[外電] Anthony Rendon 的傳球姿勢

[kobec (水桶工程師)]

難得有機會在DC停留一段時間，就狂進場看球賽(五塊門票好便宜~)

結果就對這個打者印象超深刻，查了他本季的表現，九轟裡面我就親眼看到了6轟

包括對大都會那晚的三轟10RBI和這周對馬林魚的雙響炮

剛好看到這篇介紹他的文章 就試著翻譯看看 不過感覺好多翻起來都有點詞不達意

還請大家幫忙修改囉~

Why does Anthony Rendon use that unconventional throwing motion?
By Chelsea Janes


Anthony Rendon has undergone one noticeable and noteworthy change in his
Nationals career, one as glaring from where scouts sit in the stands as it is
from where amateur scouts file 140-character reports from couches around the
area. Rendon makes nearly every throw from near his waist, a low sidearm
angle, not the over-the-top type taught as fundamental. He did not always.
Why the change?

Anthony Rendon 在國民隊的表現發生了一些相當重要且值得關注的改變，
對於那些在看台上的球探而言，這改變相當引人注目，
就如同當初圈內的教練們看到業餘球探關於他的140字球探報告一樣。
Rendon的每一個傳球幾乎都從腰際出手，近乎低肩側投的角度
而非傳統的上肩傳球
但他以前並非如此，為何會出現這樣的改變?


"I really don’t know,” Rendon said earlier this season. “I’ve always
been a three-quarters guy, even when I was younger — college and whatever. I
guess it slowly, gradually started getting lower and lower. The funny thing
is, all the guys make fun of me about it.”

Rendon在季初的時候說：「我真的不知道，我其實從小到大投球姿勢直職都是3/4，
我猜我的出手姿勢應該是慢慢地變低，而且有趣的是，所有人都會拿我的姿勢取笑我。」


When his teammates kid him, Rendon is both surprised and amused. He said he
feels like he is throwing from above shoulder height, more three-quarters
than side arm. In reality, he is throwing from much lower, though he doesn’t
realize it in the moment.

當他的隊友開始取笑他的時候，Rendon感到驚訝且有趣，
他說他自己覺得他是從肩膀以上的高度出手，和側投相比應該更接近3/4。
儘管他自己沒有意識到，但實際上，他的出手點更低。


"Isn’t like softball pitching, isn’t that the more natural motion?”
Rendon said. “Maybe I’m in the wrong sport. I should go to Australia and
play fast-pitch softball.”
Rendon did not explain why he would need to go to Australia to do that, but
his point has merit. Players generally find dropping down to be easier on
their shoulders, as Ryan Zimmerman did when he was battling shoulder trouble
at third base. Rendon insists he is healthy, and that his throwing style is a
developing habit, not a conscious choice.

「那姿勢看起來是不是像快壘的投球?對快壘來說是不是我的姿勢更自然?
或許我選錯職業了，我應該到澳洲打快壘才對。」Rendon說。
他並未解釋為何他需要去澳洲打快壘，但他的說法卻很有價值。
一般而言，選手會刻意降低出手點以減輕肩膀的負擔。
如Ryan Zimmerman當初在三壘與肩傷奮鬥時，就選擇降低出手點。
Rendon堅持他是相當健康的，他出手點的改變是無意識的習慣累積，而非刻意。


Sidearm throws generally move more than their over-the-top counterparts,
meaning they are harder to control and inherently riskier.
"We’ve had the conversation and he knows, but I’m not worried about it
because he’s so good from there,” said Chris Speier, the Nationals bench
coach and infield director. “Percentages are that there are going to be more
errant throws from down here because balls tail. But he’s so good at it,
that I’m not concerned at all.”

一般來說，側投的位移會比上肩還大，也就是說對球的控制更加困難，也容易產生風險。
「我們曾經討論過這個問題，而他也知道側投的風險，但我並不擔心他的傳球。」
國民隊的首席教練與內野指導員Chris Speier表示：
「機率上來說，越低的出手點會因為球的尾勁而造成更多的傳球失誤，
但因為他是如此傑出的球員，因此我並不擔心」


As of Tuesday, Rendon ranks sixth among major league third basemen in
defensive WAR, third in defensive runs saved and sixth in UZR (Ultimate Zone
Rating). He is, statistically, and to the naked eye, one of the better
defensive third basemen in baseball and was a Gold Glove finalist there last
season after spending the injury-shortened 2015 season at second base.

