: : == Andrew Brackman ==
: : TRENTON, N.J. -- Few have been as tough on Andrew Brackman as I have. The
: : outings I saw last year consistently left me unimpressed, as did his showing in
: : spring training this year. But, it appears we are finally seeing major progress
: : from the 6-foot-10 right-hander.
: 很少人跟我一樣，這麼負面看待Andrew Brackman。從去年開始到春訓他都沒有給我留下
as tough on Andrew Brackman as I have...我覺得是說他對Brackman沒有放棄,期待高,
而不是負面態度
: 太深的印象。但最終我們還是看到這位6尺10的右投手有很大的進步。
: : As he gets further and further away from Tommy John surgery, Brackman is
: : looking more comfortable letting the ball fly, and also with his mechanics in
: : general. The Brackman that threw on Friday night in Trenton had a strong
: : resemblance to the pitcher that scouts salivated over heading into the spring
: : of 2007. Here is what I saw from Brackman on Friday night in Trenton:
: 隨著Brackman從TJ恢復，他的球越來越會跑，而且他的投球機制越來越穩定(不確定)。
: 星期五晚上在二A Trenton的出賽，似乎漸漸成為2007年春天洋基選他前，讓球探口水流
: 滿地的投手。
: : Physical Description
: : This doesn't take much explanation. Brackman is downright enormous at 6-10.
: : More important is that he clearly knows how to use that height. He gets on top
: : of the ball well and uses his long reach to get outstanding extension. Brackman
: : also looks to be in the most trim, athletic shape he's been in since turning
: : pro.
: 身體素質
: 不消多說。Brackman是高大的6尺10吋。更重要的是他知道該如何利用他的身高。他
: (get on the ball well 不會翻)而且可以把長手臂做極佳的延伸。另外他的身材也是自從
: 打職棒以來的最佳狀態。
: : Mechanics
: : As noted above, size is a major part of Brackman's game and a big part of his
: : delivery. Working from a full windup, his plus fastball is even more difficult
: : to hit than usual considering the extension he creates with his height and
: : length. In other words, he's releasing the ball much closer to the plate than a
: : typical pitcher.
: : He has a long stride and at times his front side tends to drift. The stride
: : then gets a little long, the arm lags behind and suddenly he's up in the zone
: : and pitching underneath his fastball and curveball. It seems to happen in an
: : instant with Brackman. It's a common problem for pitchers, but considering the
: : length of his stride and where his front foot ends up on the mound, it can make
: : it extra difficult for him to stay on top of the baseball when things go wrong.
: 投球機制
: 同上所述，Brackman的身材對他出賽及投球有很大的影響。完整揮臂投出來的plus直球，
: 因為身高及手長的關係，比起一般直直球更難打。也就是說，他的出手點比起其他投手
: 更接近本壘板。
這整篇用get on top...,stay on top...的應該是說Brackman能掌控住這些
underneath就是控制不住了
: : But, what really stuck out to me with Brackman this time around was a certain
: : comfort level with his mechanics. Last season, he was mechanical and stiff,
: : looking unwilling to really let the ball go. On this night, his arm action
: : looked fast and clean, and for the most part he was able to repeat his delive
: : very well. At times, however, his size does haunt him.
: 但這次更讓我驚訝的是他的投球機制更加順暢。上一季他投球像機器人而且身體僵硬，看
: 起來似乎不想讓球離開手。但今晚他的揮臂看起來簡潔且快速，最重要的是他在重複投球
: 動作上做得很好。儘管有些時候他的身材對他造成困擾。
: : He has a long stride and at times his front side tends to drift. The stride
: : then gets a little long, the arm lags behind and suddenly he's up in the zone
: : and pitching underneath his fastball and curveball. It seems to happen in an
: : instant with Brackman. It's a common problem for pitchers, but considering th
: : length of his stride and where his front foot ends up on the mound, it can ma
: : it extra difficult for him to stay on top of the baseball when things go wron
: 他的跨步很長，有時候他的前端不穩定(front side tends to drift不確定)。然後跨
前腳落地會滑
: 步就會太長，導致揮臂跟不上身體的旋轉，(he is up in the zone and pitching
: underneath his fastball and curveball 不會翻，我猜沒辦法扣好球使球路偏高)。
: Brackman會突然發生這種情形。上述狀況對投手來說是常見的問題。不過因為Brackman的
: 身高及手長，還有投手丘上前腳的位置，使他遇到麻煩的時候比較難控制局面。
: : Fastball
: : It's been a long road back from surgery for Brackman and it has taken his
: : velocity a while to return to form. But now it is most certainly back. The big
: : right-hander sat 92-96 mph with his fastball on Friday night, mostly settling
: : in around 94. He peaked at 97 mph a handful of times. What impressed me more
: : than the velocity, however, was the life and ease with which he generated it.
