Kiryama, you jerk!! What kind of pitch are you throwing!! Just now, the change-up was hitting the bat and slowing down. That’s why Souma’s half-speed pitch was clearly changing. This is what I’ve been talking about all along—just catching it is enough of a challenge!! The speed and weight are beyond imagination!!
Aren’t all the guys who play catcher just weird?
As expected.
This pose will ruin your waist and body as well.
Moreover, there is no rotation.
If I can’t do it, someone will take my place.
It’s hot in the armor.
As much as the pitcher throws, stand, sit, and return the ball.
A foul tip hits.
My left hand is swelling up.
Spicy.
>>3Continuously applying shock to the palm in work or sports makes it swell up, huh…
The annual salary of professionals is unusually low.
>>4Rather, it’s fairly well-regarded, so isn’t it getting more than expected based on the batting stats?
>>91The performance outside of batting statistics doesn’t seem worth it.
There are many demands, but whether they receive the spotlight is another question.
Isn’t it fun to toy with the batter at your own pace?
I can stay in the profession for a long time.
If it’s broadcasted, it will always be shown on camera.
Even a catcher who was fast during his rookie years accumulates damage in his lower body and dies.
Don’t blame the catcher for the fact that the thread image is perverted.
The goalkeeper is the same.
>>11It’s completely different!!!
>>12In baseball, the pitcher and catcher are almost always active, but others are not really the same.
In soccer, there are times when the goalkeeper doesn’t have to move while everyone else is moving.
It’s the opposite.
>>11The goalkeeper can become a hero who saves the day, but the credit goes to the pitcher…
In my mind, I am stuck with the image of Nomura and Furuta.
Is it that recent professional baseball catchers can’t hit at all?
Was it that the catchers back then were hitting like crazy?
>>14In the past, there were only a few people who were really going for it…
When I see a foul tip hit the groin, I think, I don’t want to do that~.
It’s really tough because there are extremely rare monsters that also excel at striking, so there are expectations for that as well.
>>16It’s not appreciated as much as expected.
>>16I have a vague impression that catchers seem like they can hit.
>>16If you’re a catcher, you can read the pitch selection and tendencies to know what kind of pitch is coming, right?
Just sitting in a squatting position for over two hours every day is tough.
I think it would be somewhat easier if I sat like Furuta.
When a catcher with good hitting comes along, they usually end up becoming an outfielder.
If a stolen base occurs, 90% of the time the catcher gets blamed, huh?
>>22The temperature difference between the battery and everything else in the quick is really significant, isn’t it?
It’s hard to be evaluated or rather, hard to stand out.
It’s not that there’s no charm in what can be done.
Which is more of a masochist, the keeper or the catcher?
>>26The goalkeeper usually has free time and is only blamed for conceding goals.
The catcher is required to be constantly active.
The catcher is overwhelmingly masochistic.
Even Tanihara said that in the latter half of the game, his hands were numb and he couldn’t focus on batting.
The catcher whispers to the batter to confuse them or confuses them with signs, right?
The goalkeeper is a position that requires a skilled player, right?
In youth baseball, what kind of person becomes the catcher? Is it a punishment game?
>>31First, it will be assigned to the biggest child.
>>31Seriously, if you’re thick next to me, you’ll just be made to try it out for now.
>>39Amateurs might think that this outfit looks tough for someone with a good physique.
>>110That’s actually true.
Forcing a mere fat person to squat continuously as a test is torture.
In high school baseball, catchers might not have time for batting practice because there are so many defensive requirements.
It’s a position where I’m always made to do defensive practice, but unlike pitchers, not being able to hit doesn’t make it acceptable…
It’s enjoyable when you can hit exactly as you aimed.
Everything else is crap.
Having a lot of tools, just one person becomes a weasel.
It looks painful to see someone sprinting from home for the first cover.
I heard in Captain Tsubasa that anyone who can be a goalkeeper can play in any position.
Since you’re big, you’ll be the catcher! I honestly think it’s too cruel to make you do that.
Is that how you’re deciding, like a tuba…?
I wonder why a weak-shouldered catcher became a catcher…?
Remembering signs and rules… remembering pitch distribution… practicing batting…
>>44It seems that there was a great pitcher who couldn’t remember complicated signs.
When we conceded a goal and I was in a daze, I let my guard down and got invaded at home, and I was told what the hell I was doing! There was a pro who got scolded harshly for that, but I feel like I could do something like that too.
What statistics reflect the excellence of a catcher?