至本周二(5/23)為止，全大聯盟的三壘手排名中，Rendon的防守WAR排名第六，
Defensive Runs Saved (DRS)排名第三，UZR排名第六。
不論是從進階統計數據或是光憑肉眼都可以知道他是個相當優秀的三壘手。
且在2015球季因傷短暫移防二壘後，在上個球季還能夠成為金手套的候選人。


But that Rendon is able to make some of the hardest throws on the diamond —
 charging, backing up, deep in the hole, etc. — from his distinct arm angle
speaks to his comfort level with it, and to the power of his wrists.
“He’s got a lot of arm strength there,” said Speier, pointing to his
forearm and wrist. “You see that at-bat, too.”

Rendon有能力在內野利用他那與眾不同的揮臂角度與手腕力量完成一些高難度的傳球，
如趨前防守、補位或是內野長傳等，而且都是在他感到手臂舒適的情況下完成。
Speier說：「他的手臂(指前臂與手腕)也變得更強壯，你同樣可以從打擊中看出來。」

Rendon has learned to harness the throw, whether easy tosses across the
diamond or quick-hit bullets to get force outs at second. He rarely sails it,
and even more rarely sees it tail away from him.

Rendon已經知道如何駕馭他的傳球，不論是輕鬆的對角傳球
或是接到如子彈般快速的球之後再迅速地傳到二壘封殺跑者。
你很少會看到Rendon傳球會偏高，也很難看到他的傳球會漸漸變弱而掉下來。

"I think obviously I have to stay cognizant of it. I throw it from down
here but I come on top, if that makes sense,” said Rendon, explaining that
he flips his wrist to come over top of the ball, even if his arm does not. “
I have to make sure my back shoulder follows to the target and stay through
it. Sometimes when I over-exaggerate, that’s when it flies, goes straight
and never cuts back. It sails.”

「我想很明顯的，我必須不停地注意這點，我雖然是從較低的地方出手，
但我還是會延伸到頂端，這相當合理」Rendon這樣說，
他解釋他會翻轉他的手腕讓手還是扣住球的上緣，即使他的手臂不是從上而下揮。
「我必須確保我的後肩是朝著我傳球的目標並一直保持如此，
有時候如果太誇張的話，球就會一直飛，不會轉回來，然後就噴了」

But Rendon does not often have that problem, though his rare third base
throwing motion is most obvious when he does. For now, Speier said the
Nationals have no plans to correct it. A younger player might need to adjust.
But Rendon controls the throw as well as most do from normal arm slots. After
all, it feels normal to him.

但Rendon並不常發生這種事，雖然當他傳爆的時候，
他這種罕見的三壘傳球姿勢會變得很明顯。
目前為止，Speier表示國民隊並不打算修正他的傳球姿勢。
雖然年輕球員會需要一些調整，但Rendon對於傳球的控制就像其他正姿勢的球員一樣好，
而且最重要的是他對這個姿勢感到很自在。

So does hitting, the part of the game Rendon always says comes most easily
and feels most comfortable. Tuesday night, he sparked the Nationals’
 offensive explosion with a two-homer, three-hit evening. One of those home
runs came in the midst of an eight-run outburst in which the Nationals scored
as many runs in an inning as they had in any game this month. Rendon now has
five home runs and 15 RBI in Joe Ross’s past two starts.
“If he could pitch every game,” Rendon said Tuesday. “That’d be awesome.”

打擊方面也是如此，Rendon總是感到輕鬆自在。
禮拜二晚上，他就以兩支全壘打，全場三支安打點燃了國民的打擊火力，
其中一支全壘打發生在國民隊單局八分大爆發的時候，
同時這也是本月國民隊單局得分最高的紀錄。
Rendon在Joe Ross過去的兩場先發，總共敲了五支全壘打，製造15分打點。
Rendon在禮拜二的時候說：「如果他能夠每天都出賽投球的話，那就棒極了!」
