Yankees’ first Asian amateur signing in 12 years signals new international push 洋基12年來首位亞洲業餘球員簽約　象徵國際布局新方向 https://reurl.cc/R2xo56 When the New York Yankees announced the signing of Taiwanese pitcher Chien-Fan L ai on Tuesday, it marked the end of a drought for the franchise, which hadn’t s igned an amateur free agent out of Asia in 12 years. 當紐約洋基隊於週二宣布簽下台灣投手賴謙凡時，也正式結束了球團長達12年未曾簽下亞洲業餘自由球員的紀錄 Mario Garza, the team’s new international scouting director, believes it won’t take nearly as long for the next one. 洋基新任國際球探總監Mario Garza相信，下一位亞洲業餘球員的加盟不會再讓球團等待這麼久 “On a bigger scale,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday, “this exemplifies what we’re trying to do internationally. We’re trying to broaden our footprint . We want to make Asia a priority. We believe in the talent in Asia, and it’s g oing to be hopefully the first of many signings out of Taiwan, South Korea, Japa n and all of Asia.” 他在週二接受電話訪問時表示：「從更大的層面來看，這次簽約正體現了我們在國際市場上的策略，我們希望擴大球探版圖，把亞洲列為優先發展區域，我們相信亞洲的棒球人才，而這筆簽約希望只是未來眾多來自台灣、韓國、日本以及整個亞洲地區簽約案的第一步」 South Korean infielder Hoy Jun Park had been the Yankees’ last Asian internatio nal signing, all the way back in July 2014. Park’s most notable contribution to the franchise came when he was part of a trade that landed then-reliever Clay H olmes in pinstripes in 2021. 洋基上一位來自亞洲的國際業餘簽約球員，是韓國內野手朴孝俊，時間要追溯到2014年7月，朴孝俊對洋基最具代表性的貢獻，則是在2021年被交易出去，成為換來後來主力牛棚投手 Clay Holmes的籌碼 https://i.imgur.com/0nd8i0F.jpeg

The Yankees and Lai agreed to a $872,000 signing bonus plus a college tuition st ipend, a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymit y because he wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss finances, told The Athletic. 根據一位知情人士向《The Athletic》透露，洋基與賴謙凡達成協議，簽約金為87萬2,000 美元，另外還包含大學學費補助，不過由於未獲授權公開談論財務細節，因此該人士要求匿名 Garza said the “groundwork” in attracting talent in Asia “starts years in adv ance.” Garza took over as the Yankees’ international scouting director in Janu ary after the organization didn’t renew the contract of longtime international scouting leader Donny Rowland in October. Garza表示要吸引亞洲人才加盟，相關的「基礎工程」往往需要提前數年展開，他是在今年1 月接任洋基國際球探總監一職，此前球團於去年10月未與長期負責國際球探事務的Donny Ro wland續約 “As we’re looking at these guys in high school and developing relationships an d scouting them and getting to know who they are,” Garza said, “and getting to know their family and their background, obviously we would like to sign them as amateurs. But if we don’t get to them as amateurs, hopefully that work we put in will lead to relationships in the future.” Garza表示：「當我們從高中階段開始觀察這些球員，建立關係、進行球探評估、了解他們本人，以及他們的家庭與背景時，當然希望能在業餘階段就簽下他們，但即使沒能成功，我們前期投入的努力，也希望能在未來建立起持續的合作關係」 The Yankees have officially signed RHP Chien-Fan Lai out of Taiwan, an 18-year-o ld whose fastball tops out at 96 MPH. 