Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 033 Niu Dafa
"Chris was actually solved?"
"what happened?"
"The ball just now was hit too high. After the baseball flew up, it landed in the shortstop's defensive position."
"The shortstop did have some credit, but the most important credit goes to the pitcher. He was able to get Chris to hit a high fly ball!"
“It’s really amazing!”
"He hit a home run before, and now he has successfully eliminated Chris. This guy's talent is like he came out of the second dimension."
Almost instantly, Zhang Han on the pitcher's mound became the focus of everyone's attention.
Not only the old alumni and contestants who were watching, but even Ota and Takashima Rei, had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They felt the same way, it was incredible.
When specially recruiting Zhang Han, the coaching staff of Qingdao High School baseball team conducted a detailed investigation based on Zhang Han's characteristics.
According to the results of the investigation, Zhang Han 's talent in batting in the future is terrifying. He is likely to become one of the most promising and powerful hitters in the entire island country.
What he excels at is anticipating the pitcher’s movements.
This talent is amazing!
The most crucial thing is that this talent is largely innate, and it can be improved to a certain extent through acquired training, but the extent of the improvement is very limited. If you want to reach Zhang Han's level, you can only rely on your natural talent, and it has nothing to do with training.
Being able to predict the general direction of the baseball, all he needs to do next is hone his strength and skills...
Then Zhang Han’s striking power will naturally improve.
"A great candidate for the future top four!"
This is what Takashima Rei reported to Kataoka before inviting Zhang Han.
As for Zhang Han's main job, that is, how good is he as a pitcher? Takashima Rei also gave a very objective evaluation, saying that Zhang Han has a certain talent and strength as a pitcher.
If you practice hard, you will have a bright future.
This evaluation is not an exaggeration at all.
A person who has only been learning baseball for three or four years can become one of the main pitchers in a place like Matsukata Little League.
This is very telling.
Coach Ono Binzhi of Matsukata Little League is not a fool. If Zhang Han did not have that kind of ability, why would he promote Zhang Han?
So he must be talented on the pitcher's mound.
But this talent is completely different from his striking power.
Let's put it this way, the Qingdao High School baseball team has been unlucky in recent years, and none of the ace pitchers they recruited are ideal. Although they are all quite competitive, compared with the top pitchers in the Tokyo area, they are more or less lacking something.
Such a pitcher must have had a very brilliant record in high school.
Their talents in certain areas are also amazing.
For example, there is Tamba who is in the second grade, and Kawakami and Kawashima who are in the first grade.
Before recruiting them to the Qingdao High School baseball team, Takashima Rei and the Qingdao High School senior team coaching staff also conducted a detailed study on them. The final conclusion was that these players have certain talents and if they are well trained, they will be able to play in the future.
Put Zhang Han's evaluation report as a pitcher together with those of these players.
There's nothing particularly outstanding.
Zhang Han’s previous feeling was not wrong. The coaching staff of Qingdao High School baseball team did not treat him as a pitcher from the beginning, nor did they give him the treatment a pitcher should have.
This time he showed such superb pitching that the coaching staff couldn't help but pay attention.
After Chris was dealt with, the next person to come on the field was a short, burly fat man.
Zhang Han's impression of this fat senior was quite limited. He could only recall a few words after trying hard.
This senior has a good appetite.
The cafeteria exclusively for the Qingdao High School baseball team has these words written on it.
You must eat more than three bowls of rice!
The Qingdao High School baseball team has a strict rule about this. Players must eat more than three bowls of rice when eating. Only in this way can you withstand the hard training that follows.
Almost all freshmen would not feel good when faced with this rule.
Zhang Han is no exception. After joining the team, he suffered a great loss in this regard.
This second-year senior named Zengzi was particularly impressive at that time.
While others were struggling to get three bowls of rice, he had quietly finished six or seven bowls of rice.
If we were to choose the best slacker in the Seidou High School baseball team, this senior would definitely deserve the title.
As for this senior, what impressed you most about him in baseball?
Zhang Han really couldn't imagine it.
However, judging from his body shape, we can make a general judgment about the technical characteristics of this senior.
Such seniors are usually very strong, but their striking skills are average.
“Whoosh!”
Zhang Han directly passed the ball to the inside corner.
The angles are so tricky, it's as if the lines had been drawn in advance.
Masuko, who was standing in the batter's box, was unable to react. Given his position, he was almost powerless against this kind of ball.
"nice shot!"
After the first goal, Zengzi subconsciously took a half step back.
Zhang Han shot the ball to the outside corner without stopping.
"nice shot!"
“Ping!”
“Out!!!”
Chris witnessed the entire process of Zengzi being eliminated.
When I saw this, I shook my head slightly.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as he remembered. Zhang Han's overall pitching quality was average, but his ball control was very stable.
Can accurately put the ball into the corners.
Moreover, this guy seems to have special abilities. He can always find the opponent's weaknesses and attack them.
Matsukata Little League has had smooth sailing in the past two years, reaching national competitions consecutively and achieving good rankings.
Zhang Han’s existence has made an indelible contribution.
This guy's overall pitching, although not that talented, but he's very smart when he throws it.
He is very good at judging the dishes served to the guests.
Just like now.
“Ping!”
The bat hit the white ball hard, and the white ball bounced high.
Ryosuke Kominato, who stepped into the batter's box after Masuko, had a slightly stiff smile on his face.
He was careless!
Unexpectedly, the flying baseball floated slightly.
So he wanted to hit a straight ball, so he swung at the straight ball.
Unexpectedly, he hit the bottom of the flying baseball, causing it to fly high and be caught directly by Ono.
“Out…”
"Three outs, offense and defense switch."
All the newcomers who saw this scene almost went crazy.
At this point in the game, they no longer had any confidence.
But now it seems that it is a little too early for them to give up.
…
