: FROM:USA TODAY
: Here's a look at the pitching matchup in Game 1 of the American League
: Division Series between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians:
: Chien-Ming Wang, RHP, New York Yankees
現在來看看NYY及CLE在ALDS第一戰的投手組合
Chien-Ming Wang, RHP, NYY

: Wang is now the Yankees' ace – something few imagined when he came over from
: Taiwan. He finished the 2007 regular season with a 19-7 record, compared to
: 19-6 in 2006 when he finished second in the AL Cy Young voting. All of Wang's
: other 2007 statistics (ERA, WHIP, home runs, etc.) are virtually the same as
: in 2006, except for his strikeout/inning rate. That rate improved a dramatic
: 50% —- an increase that bodes well for the 27-year-old's continued
: development.
Wang現在是NYY ace-這是他從台灣來美國時無法想像的
2006成績 19-6  AL Cy投票第二, 2007成績 19-7
2007大部份的數字(ERA, WHIP, home run)跟2006 almost the same
strikeou/inning驚人地增加50%,表示這位27歲的投手仍在持續成長

: Wang consistently goes deep into games, having pitched at least six innings
: in 27 of his 30 starts. This enables the Yankees to avoid using their
: inconsistent middle relief and get directly to Joba Chamberlain and Mariano
: Rivera. Because the Yankees' offense is so dominant, Wang and other starters
: can focus on keeping their team in the game as opposed to dominating the
: opponent's offense.
Wang能穩定吃下相當多的局數, 30場先發中至少有27場能吃下六局
這能避免Yankee使用火牛陣,使得王下場後能直接讓Joba及Mo接手
由於NYY打擊火力驚人, Wang不用太過壓制對手打擊就能控制比賽勝利

: Wang grades out at a 70 on the scouting 20-80 scale, which evaluates raw
: pitching tools. By comparison, Johan Santana of the Minnesota Twins grades
: out at 75. Based on his raw pitching tools and actual results, we categorize
: Wang as "Good" on a marginal/key role/average/good/premium/elite scale.

在評估投手能手的20-80 scale中,王能得70分(山大王的分數為75)
根據他的投手能力及實際戰績在marginal/key role/average/good/premium/elite中,
王可以得到Good的評價

: Strengths
: Wang has one of the best power sinking fastballs in the game. He is young and
: durable and he handles the big game pressure very well. He goes deep into
: games, which allows the Yankees' offense to take over.
: Weaknesses
: He is not a strikeout type pitcher, and successful post-season pitchers tend
: to be strikeout pitchers. He will use predictable pitch sequences, giving
: opponents the opportunity to guess pitches. His breaking slider is
: inconsistent.
優點
Wang有一顆最強的sinking FB, 年輕又耐操, 又有很好的抗壓性
由於Wang能投長局數並控制比賽,因此讓NYY以他們的打擊獲得比賽勝利

缺點
不是三振型投手,成功的季後賽投手通常是三振型投手
由於他的投球球種較容易猜測,因此給予對手預測球路的機會
有一顆不錯的slider但是不太穩定


: Pitches
: FASTBALL (90-94 mph)
: Movement: May have the best movement of any fastball in the major leagues —
:  when it's right. His best pitch without question.
: Command: He will command this pitch down in the zone, and he will use it to
: both sides of the plate. He achieves very good movement both inside and out
: of the strike zone.
: Plan: He gets strike one with his fastball and he does it on the first pitch.
: He usually starts hitters away with his fastball
球種
Fastball (90-94 mph)
尾勁:
當狀況好時,無疑是有大聯盟最佳尾勁的速球
他的最強球路是無庸置疑
控球力:
能將速球控在好球帶的下方,也能投在plate的兩側
不管在好球帶內外,都能投出相當好的尾勁
出現時機:
他能靠這顆速球搶到第一個好球數,所以第一球會常投速球
打者只能看著這顆球進來卻打不到