洋基已正式簽下來自台灣的18歲右投賴謙凡，他的最快球速可達96英里 Matt Slater, a longtime baseball executive who recently took over the Yankees’ newly created role of global player acquisitions supervisor and who has worked e xtensively in Asia, was an integral part of signing Lai, Garza said. Garza also credited scout Peng Pu Lee for keeping tabs on Lai and the Yankees’ scouting an d player development departments for weighing in on him. Garza表示，最近接任洋基新設職位「全球球員招募主管」的資深棒球行政人員Matt Slater ，在賴謙凡的簽約過程中扮演了關鍵角色，Slater過去在亞洲市場擁有豐富經驗，此外Garz a也感謝球探Peng Pu Lee長期追蹤賴謙凡，以及洋基球探與球員發展部門提供專業評估意見 “The Yankees are continually scouting all areas of the world for talented playe rs who can impact and bring value to our organization,” Slater said in a news r elease. “Chien-Fan has intriguing upside with the ability to develop into a suc cessful major-league pitcher.”’ Slater在新聞稿中表示：「洋基持續在全球各地尋找能為球隊帶來價值與影響力的優秀球員，賴謙凡擁有令人期待的發展潛力，具備成長為成功大聯盟投手的能力」 The Yankees have high hopes for Lai, an 18-year-old righty whose “heavy” fastb all has touched 95 mph and whose hallmarks are his “pitchability” and his “se condary upside,” according to Garza. 根據Garza的說法，洋基對這位18歲右投寄予厚望，他擁有具壓制力的「重尾勁」速球，最快可達95英里，而他的最大特色則是成熟的投球能力以及優秀的變化球發展潛力 “We think there’s upside in the body,” he said. “We really like the makeup. He has a starter’s profile, and that’s what attracted us to him. The more we g ot to know him, the more we saw him pitch, we’ve seen him compete, we’ve seen him get through tough spots. We’ve seen him have really good outings. Really ju st kind of grew on us.” 「我們認為他的身體條件還有進一步成長空間，我們非常欣賞他的個性與心態，他具備先發投手的條件，這也是最吸引我們的地方，隨著我們越來越了解他、看他投球與比賽，我們看到他在場上的競爭力，也看過他如何克服困境，並投出許多精彩表現，可以說我們對他的評價是一步步提高的」 The scout added that Lai pitches with an “edge” and that he already speaks a f air amount of English. Lai represented Taiwan at the 2025 U-18 Baseball World Cu p, helping his club win a bronze medal. He appeared in three games, striking out 14 batters over seven innings of relief. He’s expected to start at the Yankees ’ academy in the Dominican Republic. Garza補充賴謙凡投球時帶有一股強烈的競爭心與侵略性，而且已經具備不錯的英語能力，賴謙凡曾代表台灣參加2025年U-18世界盃棒球賽，協助球隊奪下銅牌，他在該屆賽事出賽3 場，後援7局送出14次三振，未來預計將先前往洋基位於多明尼加的訓練基地展開職業生涯 Lai is the third amateur free agent in Yankees history out of Taiwan, joining pi tcher Chien-Ming Wang (2000) and infielder Fu-Lin Kuo (2009). Twenty-one players from Asia have appeared in the majors in 2026, including 14 from Japan, five fr om South Korea and two from Taiwan, according to Baseball Almanac. 賴謙凡是洋基隊史第三位來自台灣的業餘自由球員，前兩位分別是2000年加盟的投手王建民與2009年加盟的內野手郭阜林，根據《Baseball Almanac》統計，2026年共有21名亞洲球員登上大聯盟，其中14人來自日本、5人來自韓國、2人來自台灣 “We think he has a chance to move quickly” through the Yankees’ farm system, Garza said. “He’s going to move to the Dominican Republic and hopefully we wil l see him in the U.S. soon. I’m excited to watch him pitch. Getting our hands o n him, player development-wise — I think we’re going to do some good work with him.” 「我們認為他有機會快速通過洋基農場體系的各個層級，他即將前往多明尼加，希望很快就能在美國看到他的身影，我很期待看他投球，等到球員發展部門正式接手培養後，我相信我們能夠幫助他取得非常好的進步」 https://i.imgur.com/0xOlavt.jpeg
