Hiroki Kuroda To Retire

內文：

Veteran right-hander Hiroki Kuroda has announced that he’ll retire at the
end of the season, as Japan’s Kyodo News reports. The seven-year major
league veteran has pitched in the Nippon Professional Baseball league for the
last two seasons upon returning to his homeland.

Kuroda, 41, is best known in these parts as a high-quality member of the
Dodgers and then the Yankees. But in Japan, he is famed for his long run with
the Hiroshima Carp — the organization he broke in with, excelled for, and
returned to after his run in the majors (spurning the Padres’ reported
efforts to keep him stateside).

Indeed, the Japanese star did not appear in the big leagues until his age-33
season. Of his twenty years of professional pitching, Kuroda spent 13 in the
NPB — all for the Carp. All told, he provided that organization with over
2,000 innings of 3.55 ERA pitching. And he has been even better since his
return, posting successive 2.55 and 3.09 ERA campaigns. He’ll hang up his
spikes after the team’s run through the Japan Series comes to a close.

“The Japan Series will be the end. I’ve decided to hang it up,” Kuroda
said. “I’ve been shown an excellent dream with an excellent team. And now I
want to go out with a smile on my face, all of us celebrating a championship
pouring beer on each other.”

In between his stints in Hiroshima, Kuroda excelled in the majors. He spurned
several other suitors to join the Dodgers for the 2008 campaign, initially
inking a three-year deal. From that point forward, Kuroda inked successive
one-year pacts — first returning to Los Angeles, then switching coasts to
join the Yankees on what turned out to be a trio of single-season deals (the
final two of which came after he declined qualifying offers).

Through it all, Kuroda was a model of consistency. He only completed one
campaign — his 2009 sophomore MLB season — with less than 31 starts. And he
never completed a year with an earned run average of more than 3.76.
Ultimately, Kuroda provided his two major league organizations with nearly
identical production: 699 innings of 3.45 ERA pitching with 6.7 K/9 against
2.1 BB/9 for the Dodgers, and 620 frames of 3.44 ERA ball with 6.7 K/9 and
1.9 BB/9 for the Yanks. Even as his fastball velocity dwindled, Kuroda’s
sinker/slider mix allowed him to steadily maintain his peripherals, and he
ended with a 48.6% groundball rate and even 10.0% swinging strike rate in the
majors.

In the aggregate, Kuroda earned just over $88MM as a major leaguer. And he is
currently the highest-paid player in Japan. But it’s hard to dispute that he
has delivered value at every stop along the way. MLBTR joins all those around
the game in congratulating Kuroda on his outstanding two decades as a
professional ballplayer, and in wishing him good fortune in his future
endeavors.

備註：

1. 黑田博樹宣布在日本大賽結束後高掛球鞋退休。

2. 黑田博樹從美國返回日本後，最讓人津津樂道的是他曾在2014年球季結束後，婉拒教士
隊開出的$18MM/1YR合約，回到他職棒生涯首站──廣島鯉魚隊。

3. 黑田博樹美日兩大聯盟的生涯共計20年，分別是13年在廣島鯉魚、4年洛杉磯道奇與
3年紐約洋基，兩大聯盟主投超過3000局，並繳出3.51的ERA，而在日本廣島鯉魚的最後兩
年，他分別繳出2.55與3.09的ERA，本季更帶領球隊勇闖日本一。

4. 黑田博樹：「日本大賽結束後我將決定要退休，我和這麼棒的球隊編織出夢想，現在
我想要帶著笑容，和所有隊友相互噴啤酒來慶祝奪得冠軍」

5. 黑田博樹著名在耐投與穩定性，在美國每年貢獻31~32場先發，即便球速隨著年齡而
下降，黑田的Sinker/Slider組合仍讓他有所發揮，在MLB生涯滾地球率為48.6%、甚至有
10%的揮空率。

6. 黑田博樹在美國通計薪水為$88MM(折合台幣約27億7500萬)，而他今年$4.9MM/1YR的合
約是日本本季最高薪的球員。

7. 黑田博樹7年美國大聯盟通算成績：

    W - L   ERA     IP     R     ER     SO     BB     ERA+     FIP     WHIP
