[外電] Didi Gregorius could surprise for Ari

[AZB (OVER)]

By Buster Olney

Didi Gregorius' early history of offensive production will never be confused
with that of, say, Jurickson Profar, because he hasn't hit more than seven
homers for any team, and his on-base percentage has been modest. This is part
of the reason why the Diamondbacks' swap with the Reds in December for
Gregorius drew some industry-wide shrugs. He has been seen as a very good
defender, and also as someone who might be challenged offensively in his
career.



But part of the reason why sports are fascinating is that you never really
know what will happen next, and there are signs that Gregorius is going to be
better than expected at the plate. Sure, he had a nice debut for the
Diamondbacks on Thursday, clubbing a home run on the first pitch he saw, and
added two more hits in Colorado Friday night. But even before that, Gregorius
had seemed to become more of a threat at the plate, with his good showing in
the Arizona Fall League, spring training and Triple-A this year.



"I think he's going to hit," a rival evaluator, who saw Gregorius in person
earlier in the spring, said Friday. "His swing looks to me like he's in and
out of the zone real quick, but he's got lots of strength and lots of bat
speed."



In other words: The left-handed hitting Gregorius has some tools to work and
improve with, and his defensive skills demonstrate he learns and adapts. "I
was really impressed with how he set himself defensively," the evaluator
said. "He made his throws according to the speed of the runner, even though
he's got a great arm, he does this thing where he seems to stutter-step when
he [attacks] a ground ball. He almost goes through the baseball. He's an
impact defender."





Arizona general manager Kevin Towers recalled Friday that when he saw
Gregorius play last fall, the young infielder swung the bat effectively.
"There were some holes in the swing, but there definitely was bat speed and
there was pitch recognition," he said. "We never really had a question about
whether he was going to hit."



Towers felt good, too, about what he had heard when he checked Gregorius'
background. Mike Bell, the Arizona farm director, had talked with David Bell,
his brother, who had managed in the Reds' farm system and knew Gregorius --
and he talked about the shortstop's tremendous mental makeup. And the defense.



"He can really, really play short," said Towers. "A 70 arm (on the scouts'
scale of 20 to 80), and he can make body-control plays. He's got really soft
hands, and he got a lot of range . . . A tremendous kid, and he's got no
fear."



Gregorius was called up to the big leagues after Willie Bloomquist and then
Aaron Hill went down with injuries. The Diamondbacks had hoped to get
Gregorius a few more weeks in the minors, but now he is here, perhaps
prepared to pitch in more at the plate than expected.


Didi生涯早期的進攻產出雖然無法跟名氣響亮的Profar等人相比
但的確有些跡象顯示 他比大多數人 包括一些鍵盤半桶水大大想像的還要會打
今年他延續了去年在AFL的好表現
在AAA7場比賽也打出了0.387 0.424 0.645 包括2hr的成績
有敵隊的評估人員覺得他會打  有短的揮棒軌跡 很大的力量跟很快的揮棒
這些都在他已經被廣為人知的良好防守之外
KT表示 他覺得Didi揮棒一開始的確有死角 但無可否認的 他有好的揮棒速度且會辨識球種
防守上 Didi則有70分的arm 柔軟良好的手感 且有廣大的Range

當KT徵詢Mike Bell(ARI的農場主管)有關Didi時
Mike問了他兄弟David Bell (曾任職於CIN農場)
David提到了Didi絕佳的心理素質跟防守

現在還早 還小樣本
但對比於Bauer (上一場5局就丟了7BB MLB生涯 BB>K ???)
除了那群半桶水酸民大大 還會有很多人覺得這交易一面倒嘛
附上Didi今年三場打的兩支HR跟一個play

再對比一些假大大的酸文
推 abc12812:他不上場才好 上愈多傷害愈大
→ abc12812:有人會在意Jerry Gil能不能上場ㄇ

Bauer換Didi...不想說了

大家覺得Didi幹掉Pennington的機會有多少？

個人覺得未來的SS不是繼續Bloomquist

就是Chris Owings開竅

還有Pennington打得勉強讓人留用三個選項而已.

→ abc12812:當然他進化的可能性不是沒有 但我想正常人不會把賭注
→ abc12812:下在一個連在小聯盟打擊都不到平均的人身上

Derek Jeter生涯前三場數據

PA  AB  R  H  HR  RBI  BB  SO  SB  BA    OBP    SLG

13  11  3  3  0   1    2   3   0   .273  .385   .273

只要有打出這個成績就賺惹！

是說這孩子也挺可憐的，他也沒做錯什麼事就是...

可是還是會被酸到爆。

Didi前三場
BA 0.545 OBP 0.583 SLG 1.182 2HR
就算沒賺也應該不算輸惹吧???

球季還長 有些球員的growth curve就是比較晚 但身體素質就擺在那
其實某些三腳貓大大 有空可以去真正打打球 不用躲在鍵盤後面裝大大 急著酸天酸地
