What the Future Holds for Brandon Wood
By Alex Eisenberg
May 5, 2008
We all remember the huge power and the awesome numbers Brandon Wood put up in
2005 at Single-A Rancho Cucamanga where he hit 43 HRs, 51 doubles, and
sported an ISO-power of .351. However, we haven't seen numbers close to that
output since.
咱們都記得當Brandon Wood 2005年被放在小聯盟A級Rancho Cucamanga隊時打出43轟
、51支二壘安打以及IsoP達到.351這樣驚人的數字跟巨大的長打力。然而,我們在此
之前還沒有看看相關的數據。
As Wood has climbed the minor league ladder, some red flags have shown
themselves. The biggest red flag is Wood's propencity to strike out. His K%
in 2005 wasn't all that high at 21.5%, but that number jumped all the way up
to 28.5% in AA, and though he improved in 2007, his K% was still 24.6%.
當Wood逐步提升小聯盟層級時,某些警訊讓我們注意到。最大的一面警示旗是說Wood
有被三振的傾向。他2005年的被三振率不是真的很高的21.5%,但當他到AA級的時候這
項數字大幅跳躍到了28.5%,儘管他在2007年有所改善,被三振率依舊有24.%。
What is the significance of Wood's strikeout problems?
Wood被三振的問題比較顯而易見的地方在哪兒?
By striking out as much as he does, Wood puts a cap on his batting average
and in the process puts a cap on his OBP since Wood doesn't walk enough to
make up for a sub-par batting average. His MLE (Major League Equivalency) for
batting average is around .230.
因為他實在被三振太多了,打率因此受限而不高而且也讓他的上壘率在拿得保送不夠
多的情況下不能跟那近乎平均等級的打率拉開差距。他的大聯盟等級約當打擊率只有
在.230上下。
If Wood hits .230, his OBP still comes out in the .280 - .310 range. If you
bump his average up to .250, his OBP becomes more respectable. If he is able
to hit .270, Wood will have a great deal of value because his OBP will be at
a more than acceptable level. One reason for the high K% is the problems he
has with pitch recognition, which is one of the more difficult things to
improve upon, though it is doable.
假如Wood打率是.230,他的上壘率只能有著.280-.310範圍的表現,假如你把他打率
拉高到.250,他的上壘率就會更能夠讓人接受。假如他能夠打到.270,Wood將因為他
的上壘率好到不得不讓人滿意而能夠拿很棒的合約。他有這樣高的被三振率其中一個
原因是他有球路辨識的問題,這也是一種相當難以改善的問題,雖然也不是沒辦法。
Wood has shown a split against LHP and RHP, but his numbers against RHP have
been good enough to play everyday against them. However, last year was the
first season where his numbers against RHP looked somewhat sketchy; he hit
.255 with a . 775 OPS and struck out in 26.4% of his ABs.
Wood對左投跟右投的成績有差別,而他對右投的成績好到足夠每天上場去對付那些右
投手。然而,去年他第一次對右投的數據顯得有點不太跟以前相同;他打率是.255
OPS則是.775並且被三振掉他26.4%的打數。
The Swing
Were there any warning signs in Wood's swing back in 2005? Not particularly,
but for a power hitter he has always made contact a little too far out in
front where ideally he should be letting the ball travel deeper into his
hitting zone. By letting the ball travel deeper, he gives himself more time
to decide whether to take the pitch or swing.
回到2005年看看是否有啥關於Wood揮棒動作的警訊呢?沒啥特別好說的,但是身為一
個強力打者總是在球距離本壘板還相當遠的時候就揮中球,理想狀況下他應該要讓球
跑得更深入他的擊球區域。藉著將球跟後面一點,他能夠讓自己有更多時間來決定要
放掉或揮擊這球。
On the plus side, Wood has always generated excellent bat speed. His load is
a bit long, but is a major factor in the power he generates. Wood has an
aggressive turn through the ball that brings his arms around with it. His
swing plane is tailored to generate plenty of hard hit fly balls.
正面的看法是,Wood總是表現出超級讚的揮棒速度。他進入準備狀態下將棒頭後縮地
非常多,但這也就是他展現長打力的主要因素。Wood能藉由積極地跟著球而將雙手迎
著來球貼過去。他的揮擊平面乾淨俐落能夠產生大量強勁深遠飛球。
Other Notes
So far we've talked about what Wood does not do well. However, what Wood does
do well is hit for power. In fact, his power is pretty close to plus-plus.
The .351 ISO Wood put up in 2005 likely set unrealistic expectations for Wood
going forward, but the .276 and .225 ISO-powers put up by Wood the past two
years are nothing to sneeze at.
到此我們還沒有討論關於做不太好的部分。然而,Wood真的幹得很好的是他的長打力
。事實上,他的長打力幾乎是頂級的。Wood在2005年打出.351的IsoP幾乎讓Wood給人
不太實際的預期了,但他過去兩年.276跟.225的IsoP可不是讓人能夠不當一回事。
The big question is what position Wood plays at the major league level. Most
scouting reports I've seen indicate Wood is a good fielder at shortstop.
However, it is not certain Wood will be playing at SS for the Angels. If Wood
is able to stay at SS, his value greatly increases as there would be much
less pressure on his bat to carry him at the big league level.
最大的問題是Wood在大聯盟應該要打哪個位置。我看過大多數的球探報告指出Wood是
在游擊區的守備不錯。然而,這不代表Wood將會為天使鎮守游擊大關。假如Wood能夠
常駐游擊,他的價值將會水漲船高減輕他因為揮棒問題而不能上大聯盟的壓力。
Wood is noted for his strong work ethic and is also known to be a good
athlete, which will help him as he continues to tweak his swing.
Nevertheless, whether he can develop better pitch recognition is easily the
biggest question mark Wood faces.
Wood也被提到有強健的工作道德而已知這可以幫他成為一個好運動員,也將會幫助他
改進他的揮棒。不過呢,他是否能發展出更好的球路辨識能力無疑是Wood面對的最大
疑問。
Brandon Wood Going Forward
When you have a new player that strikes out a lot and has problems with pitch
recognition, there is a tendency for things to snowball on that player when
they start slumping. The reasons include a tendency to press, deciding to
swing at a pitch before it is thrown, not feeling confident hitting with two
strikes, and the list goes on. If Wood is able to maintain his confidence and
not worry about striking out, he should be fine.
當你有個新球員被三振超多而且有球路辨識問題,當他們表現開始低迷時現在的趨勢
是把他們丟去打冬聯。理由在於低潮有壓迫他們的傾向,讓他們在球都還沒丟出去的
時候就決定要揮棒,而不是連在兩好球的時候都對於自己的打擊感到自信,以及其他
種種理由。假如Wood能夠保持自信並且不擔心被三振的事情,他應該就會比較好。
Wood will probably not reach the expectations laid out for him after his 2005
season, but there are much worse things to have on your roster than a good
fielding, low average, high power SS. His bat should play at any position,
but his value dramatically increases by staying at SS.
Wood也許不會符合他2005年球季後給人的期待,但比起有好守備、低打率、高長打力
的游擊手,你的球員名單裡還有著更多糟糕人。他的棒棒應該可以讓他打任何位置,
不過待在游擊可以讓他的價值高得吸引人。
