Talented prospect looking to improve skills with eyes on rotation or cl role
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com | 3/14/2014 7:59 P.M. ET
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Despite what his numbers said while he was in college,
Nationals right-hander Jake Johansen is confident in his abilities.
儘管大學時期數據不佳，
國民右投Jake Johansen對自己的能力依然有信心。
As long as he does the little things right, Johansen believes he will be in the
Nationals' rotation some day. Furthermore, Johansen has not ruled out becoming
a closer in the future.
Johansen相信自己有天將是國民輪值的一員，
只要他把小細節一樣樣做好，
此外他也不排斥未來當個CL。
"I see myself as a starter. I'd like to stay a starter as long as possible,"
Johansen said. "It's whatever I can do to help the ballclub win. So if that's
the starting rotation role, then I'll be more ecstatic to do that. If it's a
closing role, I'm more than willing to do that as well."
＂我認為自己是先發，也想盡可能當先發。
但無論任何角色只要能幫球隊贏球我都願意做。
所以如果是先發投手我會高興到瘋掉，
如果是終結者當然也非常樂意。＂
Johansen, 23, is the first to tell you that he needs to improve his skills
before he even thinks about going to the big leagues. Before the team's
accelerated camp for prospects came to an end recently, there was Johansen
improving his delivery and secondary pitches -- curveball, slider and a
changeup. He wants to develop a sidearm delivery and throw across his body a
little bit.
23歲的Johansen比起上大聯盟更先思考如何精進自己的球技。
練新秀用的accelerated camp已經結束，
在此之前Johansen改進他的出手與第二武器－－－
曲球，滑球與變速。
他想培養體側出手並多利用身體的延展性去投球。
"Getting there a few weeks earlier made a huge difference," Johansen said about
the accelerated camp. "It gets your mindset ready and helps you physically
prepare for the grind of the season. I made a few adjustments in my delivery.
... I feel really comfortable going into the season."
＂早幾個禮拜報到就有很巨大的改變。＂
提到accelerated camp時Johansen這樣講。
＂能讓你做好心理與身體的準備去應付整個球季。
我針對出手做了些調整，
．．．對於即將到來的球季我真的覺得很舒服。＂
Johansen was the 68th overall pick -- and the Nationals' first pick -- in the
2013 First-Year Player Draft. Johansen has a fastball that is clocked as high
as 100 mph. However, his secondary pitches are a work in progress.
68順位的Johansen是國民2013年選秀會第一指名，
速球可飆到三位數，然而第二球種還在努力中。
Before he was selected, Johansen went to Nationals Park and worked out for the
team. After throwing 30 pitches, the Nationals decided to draft him even though
he had a 5.40 ERA for Dallas Baptist University last season.
被選上前Johansen就曾到Nationals Park測試練投30球。
就算他在Dallas Baptist University最後一季ERA高達5.40，
國民還是決定選他。
Johansen remembers the day vividly when he threw for the team at Nationals
Park.
Johansen對他在Nationals Park那天是依舊記憶猶新。
"A few days before the Draft, it was an unforgettable experience in itself to
play on that field. It was awesome," Johansen said.
＂就在選秀會的幾天前，在那個球場打球是個不可能忘記的美好經驗。＂
The Nationals are convinced they can fix any flaws Johansen may have had on the
mound.
球團說服自己他們有信心修好Johansen在投手丘上的任何缺陷。
"He is a big, physical, strong starting pitcher. He has a real quick arm and
wants to harness his delivery," said Mark Scialabba, the Nationals' director of
player development. "He is a sponge right now. He is really working hard at his craft. He is a great makeup guy, and we hope that he takes a big
step forward this year."
＂他是個高大強壯又充滿活力的先發投手，出手很快也試圖駕馭送球動作。＂
球員培養部大頭Mark Scialabba說。
＂現在的他就像一塊海綿，他真的很努力想在明年能更進一步。＂
Johansen, who is ranked by MLB.com as the 12th-best prospect in the Nationals' farm system, took some steps forward during his first season in
professional baseball. In 10 starts for Class A Short Season Auburn, Johansen
had a 1.06 ERA and struck out 44 batters in 42 1/3 innings. Johansen said he
went in with a bulldog mentality and took one inning at a time.
Johansen被官網列為國民農場新秀第12名，
短期1A的10次先發中Johansen在42.1局裡三振44人次ERA僅1.06。
Johansen說他每個半局上場前都把自己武裝成一隻鬥牛犬。
Then he went to Class A Hagerstown, where he admitted he was physically tired
but loved the playoff atmosphere.
接著他前往1A，在那裡他承認身體很疲倦但也很愛季後賽氛圍。
"We went to the championship game, of course," Johansen said. "The fan support
was great. I really enjoyed it."
＂我們前進到冠軍戰，當然了，
粉絲的聲援很棒，我真的很喜歡。＂
Johansen hopes to harness his craft and enjoy better success in the future with
the Nationals.
Johansen希望能控制自己的技巧，跟著國民享受更美好的成功。
