My newest favorite subject, Chien Ming Wang, ran his record to a league-best
6-0 last night. He gave us a bit of a scare when he had a cramp in his hand,
but at the time, we weren't sure just how serious it was. Turns out it was
just that, a simple cramp. Good news.
我最近最愛的研究主題,王建民,昨晚剛把他的紀錄推進到聯盟最佳的6-0。
當他說他手抽筋的時候,嚇了我們一跳,當時沒人能確定狀況是怎樣。
幸好後來知道那不嚴重,算是個好消息。
So how'd he do? 那麼,他做得怎樣?
Pretty darn good, again. His line: 6 IP, 90 pitches, 3 hits, 1 ER, 5 K's, 2
BB.
他再次好極了:6局90球3安1失分5三振2保送。
Let's continue the examination: 那就繼續來研究吧:
Ground ball/Fly ball 滾飛比
Wang's GB:FB rate continues the slide from the 3's to now under 2.0 (1.92,
per ESPN). The chart to the right captures the ratio with the blue line. What
to make of this? Well, clearly Wang's evolution from primarily a sinkerballer
is in full bloom. Again, if he was just losing his ability to control the
sinker, leaving everything up, would be a concern. But that's not the case.
王的滾飛比從3以上繼續下滑中,目前已經降到2以下。(請參閱原網址的圖表)
他怎麼做到的?很顯然,王已經漸漸從單純的伸卡類型,變得更加全面。
再說一次,人們常以為,如果其他條件不變,只要他控制不好伸卡,就會是個問題。
實際狀況顯非如此。
The proof is the fact that he's only surrendered one HR this year. He's
notoriously stingy with giving up the long ball, giving up just 9 last year
and 12 the year before. (Bronson Arroyo does that every few weeks.)
證據就是今年到目前,他只被打出一支全壘打。
他被打全壘打的次數簡直少到會氣死敵人,去年才九支,前年也才12支。
(辛辛那提的布朗森只要幾個星期就會被夯這麼多。)
K-Rate 三振率
Note, using the orange bars, the spike in K-rates for Wang this year. He's
now at 6.40 K/9 IP. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not insignificant. This is
not an aberration. This is a pitcher who has won 19 games each of the last
two years, his first FULL two years in the league, getting better. This is
the evidence of a person who is driven to be better, every day. When I first
started following Wang this way, he was at 5.06 K/9. Now, after his 9 K
performance last week and last night, he's bumped to 6.40. Very impressive.
[Caveat: yes, it's still a small sample size but we've got enough to chew on.]
王的K9目前上升到6.40。各位,這絕對非同小可。這種數據說明了,這位連續兩季
奪19勝的投手,正在每天都變得更好!從我開始追蹤研究王的數據,他的K9不過5.06
,但經過上週和昨晚的表現,跳到了6.40。令人印象深刻的數字。
(我當然知道現在樣本還算少,不過也夠我們聊一聊了。)
Pitches per inning 每局用球數
Wang got thru the end of the first inning on just 9 pitches and needed 90
pitches to get thru six innings. That's 15 pitches/inning for those without a
handy calculator, which is right in line with the 14.6 P/IP he's averaged all
year. It's still a bit higher than in the past but that's going to happen
with the higher K rates.
王昨晚第一局只用9球,投完六局用了90球。不用計算機也知道這是每局15球,
和他的年平均14.6差不多。這比過去高了一些,不過在三振率提高的狀況下,
這種事就是會發生。
Repetoire 球種
I mentioned in earlier postings that the reason for all this is his new
additions to his repetoire. Seems that the MSM (that's blogger-speak for
'main stream media') is catching on, too:
之前我提過,王目前的表現都和他球種的增加有關。看起來,
主流媒體似乎也注意到了:
In the past, Wang relied heavily on his sinker most nights.
This year, he's shown a more varied repertoire.
過去,王大量依靠他的伸卡,而今年,他展現出更多的球種。
"We don't even talk. That's probably the good thing about it.
I don't know if he likes me, anywhere," joked [Jose] Molina,
who sported a Wang T-shirt. "Now you have to look for the slider,
maybe change, maybe split, and still have the sinker there."
穿著建民T的莫林那:「我們之間話不多,這也是件好事。至少我不會
發現他或許很討厭我。現在面對他,你必須注意滑球,變速球,指叉球,
當然,還有可怕的伸卡。」
Wang's a better pitcher this year. He won 19 games last year after winning 0
until May 5th last year. Think about that for a second. He missed the first
few weeks due to injury and didn't win until the second month of the season,
yet still won 19. He's got 6 wins on May 2nd this year. Where's he going to
end up?
種種數據說明了,王今年是個更好的投手。去年五月2日他0勝,但季末卻19勝。
仔細想一下,去年他因傷錯過了季初的前幾週,直到球季進入第二個月才奪首勝,
但仍然贏了19場。而今年5月2日他已經六勝了,那麼球季結束時,
他的紀錄會是啥?
No matter what the number is, he's a better pitcher and still getting better.
Scary thought. And the Yanks certainly need him to keep it going given the
struggles of their young guns and all the injuries.
不管今年最後的結果是啥,他都是比以前更好的投手,並且還在進步中。
想起來很嚇人吧!不過洋基絕對需要他這麼持續下去。
I'll be watching. 我會繼續盯著他的。