: : This was clearly not the same tentative, stiff Andrew Brackman of 2009.
: : Brackman showed consistent, late two-seam life on his fastball and throughout
: : the game was able to produce late, weak swings. It's for this very reason that
: : I'd like to see him pitch more aggressively with his fastball. The development
: : of his secondary pitches and his trust in them is extremely encouraging, but
: : located properly his fastball is good enough to dominate a lineup on any given
: : night.
: 直球
: Brackman花了很多時間從TJ恢復，包括他的球速。可以確定的是現在都回復了。這位高大
: 右投手直球球速大約落在92-96mph，大部分94mph左右。他有幾次投到97mph。然而直球的
: 活力與出手輕鬆的程度，比起球速讓我印象更加深刻。他已經不是2009年那個生疏並且還
: 在摸索期的Brackman。Brackman整場比賽可以持續投出有尾勁的二縫線直球，使打者來不
有二縫線尾勁的速球
: 及或軟弱的揮棒。這就是我要他投更多直球的理由。發展並且增加對第二球路的信心當然
: 很好，但是控制好直球的位置已足以壓制整條打線。
: : The only time he will run into trouble is when he loses his mechanics and
: : begins to pitch underneath the ball. He then loses that good movement and
: : flattens out up in the zone. At that point, some of his confidence in his
: : fastball seems to evaporate and he goes more to his changeup. The sooner he
: : realizes that hitters are looking most helpless against his fastball than any
: : of his other pitches the better off he'll be.
: 當他的投球機制跑掉是他投直球唯一會出現麻煩的時候。他會失去尾勁，球變平，變高。
: 當他發生這樣的情形，他會對他的直球失去一些信心，然後丟更多變速球。他越快瞭解
: 比起其他球種，打者對他的直球最束手無策這件事，他會投得更好。
: : Curveball
: : The curveball is really a measuring stick for what kind of feel Brackman has
: : for his mechanics at that particular moment. If his stride is giving him
: : problems then suddenly he's underneath the curveball and it's ending up over
: : the righty hitter's head or heading to the backstop. Right now, that feel for
: : his curveball seems to change inning-to-inning. But when he can be more
: : consistent with it, and I now feel he eventually will, it's a dominant
: : swing-and-miss pitch that grades out as a 7 on the 2-8 scouting scale.
: 曲球
: 曲球最可以判斷Brackman當下對投球的感覺。如果他的跨步給他造成麻煩，則他的曲球會
: 飛過右打者頭頂或是打到檔球網。到目前為止，他對曲球的感覺似乎會隨著局與局而變化
: 。但是當他可以更加穩定，而且我覺得最終他可以，曲球是有壓制性的揮空球種，在2到8
: 分的量表可以得到7分。
: : Thrown at 77-81 mph, Brackman's curve is a true knee-buckler. On this night, he
: : continually went at righty hitters with front-door hooks on the inner half and
: : had a great deal of success. And, in general he showed a lot of confidence in
: : this pitch. On one occasion, he threw one of his best hooks of the night on the
: : 3-2 count and didn't get the call. But it's really the depth of the breaking
: : ball that's outstanding. From his height, he gets an enormous late drop on his
: : curveball, and when he's locating he can be close to unhittable.
: 77-81 mph的曲球是 (true knee-buckler不會翻)。當晚在中段局數的時候，他的曲球不
像Wainwright和Beckett那種曲球,軌跡是在接近本壘的時候會往下"折",加上有很好的速
球掩護,打者等著速球的時候重心會先前傾,然後曲球突然過來,打者要把重心留住膝蓋都會
頓一下,這時後曲球剛好折進好球帶,是形容這個.
