Prospect of the Day: Steven Souza, OF, Washington Nationals http://0rz.tw/61rNd By John Sickels on Jun 24 2014, 10:59a Washington Nationals outfield prospect Steve Souza is on a tear at Triple-A Syracuse. He went 3-for-4 last night for the Chiefs, following up a 2-for-5 (with a home run) performance on June 22nd, and a 3-for-6 (with five RBI) outing on the 21st. He's been devastating this month, hitting .382/.467/.618 in June. 國民外野新秀Steve Souza在3A雪城大爆走。 23日晚上3-4，22日則是2-5包括一轟；21日3-6外加五打點。他擁有壓倒性的六月，三圍.382/.467/.618。 Hell, he's been devastating all year as his complete season line of .363/.456/.567 shows. In addition to the power and OBP, he's got a nice BB/K ratio (33/43 in 237 plate appearances) and has stolen 12 bases in 17 attempts. He's also playing well defensively in both center and right field according to league observers. 哇靠，363/.456/.567這種三圍根本就一整個球季都在大肆破壞。除了砲瓦跟上壘率，他的BB/K比也很棒（237個打席33/43）， 17次盜壘成功12次。根據聯盟觀察人員表示，他在CF與RF的防守也很好。 Souza leads the International League in OPS by 78 points over his nearest competitor (Gregory Polanco). He leads in SLG, OBP, and batting average. He has a juicy wRC+ of 188. He's been devastating against both left-handed (.995 OPS) and right-handed pitchers (1.033 OPS), both on the road (1.071) and at home (.969). Keep in mind that this is in the International League, a relatively neutral environment, not the high-offense Pacific Coast League. Souza的OPS是International League最高，比第二名的Gregory Polanco多出.078。他的三圍全都是聯盟第一，wRC+是可口的188。不管左投（.995OPS）右投（1.033OPS）他都照扁不誤，也沒在分客場（1.071OPS）還是主場（.969OPS）。記得這是在環境中性的International League，跟Pacific Coast League那種打者天堂可不一樣。 Really the only thing that hasn't gone well was Souza's very brief big league trial, where he went just 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over eight games, hardly a fair test of his skills. 唯一一件沒做得那麼好的就是他短暫的大聯盟之旅，八場比賽1-8吞下三次三振。但這對他很難說算是公平的測試。 So who is this dude? 那麼誰才是蠢蛋？ Souza was a third round pick in 2007 from high school in Everett, Washington. Scouts have always loved his tools: he's very strong, with at least 60 power. He also has above-average speed and a strong throwing arm. His progress through the minors was slowed by injuries, trouble with his swing, a failed attempt to play third base, inadequate strike zone judgment, a PED suspension in 2010, and persistent questions from evaluators about his makeup. Souza是2007年第三輪從華盛頓州Everett的高中被選進，球探一直很愛他的tools，他很強壯，砲瓦至少60，也有above-average的速度跟強大臂力。他的小聯盟生涯受到傷痛，揮棒不佳，無法勝任三壘，糟糕的好球帶識別能力與2010年的禁藥問題所拖累；另外也包括一直以來備受質疑的情緒控管能力。 However, he seemed to get his life in some measure of order in 2012 and has been blasting the ball ever since, posting a .297/.366/.572 line in A-ball in '12, a 161 wRC+ (slash line .300/.396/.557 with 20 steals) in Double-A in 2013, and the aforementioned destruction of Triple-A this year. His approach at the plate has improved greatly compared to earlier in his career, and the tools have always been there. 然而他的生活從2012年開始拉回正軌，與此同時他也能把球打得更紮實。同年1A打出.297/.366/.572，161wRC+；隔年在2A則繳出.300/.396/.557外加20次盜壘成功。接著就跟前面說到的一樣，今年徹底摧毀3A。他的打擊策略與生涯早期相比有長足長進，而tools一直都擺在那。 At age 25 he isn't young as prospects go, but he's not ancient either and is still two years younger than the average denizen of the International League. I don't know how the Nationals intend to use him, but they stuck with him through some difficult times due to his potential and it looks like that potential is now being realized. 對一個新秀來說25歲已經不年輕了。但他也還不算老，比International League平均年齡還低兩歲。我不知道國民打算怎麼用他，但看到他現在的表現出潛能後，可以理解為什麼國民在困難的時刻依舊不願放棄他。 If he continues his present path, Souza will be of interest both to Nationals fans and fantasy owners due to his power/speed potential. 如果他持續目前的表現，基於他的砲瓦與速度潛力， Souza對國民粉絲與FB玩家都會是很有意思的選項。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.34.47.100 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Nationals/M.1403870825.A.F82.html
