7月最佳球員&傷兵報導

1
對正規球季的小聯盟來說,7月代表的是下半季的開始。在球季進行了3個月後,球團已經有足夠的數據樣本空間來重新檢視季初的分發,看看是否有調整層級的必要,因此球員的異動比較多,難免有幾家歡樂幾家愁的局面。上半季表表現出色的投打雙陳:陳鴻文、陳俊秀分別升上AAA及高階1A,6月才開始球季的邱子愷則是靠著超低的自責分率也在月底升上低階1A。然而王躍霖及羅國輝因為表現不理想被降回新人及高階1A。壞消息還不只於此,在大聯盟門口的胡金龍及倪福德也在這個月進入了傷兵名單。現在就讓我們來看看各球員7月的投打表現:

Weekly Report 08.16 - 08.22

1Offensive Player of the Week:
Chun-Hsiu Chen. Chen with .444 for the week with two doubles and a home run. One of the interesting things about Chen's offensive breakthrough this season is his continually improving plate discipline. In low-A he walked 17 times in 240 plate appearances while in high-A he's walked 29 times in 169 plate appearances. Recent scouting reports have also cited his average defense indicating that he will stay at catcher.

Pitcher of the Week:
Chen-Chang Lee. Lee yielded no runs, one hit, and struck out three this week. Lee has had an excellent season although one reason he may not have been promoted this year is because the Indians have several prospects at AA and AAA who have similar statistics as Lee. Nevertheless, given the Indian's poor pitching overall it's probably just a matter of time until Lee gets a major league callup.

台灣農場週報08.15 - 08.22

1單週最佳野手:陳俊秀出賽7場就撿了8個保送,一場比賽常常只剩下2、3個打數,其中有2場比賽只有一打數,難能可貴的是在這種情況下本週除了最後1場,他還可以場場安打,其中包含2支二壘安打跟一支全壘打,因此不光是上壘率,長打率也非常出色,攻擊指數高達1.338。

單週最佳投手:李振昌幾乎是複製了上週的3局無失分3三振成績,差別只在被打了1支安打。因此連續2週都是小聯盟裡面最穩定的台灣投手。

內野、外野、一壘指導員-陳鏞基(下)

1不過是4年前,鏞基的棒球生涯來到顛峰。他在2006這年升上高階1A跟AA,並在季中入選了加州聯盟(California League)的明星隊跟未來之星賽。在國際賽的場上,鏞基用全壘打為國家隊立下汗馬功勞,不但在經典賽跟洲際杯都擊出滿貫全壘打,並且在杜哈亞運用單場雙響砲擊退韓國隊。「陳鏞基」這3個字,從此成為國人眼中的新英雄,1個韓國人聽到就怕的名字。

只是,一個滑壘,改變了他的職業生涯。

『前幾年滑壘因為手撐到地板受傷,現在滑壘手都舉得高高的,結果這樣也被野手的傳球打到,真是有夠倒楣的』鏞基說。

林哲瑄連續3年獲選最佳防守外野手

1在今年Baseball America公布的小聯盟最佳能力(Best Tools)名單,林哲瑄獲選為東部聯盟(Eastern League)最佳防守外野手(Best Defensive Outfielder)。

8/17/2010

台灣農場週報08.09 - 08.15

1單週最佳野手:潘志芳在上週只有一天休息,除了星期一以外連續5場擊出2支以上的安打,每場都有踏到本壘板的紀錄,打擊率因此突破3成,棒子可以說是熱得發燙,如果在季末被升上短期A觀光,一點也不令人意外。

單週最佳投手:李振昌還是維持了七月以來的好表現,將連續出場無責失的紀錄繼續向前推進。本週他出場2次,3局的投球不但無失分,連1支安打也沒有,還祭出3張老K,完全看不出是傷癒復出的人。

Weekly Report 08.02 - 08.08

1Offensive Player of the Week:
Che-Hsuan Lin. Lin hit a robust .435 as well as displaying his patient eye by taking 6 walks. He's now hiting .279 on the season with an outstanding .388 OBP. His lack of power is still somewhat troubling since he has only 2 HRs this season but power is often the last tool to develop and Lin is still young at 21. Scouting reports still rate his CF defense as top notch. He's still on track for a late 2011 or 2012 call up in Boston and if his power develops he can become a dynamic player.