: 斷(went at righty hitters with front-door hooks 不會翻)。
就是朝右打者身體丟過去突然折回好球帶的軌跡.
: 而且他對曲球展現自信。有一球是在兩好三壞下他投出那晚最棒的曲球之一，雖然
: 沒有得到裁判青睞，不過那是因為球變化太大掉太多，相當棒。因為身高高，他的曲球掉
: 的幅度相當大，當他能夠把球投在正確位置的時候幾乎打不到。
不只是大 特點是有late break
: Changeup
: : Although the fastball and curveball are really the go-to pitches for Brackman
: : he also featured a quality changeup against Binghamton on Friday. Working at
: : 85-88 mph, he appeared very comfortable throwing strikes with it on a
: : consistent basis and may have thrown even more changeups than curveballs. The
: : differential is not immense, but the spin matches his fastball well and it
: : produced quite a few weak ground balls.
: : If he can feature the changeup the way he did on Friday night, this is where I
: : also change my mind about Brackman's future profile. He not only is showing a
: : third pitch but looks very comfortable doing so. His changeup grades out a
: : solid-average 5 on the 2-8 scouting scale, and couple that with his plus
: : fastball and curve and you have a complete three-pitch pitcher.
: 變速球
: 儘管變速是他的第三球種，依然有不錯的品質。在穩定的時候，他可以自在地把88 mph的
: 變速球送進好球帶。速度差異不大，但是旋轉(球 or 人 不確定)跟直球很像，可以製造
: 一些軟弱滾地球。
: 如果Brackman可以丟出星期五晚上那樣的變速球，這會改變我對他生涯的看法。他不只展
: 現出第三種球路而且可以輕鬆投出來。變速在2-8分的球探量表可以得到穩定-平均的5分
: 。加上他plus的直球與曲球他會是擁有完整三種球路的投手。
: : Summation
: : Over the past year I've been primarily negative on Brackman. He had yet to show
: : me anything resembling the stuff he had in college and his command and
: : mechanics were a mess to say the least. As of now, he still has a lot to learn
: : about pitching, about how to read the bat, when to be more aggressive, among
: : other things. Taken on its own you'd think he has a very long, difficult road
: : ahead learning to be more consistent.
: 總結
: 過去幾年我對Brackman大多是負面評價。當時他還未找回他大學時擁有的天分，投球機制
: 跟控球則是一團糟。到目前為止，他還需要學習如何投球，解讀打者，投球更有侵略性等
: 等。學習更穩定則是更加遙遠與困難的事情。
: : But given the progress I've seen from last year to spring training to now, I'd
: : have to say that the righty has shown the ability to improve rapidly. He now
: : shows solid command in the strike zone, a smooth and rather effortless
: : over-the-top delivery, and the dynamic arsenal of a top-of-the-rotation
: : starter. If given the time and patience to develop, he now has all the
: : ingredients needed to make an elite big league starter. Again, there is much
: : work to be done, but Brackman now is much more than just a guy you can dream
: : on, and instead is a pitcher making outstanding progress.
: 但是從去年到今年春訓到現在的進步，我必須說他展現出迅速進步的能力。現在他有不錯
: 的控球(command)，比較平順省力的over-the-top出手，展現出前段輪值的潛力。給予一
: 些時間與耐心，他擁有成為優秀大聯盟先發投手的條件。再說一次，Brackman依然有很多
: 功課要做，但他現在不只是夢中幻想出來的人物，他有相當大的進步。

: : == Manny Banuelos ==
: : TAMPA, Fla. -- The pitching depth in the Yankees' farm system is as good as it
: : has been in many years, and leading the way is 19-year-old southpaw Manny
: : Banuelos. After missing a big chunk of the season due to an appendectomy, the
: : Mexico native has been lights-out with High-A Tampa since his return.
