Meet Spencer Howard, the Phillies pitching prospect with wipeout stuff and top-of-the-rotation potential By Jim Salisbury April 11 In the frenzied weeks before the 2017 Major League Baseball draft, J.Almaraz traveled to Southern California to watch a player he was considering selecting in the first round. 在上上回的選秀也就是黑勢力的那年選秀總監Almaraz 跑到南加州去看他認為有機會第一輪的某位小朋友 Almaraz arrived a day early and, at the urging of area scout Shane Bowers, drove over to UCLA to check out a kid from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo who was pitching against the Bruins that day. 阿瑪拉茲早到了一天在當地一位球探的慫恿下開車去看一位加州理工大學來的投手比賽 The Phillies scouting director loved what he saw. "He ate those UCLA hitters up," Almaraz recalled. "After that, I knew that was the guy we were going to focus on for the second round." 阿瑪拉茲說 : 夭壽喔這小朋友根本大啖UCLA的打者在那場比賽後我知道偶費找到了第二輪的天菜! A few weeks later, the Phillies selected Virginia University OF Adam Haseley in the 1st round of the draft and the pitcher from Cal Poly in the 2nd. 果然在那年費首輪選了外野手黑勢力第二輪就是這位史賓塞。猴兒 That's how Spencer Howard became a member of the Phillies organization. The club is sure happy to have him. In fact, he might be the organization's top pitching prospect, a strong-bodied right-hander with stuff, smarts and toughness. 在某些球探或球評眼裡史猴兒或許是當今PHI農場裡的第一強投 (先撇開Adonis Medina不論的話) Spencer Howard, 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, emerged as a top prospect at Single A Lakewood last season. He survived some growing pains in his first full season of pro ball and recorded a 3.78 ERA in 23 starts. He struck out 11.8 batters per 9 innings. Howard showed some moxie and impressed Phillies officials by getting stronger as the season went on. In his final 2 starts - both in the South Atlantic League playoffs - he allowed just three hits, one walk and one run in 14 innings while striking out 15. One of those starts was a nine-inning no-hitter. He walked one and struck out nine while throwing 103 pitches in that gem. Spencer迄今最著名的事蹟莫過於去年在低階1A雷克伍德藍螯蝦的季後賽中投出了無安打比賽！ Oh, yeah, and a couple of those pitches registered 100 mph on the gun. 媽啦在那場無雙亂舞的神蹟見證了幾顆１００麥的火球！ "It was unbelievable. It was impeccable," recalled Brad Bergeson, Howard's pitching coach at Lakewood last season. "We'd seen 94 to 97 during the season and he'd flash 98. But it was on a whole other gear that night." 當時的投手教練如今回想起來：壓根兒無懈可擊！球季當中我們偶而見識過９８但無安打那天簡直被～速度與激情～給上身 ˋ(O_O)ˋ John Almaraz calls Howard "a fresh arm." Unlike many other American-born prospects, Howard was not a product of the travel-ball and showcase craze that can eat up a young pitcher's bullets. He was a soccer player. He was so interested in volleyball that he thought about giving up baseball to play that sport as a junior in high school. 球探總監說猴兒同學他有條新鮮(看來保固期還挺長)的手臂不像許多高中大學的新秀投手們除了被比賽給操的為了未來選秀身價年紀輕輕地就過度消耗喏自己的投球臂膀 "Baseball really wasn't the biggest thing for me," Howard said a few weeks ago. "I enjoyed it, but not year round. I enjoyed doing other things, too." 又踢足球又打排球的史賓塞差點就曾放棄掉棒球 "棒球並非我的全部我享受他但不是終年徹日(都沉浸其中) 我還享受許多其他事物..." He stuck with baseball through high school, went to Cal Poly, just a few minutes from his hometown, as a business major and decided to attend a tryout for walk-ons as a freshman. He threw 88 mph and earned a spot on the fall roster. He ended up redshirting as a freshman, gained some valuable physical strength, and pitched out of the bullpen as a sophomore. It took an injury in the rotation for him to get a chance to start as a junior and he quickly impressed. 