To be honest, this topic is a bit general. It looks like asking about the training methods and selection mechanism of Japanese baseball players. Generally speaking, these people asked me to add another digression. How hard is it to be Shunda? Suppose you are a parent and your child has just been born. You named your child "Daye" because you watched "Baseball Hero" since childhood and hoped that your child would go to Japan to become a professional baseball player. As a relatively high-risk and high-yield industry, professional baseball players still need to be viewed from a statistical point of view. Children should have cups to prevent pits? I wonder how many people's baseball dreams began with this young man. First of all, if the goal is to eventually enter the professional world, this number is fixed. According to the regulations of Japan Professional Baseball League, each team can select 10 players at most every year through the conscription system, at least not limited to this. In other words, a total of 12 teams choose 120 players every year. However, in fact, few teams will use the quota as high as 10. After all, there is still one person to pay. On average, there are more teams and fewer teams. Generally speaking, all professional teams have a total of 70 players a year. Koshien has not only tomorrow's stars, but also dark horses. The biggest record holder in Japanese professional baseball history was selected in the seventh draft. Nomura, the most legendary catcher of Japanese professional baseball after World War II, entered the professional baseball market through the back door with 0 yuan's annual salary. On the other hand, the number of foreign aid in Japanese professional baseball fields is limited (it is really unlikely that domestic trained players will directly enter Japanese professional baseball fields as "foreign aid", so don't worry at this stage). If you want to increase the possibility of your child being selected, you'd better give him a Japanese nationality. However, if you are an international baseball student since childhood, nationality will not be a big problem. China player Wang Zhenzhi insisted on not changing his nationality after retiring. Let's take a look at the amateur league. By 20 15, the number of registered members of baseball clubs in high schools in Japan will be close to170,000 (excluding baseball hobbies like H2, which can nominally represent schools). Of the 6.5438+0.7 million people, about 56,000 graduated. They are all candidates for the first draft. In addition, there are many students whose mentality is "if you don't become a professional player, you will choose to go first" to get a college diploma. If the dream of work is shattered, they can also eat something. Therefore, the draft also includes college students. Japanese universities have 26,000 registered baseball associations and about 6,500 fresh graduates. Former Osaka ace pitcher Igawa applied for an accountant's license before joining the professional baseball team. That is to say, generally speaking, in recent years, the number of fresh graduates participating in the professional baseball draft every year may be 65,000 divided by 70, or 928 1. Let's take an integer, which is one percent. What do you mean by nine percent? Of course, every few years, there will be a genius who makes the media marvel at "once in ten years". However, there are many successful players in baseball. Nevertheless, most of the above 9. 1% people have worked hard for three years, but in the end they have become ordinary people from all walks of life, living as pure as fish and not yet entering the professional baton. There are not many people left. Take Ichiro Suzuki as an example. Writing an article in elementary school, he said, "I want to be a baseball player." He also has a baseball father, and he knows how difficult this road is. So how much training did Suzuki receive? Ichiro Suzuki's primary school composition "My Dream" said, "My dream is to become a first-class professional baseball player." The teacher commented, "What a great dream, Suzuki added." According to his own opinion, in the third grade of primary school, the average three children practice twice as much every day as on weekends in a year. In this way, I have no time to play with my children. However, many of his teammates said that in fact, the team didn't ask everyone to practice so hard, only Suzuki. The final probability is only about 1.5%.
