[外電] What makes Latos a statistical standou
http://tinyurl.com/7gejwpn
The Reds paid a significant price to add a young starting pitcher to their
rotation with the acquisition of Mat Latos from the San Diego Padres.
紅人支付了很大一包從教士換來了年輕的先發投手Latos。
What are they getting for a package that included top prospects Yonder Alonso
and Yasmani Grandal?
支付了Alonso跟Grandal得到了什麼？
Reds GM Walt Jocketty described Latos as an elite pitcher, one capable of
being a No. 1 starter.
Jocketty說Latos是一個很好的投手，大概有1號先發的水準。
Why would he say that? Let’s take a closer look:
Latos went 9-14 last season, but his ERA was a very respectable 3.47. The 14
defeats tied the second-most losses by a pitcher whose ERA was 3.50 or lower
last season (free agent Hiroki Kuroda led the majors with 16), and was the
most losses by a Padres pitcher among players who had an ERA of 3.50 or lower
since Bob Shirley, who went 8-16 with a 3.38 ERA in 1979.
Latos去年有個9-14的球季，但是他的ERA是3.47。這14敗在去年所有ERA低於3.50是
第二多的（成為FA的黑田有著獨步聯盟的16敗），而且也是教士從1979年來ERA低於
3.50的投手裡面最多敗場的投手。
Latos’ strikeouts, walks and home runs allowed were indicative of a pitcher
who may have pitched better than his numbers indicated. Latos had a 3.16 FIP
(Fielding Independent Pitching), a stat scaled similar to ERA, based on those
three factors.
Latos的三振、保送和被全壘打數都顯示他還能投的更好。Latos的FIP是3.16。
That was tied for 11th-best among the 75 National League pitchers who pitched
at least 100 innings last season.
這是在投滿100局裡的75個國聯投手中第11好的數字。
Latos put up very similar numbers home and away in 2011. His FIP was 3.06 at
home and 3.26 on the road, and he actually allowed more home runs per nine
innings in spacious PETCO Park than he did in road appearances. His career
FIP split is 3.25 at home, 3.30 on the road and his 1.15 WHIP is the same in
both areas as well.
Latos在2011年主場跟客場的表現很像。他的FIP在主場是3.06，在客場是3.26，而且
他在教室主場被幹砲反而比較多。他的生涯FIP在主場是3.25，在客場是3.30，而且
WHIP都是1.15。
Latos was a much improved pitcher in the second half of the season, a time in
which he changed his approach slightly.
Latos在下半季進步很多。
Mat Latos vs RHB (2011)
Before Break After Break
Opp BA .243 .160
IP 94 100
HR Allowed 7 2
Curve Pct 17% 11%
Slider Pct 21% 29%
Latos increased the use of his slider and reduced the use of his curveball,
particularly against right-handed hitters, coaxing hitters to chase pitches
on the outside part of the plate and out of the strike zone.
Latos增加滑球的使用量並減少使用曲球，特別是針對右打者，引誘打者去追打壞球。
Just over half of his outs with the slider against right-handers were located
away prior to the All-Star Break. Nearly 80 percent of them were afterwards.
超過一半的出局數都是使用滑球對付右打者。
Latos increased his outs-to-hits ratio with that pitch to right-handed
hitters from 6-to-1 prior to the break to better than 10-to-1 after it.
Latos的out-to-hits比(這不確定怎麼翻)從6-1上升到10-1
That led to an 83-point batting average drop overall for right-handed hitters
against him and an overall drop in ERA from 4.04 to 2.87 from before the
break to afterwards.
這導致面對右打者的被打擊率下降了0.083，而且ERA從4.04降到2.87。
By season’s end, Latos’ .123 batting average allowed on the pitch and his
miss percentage of 49 percent against all hitters both ranked second-best
among the 90 starting pitchers that threw at least 300 sliders, thus making
him a desired target of teams this offseason.
隨著球季進入尾聲，Latos的被打擊率只有0.123而且揮空率有49%在90個至少使用300個
滑球的先發投手中都排第二。
