Chapter 16: Evaluation of Sawamura

"Tell me!"

Supervisor Kataoka, obviously very interested in this topic, motioned Miyuki to continue.

Chris looked thoughtful next to him.

Miyauchi Keisuke couldn't believe it.

Can Kenshi Kawakami also compete for the trump card?

Even if you are joking and talking nonsense, you have to have a limit.

Miyauchi Keisuke did not deny Kawakami's strength. On the contrary, because he took Kawakami's ball, he recognized Kawakami's strength very much, and even thought that if Kawakami was in a normal team, he could also be the ace.

But it is a pity that Qingdao High School is not an ordinary team, he is a national giant!

If the team really lacks pitchers, it is not impossible for Kawakami to reluctantly be in the ace position.

There are no generals in Shu, so is Liao Hua a pioneer?

But Qing Dao's current situation is not that there are no ace pitchers. On the contrary, Qing Dao High School is now two people fighting for the ace.

Tanba Koichiro and Sawamura Eijun.

Either way, these two are more suitable for the ace than Kawakami.

Especially Sawamura!

Sawamura lacks all the characteristics of Kawakami, and is even better than Kawakami.

Under such circumstances, what do you want Kawakami to use to compete for the trump card?

"The previous Kanto Conference, I think everyone has a deep understanding. The ace pitcher does not necessarily have to pitch sharply. Accurate ball control and flexible ball changes are already very powerful weapons in themselves. Combined with the team His defensive power can also control the loss of points within a certain range. I think that even if Kawakami is the ace, there is nothing wrong. He is stronger than the opponents we encountered in the Kanto Conference. The pitcher is that he It's still a side shooter. Take advantage of this, and I believe he can also play a very strong fighting force."

Miyauchi Keisuke looked at Miyuki in surprise.

I don't understand why Miyuki insists on arguing? According to him,

Any pitcher with characteristics can be the ace?

But at the end of the day, don't you still need to compare?

In contrast, among the three pitchers, Kawakami has only a disadvantage and no advantage, right?

Seeing the confused palace, Chris sighed secretly.

Although Miyauchi itself already has very good strength, his hitting is also excellent, his ability to catch the ball and restrain his ability to act as a catcher is nothing to say.

But in the competition with Miyuki Kazuya, Miyauchi Keisuke has always been at a disadvantage, which is not without reason.

He is so stupid!

As a player in the same class, Chris didn't want to judge his teammates so harshly. But to be honest, the palace is really stupid.

He didn't even know what the examiner was going to test, so he answered the questions here.

Of the three pitchers on the team, who is more suited to be the ace? Does Director Kataoka need to consult their opinions?

The answer is, of course, no, and who knows better than Kataoka, these three pitchers on the team.

He looks forward to the stars and the moon all day long. How many years has he been looking forward to to get such a good team?

For the choice of trump card, will he have no idea in his heart?

So this is not a pitcher's question at all.

Although Kataoka asked all pitcher questions, he really wanted to ask catchers.

When your partner is Tamba, Kawakami or Sawamura, how do you give them the ball?

Originally, Miyauchi's answer was in the middle of the norm, so it wouldn't be a plus point, but it wouldn't be a minus point either.

But his current expression completely sold out all the thoughts in his heart.

The original mid-range answer may have also become a deduction.

Simply speaking of the main battle between the palace and Miyuki, he is almost out.

Miyuki was originally the main catcher in the team, and only if Miyuki performed better than Miyuki would he be able to get the main position.

Now, not to mention that he performed better than Miyuki, he also took the initiative to reduce points...

Kataoka didn't say anything. After listening to Miyuki, he nodded and continued to ask.

"Where's Sawamura?"

Hearing this question, Miyuki and Chris were still shocked even though they had expected Kataoka to ask.

They know that the real assessment begins.

Despite the ownership of No. 1, there is still debate among the coaching staff. But Sawamura's ace position has been determined.

At the Kanto Conference, Sawamura used his performance to win this position for himself.

In the first army, whether it is a third-year player, a second-year player, or even two first-year players.

It is recognized that Sawamura will become an ace.

Even Jiang Guxiao might not be convinced verbally. He must also know in his heart that with the gap between him and Sawamura now, it is impossible for him to replace Sawamura as the trump card.

After all, pitchers don't just look at pitches.

Even if Akatsuki Furutani is confident in his pitching, he won't be so over his head that he thinks he will perform better than Sawamura on the mound.

It has nothing to do with character.

It’s like taking an exam. Every time someone takes a hundred exams, you fail the exam every time. Even if you think that your IQ is not lower than that of the other party, you have to admit that the other party's academic performance is definitely better than yours.

Asking about Sawamura's evaluation is the key to this assessment.

Chris was the first to speak.

"Very good! I think now Sawamura can be the ace in our team."

This is the conclusion.

This conclusion was obviously approved by Kataoka, and he nodded for Chris to continue.

"The fastest speed of the ball is 138 kilometers, and the ball control can divide the strike zone into four flat equal parts. In the four equal parts, it can also be divided into high and low, inside and outside. With good ball power and unique pitching posture. Let Sawamura The straight ball is very sharp! I think the straight ball should be the main one, and the change ball should be supplemented. I believe he can improve to the next level. And not only pitching, his hitting is also very good. He is very adaptable to the new hitting style, now For him, it's just a matter of focusing on building strength."

After Chris finished speaking, Kataoka nodded expressionlessly, and then set his eyes on Miyuki.

Miyuki smiled wryly.

Chris has said all he has to say, what more can he say?

For Sawamura, it is ideal to focus on straight balls.

His straight ball itself is a very sharp weapon, and the most important thing is that the straight ball is stable.

Don't underestimate this word. On the mound, steady is sometimes more useful than sharp.

"Sawamura's character and experience are also very good weapons. Not everyone has the experience of winning the national championship. I believe that with Sawamura's experience, it will definitely bring different changes to our team."

Chris and Miyuki, one of them talked about their skills and the other about their experience.

In a word, in the current Qingdo High School, the most suitable ace is Sawamura Eijun!

"what you think?"

After listening to the analysis of the two, Kataoka did not speak, and turned to look at the palace. )!!