: : Most intriguing about Banuelos are the huge steps forward he has clearly made
: : this season. His velocity has spiked, his breaking ball is sharper, and now
: : looks more like a front of the rotation starter than the solid-pitchability
: : southpaw I scouted and was still highly impressed with in Charleston last
: : season. Here is what I saw from Banuelos in his most recent outing:
: : Physical Description
: : Banuelos has a smallish frame, but has added some significant bulk and strength
: : since I scouted him last season. Listed at 5-foot-10, he now has a solid frame
: : with a thick lower half. He moves well around the mound and shows decent
: : athleticism. And another good indicator of athleticism for young hurlers like
: : him is the ability to repeat his delivery, and Banuelos does that exceptionally
: : well.
: : At this stage, Banuelos is about where he should be long-term from a physical
: : standpoint. Given the stocky nature of his build, he'll have to be careful
: : about keeping his athleticism and body in check.
: : Mechanics
: : The owner of well-above-average command, Banuelos can credit that to his very
: : consistent delivery. Working from a high-three-quarters arm angle, he gets
: : excellent extension out in front and creates a nice downward angle despite his
: : lack of height. Occasionally he'll run into the common problem of working
: : underneath his pitches, however, and his typically sharp offerings flatten out
: : up in the zone. It's a rut he will get into now and then, but at his age it's
: : far from a serious issue.
: : Fastball
: : This is where Banuelos' game has changed the most since the 2009 season. Last
: : season, I had him sitting 90-92 with the fastball, touching 93. In his most
: : recent outing, he sat 93-94 mph, never dipping below 92, and routinely hit
: : 95-96 mph. Banuelos even touched 97 on a couple occasions. At that level of
: : velocity, he has a true plus fastball, particularly for a left-hander.
: : He showed good life down in the zone with his fastball, and had only one of his
: : fastballs turned on with any authority all night. In other words, the velocity
: : was playing well and continued to produce late swings and swings and misses.
: : Considering his age, Banuelos showed well-above-average fastball command, but
: : will have to work on his feel for the inside part of the plate against righty
: : hitters. He got somewhat predictable, working on the outer third and allowing
: : hitters to dive out over the plate. And, in general, although you have to love
: : his outstanding aggressiveness and strike-throwing nature, he proved to be a
: : bit reckless with his location in the zone at times.
: : Curveball
: : The curveball is another significant difference in the 2010 version of Manny
: : Banuelos. When he stayed on top, his downer curveball was a consistent plus, 6
: : pitch on the 2-8 scouting scale. Working at 75-79 mph, he was able to back-foot
: : it to right-handed hitters with tight, late spin. He was also able to backdoor
: : it and consistently nip the outside corner.
: : The key for Banuelos' curveball is getting extension. Occasionally, at least in
: : this particular outing, he cut his arm action off a bit early and the breaking
: : ball got a little round. But when he's right and getting it down in the zone,
: : it's a true swing-and-miss, above-average pitch.
: : Changeup
: : The changeup has long been Banuelos' best pitch, and that continues to be the
: : case despite the advances of his other pitches. He throws it at 78-82 mph with
: : big two-seam action and dead-fish drop. When he's spotting it down and away
: : it's clearly his most dominant offering. A couple times in this outing, he
: : lapsed into pushing the changeup and left it up in the zone, but for the most
: : part he was precise with his location. The left-hander looked extra confident
: : with his change, doubling up at times and going to it in hitters' counts. It's
: : this pitch that really sets him apart and will allow him to move quickly.
: : Summation
: : Look around the big leagues and find the left-handed starting pitchers that
: : average 93 mph or better with their fastball. It's a very short list. Throw in
: : the fact that Banuelos is a consistent strike-throwing machine with two
: : above-average secondary pitches and you have a very rare commodity.
: : If you're looking for any negatives with Banuelos, it's his lack of size. But
: : given the ease of his delivery, plus stuff and greatly advanced pitching
: : aptitude, this is a particular talent that goes against the stereotype. If he
: : can remain healthy and keep his shorter frame in check, he is a true
: : front-of-the-rotation type pitcher.
: : == Dellin Betances ==
: : Frankie Piliere 在 Twitter上寫的:
: : 「 This is prime Josh Beckett type stuff from Betances, wow. The
: : ability to get 2 strikes with the CH and finish letter high at
: : 96 is special」
: : ==
: : 希望都可以好好發展啦...
