Chapter 71: Zhang Han's Choice
"I have no idea!"
Zhang Han answered honestly.
But he quickly raised his head and stared at Superintendent Kataoka seriously and said.
"But I hope I can try it. I don't think my right-hand pitch is really worse than my left-hand pitch."
"I said that as long as you are willing, we will not persuade you. You are already the ace of our team. After the Kanto Competition is over, I will announce it directly."
Superintendent Kataoka continued to lower his head, wondering what he was looking at?
Zhang Han turned around and prepared to leave, but he stopped again after walking for less than two steps.
He doesn't want this perfunctory result.
"Supervisor! You should tell me everything you want to tell me, and then we will discuss it."
Zhang Han had already guessed that Supervisor Kataoka had not finished saying it. He didn't want it, he wanted to put everything on the table and explain it clearly.
Only after he explains everything clearly can he not delay his training.
Otherwise, if the coaches of the supervisor and the coaching team had this attitude, even if Zhang Han practiced shooting with his right hand, he would not feel comfortable.
And there is another very important point.
That is to arrange training time.
He can't become the team's trump card, and the training events and rhythms are the same as before, right?
The so-called one, two, no more.
By the time Zhang Han raised this question for the third time, Superintendent Kataoka did not intend to avoid it anymore.
"The pitching of your two hands is indeed the strongest in our team and you can finish the game. Letting you be the ace of the team is not a polite word, but you win by your own strength. Your performance in the new game has also surprised the coaches of our coaching staff. So much so that when we consider your future direction, we have serious differences. More than half of the coaches believe that you should develop your pitching with both hands at the same time and then become the ace of the team. From the perspective of popularity, the topic of pitching with both hands is definitely very high. In addition, your ability to strike will definitely make your popularity higher. This will be very beneficial to you before the draft."
"Thank you for the supervision!"
Unexpectedly, for his own business, the coaches of Kataoka Supervisor and the coaches of the coaches did so much work in private.
To say that you are not moved is a lie.
Zhang Han was indeed very moved, and his thanks were sincere.
"But I don't think so. First of all, the combination of your two-hand pitching is the strongest, and this is not wrong. But for the team, the help is not that great. Compared to the sharpness of your left-hand pitching, I still don't like the potential of your right-hand pitching. To be precise, it's not that it's not that optimistic, but for you, it's too useless."
Abandoned ribs!
It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away.
Zhang Han never expected that Kataoka would have such an evaluation of his right-hand pitching?
"It's not that your right hand pitching is not good. In fact, the power is still very good. Continuing to shoot should be able to soar the ball speed to more than 150 kilometers. In addition, you can learn a lot of changes. Even if your straight ball has weaker characteristics, you should be able to become a very good pitcher. After entering the professional baseball, you can get a salary of tens of millions, and if you are lucky, you can even over 100 million. But do you really need this? You should know that if you concentrate on being a fielder, you may become a top player. You can get a salary of hundreds of millions or even tens of billions a year. Although the salary does not completely represent the value of a person. But we cannot deny that in today's era, the value of a player is reflected by salary."
"Your left-hand pitching should have the hope of soaring the ball speed to 160 kilometers or even higher. Even if you don't become a pitcher after entering the professional baseball team, such ball speed can add icing on the cake. Your right-hand pitching may not even be a slightest way in your future life. So for yourself, it is actually meaningless to continue to hone your right-hand pitching. And being too talented may not be a good thing. If a person is too proficient, his attention will not be able to focus on one or two events. There is no way to continue to make rapid progress in one field. The baseball world is a pyramid structure. All the players who really reach the top are masters who have been honed to master at their own position. Wasting time on unnecessary things, do you really have the confidence to challenge them?"
Superintendent Kataoka stared at Zhang Han seriously, waiting for Zhang Han to answer him.
"Do you only consider myself, not the team?"
Zhang Han asked.
"I said, I'm not optimistic about your right-hand pitching. Although I'm shining in the new high-end game, to be honest, facing a truly strong team, the combat effectiveness may not be that strong. With the strength of our team, the possibility of falling off the weak team is very small. Our main competitors are all wealthy families in various regions. In the process of competing with them, your right-hand pitching is easy to be thoroughly studied. Although the combat effectiveness is still not small, I'm afraid that no points will be lost in every game. Other pitchers in our team can do this. What we really need is your left-hand pitching. At this stage, only your left-hand pitching can perfectly suppress other pitchers."
This is quite clear.
Zhang Han can really do the other pitchers, but his left hand shot is still his pitch.
As for his right hand, although he has considerable combat power, he is far from reaching the level of his left hand.
"Practice as a shortstop, outfielder, and left pitcher at the same time. Your practice volume is more than twice that of ordinary people, so that you can ensure that you keep up with the progress of those players practicing at one position. In this case, do you really need to add right-hand pitching? I absolutely cannot let you practice that way. If you continue practicing like this, you will sooner or later be useless."
"If you insist on shooting left and right, then I'll consider removing a position of practice for you in the outfielder or shortstop."
Superintendent Kataoka said.
"You can choose, which one should we give up?"
At this time, Zhang Han really wanted to say something, and only the child made a choice. As an adult who was about to be sixteen, he wanted everything.
This is Zhang Han’s most real idea.
But reason told Zhang Han that he could not do that.
No one can do everything perfectly at the same time. After all, a person's energy and physical strength are limited.
Even Zhang Han could not do it.
"I cannot accept the position of the ace for the time being. I don't want to stop the practice of shortstops and outfielders. I don't want to stop the practice of right-hand pitching, I will practice in private. Please give me three months, I want to learn how to change the ball as much as possible. If three months later, my pitching with my right hand will still make you and the coaches in the coaching staff think that there is no way to help me, or there is no way to help the team. Then I will give up the pitching with right-handed!"
Zhang Han stared at Kataoka seriously and said persistently.
In three months, he would give his right hand an explanation at the end.
Even if it really doesn't work then, he has achieved a clear conscience.
Kataoka looked at Zhang Han in front of him. He really liked Zhang Han's personality.
I will not just follow the order because this sentence was said by the team supervisor, and I will not just follow the order because this sentence is completely on his position.
He has his own ideas and his own persistence.
This is also a must-have quality for a successful baseball player.
Practice hard and physical talent are of course important.
There are so many such players nationwide, and it is estimated that there are no 1,000 or 800 each year.
But how many players can finally reach the top of the pyramid? There are only a few dozen or even a dozen people.
Zhang Han obviously has this kind of qualities.
He is a player who thinks and acts with his brain.
"I promise you!"
After taking a deep look at Zhang Han, Superintendent Kataoka nodded in agreement with Zhang Han's proposal.
"But you will have to work hard in the past few months. I will remind you to restrain yourself when you go to practice more, don't force yourself, don't be like ruthless..."
Chapter completed!
