Seidou High School

Shigeno Shin has only one goal.

That is when he joined Seidou High School, aiming to win Koshien for 3 years to create a miracle, and then become an MLB pro player after graduation. for him, after spending the little league period in physical development and foundation stage, he went to Junior High School. At that time, choosing to play hardball was the only option.

From soft baseball to hard baseball.

It is a process of adaptation. In the manga, Sawamura played softball before joining Seidou High School, so he didn't know the basic knowledge at all. It needed the guidance of Chris-Senpai. The same for Furuya, which also led to the two being rookie pitchers in the early stage, in terms of strength or baseball knowledge, in the middle and late stages, the accumulation of this knowledge reached a necessary limit then the strength of the two was ushered in an explosive growth period.

From the beginning, He had a clear goal.

he will not go to high school to adapt to hardball. It's necessary to start playing hardball in Junior High School for him to adapt to high school baseball in advance. The perfect visual acuity and the excellent ball feeling make him quickly emerge and became one of the baseball genius in the Kanto region.

Relying on the super fast and heavy gyro fastball, as if he is shooting with a .500 Magnum.

batters who can hit his gyro fastball head-on can count on 1 hand

In the second grade of Junior High School.

Become the ace pitcher of the team.

Led the team that year, defeated many strong teams, won the National Hard Baseball League, and formally entered the eyes of major high schools, some college scouts (basically The deputy of the high school baseball department, or the director) came to contact him, hoping to get Shigeno Shin to join their school.

The invitation of the prestigious high school in Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokohama Kouhoku Institute high school, was the most enthusiastic.

Shigeno was originally from Kanagawa.

In the eyes of Yokohama Kouhoku Institute high school.

For players like Shigeno Shin, the goal must be the Koshien and become a professional player. Then, choosing them is a certainty. As one of the most famous high schools in the country, Yokohama Kouhoku Institute high school does have its aspect.

Proud.

Unfortunately, a long time ago.

The school that He wants to choose is already a set matter.

West Tokyo - Seidou High School.

This is the choice that He will never waver.

Therefore, just after the last Junior High School summer competition ended, He decisively accepted the invitation and joined the Baseball Club of Seidou High School. This is something that others schools, especially Yokohama Kouhoku Institute high school, never expected to happen. Putting the difference in the geographical location aside.

Seidou High School has not entered the nationals for five years.

Even if it is still known as the three famous in West Tokyo, everyone can see that ever since Coach Sakaki Eijirō left, the young Coach Kataoka took over as the head coach. The record of Seidou High School has been unsatisfactory year after year. This spring It even received a mere talented player.

in the summer competition was eliminated in the quarterfinals by the Ichidaisan High School.

in the fall competition of the same year. Was eliminated by the Koukai University Sugata High School.

Seidou High School, a former famous school, has already begun to decline.

under these circumstances.

He did not choose the prestigious school in his hometown-Yokohama Kouhoku Institute High School, nor did he choose any other school in Kanto. In recent years, that has steadily entered the national competition and stepped on the Koshien. It was a bit broken. The genius has chosen Seidou High School.

Of course, in addition to Shigeno Shin, there is another catcher who has made those schools in Kanto stumbled and he also chooses to join Seidou High School. This catcher has also received many invitation letters.

It is this year, this season.

Seidou High School can only use 2 special enrollment quotas to recruit prospects to Seidou High School.

Right now, at this moment.

That is, Shigeno Shin has set foot at Seidou High School.

"Seidou High School? Finally, I came here..."

He looked at the gate of Seidou High School in front of him, and his face was with an expression of excitement that could not be restrained.

"It's earlier than the agreed time, Shigeno-Kun."

When He was looking at Seidou High School enthusiastically.

A tall figure appeared in his vision.

"Takashima-san, good evening."

The moment when he saw the incoming person, He bowed slightly and said softly.

The person here is not someone else. It is Takashima Rei, the current assistant coach of the Baseball Department of Seidou High School, who is also in charge of scouts at Seidou High School.

Every year, Seidou High School recruits talented players from all over the country (the focus is on the Kanto region) and persuades them to join Seidou High School. It has been difficult to do this job for the past three or four years. It is entirely because of Seidou High School's experience in the past few years. The results are not good. No matter whether it is the summer or fall competition, can't win the regional championship, not to mention the qualification to participate in the national competition (in addition to the regional victory in Tokyo, there are also places for the Meiji Jingu and Kanto Tournaments)

It was also last year that Shigeno Shin was invited to join Seidou High School.

Takashima Rei just invites with the mentality of giving it a try.

Not only Shigeno Shin but also a catcher was invited by Takashima Rei. Last year, at that moment Takashima Rei was sad.

Shigeno Shin said nothing.

That catcher too.

When the catcher was in the first grade, Takashima Rei contacted him. At that time, Takashima Rei was optimistic about the catcher (actually, Takashima Rei did not know that they were in the first year.)

The latter catcher also became a dazzling existence during the Junior High School period.

In the third grade, they became the object of invitations from famous high schools. Not to mention the Kanto area. Several other big schools in the Tokyo area, Inashiro Industrial, Ishidaisan High School, and Teitou High School have all sent out invitations, Takashima Rei didn't hold any hope.

She was prepared psychologically for both of them to reject her.

However, happiness sometimes comes so suddenly.

Both of them agreed to Takashima Rei at the same time, agreeing to join Seidou High School.

That day, when She got the answers from two people.

Takashima Rei jumped up happily at home.

The results of Seidou High School in the past two years are really bad. Every time is eliminated in the semi-finals or quarter-finals, rarely entered in the finals.

do not to mention winning.

With the addition of Shigeno Shin, Takashima Rei believes that her baseball team will gradually regain its former glory, especially with the current catcher of the baseball team.

Takashima Rei has reason to believe that he has experienced tempering last year.

In the 2nd-year, he can become the pillar of the team and lead the team to the top.

"It was originally arranged that I would go to Kanagawa to pick you up. Unexpectedly, before leaving, you said that you wanted to come by yourself.

Takashima Rei pushed her glasses up, showing an intellectual smile, and said with a chuckle.
