Sun Life Stadium - the Strikeout King
by craig on Aug 4, 2010 10:02 AM EDT in News
If you have a desire to see strikeouts, Sun Life Stadium is the place for
you. And no, it is not just because the Marlins play there, it is because
stadium conditions, for whatever reasons, favors strikeouts.
如果你享受看到三振的快感,那Sun Life Stadium會是適合你的地方。但是三振會這麼
多並不只因為馬大魚是這裡的主場球隊,而是這座球場因為某些不知名的原因,會造成
三振的增加。
Jeff Sullivan did the work.
Jeff Sullivan做的一些研究中就有提到此現象。(註)
4. 11%
Everybody, I think, has at least some cursory understanding of park factors,
and what they mean. We have pre-humidor Coors Field to thank for this. Coors
Field was a launching pad, and people started to take the statistics with a
grain of salt, because the ballpark was causing way more home runs and way
more offense.
我想每個人應該或多或少有聽過球場因素,並且有粗略的認識吧!我們就是因為球場因素
而把以前的Coors Field認為是打者天堂。而人們在看待這座球場的數據時也會有所保留
,也是因為球場會使全壘打增加及進攻上更有利。
And if Coors Field can have an effect on the play of the game, then it
follows that other stadiums can have an effect, too. Not necessarily to the
same degree, as Coors Field was and remains fairly extreme, but there are
shades of gray. There can be big park factors and there can be little park
factors.
而如果Coors Field有影響一場比賽的能力,其它座球場當然也會有。當然不一定會像
Coors Field一樣那麼極端,但仍然是或多或少會有,只不過是影響大或影響小的差別
罷了。
What people might not know, however, is that ballparks don't only affect
things like doubles and home runs. It turns out that ballparks can have an
effect on pretty much anything and everything. And it's with that in mind
that I'd like to talk about Florida's Sun Life Stadium. Because it turns out
that Florida's Sun Life Stadium has a dramatic effect on strikeouts.
無論如何,一般大眾所不知道的是,球場所影響的,不只是二壘打或全壘打之間的差別
而已,而是到任何所有可能的數據,而這就是我要談的馬大魚主場Sun Life Stadium。
因為在Sun Life Stadium,影響最大的數據是在三振上。
How much of an effect? According to work done by Matthew Carruth and as shown
on StatCorner.com, Sun Life Stadium increases strikeouts by about 11% - 11%
for right-handed hitters, and 12% for left-handed hitters. Both of those
rates are the highest in baseball, ranking ahead of Seattle's Safeco Field,
San Diego's Petco Park, and Toronto's Rogers Centre (all of which also
provide significant boosts).
那影響有多強呢?根據StatCorner.com的Matthew Carruth所做的調查,在Sun Life
Stadium的三振數比起平均高了大約11%----右打者多了11%,左打者多了12%。而這增加
的數字也是棒球史上最高的,比起也是投手球場的Safeco Field、Petco Park、Rogers
Centre還要在更高。
It's a difficult park factor to explain, but just because we don't quite
understand why it exists doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It very clearly does
exist, and it's very clearly rather significant. Just look at the splits so
far this season. The average hitter in the Majors strikes out 17.5% of the
time at home and 18.8% of the time on the road. Marlin hitters, though, have
struck out 22.3% of the time at home and 19.0% of the time on the road, while
their pitchers have generated 21.4% strikeouts at home and 16.2% strikeouts
on the road.
雖然很難去解釋這項球場因素,但這只是因為我們不知道為什麼會有這個球場因素但不
代表這項球場因素不存在(好拗口= =...)。數據顯示球場因素很明顯的存在,而且也有
很明顯的影響。只看到目前為止的數據,在大聯盟的打者中,主場球員被K%是17.5%,
客場是18.8%。但馬大魚的打者在主場被K%是22.3%、客場19.0%;而投手的K%在主場是
21.4%,然而在客場卻只有16.2%。
The splits are dramatic, and they make you look at players on the Marlins a
little differently. Perhaps nobody has felt the effect to a greater degree
than young ace Josh Johnson, who has a career K/BB of 3.1 at home but 2.2
when away. Florida isn't an extreme park when it comes to run-scoring, but it
is an extreme park with certain components, and those components are
important.
這個數據的差別非常之大,讓你在看某些球員的表現似乎有點差別。其中或許沒有人受
影響的程度比得上馬大魚年輕王牌Josh Johnson。Josh Johnson生涯主場K/BB 3.1,但
在客場只有2.2。馬大魚主場或許對於得分上沒有極端的影響,但卻會在某些特定數據有
明確、且重要的影響。
Some park effects are widely familiar, but others, like this one, are both
fascinating and relatively unexplored. When evaluating a certain player or
comparing him to someone else, just remember that you must always always
always take ballpark environment into account. Ballparks do things. They do
some weird things.
有些球場的影響我們大家都很熟悉,但是這個球場因素不只是很有趣,而且大家還沒什
麼去探討。當在評估或比較球員時,你必須要非常非常非常注意球場環境對它的成績所
造成的影響。球場不是只會呆呆座落在那裏,有時候,球場會有奇異的影響呢!
So the Marlins hitters strikeout significantly higher at home than the major
league average but when on the road the rate drops to the major league
average. Whereas the pitchers are above average in strikeouts at home but
fall below it on the road. When something like this happens it is known as a
ballpark effect. For example, some parks are easier to hit home runs in,
while others prove to be more difficult. In this case, Sun Life Stadium is
where the strike outs flow freely.
所以馬大魚打者在主場時被三振比率遠高於聯盟平均,而到了客場時又回到平均;相對地
投手三振數在主場時高於聯盟平均,但到了客場時又會到聯盟平均。當有類似的情況發生
時我們通常稱呼它為球場因素。舉例來說,某些球場特別容易擊出全壘打,但某些球場卻
很困難。在這種情況下,Sun Life Stadium就會被認為是三振容易的球場了。
Any guesses as to why this takes place? Is it a bad hitting back drop? The
low football lights in the stadium? Is it so hot and humid that is hard to
bat when sweat is burning your eyes?
Sun Life Stadium has many peculiar features to it and now another is known,
it is the home of the Strikeouts.
當然有些猜測為什麼會發生這種情況:是因為後段打擊較差?還是因為美式足球場的燈柱
較低影響?或是因為當地氣候較為濕熱,使汗流入眼睛而容易影響視線?
總之,Sun Life Stadium是一個有許多特色的球場,而現在又多了一個----這裡是三振之
家!
(註)Jeff Sullivan原文 http://0rz.tw/3YxmP
(個人感想:別人家可以讓二壘打變全壘打,我們家可以讓89mile的直球變成98mile的
火球呢!^.< )
(題外話,baseballprospectus.com最近做的一項分析,馬大魚進季後賽可能性----5.8%!
這或然率還真是...而且搶外卡可能性----1.9%! 意思就是只能搶國東首位就對了?
...還是展望來年吧(′_>`) )