大學時本來只是個RP 在某次校隊SP受傷出現了契機自此就回不去了牛棚 Throughout college and his first 2 seasons of pro ball, Howard's appreciation for baseball grew. Knowledge has ignited a passion. "I learned how to do baseball full-time," he said. "I've learned the ins and outs of the game. Looking back, I was a thrower and not a pitcher. I'd try to throw it as hard as I could and maybe they'd swing and miss." 這兩年我學到了很多以前我跟許多少年郎一樣一心一意就想飆火球三振對方 Bergeson saw Howard's growth as a pitcher last season. "The first time I saw him in spring training last year, you could tell the game was a little fast for him, you could see it in his eyes and his delivery," Bergeson said. "So to see where he started from and where he finished was unbelievable. The work that he put in - he's one of the hardest workers I've ever seen. His preparation was second to none. 藍螯蝦的投手教練說: 他是我見過最敬業奮發向上的小夥子之一他為比賽與投球所做的準備與鑽研無人能出其右！ "He's a power guy with four plus pitches and at times they're all wipeout. All of them. Fastball, curveball, slider, changeup. He's got an unbelievable arsenal. The sky is the limit. It's a special arm." "他有三種變化球曲球滑球變速有些日子裡～每種幾乎都可是必殺技他有不可思議的球路內容他的剖天朽簡直與藍天等量齊高！" Howard's arm is so special that the Seattle Mariners requested him when the Phillies tried to get closer Edwin Diaz included in the Jean Segura deal this offseason. The Phils wouldn't do it. Ditto for J.T. Realmuto. 這冬天 GM可憐他在談塞古拉時不乏與水手談過Diaz 這時的水手就覬覦上了史猴兒尬的Bless可憐他跟迪坡陡表示要Howard的話那就謝謝再聯絡 XD~ "When the Realmuto trade was made, one of my teammates sent me a screenshot of a tweet that said I was in the deal," Howard said. "He said, 'Well, see you later.' I thought I was gone until it was officially announced." 真木頭交易案時我也一度以為自己要款包袱喏rz Howard has opened the new season at advanced 1A Clearwater. He pitched 6 shutout innings Wednesday night against Lakeland. In his first two starts, he has given up three runs, eight hits and two walks over 10? innings. He has 12 SO. Those who've seen Howard pitch believe he could rise quickly in the system and that would be ideal because he turns 23 on July 28. On his current track, he will get tested in Double A at some point this season and that will give the Phillies an even better idea of what they have. 目前在高階1A清水長尾鮫的Howard 只要沒被瓶頸給卡住今年應該上AA去奮戰讀書～沒有問題 "Top-of-the-rotation starter," a longtime talent evaluator said of Howard's ceiling. 某資深的球探表示這是位"王牌投手"的資質！ The hype surrounding Howard has come quickly, but he seems to be a kid who can handle it. 當開始濡沫四射說PHI在走了六郎後又出了位投手大物猴兒似乎態度還不臭 "I ignore it," he said. "If you listen to it, you end up thinking you've already made it when there's still a lot of work to do. Just keep pitching, keep grinding." 我會當作沒聽見假如你當真的話你可能會飄飄然還以為自己真的已經很了不起偶還有很多東西要學許多地方有待拋光 And if staying grounded ever becomes a challenge, Howard only needs to look back at that game he pitched against UCLA in 2017, the one that led Phillies to lock in on him. 如果說要怎樣可以幫助史賓塞不要被外界驚艷的目光給沖昏了頭他只須回想阿瑪拉茲到場看的那場比賽即可！ "I remember that game," he said with a laugh. "I gave up a HR that probably still hasn't landed yet." 哈哈哈我記得那天很糗啊被貓了一隻超大發的登月火箭(HR) 子彈飛了好一會兒可能現在都還沒落地 pupu :D~~~ -- David Brian Cone Mets KC Jays NYY BOS SP Ht: 6'1" Wt: 190 Bat: L Throw: R Born: 1-2-63 Kansas City YR Team W L ERA IP BB SO 1999.7.18 Perfect Game 94 Royals 16 5 2.94 171.2 54 132 1994 Cy Young Award 98 Yankees 20 7 3.55 207.2 59 209 1998 AL Wins Leader Ttl 14-Year 180 102 3.19 2590.0 985 2420 '90'91'92 StrikeOut King -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.24.221.61 ※ 編輯: Carreras (114.24.221.61), 04/13/2019 22:09:08