>>46The pro has no choice but to either win or hit, seriously.
>>46There is a stolen base prevention rate, right?
You can tell just by looking at the lead.
But it seems like the goalkeeper looks bored for most of the time during the match, so isn’t that also painful in its own way?
The passage of time seems really slow.
I don’t have to endure hellish practice swings in the club, so it’s easier than other positions.
I feel like when pros watch, they get criticized even when pitchers are being hit hard.
>>50There are people who will endlessly criticize just because of vague reasons like “the lead is bad”…
I hate having to dash to cover first base during infield grounders.
This guy is a pervert in a different way…
It’s kind of cruel to not be evaluated because there are no evaluation criteria.
The stolen base caught stealing percentage is influenced by factors other than the catcher’s ability, you know…
Even though professionals have a very loose understanding of the rules, only the catcher in children’s baseball is expected to understand the rules.
I heard from someone who played college baseball that it’s apparently a pretty unpopular position.
If I get hit, I’ll be scolded by the coach, and even if I manage to stop it, the pitcher will only receive praise, making it hard to concentrate in the batter’s box.
In both professional and corporate leagues, positions don’t open up easily, so if the timing isn’t right, you have no choice but to retire.
>>56There are awards like the Best Battery Award, but there are many award-winning combinations that just have a strong pitcher, right?
I wonder if someone with a commanding personality would want to do that.
A certain pitcher (Curve? Is it really okay to throw a curve here??) twitch twitch
Catching is fun in youth baseball.
As a professional, you probably need to keep data and information in your mind, but…
You’re the catcher, right? At least control the pitcher’s slump!
The goalkeeper is also busy giving instructions, right!?
Is it not okay to use a low chair?
Let’s reform our work style.
I thought I was going to die practicing catching about 30 consecutive ball throws from a distance of around 5 meters.
The pitcher’s poor control is also the catcher’s fault.
The soccer playmaker is a midfielder, I saw it in a manga!
It seems bad for my legs and back, and although it’s plain, it has a heavy responsibility.
Yet, it’s the role where you have to use your head the most in defense, so it’s a thankless job, in my amateur opinion.
Unlike a goalkeeper, a catcher has to be proper; otherwise, the game won’t progress, so only those who can at least move are made to play.
Right now, having the goalkeeper as the playmaker might work quite well.
There are fewer teams that don’t connect from the goalkeeper.
It’s just right to indulge in wearing a mask occasionally, like Kimura Takuya during the Giants era.
It’s not something to be done professionally.
>>72I would hate to be forced to wear a mask in such an extreme situation, even if it meant dying…
>>96But because he fulfilled his duties perfectly, Kimutaku was incredibly cool at that time.
Do you see it as a thankless role?
Do you think it’s interesting that they throw according to the signs?
It varies from person to person.
After most of the people who appreciate me are gone.
Are you an artist?
Nowadays, it’s a common belief that catchers are actually at a disadvantage when it comes to batting.
Goalkeepers in modern soccer are quite busy, though.
>>79It’s like a coach who is in the field.
>>92Japan national team goalkeeper Ayaka Suzuki is evaluated for her attacking power.
Today’s goalkeepers don’t just defend the goal.
>>79Modern goalkeepers are now required to have not only saving skills but also footwork techniques.
After the match ends, I’m told to write down all the pitches from today and submit them.
It’s the only position where there’s no tension about when the ball will come flying, so that’s nice.
>>81I hear that being short is really tough both physically and mentally.
When it comes to catchers, they have big butts.
The winter goalkeeper is seriously tough.
When the team is strong, I really feel like I’m going to die.
>>83Which is tougher, running around for a whole match as a midfielder or this?
>>83To avoid catching a cold, I will run at full speed to warm up after the match, even with no time to spare.
I want to play wearing a dokajan jacket…!
I definitely don’t want to catch a hard ball for an entire game, even with a glove on.
Always imagining and rambling about professional matters.
I guess there are hardly any guys who actually played as catchers in youth baseball.
There aren’t any pitchers who can throw exactly what is required.
It’s tough, dull, and the responsibility is heavy, but I thought if the salary was good, it would be worth it, so why is the salary bad too?
In the junk sports show, Satozaki criticized that pitchers are spoiled and never scolded by the manager, calling them greenhouse kids.
>>89Satizaki thinks it’s just right to listen to half of what people say honestly.
>>99Isn’t that not a pro wrestling show?
Even in amateur baseball for working adults, there are no catchers.
You can also become a director.
>>94Becoming a playing manager?
