8 That's why it's in the spotlight

Miyuki in the crowd also showed an extremely exciting look. As a close friend of Narumiya Mei, Miyuki is very aware of the pitching statistics of Narumiya Mei in Middle School. Last year, Narumiya Mei The farthest pitching distance is close to 360ft (110 m). More than half a year has passed, and when it comes to high school Narumiya Mei, the longest distance is probably close to that of Shigeno Shin.

Moreover, according to the distance of the pitch, and the feeling that Shigeno Shin had just pitched, the speed of this ball is not slow.

"Fastball speed 99 mp/H (159 kmp/H)."

"HOLY SHIT!!!"

"How can he pitch a 159 kmp/H in the first year??"

"Should it be said that it is one of the Kanto Twin Stars"

"He is a pitcher who led the team to the junior national championship."

"I really can't compare to this guy."

Sure enough, in the next second, the speed tester reported the speed of the ball that He had just pitched. For a pitcher, the speed of the ball cannot represent everything, but the speed of the ball is one of the most essential judgment data for a pitcher. A pitcher who shoots super fast and has straight balls will have a certain innate advantage compared with other pitchers of the same type.

Such a high-speed ball is not only a visual feast but also difficult for the batter. Got used to it in the first round.

Coach Kataoka, who was watching the freshman test not far away, also flashed a faint light in his eyes at this time. To pitch a fastball with a speed of 159 kmp/H at this age, as long as he trains more, by the 3rd year of high school, it may be possible to make the ball speed close to or even surpass 160 km/H.

Moreover, according to the data from the previous survey.

Shigeno Shin's fastball is naturally heavy, and he is the kind of pitcher with terrible power and tail.

This made Shigeno Shin's fastball extremely powerful.

"159 kmp/H hm...Same as the Major's protagonist Goro?"

He stepped off the plate and muttered this sentence silently in his heart.

the distance of the pitch just now is already the limit of his pitching distance.

"Next, Kaneda."

After all, the shock brought by Shigeno Shin was temporary, for his ideals, his position, and the holy place in his dreams - Koshien.

None of these high school students is willing to admit defeat at the starting line.

They will only work harder and more diligently after realizing the gap, because those who do not work hard and are not diligent have long been abandoned, or have given up.

From infield to outfield.

Compare the complexity of the pitcher test.

The tests for other positions are relatively straightforward.

Of course, it's not just the ability test in each position. For the freshmen who have entered the team, Seidou High School also specially arranged the physical fitness test for the players. Want to know more about the comprehensive data of this batch of freshmen? that the coaching staff, especially Coach Kataocan decide how to arrange this batch of freshmen next, and if we can screen out the diamonds from the stones?

Whether it's a pitch test.

Or a physical fitness test.

Shigeno Shin is undoubtedly the most outstanding existence among the freshmen.

Among the other freshmen pitchers of the same batch, there was simply no existence that could compare with him.

In other positions, there are also a few people who have flashed performances.

Miyuki naturally doesn't need to talk about it.

'Special enrollment' is a key invitation of Takashima Rei.

In the entry test, among the catchers of the crowd, he is also in a thriving existence, with excellent catching ability and stability.

Let the other students in the same class be completely overshadowed.

For the "cheetah" Kuramochi Yoichi, in the baserunning test, the time reached an astonishing 4.1 seconds. You must know that Kuramochi Yoichi is only in his 1st-year, so he should exercise for a while in high school. Time, at least, to increase the maximum speed to less than 4 seconds, is appropriate, such a running speed is blinding most people's eyes, and it also makes those assistants who test it all brilliant in the eyes. A ray of light came, this is a natural 1st batter, if he can show some talent in his batting ability, with such a speed, it is appropriate to go on base.

Or practice a lot of bunts.

It is also entirely possible to use bunts to ensure his hit rate. There are also players in some Japanese professional teams. Players who use super bunts to go on base, or push into grounds and continue their offensive intensity.

Systematic and complex entry testing.

It lasted all morning before it finally ended.

The intelligence data of all the players was consolidated, organized into a document, and handed over to Coach Kataoka. In the office, Coach Kataoka looked at the information of the new students in his hands. Coach Kataoka nodded slightly, showing a rare smile.

Coach Office.

assistant coach Takashima Rei and team advisor Oota Kazuyoshi stood by and waited for Coach Kataoka's instructions.

"This is all the new students' materials this year. What are the arrangements next?"

assistant coach Takashima Rei looked at Coach Kataoka and asked softly.

"The Spring Tournament is coming soon. The focus will be on the first string. All freshmen will do basic endurance training, and lay the foundation first."

Coach Kataoka didn't show much expression, put down the datasheet in his hands, and shook his head.

"Yes, I understand."

"It's already April..."

Coach Kataoka put his hands upside-down behind his back and looked at the dusk scenery outside the window with deep eyes. The figure of his teacher could not help but appear in his mind, and there was a glittering luster in his eyes, and he whispered such a sentence.

this sentence.

It also caused assistant coach Takashima Rei and team advisor Oota Kazuyoshi to be startled.

April has arrived.

Is July still far away?

Both of them seemed to understand the subtext of Coach Kataoka's words.

It has been five years, and Seidou High School has not set foot in that sacred place for five years, representing the most powerful stage.

This year is the most promising year for Seidou High School.

This time.

this summer!

For the national competition.

Coach Kataoka, no, it should say that Seidou High School is bound to win!!!