: SLIDER (81-85 mph)
: Movement: He throws a hard slider that has shown improvement with depth and
: spin. It currently has average break but shows signs of quick late break.
: Command: Wang commands this pitch best to his glove-side. Once in a while
: he'll attempt a backdoor slider to a left-handed hitter. Most misses with
: this pitch are down and away from right-handed hitters.
: Plan: Wang will usually use this pitch in middle counts (1-1, 2-1). When he
: is throwing his slider for strikes early, he tends to get more swings and
: misses when it is used as an out-pitch later in the count.
SLIDER (81-85 mph)
尾勁:
能投不錯的滑球,這顆滑球在尾勁及spin已經有明顯的進步
有平均水準的尾勁,但可以在很接近本壘板時才產生快速變化的尾勁
控制力:
Wang將滑球投在他的手套側是有最好的控球
偶而對左打者投滑球來開後門
右打者對這顆向下變化的滑球常揮空棒
出現時機:
Wang在middle counts(1-1, 1-2)會使用滑球
當他可以用這顆滑球騙到好球數時,
會以這顆滑球當out-pitch來三振打者

: SPLIT-FINGER (79-84 mph)
: Movement: His splitter has good tailing action and sink to it.
: Command: Wang will command this pitch both in and out of the strike zone.
: Plan: He usually uses this pitch when he is ahead in the count, most often to
: left-handed hitters. He has a tendency to leave this ball up in the zone, and
: he doesn't have a lot of confidence in it.
SFF (79-84 mph)
尾勁:
尾勁不錯而且掉得下來
控球力
能將SFF投在好球帶的裡面或外面
出現時機
在球數領先時,最常用SFF對付左打者.
有時候球會掉不下,他沒有許多信心使用這顆sff

: Best Matchup
: Wang didn't face the Indians this year and has only three starts against them
: for his career, so there's not a large enough sample size to evaluate trends
: against individual Indians. However, given that Wang's strength is pitching
: low in the zone, he should match up well against Trot Nixon and Jason
: Michaels, both of whom are high ball hitters.
Best matchup
Wang今年沒有對上笑臉人過,生涯對笑臉人有三次先發,
所以沒有足夠的sample size來評估
假設Wang能將球投進好球帶的下方
應該可以解決Tron Nixon and Jason Michaels,這二位喜歡打HIGH BALL


: Worst Matchup
: Wang will need to be especially careful against Grady Sizemore and Victor
: Martinez because both of them excel in hitting pitches low in the zone, in
: addition to being excellent hitters in general.
Worst Match
Wang需要注意Grady Sizemore 及Victor Martinez
這二位打者是相當優秀的打者,也能將壓低的球路打出去


: Pitching Mechanics (A)
: Wang maintains a consistent tempo, which helps him repeat his arm slot and
: his pitching mechanics. It's not a surprise, then, that he is able to go deep
: into games and is durable for entire season.
投球機制 A
Wang有穩定的投球節奏,能幫助他穩定他的手臂動作及投球機制
所以能吃下許多局數,在整個球季都能表現穩定

: Pitching Plan
: Wang's pitching plan rarely changes. He will attack the strike zone with his
: power sinker. When the power sinker is down in the strike zone, he usually
: produces a lot of groundball outs and keeps his infielders busy. He has made
: significant progress with the development of his slider in 2007 and, as a
: result, has increased his number of strikeouts.
: Keys to success
投球內容
Wang的投球內容變化較少,他會用他的power sinker好球數
當power sinker掉在好球帶下緣能造成許多GO,內野手變得很忙
由於SLIDER有明顯的進步,因此也能增加三振數


: Wang must produce groundball outs with his power sinker thrown down in the
: strike zone. He doesn't have to be precise with his off-speed pitches.
: Rather, he simply needs to show them to the Indians' hitters and keep them
: from sitting on the sinker.
成功的關鍵
重點在於Wang必須將power sinker壓低使得產生大量的GO
不必過於要求他的off-speed pitch控得好
只要利用他的變化球干擾打者的判斷,讓打者無法鎖定他的sinker就好
