound.
Since the energy is limited.
Also to maximize the effect of the exercise.
Kataoka Tetsushin separated the training content.
For example, practice making up first base today, practice second base tomorrow...
As for what is a backup first base?
It is when the first baseman leaves the base bag at first base in order to pick up the ball.
The pitcher immediately runs to first base and then receives the ball from the first baseman to first base.
The specific process is as follows:
The assistant coach stands at home plate, throws the ball up and hits it near first base.
Asas standing on the pitcher's hill.
When the assistant coach throws the ball, quickly run to first base.
As for the first baseman.
and concentrate on the ball from the assistant coach.
Wait until you catch/pick it up, and immediately pass to first base.
Asad needs to run to first base and catch the ball from the first baseman.
...
While!
A crisp bang!
The assistant coach hit the ball between first and second base!
Tread!
First basemen quickly chase baseball!
And Asad, with his [world-class experience], was thrown by the assistant coach in baseball at the first time.
At the speed of [world-class sprinting], like a cheetah, he rushed to first base.
Shout!
The first baseman catches the baseball that bounces off the ground and then neatly passes to first base.
Boom!
Asad who arrived in advance.
Easily catch the ball with baseball gloves.
"Beautiful!"
The first baseman praised.
"Thank you."
Asad smiled slightly.
Subsequently.
Place the ball in the frame on the side.
And quickly walked to the pitcher's mound, lined up behind Tanba and Kawakami.
That's right.
Tanba and Kawakami.
Training to make up first base is also performed.
As for the Furuya, Satoru ?
He was assigned to the B course by Kataoka to participate in physical training with other new students.
In fact.
Asad even entered the First Army.
In fact, it is necessary to continue physical training like Furuya, Satoru.
After all.
Nascent physical strength.
It's really not as good as a senior who has trained for a year/two more years.
Merely.
Kataoka was curious about Asad's performance in terms of strikes and fielding.
So.
Specially asked Asad to come to Course A first.
Strike training and fielding training were completed.
Then go to the B court and participate in physical training.
Anyway, in the first semester of new students, the main training item is physical fitness.
So.
Whether you go early or late, you don't have to worry about missing out on physical training.
...
In the blink of an eye.
Forty minutes passed.
At this time, Asad had already completed today's fielding training.
Thereupon.
He put gloves and bats in the lounge area.
And then.
Go to Course B and participate in physical training with other new students.
...
Evening.
Half past six.
This concludes the practice time for the baseball club.
But.
Asad after dinner.
I went back to the training ground and continued my physical training.
No way.
In order to be able to show his physical strength smoothly in the future, he still has to continue to make appearances.
Of course.
Say it's a show.
But these trainings can also improve physical strength a little bit.
Although this physical strength was only a drop in the bucket compared to all of Asad's physical strength.
But mosquito meat!
It's meat too!
And!
Isn't that how much physical strength has increased?
.....
After entering the First Army.
Asad's life has ushered in some changes.
That is, entering the A court every day to participate in strike training and garrison training.
But.
After completing these two trainings.
After that, the content is no different from before.
But Asad was not in a hurry.
.....
Saturday.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
All members of the Blue Road.
I took the school bus and came to the second stadium of Jingu.
Purpose:
Participated in the first round of the Kanto Congress.
Opponent:
Kanagawa's baseball famous Yokohama Minatohoku Academy.
At this time.
The audience seats at the Jingu Stadium were crowded, and at a glance, there were not many empty seats.
Visible!
The attraction of baseball games to people is very adequate!
And in the case of many people.
When new students get on the court, they naturally feel nervous.
Meantime.
This kind of competition occasion.
It is also the most able to hone a person.
"Just do what you do."
Head coach Kataoka explained to Asad.
This game.
He made Asad the starting pitcher.
It can be said that he has high hopes for Asad.
"Hmm."
Asad chuckled and nodded.
If it was him in a past life.
There is a high probability that you will panic because of this scene.
But after getting [world-class experience from ohtani].
There weren't many occasions left to make him nervous.
"It's on!"
Captain Tetsuya Yuki greeted.
Everyone followed and rushed to the stadium.
"Hey!"
"That one is called Asad, but it's a first grade!"
"Isn't it? Such a crucial game, actually let the first-year player go to the pitcher mound? "
"Seido... Is this to give up the game? "
When the audience saw that the pitcher of seido was a first-year freshman, they were stunned.
"That's awesome!"
"Asad is really on the field!"
"And he's still a starter!"
In the audience seat behind the green road, Kominato Haruichi said in amazement.
"!!"
Sawamura was also quite surprised.
As a freshman, he is still only a member of the Second Army.
And Asad....
Already on the stage of the Kanto Congress!
"It seems that we have been completely underestimated!"
"I actually let a first-grade imp who has just joined the team play!"
"We're going to let that rookie know that high school baseball isn't that good!"
The coach of Yokohama Minato North Academy said with an unhappy face.
"Yes!"
The team members answered in unison.
"That guy is too skinny, isn't he?"
"The physique is not practiced at all!"
"You seido is really hard every year!"
Yokohama's first batter, said to Miyuki Kazuya with a smile.
"Haha..."
"Your subordinates show mercy!"
Miyukiichi also replied meaningfully.
"The pitcher hill of the official game..."
"The gaze of thousands of spectators..."
Asad looked around and looked at the crowded audience outside the venue, and his heart was quite excited.
From past lives to the present.
It was also the first time he had appeared on such a big stage.
"From now on..."
"My name will be deeply imprinted in your minds!"
The corners of Asad's mouth turned up slightly.
Hold the ball in both hands and raise it above your head.
Non-axial feet, also raised high at this moment.
Followed by.
Lift the non-axial foot and step forward from slow to fast.
Boom!
The soles of your feet hit the ground!
Step on the ground!
Body twist!
All the power will be concentrated on the right arm!
Then!