Pitcher of the Week:
Sheng-An Kuo: Kuo has rebounded strongly from a poor June where he posted a 10.38 ERA. His ERA in his past 10 outings stands at 1.93. Aside from his awful June, Kuo has adapted well in his first year in the bullpen. If he can keep up this kind of performance at the higher levels next year he still may have an outside shot at cracking a major league roster.


8/13/2010

台灣農場週報08.02 - 08.08

1單週最佳野手:林哲瑄的打擊本週除了敲出10支安打,還在剩餘的打席撿了6次保送,單週上壘率超過5成,本季累積打擊率因此突破2成7,是本週最火熱的野手。

單週最佳投手:王梓安本季可以說是漸入佳境,從開季第一個月雙位數的防禦率到本週2次出場,2.2局無分失分的好表現。在比賽後半上場的他,也在本週拿下職業生涯第一次的救援成功。

旅美11將入選45人名單

1今年底洲際杯成棒賽以及廣州亞運的中華隊45人名單於今日公布。旅美選手共有11人入選,如果連季初釋出的郭嚴文及陳金鋒也算進去,喝過小聯盟墨水的一共有13人,其中倪福德、羅嘉仁、李振昌及胡金龍目前還躺在傷兵名單。以下是選手名單(紅色為旅美球員,藍色為前旅美球員):

持續進步的林哲瑄

1去年哲瑄的在高階一A的年終打擊成績,受到季初因觸身球休息所引發的低潮影響,整體看來不是很理想。或許是球團肯定他在後面4個月的穩定表現,哲瑄今年開季升上AA。剛開始的6場比賽,他可以說是火力全開,但之後發現不適應AA投手的配球模式,出現了小低潮,打擊率一度掉到2成以下。在跟打擊教練討論研究,以及練習後,哲瑄的打擊率從五月中至今都是很穩定的維持在2成5~2成7之間。

冠軍的代價...

1暌違了27年,中華隊拿下IBAF世界青棒冠軍。在賽前不被看好,也沒有台灣媒體到現場採訪的情況下,中華隊的〝意外〞奪冠,被形容是「久旱甘霖」、「國球又見新希望」。連冠軍成員回到家裡,都有媒體到現場採訪,這種陣丈,大概只有當年王建民回國的時候才會看到。

8/07/2010

Weekly Report 07.26 - 08.01

1Offensive Player of the Week:

Chun-Hsiu Chen hit for .444 for the week. After a hot start to the season he's cooled off a bit, but he earned a promotion to high-A a couple weeks ago and has high average and decent power throughout the season. It should be noted his path to the majors might be blocked by Carlos Santana. If Chen is forced to move to 1B or 3B, his bat may not be enough to allow him to make the majors.

Pitcher of the Week:

It was a poor week for pitchers overall. Chen-Chang Lee gave up no earned runs, but he walked 2 in 3 innings of work. Week to week evaluations of pitchers are often tough since they make very few appearances. One bad outing can make a whole week seem terrible while one good start can mask deficiencies from previous weeks. It's a matter of sample size and this week pitchers had a dose of bad luck.

二壘安打製造機-蔣智賢

1每天看智賢的打擊成績,印象最深就是一支接一支的二壘安打頻頻冒出來,本季截至目前已經有27支了,追平了他職業生涯單季最多二壘安打紀錄,在Eastern League甚至可以排進前10名,隊上也只有第四棒捕手Luis Exposito比他多一支,不過別忘了智賢都是打八九棒,所以打數也比其他人少很多。

8/01/2010

Weekly Report 07.19 - 07.25

1Pitcher of the Week:

Chen-Chang Lee had another good week with 3 SO in 3 IP of work. That this was actually below his average strikeout rate shows the kind of dominating season he's having so far.

Offensive Player of the Week:

Chih-Hsien Chiang hit .391 this week to boost his season average up to .244. However, .244 is still pretty dismal combined his below average plate discipline and power. He'll need to keep up the high batting average in order to earn a promotion next year.
