No, you're not imagining it -- pitchers are throwing faster than ever this season 不，這不是你的幻覺──本賽季投手的球速比以往任何時候都要快。 July 15th, 2026 Paul Casella https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pitchers-throwing-faster-than-ever-in-2026 PHILADELPHIA -- If you want to know just how much harder pitchers are throwing than even a decade ago, just ask some of this generation’s best hitters. 費城──如果你想知道現在的投手投球有多用力、球速比十年前快了多少，只要去問問這世代最頂尖的幾位打者就知道了。 “We talk about this in the clubhouse all the time, just how much velo has changed,” three-time MVP Mike Trout said earlier this week at the All-Star Game. “For me, when I first came up, it was probably around 90-91 [mph] for starters, and now I think the average is like 95. And you’re just seeing a lot more guys throw 100, 100-plus.” 「我們在休息室裡總是聊到這件事，球速真的變了太多，」三屆最有價值球員 Mike Trout 本週稍早在明星賽上說道。「對我來說，當我剛上大聯盟時，先發投手的球速大約在 90 到 91 英里，但現在我認為平均球速大概有 95 英里。而且你會看到越來越多傢伙能投到 100 英里，甚至 100 英里以上。」 The numbers back it up. 數據也證實了這一點。 In Trout's 2012 rookie season, the average four-seam fastball thrown by a starting pitcher was 91.8 mph. This season, it’s 94.6 mph. That’s the highest it’s been at any point in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008), and that number has steadily increased each year since 2018. 在 Trout 2012 年的新人賽季中，先發投手投出的平均四縫線快速球時速為 91.8 英里。而在本賽季，這個數字達到了 94.6 英里。這是自投球追蹤時代（2008 年以來）的最高紀錄，且自 2018 年起，該數據每年都在穩定成長。 Is it as obvious in the batter’s box as it seems on paper? 在打擊區裡感受到的變化，真的有如數據上顯示的那麼明顯嗎？ “One-hundred percent, you notice it,” said Braves first baseman Matt Olson, who debuted in 2016. “When I first came up, a guy who got called up to make a start was more of a pitchability kind of guy -- you know, 88-91 [mph]. … Now, it feels like even the callups are 98 [mph]. It's been a big difference. ” 「百分之百，你絕對會注意到，」2016 年登上大聯盟的勇士隊一壘手 Matt Olson 說。「當我剛上大聯盟時，那些被拉上來負責先發的傢伙，大多是控球技巧型的投手──大約在 88 到 91 英里。……但現在，感覺連剛被拉上來的投手都能投到 98 英里。這真的有很大的差別。」 Of course, any conversation about velocity has to start with Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski. The two-time All-Star has already shattered every velocity record for starting pitchers in the pitch-tracking era, and he seems to only be getting better -- and throwing harder. 當然，任何關於球速的討論都必須從釀酒人隊的超級新秀 Jacob Misiorowski 開始聊起。這位曾兩度入選明星賽的先發投手，已經打破了投球追蹤時代以來先發投手的所有球速紀錄，而且他似乎還在不斷進步──球速投得越來越快。 Misiorowski’s four-seamer is averaging 100.5 mph this season. Factor in the extension Misiorowski has as he gets down the mound, and the perceived velocity to hitters is even faster than that. Misiorowski 本賽季的四縫線快速球平均時速高達 100.5 英里。若再算上他投球跨步下投手丘時極佳的延伸距離（extension），打者所感受到的體感球速（perceived velocity）甚至比這個數字還要快。 Misiorowski’s final two pitches in a complete-game shutout against the Phillies last month clocked in at 103.4 mph and 103.1 mph. 上個月在對陣費城人隊的完投完封勝中，Misiorowski 的最後兩顆投球時速分別達到了 103.4 英里與 103.1 英里。 “It’s a lot of work from people behind me and in the training room and the weight room and all that,” Misiorowski said. “They’ve all helped a lot.” 「這背後凝聚了我身後的團隊、防護室、重量訓練室等所有工作人員的努力，」 Misiorowski 說。「他們真的幫了很大的忙。」 It used to be only relievers -- and maybe a starter or two -- who would hit triple digits with any regularity. Now, hitters are seeing it from the very first pitch of the night, and sometimes, all the way through the entire game. 過去通常只有後援投手──頂多再加一兩位先發投手──能夠規律地投出達三位數（100 英里）的球速。但現在，打者從晚上的第一顆球開始就會面臨這種球速，有時甚至貫穿了整場比賽。 