Chapter 1188 - 1188 One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-One He Ran Away

1188: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-One: He Ran Away 1188: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Seventy-One: He Ran Away Frey was facing away from Gao Yang, and Gao Yang took the chance to make several gestures to Roger Ruth.

As if awakening from a dream, Roger Ruth noticed Gao Yang’s gestures and immediately waved eagerly, indicating for Frey to throw a few more pitches.

Seeing the expression on Roger Ruth’s face, like someone who got startled by a ghost in broad daylight, Gao Yang knew this thing had potential.

Feeling extremely confident, Gao Yang couldn’t stop smiling, and he shouted to Frey, “Throw a few more, sliders, curveballs, give them all a go.”

“No problem!

Watch closely, this is called a slider!”

Frey swiftly pitched the ball, and the batter, after a token swing, looked at Frey with confusion, wanting to speak, but just then, Frey picked up another ball, prompting the batter to get ready once again.

“Throw a curveball, yeah, and strikeout!”

The batter shook his head and then called out loudly to Frey with a laugh, “Hey, brother, are you a pro?

Which team are you with?

Sorry, I don’t think I’ve seen you play.

Are you a rookie this year?”

Frey laughed and waved his hand, saying loudly, “No, no, it’s just a hobby.”

Gao Yang turned to look at Roger Ruth, only to find Roger Ruth had already moved close behind him, his lips quivering as he stared intently at Frey.

Gao Yang, pleased with himself, patted Frey on the shoulder and shouted, “Throw a few more, this time with your left hand.”

Frey snapped his fingers and said with a smile, “Boss, you are really in high spirits today, alright, switching to left hand.

Ella, watch closely, here comes my left-handed pitch.”

Frey threw a curveball with his left hand, and Gao Yang instinctively turned to look at Roger Ruth again, only to see Roger Ruth covering his mouth with both hands, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

Frey picked up another ball, blew on it, then turned to Gao Yang and said, “Boss, what do you want to see this time?”

While talking, Frey noticed the shocked look on Roger Ruth’s face.

After casting a curious glance at Roger, Frey shouted, “What do you want to see?”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Throw a fastball with your left hand, oh no, pitch the most difficult one you’ve got.”

Frey nodded and replied with a smile, “Alright, the most difficult one…

for me, that would be throwing a change-up with my left hand.

Okay, I’ll throw a change-up with my left hand.”

Frey stepped onto the pitcher’s mound, this time with a rare look of seriousness on his face.

Although the pitches thrown before were just for fun, even now, he was still playing, but he intended to be a bit more serious.

With his left hand, Frey powerfully threw a ball.

Gao Yang couldn’t discern any change or quality, to him, it just seemed like an ordinary pitch from Frey.

“Knuckleball!

Butterfly ball, butterfly ball!”

After Frey threw the ball, Gao Yang heard an incredulous shout come from behind him, and then turning his head, he saw Roger covering his mouth with one hand and his heart with the other.

Gao Yang patted Frey on the shoulder and asked quietly, “Knuckleball, what does that mean?”

Frey shrugged and explained, “It’s a no-spin ball, kind of difficult to master.

The ball practically doesn’t spin when thrown, and its flight path is unpredictable, just like a butterfly’s flight cannot be predicted.

It’s a type of knuckleball, uh, that’s about it.”

Roger Ruth, covering his heart, approached Gao Yang and Frey, and then with an enthusiastic face said, “Join the Yankees!

Mr.

Gao, please ensure your friend must join the Yankees.

We will definitely use our draft pick on him this year.

The signing bonus is negotiable, I don’t need approval, I assure you I can offer you the highest signing bonus, and the main roster spot is negotiable too, I can promise that right now.

Mr.

Gao, sorry, I am too excited…”

As soon as Roger Ruth spoke, Gao Yang knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, Frey looked at Gao Yang in astonishment and then shouted, “He’s a scout?

Did you guys set this up?”

Gao Yang put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, “Listen, this gentleman is…, you hold on right there!”

Frey didn’t wait for Gao Yang to finish; after giving Gao Yang an angry look, he turned and walked out.

After exiting the enclosed ballpark, he grabbed Ella’s hand and started to run swiftly, then simply broke into a sprint.

“F**k!

Bastard!

Stop right there!”

Gao Yang couldn’t care about Roger Ruth anymore, and in Yelena’s astonished gaze, he started chasing after Frey who had already begun to run.

After running a few steps and feeling that he couldn’t catch up with Frey, Gao Yang stopped, turned towards Yelena, and shouted, “Come with me, Mr.

Ruth, I will contact you.”

Roger Ruth, with a face full of shock, knowing that he had caused trouble, shouted loudly, “Mr.

Gao, Mr.

