Bartolo Colon Hopes To Pitch In 2019

Bartolo Colon will turn 46 next May, but the veteran right-hander told
reporters this week that he’s nonetheless hoping for a return to the Majors
next season (link via Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News). Specifically,
Colon said he’d love to return to the Rangers, though Fraley suggests that
could be a long shot.

Given Colon’s recent results, it’s difficult to imagine anything other than
minor league offers materializing for him in free agency this winter. While
he came out of the gates with a strong 3.55 ERA and 40-to-7 K/BB ratio
through his first 63 1/3 innings with the Rangers in 2018, his season has
spiraled out of control. The righty has turned in a woeful 7.11 ERA over his
past 15 starts with 41 strikeouts against 18 walks in 81 innings of work.

Though this is more a statement about the Rangers and their rotation woes
than it is about Colon, the veteran right-hander does lead Texas with 144 1/3
innings pitched in 2018. He’s remained a fairly durable rotation piece even
at 45 years of age, though his fastball is averaging a career-low 87.4 mph.
Meanwhile, his 1.87 HR/9 mark is the highest he’s posted since a brief,
ill-fated run with the 2009 White Sox, though surely playing at Globe Life
Park in Arlington doesn’t help him in that regard. Colon’s walk rate
remains pristine (1.56 BB/9), and it’s also worth noting that
fielding-independent pitching metrics feel he’s performed similarly, if not
better than he did in 2017 when he managed to secure a minor league pact with
Texas (4.64 xFIP).

Colon already broke Juan Marichal’s record for wins by a Dominican-born
pitcher earlier this season — he’s now at 247 in his career — and he’s
spoken recently about wanting to top Marichal’s career innings mark as well.
Colon is currently 47 1/3 frames shy of that distinction, so he won’t get
there before the end of the current campaign.

It’s certainly plausible that another club would put forth a minor league
offer this winter — more anecdotally, Colon has pitched for 11 different
teams, placing him two teams behind Edwin Jackson’s record of 13 — but “
Big Sexy” would almost certainly have to earn his way onto a 2019 roster
with a more encouraging Spring Training effort.

5. 備註：

(1) 明年五月就要46歲的老將Bartolo Colon希望明年還能在大聯盟征戰，看得出來他很
願意再披上遊騎兵球衣，但據達拉斯早報記者Gerry Fraley表示成真的可能性不大。

(2) 兩段時間的表現差異：

           G(GS)    W-L   ERA    IP    H     R(ER)    SO    BB     BA     BAbip

四月+五月  11(9)    2-3   3.55   63.1  52    26(25)   40    7     .221    .210

六月以後   15(15)   5-9   7.11   81.0  113   66(64)   41    18    .328    .331

(3) Colon本季速球均速為生涯新低的87.4 mph、HR/9也是自2009年以來的最高(1.87)，不
過他的BB/9仍是夠水準的1.56、4.64的xFIP也較去年球季進步(5.14)。

(4) Bartolo Colon生涯247勝是多明尼加投手中最多的(原紀錄：Juan Marichal的243勝)
，而他也只差47.1局就能追上Juan Marichal的投球局數(3507局)。

(5) Bartolo Colon身穿11件不同隊的球衣，最多的是Edwin Jackson所保持的13隊。

(6) Bartolo Colon今年在遊騎兵隊的成績表現(今年薪水：$1.75MM)：

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

    7 - 12  5.55   144.1   92    89     81     25     87       5.31    1.316