Both catchers and goalkeepers are one person among more than ten, so it’s not something you see often.
I’m being told off by the lead in a crazy way.
The catcher should also form a rotation.
Is a catcher really necessary in the first place?
Wouldn’t it be good to just put a net to catch the ball?
>>101I can run as much as I want.
>>101If there’s no need to guard the bases, then it would be acceptable to just leave a bug-catching net at all the bases, wouldn’t it?
In youth baseball, the zone is quite loose, which is fine, but in professional baseball, it feels like I might go crazy.
It seems tough because as a self-intermediate manager between the pitcher and the coach, one also needs mental strength and negotiation skills.
There seem to be only negative opinions about catchers…
Is it not allowed to have chairs for the players?
>>107If you can smoothly step and catch a stolen base from a sitting position in a chair, then that’s good, right? Though it’s impossible.
Is the coach not angry with the pitcher?
Then I have to get the internet angry…!
When the batted ball that Chip hit in the at-bat against Fujikawa hit Yano’s face, I definitely thought he was dead.
There is an impression that professionals are less likely to be fired.
I don’t actually know.
>>111Yuu’s fairy
I think that being constantly in a sexual position is not good for education and should be improved with rules.
If it’s the infield, I can perform on par with the regulars at third base, and my batting ability is also superior.
They said they didn’t like being put in as a catcher because it wasn’t something they couldn’t do.
If the catcher doesn’t work out, I might end up in the outfield, like Wada-san.
It’s dangerous because the distance to the batter is too close.
I wonder if I can’t let go.
Running to the bass cover while standing up and sitting down.
It’s hard to have something to do every time I pitch.
I wonder if we can somehow abolish the position of catcher altogether.
Looking at this thread is like torture with this position.
>>122Haa.
>>122There are quite a few plays involving the catcher, so it’s impossible.
It may not stand out, but it is extremely important and hard work.
It’s a relief that they haven’t figured out that I bear half the responsibility for the pitcher’s performance.
>>123In some cases, one may be excessively held responsible…
Because a high level of skill is required, one must not be low-spec, as it also involves storytelling that whispers to the batter.
>>124Who are the current practitioners of whispering tactics?
I don’t think a big dick is suited for a catcher.
Is there no one who has experience as a “decachin catcher”?
If we’re going to abolish the catcher, we also have to abolish the batter; otherwise, the game won’t function as a game.
Even though my hand hurts, I’m still expected to have hitting power as long as I hold the bat… Isn’t it okay for the catcher to also be a designated hitter along with the pitcher?
Everyone doesn’t want to be a catcher, but nothing starts without a catcher.
It feels like there are many catchers in the player association’s positions.
Well, the players know how tough it is for the catcher, so there are aspects where they don’t complain.
My boss, who used to be a catcher when he was a student, seems to be in pain because of it.
The harsh position of being seen as a bucket person due to the image of being a wife role.
They say it’s a battery, but in terms of topics, it’s treated like someone who was catching so-and-so’s pitch.
It’s just strange that Abe and Tanihara were still active until their 40s…
The catcher in youth baseball draws the short straw.
Made to do it.
I wanted to be a pitcher.
Die, adults of the time.
>>138Pitchers are usually those with the best athletic ability, especially kids, so it would be impossible even if the person desires it.
The pitcher stands out more, requires talent, and it’s tough, right? Probably.
>>139It’s an easy game to the point where you can be valued even without achievements like Roki Sasaki.
Shouldn’t catchers be rotated just like pitchers?
>>140These days, there’s nothing where someone is always a starter on their own while being used in conjunction with others.
Baseball itself can be crap, and that’s okay.
Because it’s minor.
It’s not about the league, but the global popularity.
There are hardly any main characters in manga other than Dorakamen.
>>143I can only think of Dokaben as a baseball manga where the catcher is the main character, but there aren’t many baseball mangas where the catcher is portrayed as an idiot.
In most manga, they have a sharp character position.
>>152Rookies
>>152Well, if the catcher is a character like Iwaki, it’s obvious that the game wouldn’t work, as anyone who knows baseball would understand…
>>143Major 2
People often talk about the lower back, but the burden on the shoulders and elbows is also significant.
It’s the position that throws the ball second in the game.
It’s possible to allow only catchers to wear powered suits that do not put a strain on their knees.
I don’t know where the catcher is throwing the ball after getting a strikeout…
It’s true that being a catcher is certainly harsh.
