Ultimate Cash System-Chapter 82: Team Practice. (2/2)

" This season was one of our worst seasons ever, so let’s make it better by defeating the Cubs (Chicago Cubs) so that we won’t come out last in the National League standings. Lukas is a pitcher and maybe a batter too? We don’t know that, I have seen him pitch. I can say that next year we are winning trophies. Now then, ladies, introduce yourselves to this young man. Terry gave a long lecture and then asked everyone to introduce themselves.

Everyone, although reluctant, introduced themselves, Lukas just politely nodded his head at each one of them as he was the youngest now.

" My name is Jimmy, and I am a batter who likes to bat."

" Mike Lieberthal , I am the catcher."

Lukas only remembered these two for now because these two felt important enough, and the rest of them felt mid.

"Alright ladies, Lukas is a super talented person, so we are going to test with him. Jimmy go bat and Mike with guide Lukas as he has played seven seasons and has more experience than Lukas," Terry said with a clap, then pointed at the vanity trucks parked outside. which Lukas has his personal one and even saw two more personal vanities when he got there.

Lukas wore his new jersey features the team’s classic red, white, and blue colors, with the word "Phillies" and the team logo on the front.

His number 7 jersey looked good on him, and then he wore the trousers, he also wore the guard’s to save his balls and got out. There was no make-up artist here like last time.

As he was leaving, he picked the sponsored Wilson A2000 Pro Stock 1786, which felt perfect, and he felt comfortable. He didn’t have to buy a ball this time because the field was full of pro balls.

As soon as he entered the field, Terry gave him a cap, which has the Phillies logo on it, and he wore it instantly as the sun was heavy today.

Wearing his cap, he jumped two times, and he was surprised to feel the height he could go up, he could almost reach 2 meters high just by normally jumping.

Damn!

Lukas was not only surprised, the MLB doctors who came with equipment to attach to Lukas while he played were surprised as well. The jump was the proof of his athleticism.

" Lukas, let them attach these things to you, they will monitor your heart rate, and if you use anything suspicious on your arm to throw this fast, Terry came, said that, and then gave Lukas the ball to throw.

The attachments were, although a little uncomfortable, but Lukas felt he could do a pretty decent job.

Lukas taking the ball went to the mound, the team was surrounding the field, and there were extra players, maybe from the 40-player pool, to help out.

Jimmy, who was the main batter of the Phillies, was standing in the batter’s box, there was no catcher on the field yet, so Lukas also waited for him.

After a few minutes, Lukas saw Mike running, wearing his catcher’s kit, he came directly to Lukas. Lukas was very confused why this man came to him.

" Hey, I am Mike, your best friend in the field, so tell me what kind of throws you can do and their maximum speed. I will gesture the type I think will make Batter nervous and maybe out, hehe." Mike smiled behind his thick helmet and looked friendly.

" I can do four seam and knuckleball, I don’t know about speed, though. Four seam can go as fast as 125 MPH, and knuckleball, I don’t know, maybe 85 MPH maximum," Lukas said casually. Mike, on the other hand, hearing the numbers, was looking at Lukas with a frown on his face.

" Oh! Hehe, you’re joking," Mike said, then he laughed loudly.

" He is not joking, go see for yourself." Terry came in when he saw Mike coming toward Lukas. He knows what will happen, and he doesn’t want his players to argue. They lost this season so terribly that arguing and inner fighting are the last things they needed.

Mike, nodding his head, went behind the batter’s back, Jimmy cracked his neck and positioned himself, the MLB doctors were watching Lukas’s every movement with their equipment.

Lukas also readied himself, he first hid his right hand inside his gloves as the Pitching coach taught him then he wanted to throw a four seam and today he was warmed up and confident.

" Play ball," the umpires signal to play the ball.

Lukas looked at Jimmy, who nodded his head in response. Lukas’s feet instantly went up in the air, this was his perfect pose, and his hand gripped the ball in a perfect four-seam hold. Then he threw the ball as fast as he could.

Lukas’s right arm went back like a leather whip, and like a zap came fromnt and he threw the ball from his grip.

*Zwoop*

118 MPH

"Strike"

Lukas felt he didn’t do well with that pitch, but the whole stadium was as shocked as it could be, Jimmy could not believe he did not see the ball coming toward his way.

" The fuck?" Jimmy looked at Lukas, who was just casually standing there like he did nothing at all, and his expression was saying as if he could do better.

Mike, who barely caught the ball, felt his bone could be crushed by the sheer force that ball came in with.

"Wait." Mike threw the ball to Lukas, gestured for him to wait, and ran to his vanity truck.

Terry, who was standing with the MLB doctors, smiled because the doctors were as shocked as they could be, not because of the throw but how Lukas’s physical structure works, they had never seen something like this.

The two doctors looked at each other with shocked expressions, at that time, Mike came back wearing huge, bulky gloves from his vanity truck.

Lukas was just chilling in the sun, people were staring at him, and he was getting used to it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
