※ 引述《WillWaiting (Creep)》之銘言：無聊簡單翻 : http://tinyurl.com/hyyhpxm : DEVELOPING WEI-CHUNG WANG : BY KYLE LESNIEWSKI APRIL 29, 2016 : Wei-Chung Wang isn’t a prospect in the typical sense – he’s already : accrued a year of major league service time after the Milwaukee Brewers : chose him in the 2013 Rule 5 Draft. At this point, however, he’s probably : more well-remembered by the casual fan for his contributions on the dance : floor than his contributions on the mound for the 2014 Brewers: : 17.1 IP, 10.90 ERA, 10.61 DRA, and -1.3 WARP. 王維中並不是一個典型的期待新秀--在2013年的規則五選秀後，他已經有一年的大聯盟資歷了。但現在一般粉絲對他在跳舞上表現似乎比在投手丘上的表現還要更印象深刻。 : The Brewers selected Wang from the Pirates rookie league affiliate knowing : that he’d be a project, though. Despite his poor showing in the : big leagues the Taiwanese lefty showed enough during his minor league : rehab assignment (26.1 IP, 2.39 ERA, 22:4 K/BB) and an Arizona Fall League : stint (23.0 IP, 2.74 ERA, 12:2 K/BB) that Baseball America considered him : a top-10 prospect for Milwaukee entering the 2015 season. After a year in : The Show, Wei-Chung was assigned to high-A Brevard County to continue his : minor league development as a starter. 酒鬼從海盜小聯盟把王當成期待新秀挑來。雖然大聯盟表現不如預期，但是台灣豪情左腕在復健賽和秋季聯盟的絕佳表現讓Baseball America在2015年的球探報告把他列入酒鬼的10大期待新秀。隨後王被指派到高A球隊繼續以先發投手的身份在小聯盟磨練。 : The Florida State League is considered a pitching paradise thanks to : the run-suppressing humidity and cavernous ballparks, but it certainly : didn’t seem that way for Wang at first. Through his first 12 starts : in Brevard County Wang was only able to manage a 5.93 ERA and saw a : significant uptick in his walk rate (8.3 percent) and WHIP (1.66). : I had an opportunity to speak with him around that time and Wang : attributed his struggles to focusing too heavily on throwing his : curveball, causing him to lose feel with his fastball and have : trouble locating. 佛羅里達聯盟是個投手聯盟，但王好像沒有因此受惠。在一開始的12次先發中，王只繳出了ERA5.93，保送率8.3％，WHIP1.66的成績。在一次和他的訪談中，他告訴我說：『我太想投好曲球了，搞的我連速球都投不好，控球也走掉了。』 : The Brewers were obviously concerned with the struggles as well, and : on June 16th, 2015, they designated Wang for assignment to clear room on : the 40 man roster for Matt Dominguez. That lead Tom Haudricourt of the : Journal Sentinel to pen an article entitled “The Brewers Had High Hopes : for Wei-Chung Wang,” which felt like a postmortem of sorts of the young : lefty’s career. On the other hand, Craig Counsell said at the time “I : don’t think you’re giving up on Wei-Chung Wang. He still has a chance : to be a major league pitcher.” 酒人的好高高層也發現了王的狀況，所以在6/14,2015把他移出40人名單。某位當地記者還因此發了一篇文『我酒規則五選王錯了嗎？』來鞭屍。然而也有人認為王還是有機會成為大聯盟投手，不要放棄好嗎。 : Thanks in part to a high salary for a low-level minor leaguer (it’s : stipulated that the salary of a player on the 40 man roster cannot be cut : by more than 20% from the previous year, meaning Wang was making in excess : of $300,000), Wei-Chung wound up clearing waivers and was outrighted off : the 40 man roster. He was ultimately able to stay in the Milwaukee : organization. Looking back, that may have been exactly the wake up call : that the 23 year old needed. 因為大聯盟薪水規定，王雖然在高A，但是因為在40人名單，一年還可以領超過 300K鎂，所以放在讓渡名單也不會有人撿，王就順利地被移出40人名單，繼續留在酒鬼的農場。對於一個23歲就在大聯盟的小子來說，這或許是一個適時的當頭棒喝。 : Wang finished the season with a flourish, posting a 1.59 ERA in his final : 14 starts of 2015, covering 85.0 innings. He slashed his walk rate nearly : in half to just 4.7 percent while posting a 51:16 K/BB ratio and tossing : three complete games. Wang’s game is more about controlling contact than : it is overpowering batters, and he was masterful during the final three : months of the season in allowing just a .224 batting average against : and two measly home runs. 王在2015年球季的最後14場先發的85局中繳出鬼神的ERA1.59，保送率打對折只有 4.7％，K/BB是51：16，還有3場完投。王的投球就是用控球投給你打而不是強力壓制，他最後3個月讓對手打擊率只有.224，且只被打出2之全壘打。 : So far that success has carried over to the AA level in 2016. Wang has : been a major part of a standout starting rotation for the 15-5 Biloxi : Shuckers. In four starts and 22.0 innings, Wei-Chung has posted a 3.27 : ERA and 18:8 K/BB rate while allowing opponents to hit just .210 off : him. 如此成功的球季讓他在2016升上AA，他也在AA的先發輪值上扮演要角，4場先發22局 3.27的ERA，K/BB18：8，對手打擊率只有.210。 : Earlier this season our own Travis Sarandos noted that it has been nearly : three full years since a left-handed pitcher has started a game for the : Milwaukee Brewers. While Josh Hader has been receiving most of the : attention (and deservedly so) for his excellent work with the Shuckers, : we shouldn’t make the mistake of overlooking Wei-Chung Wang, who has : been hard at work over the past nine months trying to re-establish himself : within the organization. Wang’s arsenal still features a starter’s : three-pitch mix with a low-90s fastball, big-breaking curve, and a : deceptive changeup. Now 24, he’s experiencing the kind of success : the organization surely envisioned when they brought him into the : fold and he still looks the part of a future mid-rotation starter. 在酒鬼系統下幾乎已經三年，內部人士認為我們不該忽視他這些年來的努力，且他最近九個月來一直努力想要贏回他在整個酒鬼體系的地位。王還是有先發該有的三樣主戰球種：90出頭英里的速球、玉山大曲、有引誘性的變速。現在24歲了，他應該也能感覺到自己在球團規劃的未來藍圖中，能夠成為輪值中的3、4號投手。 : With questions surrounding Hader’s physical ability to handle : a starter’s workload and his issues working past the fourth or : fifth inning this season, it may very well be that Wei-Chung Wang : has the best chance to become the next lefty fixture in the Brewers’ : starting rotation. Only time will tell, but there looks to still : be a good chance to get some excellent value from a prospect whose : future was in jeopardy just a short time ago. 在另一位新秀Hader好像無法勝任先發投手的工作量以及4、5局病的狀況下，王似乎是酒鬼農場左投的答案。不過時間還早，畢竟王之前也有一段掙扎期，也期待他能成長更多。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.128.165.251 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB-TW/M.1468370740.A.05C.html