Gao!

Wait, how do I contact you?

Oh, sh*t!”

Watching Gao Yang and Yelena quickly running away, Roger Ruth covered his head with his hand, grinding his teeth and said, “F**k, what the hell did I do, what in the world is going on!”

Roger started running with gritted teeth but after aimlessly running a few steps, he stopped again, standing there clueless, looking around, realizing he had no idea where to go, he immediately took out his cell phone.

After dialing the number, Roger stood there stamping his feet anxiously and finally, when the call went through, he immediately started speaking in a very low but extremely hurried voice, “Manager, this is Roger, yes, yes, listen to me, I’ve seen the guy you asked me to watch, oh, no no no, my voice isn’t angry, I’m just frantic, listen to me, Mr.

Manager, that guy is a genius, a real genius.”

“A real genius?”

Roger spoke anxiously: “Yes!

This guy is ten thousand times better than anyone I’ve ever seen, I’ve never seen anyone like him in my career, f**k it, let my career go to hell, this guy is a once in a century talent, he’s going to be the Strikeout King, if only we can get him to join, we can start a new dynasty again.

Oh, damn it, I don’t even know his name, for heaven’s sake, tell me what’s his name!”

“I don’t know, I really don’t know, all I know is the boss asked me to scout someone, um, just a friendly scout who would then be directly turned away, I only know someone with the surname Gao is handling this matter, Roger, are you sure you’re not exaggerating at all?”

Roger Ruth, on the verge of tears, said, “Yes, I swear to God on my professional integrity, I haven’t exaggerated a bit, a guy who can throw a fastball with his right hand, the speed exceeding one hundred and five miles, and he can also throw curveballs, sliders, anything, and then listen to me, he can throw just as well with his left hand, he just threw a butterfly ball in front of me with his left hand, and the guy is not even left-handed, I don’t know what to say, if what I saw today wasn’t God himself, then God has sent a dynasty founder to me, believe me, he will become the Strikeout King, the nightmare of all batters.”

“Really found a treasure?

It can’t be, right?

Such a talent, he would need such a way to look for a tryout opportunity?

If he just showed his face, just by crooking his finger, there would be countless teams rushing up waving checks in front of him.”

Roger Ruth roared, “I’m just f**king out of my mind with excitement, f**k!

F**k!

Can’t let him slip away, can’t let other teams snatch him, at all costs, even if we have to trade half of the team for him, no, the entire team for him would be worth it!”

“That’s something we can’t decide, um, alright, I trust your judgment, Roger, you’re an ace in this business, you almost never miss, I trust you, alright Roger, give him the best terms, promise him the position of starting pitcher, talk to him now.”

Roger Ruth said helplessly, “It’s no use, it’s no use, he ran away, that guy figured out I was a scout, and he took off running.”

“He ran away?

What do you mean?

We are the New York Yankees!

You are a scout for the New York Yankees!

I say, buddy, what’s going on here?”

Roger Ruth said with a nearly crying voice, “I wish I knew what was happening, the guy just took off, I didn’t even have time to ask his name, Manager, hurry and find him, ask our Boss, go find that guy, we can’t lose him, absolutely not.”

“Did you record it?”

Roger Ruth sighed and said, “The only right choice I made today was to record his pitching with my phone.”

“Send it over right now!”

Roger Ruth hung up the phone, glanced in the direction where Frey and Gao Yang had disappeared, shook his head helplessly, and then quickly started running, recalling that it had been a very, very long time since he had run like this.

Before long, in a building under the ownership of the New York Yankees team, in a room with a sign saying ‘General Manager’s Office’, a total of five people watched a short clip playing on a computer.

After watching the clip, a middle-aged man around forty years old, fiercely slapped the desk in front of him, then turned around, and with a pained expression pointed at the computer screen and said, “Where the hell did this guy pop out from?

Did he fall from the sky?

Or did he burrow out of the ground?

Roger?

Why did he run?

Did you scare him?

You must have been like a madman, didn’t say what you should have, did you?”

Roger Ruth said loudly, “I admit I was too excited at the time, I should have been calmer, but look at yourself, aren’t you the same?

Also, I told you, I said everything that needed to be said, completely and clearly!”

Just then, the head coach who had been dragged in to watch the clip raised his hand calmly.

He was quite unhappy when he was called in, but now, his face was serene.

The moment the New York Yankees head coach opened his mouth, his attitude was apparent, he just seemed calm.

With a bang, hitting the desk harder than the general manager, the head coach then lifted his hand and pointed at the computer screen, and calmly said, “I want him!

I must have him!

At all costs, sign him to the New York Yankees, get him for me, this year’s championship will be ours, and after that, you’ll see a new dynasty emerge.” (To be continued.
