Joe Girardi解釋今天Phil Hughes被打爆的原因, 因為不是在投球而是在"推"球，使得他的球投得高太平缺乏尾勁。賽後Hughes也同意這個說法，他說他的"arm slot"太低, 讓他變得像在"推球"，出手點太低也讓他的速球的旋轉，使得他的速球比較像"滑球"。讓他原本速球/切球/曲球的組合, 變成滑球/切球/曲球, 但Hughes曲球的品質不穩定，速球又像滑球, 變得和切球差不多，使得他原本的三種球路，降低變成兩種, 打者便可以鎖定其中一種來揮擊。　　只是另一個令人覺得納悶的是THT的Josh Kalk曾表示，Hughes的放球點一直是非常固定的，而且你可能還會質疑為什麼會有這麼穩定的放球點。但這場為何會突然arm slot往下掉呢, waswatching.com的猜測可能是"手臂疲勞", 因為當投手的球投得開始高起來時，原因便可能是手臂疲勞。讓我們看看他下場出賽的狀況看看是不是真是這樣? May 9th @ The Orioles By Steve Lombardi - Last updated: Saturday, May 9, 2009 I gave Phil Hughes a mulligan on his last start and this is what he does the next time out? In the YES post-game coverage, Joe Girardi said that Hughes was “pushing” the ball and this caused his pitches to “get up” and be “flat.” And, in his post-game interview, Phil Hughes agreed - saying that his “arm slot was low” and this made him “push the ball.” As I understand it, when a pitcher’s arm slot drops (or is low), having the elbow on the throwing arm lower, it forces the pitcher to “arm,” “push,” or “sling” the ball instead of “throwing” it. And, when this happens, a pitcher’s fastball develops a tailing action. Basically, when his slot drops, it doesn’t allow his fingers to stay on top of the ball and acquire the appropriate backspin for a true fastball. For Hughes, tonight, this made his fastball more like a slider. And, a slider is basically a cutter - which Hughes does throw. So, in situations when he loses his slot, like today, Hughes goes from being a fastball/cutter/curve pitcher and becomes a (natural) slider/cutter/curve pitcher. The latter is an issue because Hughes is inconsistent with his curve. Plus, if his fastball acts like a slider, which is the same as a cutter, it turns Hughes into a two-pitch pitcher: Slider/Cutter and Curveball. And, with that two-pitch only attack, hitters can sit on one pitch and hack…see: Ramirez, Edwar. (Although, for Ramirez, it’s fastball/change only and not cutter/curve only.) Now, here comes the strange part. Last summer, Josh Kalk established that Hughes has an incredibly consistent arm slot. As he wrote then: …if someone tells you that Hughes doesn’t have a consistent release point, they are wrong. Because his release point is so steady, you would think that comes from a very repeatable delivery and, indeed, that is reportedly one of his best traits. In fact, you have to wonder if his release point is too consistent. So, what happened, all of a sudden, tonight, to make Phil lose his slot? If I had to guess, I would say it’s arm fatigue. I can remembering hearing, as far back as the 1970’s, “When a pitcher starts getting his pitches up in the zone, it’s because he’s tired and he can’t keep his elbow up in his delivery.” This, of course, leads to the question: Why does Hughes have arm fatigue? (If my theory is true.) I guess we’ll see…right? It will be interesting to see if Phil does better with this…his next time out. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21
