[洋基] The Real Melky Cabrera, Part 2

[leddy (耿秋)]

Tyler Kepner第二篇又來了,

    他問了打擊教練Kevin Long, Melky本季的狀況好何, Long表示他每次打擊都會用自
己的觀察及打出的結果的統計來看打者打得好不好。他表示Melky真的打得強勁，也比較
有耐心可以多看一些球，所以可以有不少不錯的打數。Long表示好的打數，包括了安打、
保送、被觸身，還有打了不少球，以及打得很強勁但出局，都算是好的打數。

    他說Melky好的打數有51%，依他歸類只要一個很好的打者也只會有40%打中棒子的甜
蜜點，所以51%好的打數真得很不錯。當然we still have time去看看倒底Melky到底是
真貨還是假貨。

The Real Melky Cabrera, Part 2
By Tyler Kepner

After Wednesday’s game, I asked on this blog for fans’ opinions on the real
Melky Cabrera. Today I asked one of the best sources of all – the Yankees’
 hitting coach, Kevin Long.

Long admitted that Cabrera can be streaky, but he said he really did seem to
be better this season. Specifically, Long said, he is using his lower half
more effectively and getting better pitches to hit.

“He’s hitting the ball hard and seeing a lot of pitches, taking great
at-bats,” Long said.

Long said he based that on both personal observation and statistics not
quantified in box scores. After every game, Long evaluates each at-bat, like
a hitting-coach version of Roger Ebert: thumbs up or thumbs down.

Cabrera, he said, has had 61 percent “good at-bats” this season, the
highest percentage of any player on the Yankees. To Long, a good at-bat is
defined as any hit, walk or hit-by-pitch, or any at-bat that consumes a lot
of pitches or ends in an especially hard-hit ball.

As for those hard-hit balls, Long keeps track of those, too. He said Cabrera
has hit the ball hard in 51 percent of his at-bats, also tops on the team.
Fifty-one percent is an extremely high figure, he said. By Long’s
calculations, a very good hitter will hit the ball on the sweet spot only
about 40 percent of the time.

So is Cabrera for real? Only time will tell, but it’s pretty clear that for
now, he could not be doing much better.
