[分享] Walker Buehler今天面對NC恐龍一軍

[zxc906383 (無無)]

The 31-year-old right-hander got pulled in the first inning before returning to
retire five consecutive batters and finish (the better part of) three innings ag
ainst the NC Dinos of the Korean Baseball Organization.

“The first inning was a little rough,” Buehler said. “A bunch of singles, but
 throwing strikes. I think the velocity was a little bit above where we thought
it would be. Overall, a lot of good, a lot of bad, lots of stuff to figure out.
… Only so much you’re gonna get out of it today. But all in all, a good day.”

Working on a back field at the Peoria Sports Complex, Buehler reached 92 mph wit
h his fastball and hit 91 on the 47th of his 48 pitches.

The two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion has had two Tommy John
surgeries. He no longer hurls his fastball in the upper 90s, and in the two seas
ons since returning from his 2022 surgery has not been able to locate that pitch
 (and others) the way he did when compiling a 2.90 ERA (sixth best among qualify
ing starters) from 2017 through ‘21.

The Padres, who signed Buehler to a minor-league deal earlier this month, do bel
ieve they can get him higher than his 94 mph average from last season while post
ing a 4.93 ERA over 126 innings for the Red Sox and Phillies.

“I think pitching on the backfields is different than pitching (against major l
eaguers in a stadium),” Buehler said. “Adrenaline is not quite what it probabl
y will be here in the next one. But for (the velocity) to kind of casually be in
 there, I think, is really nice and reassuring. Every year, my elbow seems to ki
nd of start feeling a little bit better. And this year is no different. I got in
 a lot better shape than typical offseasons, and I’m feeling good about it.”

The first inning, which he departed after allowing two runs on four singles, cou
ld conceivably have lasted just three pitches on a different day or with major l
eague fielders behind him.

The outing began with a single dribbled to the left side, a single grounded unde
r a diving first baseman and a sacrifice fly to left field. Buehler had thrown t
hree pitches to that point.

He was at 23 pitches when minor leaguer Clay Edmonson came in and got the final
out in the top of the first.

Buehler then worked an 11-pitch second inning and got the first two outs of the
third before another single was dribbled to the left side. He ended his day by g
etting a groundout to the right side.

While the competition he faced Saturday is by and large considered to be about D
ouble-A level, what he did in mixing in a lot of sliders and curveballs was exac
tly what the Padres figure he will have to do if he is pitching successfully for
 them in 2026 — finesse outs any way he can.

“It’s the job,” Buehler said. “I would love to get back to throwing really h
ard and trying to punch everyone. … I just want to help the team and be success
ful and get back to some of the expectations I used to have.”

Morejón’s quick work

Adrian Morejón followed Buehler to the mound and overmatched the Dinos in a 1-2
-3 inning that took 11 pitches.
