Backed by his blazing speed, Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury had no
problem diving onto the warning-track dirt or into a patch of grass to make a
highlight-reel catch.

Though he is known best for his basestealing ability -- particularly when he
stole home in April against the Yankees -- Ellsbury's glove-work in center
got him enough notice to be selected as the Defensive Player of the Year in
MLB.com's annual This Year in Baseball Awards.

Once again, the fans voted in record numbers when given the chance to weigh
in on the season's best players, plays and moments in the 2009 This Year in
Baseball Awards, as more than 12 million votes were cast on MLB.com. Winners
will be presented their trophies on the field in 2010.

Ellsbury won a close race against Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.

The two errors Ellsbury made in 2009 were the first of his career. He has
handled his other 772 chances in the Majors cleanly for a fielding percentage
of .997.

One of Ellsbury's most memorable grabs of the season came on June 7 at
Fenway, when he raced back to the triangle area in right-center and fully
extended himself, making a sprawling catch onto the warning-track dirt.

NESN broadcaster Don Orsillo was in near disbelief, bellowing, "Jacoby
Ellsbury with the catch of the year, back at the 420-mark with full
extension."

Dennis Eckersley, filling in for Jerry Remy as the color commentator that
day, added, "You won't see a better catch all year."

But there would be several more dazzling grabs by Ellsbury before the season
was over.

It was also a strong year for Ellsbury offensively, as he hit .301, scored 94
runs, stole 70 bases and had an on-base percentage of .355.

推 highmimi:啊!!!!!!!! ... 不是守備範圍最差?
推 MinChuan:美技蓋過數據~XD
推 alex710707:所以他守備到底好還是差?
推 spko:Ells的守備真是一大迷團啊....囧
→ spko:如果說數據不能完全信賴，Ells是連三年CF守備評分都是負的
→ spko:而且不管是用UZR還是把範圍可靠度分開計算，結果都很差....
→ spko:偏偏在轉播上看起來，Ells在中外野真的是在滑草的....XDD
→ spko:還是他就是另一個「美技很多 = 範圍很小」的案例？
→ spko:那就更怪了，身為聯盟最快的男人之一，守備範圍卻小....囧
推 whoze:只能說判斷了
推 steed:是中外野的Jeter嗎
推 richjf:因為守備範圍小 才容易出現美技啊.每接一球都高難度的XD
推 Quickspace:問題可能在判斷吧 判斷慢個半秒 range就差很多了
推 albertjet:那小帥哥未來會是波斯頓的party animal嗎?
推 Kej:中外野的Jeter.......... 不知道該 XD 還是 orz ...
→ Belladonaa:08 年 UZR 是高於平均
推 spko:對，但如果把可靠度跟Range分開算，Range是-9.3，總和是-6.7
→ spko:總之就是很謎就是了，速度飛快的小帥哥就靠杯，範圍卻很小.囧
推 steed:林哲瑄的守備有比小帥哥好嗎?
→ Belladonaa:以小聯盟時的評價來看林哲瑄還比不上 Ellsbury
→ Belladonaa:但是考量年紀、臂力，林哲瑄不會輸
推 Ivanliao:我記得去年有討論過防守數據raw data的問題
推 TKWdEmoN:是判斷落點的問題嗎?
推 betadu:Lin的range我記得蠻不錯的吧 只是他的棒子和Ells小聯盟比起
→ betadu:來還輸不少
推 Ivanliao:Lin才幾歲，Ellsbury可是大學球員
