http://t.co/yBNQj2WObN (影片) 大聯盟正式核准新的護具，不過... Brandon McCarthy told ESPN.com that even though he was seriously injured when he was hit in the head by a line drive 16 months ago, he won't wear the new gear himself. McCarthy, who tested the protective cap while throwing off a mound, playing catch and running, said Tuesday: "I won't wear it in its current form." 「雖然我16個月前被球打倒在地，我也不會戴這個護具。」發起人Brandon McCarthy 表示：「我不會使用目前的款式。」 -- McCarthy認為雖然目前有這方面的技術但是並非「major league-ready」產品；主要問題有： - Too Big (據IsoBlox的資料，前面加厚半吋、兩側大約太陽穴的位置加厚一吋) 「投手會很在意這頂帽子。」 - Too Hot (多出七盎司；目前的帽子3~4盎司) 「就算我在很涼快、很棒的環境下進行測試，頭還是會很癢。」「絕對沒辦法在聖路易或巴爾的摩的日場比賽中戴上一整天。」 - 不伏貼─「一動就會注意到。」 McCarthy表示這些問題不修正的話沒有人會戴，不過他同時表示他感謝投入心力的研究者並稱這個帽子是往正確方向邁進的一步。「希望幾年內會有戴起來沒有感覺的帽子。」 ※ 引述《tanaka0826 (田中鬪莉王)》之銘言： : Brandon McCarthy: MLB pitchers could wear protective headgear as early as : next season : http://t.co/VuV0HINbJU : Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon McCarthy joined "The Buzz" podcast : Wednesday and said there's a chance that MLB pitchers could have the option : of wearing special protective headgear as early as the 2014 season. : He said the headgear would look like a hat but would be able to protect a : pitcher from serious injury. : "They're coming," McCarthy said of the headgear. "From everything I know : they'll be available this year. I don't believe they're going to be : mandatory. Actually, I'm almost certain they won't be mandatory. : "I did get a chance to sit down with the head MLB doctor last year during : spring training, who's overseeing the whole thing, and it has been a high : priority for them. It's just that there has been very few answers. We both : agreed on it not being mandatory at the time, there's just no need to do : that. But whatever gets proposed has to be correct or we're not really doing : too much." : When reached for comment on this possibility, an MLB spokesperson said, "One : product that has passed the testing standards should be available to players : for next season. We are still evaluating a number of other potential : products. Our conversations with the MLBPA are ongoing. We expect this : issue to continue to evolve, but we believe this is an important first step." : McCarthy, as you might remember, suffered a serious injury when took a line : drive off the side of his head during a game in 2012 when he was with the : A's. He said the new headgear that he's working on with a company would have : prevented that injury. : "It should be strong enough and capable enough that literally if I got hit by : the same exact ball, I would have been able to keep pitching in that game," : McCarthy said. : The only problem with the headgear? How it looks. : "It looks ridiculous and we get so used to the way things look," said : McCarthy, who recently took a picture of himself with the headgear on and : sent it to other pitchers in the league. "You mentioned the new football : helmets and batting helmets, everything looks silly until it doesn't look : silly anymore. -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.62.36.168