The pervert in the thread has the perfect position to see his childhood friend from the front, utilizing his natural intelligence…
To prove that you can throw 160 kilometers, one pitch is enough, but proving that you can maintain 160 kilometers is impossible no matter how many pitches you receive.
I feel like catchers have a higher rate of good-looking players than pitchers.
It’s not uncommon to hear stories about the evolution of bats and balls.
How does armor evolution work?
It should probably be evaluated by both the pitcher and the batter, but it inevitably turns into “the pitcher is amazing.”
I didn’t know catchers have lower salaries… That’s sad, isn’t it?
>>156In exchange, if you demonstrate wall performance, it will last quite a long time.
You can stay in the position even with batting results that would get you cut in other positions.
I think it’s okay to let you use something like a light seat.
There are countless tools that couldn’t be used in the past but can be used now, and they seem likely to be used in the future.
Wasn’t there a recent trend for soft protectors?
If you’re fat or big, you’ll be made to be the catcher…
It’s like the thread image, but it’s strange that they’re not protecting their groin.
Even though I’m in an open posture
>>161…I had a flash of inspiration.
Let’s make the girls’ baseball uniform a bikini.
>>166That’s why it hurts!
>>172A bikini girl in pain is the best, isn’t it?
>>166Is it torture?
>>166I wish they would do it in major2.
>>161There is a proper foul cup as protective gear.
There is a place to put it in the sliding pants.
>>161I’m wearing a foul cup.
It’s just that the shock is escaping from my thigh, so it still hurts.
>>161No, there’s definitely a foul cup.
Anyway, it’s amazing to be fixed in this pose, isn’t it?
I might kneel down and things like that, but…
Baseball manga often features the catcher’s butt as a subject for sketches.
I played catcher all the way through elementary, middle, and high school, but in my third year of high school, I injured my back and couldn’t play baseball in college…
In the past, there was a dedicated catcher, but since it is heavy labor, recently there have been more multiple catchers.
There are veteran catchers who aren’t performing well but are mood-makers in the second team, right?
>>171It seems that making the pitcher feel good is also part of the catcher’s job, so I guess that’s something the skilled players excel at.
Well, in this day and age, if you think something is unjustly low, you can easily go somewhere else.
In the recent manga “Gurazeni,” there was a topic about two catchers who can consistently catch knuckleballs.
I get a lot of ball-shaped bruises all over my body.
>>178It’s proof of a baseball superhuman.
>>182The catcher is going to die!
>>178Can I join the Astro baseball team?
>>178You’re not good at catching, huh?
Wanting to hit a girl in the groin with a ball is the worst…
Furuta or someone was angry about recent comments on the low batting abilities of catchers.
It’s one thing for 1 to 3 times, but from around 7 or 8 times, my palms start swelling and I’m losing grip strength, so don’t expect me to keep taking hits at that point.
>>186Even a normal batter gets into the groove after getting used to the later innings, so there’s no way a catcher batting lower in the order can hit with numb hands.
>>186I wonder why players like Furuta, Abe, and Jojima were able to hit so well…
It’s fine if the hitting is just a bonus, but if you experience a catcher who can hit decently, the expectations will inevitably rise.
Seeing a baseball player in real life is impressive due to their physique, but you realize that even with all that training, it’s a harsh sport where they can easily get injured.
Due to works like those of Mitsuru Adachi and Major, the image of the 4th batter as a home run king is a strong association with the position.
It’s crazy that even block technology was required, although it’s not needed now.
The salaries of position players are mostly determined by their batting performance, but for catchers, as long as their defense is good, they are valued even if their batting is just average, so there is a balance.
Catchers need to have explosive power, so those who are just big in size are not suitable; it’s fine if they are slow on their feet.
I think it would be fine to increase the benches.
It’s better to strike out than not be able to hit in any position.
Isn’t it still better to be able to hit?
Is there a chance for girls if they just have the strength in their shoulders?
>>199Because girls need to put in effort, they probably won’t get any chances…
In the past, there weren’t any pitchers who could throw 150 strikeouts.
Players like former Yakult’s Furuta, who was skilled defensively and at the plate, are like gods.
The shoulder is important, but the throwing motion after the grip is more important.
There are some people who can hit, but the ones who can run are really few, that’s the image I have.
>>206Staying crouched the whole time, huh…
>>206There are guys who could run in the past, but they won’t be able to run after a year.
Just being a capable catcher can provide an advantage against the opposing team.
I think it’s also because the pitcher in the thread is too cute.
>>208Hirose’s response
Return to the campfire.