Entering this season, the most 100-plus mph pitches thrown by starting pitchers in a single season was 726 last year. In the first half alone, there were already 1,018 such pitches this season. And yes, a big part of that is Misiorowski's 670 -- but he's just one of 22 starting pitchers who have hit 100 mph this season. 在本賽季開始前，單一賽季由先發投手投出最多 100 英里以上火球的紀錄是去年的 726 顆。然而光是今年上半季，就已經出現了 1,018 顆這樣的火球。沒錯，這之中很大一部分要歸功於 Misiorowski 貢獻的 670 顆，但他僅僅是本賽季投出過 100 英里球速的 22 位先發投手之一。 Beyond that, 14 starters have thrown at least five triple-digit fastballs this season. Back in 2015, only five guys did that all season. 除此之外，本賽季有 14 位先發投手投出了至少 5 顆達三位數英里的快速球。而在 2015 年，一整季下來僅有 5 個人能達成這項數據。 “What do we have, like 0.05 seconds to make a decision?” said 10-time All-Star Freddie Freeman, who made his MLB debut in 2010. “And now, these guys are making it be 0.03 seconds. It’s very, very hard. That's why you see us look very funny in the box sometimes.” 「我們能有多少時間？大概只有 0.05 秒能做決定吧？」在 2010 年登上大聯盟的 10 屆明星賽球員 Freddie Freeman 說。「而現在，這些傢伙逼得你只剩下 0.03 秒。這真的非常、非常困難。這就是為什麼你有時會看到我們在打擊區裡的樣子看起來很滑稽。」 But even the younger guys never thought they’d be facing pitches this fast … did they? 不過，就算是年輕一輩的球員，也未曾想過自己會面臨這麼快的投球……對吧？ “No way,” said 25-year-old Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams. “But when I was growing up, it was like 100 [mph] is kinda crazy. Now it’s just going up and up, and it seems like everyone is throwing 100.” 「絕不可能，」國民隊 25 歲的游擊手 CJ Abrams 表示。「在我小時候，投到 100 英里是一件很瘋狂的事。現在球速卻一直在往上升，感覺好像每個人都在投 100 英里一樣。」 Added Trout: “No, no, no. … Right now, 95 is the norm. It’s such a big difference, especially when some of these guys are throwing 95 mph sliders to go with it.” Trout 補充道：「不、不、不。……現在 95 英里只是基本款。這差別實在太大了，特別是有些傢伙竟然還能搭配 95 英里的滑球。」 But what about the pitchers? These guys have spent their whole lives trying to increase those numbers on the radar guns, but some of these numbers they’ re hitting now had to seem unattainable as they were chasing their big league dreams. 但是投手們自己怎麼看呢？這些傢伙一生都在努力提升測速槍上的數字，但當他們在追逐大聯盟夢想時，他們現在所投出的部分數字，在過去看來簡直是遙不可及的。 “I think I got to 85 and I was like, ‘I don’t know what else is really in there for me,’” said Padres shutdown closer Mason Miller, whose average fastball this season is 101.3 mph. “So I’ve been extremely fortunate to have everything happen the way it has.” 「我記得當我投到 85 英里時，我的想法是：『我不知道自己還能進步到哪裡去。』」教士隊的終極守護神 Mason Miller 說，他本賽季的平均快速球速為 101.3 英里。「所以我非常幸運，這一切竟然能發展得如此順利。」 So, where do we go from here? 那麼，未來球速還會發展到什麼地步？ The fastest pitch in the tracking era is a 105.8 mph fastball by Aroldis Chapman on Sept. 24, 2010. Misiorowski's fastest is 105.5 mph -- and he said he slipped on that pitch, adding: “I think I've got a little more.” 在投球追蹤時代最快的一球，是 Aroldis Chapman 在 2010 年 9 月 24 日投出的 105.8 英里快速球。而 Misiorowski 投過最快的一球則是 105.5 英里──且他說自己那一球還有些微踩空，並補充道：「我想我還能投得更快一點。」 “I don't like facing it. I'm glad I'm almost done and I’m near the end,” Freeman said. “Because who knows how many Jacob Misiorowskis are going to be in the league in about 10 years? But hey, it's fun to watch.” 「我不喜歡面對這種球。我很慶幸自己快要退休、已經接近職業生涯尾聲了，」Freeman 笑著說。「因為天曉得大約 10 年後，這個聯盟裡會出現多少個 Jacob Misiorowski 呢？不過嘿，這確實很有看頭。」 --Paul Casella is a reporter/editor for MLB.com based in Philadelphia. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 49.217.241.162 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Baseball/M.1784172030.A.55D.html ※ 編輯: Yjizz (49.217.241.162 臺灣), 07/16/2026 11:27:04
