這一篇是選秀後官方新聞彙整＋一些心得我會挑重點翻譯以下是第一篇： UYA product Tate picked fourth by Rangers http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/129379368/pitcher-dillon-tate-drafted- fourth-by-rangers ARLINGTON -- The Rangers made one thing clear after they selected UC Santa Barbara right-handed pitcher Dillon Tate with the fourth overall pick in the 2015 Draft Monday. They took him as a starter even though there are some who suggested he might be better off in the bullpen. Tate was a reliever for the Gauchos as a sophomore before moving into the rotation this season. He was also a reliever on the national team last summer. 儘管有很多人認為Dillon Tate最好還是待在牛棚遊騎兵依然以先發投手的身分選他進來他在二年級的時候是擔任球隊的後援投手直到這個球季才移到先發輪值他也在去年的時候以後援投手的身分入選國家隊 "He started all year and we believe that is what he is," Rangers scouting director Kip Fagg said. "We're very confident he'll be a starter. Great makeup ... we've got a power pitcher who is going to be a starter." 遊騎兵的球探長Kip Fagg表示「他先發了一整年而我們相信那就是他該待的地方我們對於他的未來能成為先發感到非常有信心他有著很棒的態度...」 Tate, who is 6-foot-2, was 8-5 with a 2.26 ERA in 14 starts this season. In 103 innings pitched, he allowed 66 hits and 28 walks and struck out 111. He has a plus fastball clocked at 92-98 miles per hour and a sharp slider. His changeup is also improving. Tate今年球季的成績 14GS 8W-5L 2.26ERA 103局的投球中被打66支安打送出28保送 K了111人次他的直球落在92-98mph 還有一顆銳利的滑球且他的變速球也還在進步中 "This is a huge honor," Tate said. "Texas is a great organization. I'm really fortunate to be in this spot. A lot of kids don't get this opportunity." Major League Baseball's Urban Youth Academy was instrumental in making it happen and developing an undrafted high school pitcher into the top pitcher taken in the Draft. Tate went to Claremont (Calif.) High and did not get drafted. Only Santa Barbara and Oral Roberts showed interest in him. But Tate attended the Urban Youth Academy after his freshman year and said that experience accelerated his development. He is the highest player from the Academy to be drafted. "That was pretty big for me," Tate said. "They really helped me take big steps in the right direction. I was able to get a lot of [innings] there, develop my pitches and get me more in the [strike] zone." Fagg said the Rangers are "very confident" that they will be able to sign him. Southern California scout Todd Guggiana and West Coast crosschecker Casey Harvie did much of the scouting work. Fagg說遊騎兵"非常有信心"可以順利將Tate簽下來就此南加州球探Todd Guggiana和西海岸crosschecker (一種比地區球探負責更大區域確認地區球探發掘的球員的高階球探職務) Casey Harvie已經下足了功夫 Rangers special assistant Michael Young also went to UC Santa Barbara. He did not scout Tate personally but helped with the background check through his school sources. 遊騎兵特別助理Michael Young也曾到Tate就讀的大學幫助遊騎兵確認過他的背景 The Rangers considered Tate, Vanderbilt right-hander Carson Fulmer and Illinois left-hander Tyler Jay. Those three were viewed as the top pitchers in the Draft. 遊騎兵在第四順位也考慮過Vanderbilt的右投手Carson Fulmer 和Illinois的左投手Tyler Jay "I think they are all very talented kids," Fagg said. "They all have very good makeups. It was a tough call but we feel we got the best guy for the Texas Rangers." 「我覺得他們都是非常有天份的小子」Fagg說「他們都有非常好的態度這真的是很難做的決定但我們認為我們替遊騎兵帶來了最棒的那一個」 Rangers add speedy Jenkins in Draft http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/129441392/rangers-add-outfielder-eric- jenkins-in-draft ARLINGTON -- Eric Jenkins is 6-foot-2 and can dunk a basketball. He also played a little soccer and football at West Columbus (N.C.) High. Eric Jenkins有六呎二吋的身高有能力灌籃他在校也接觸一點足球和美式足球 But what he does best is run fast and what he loves most is playing baseball. A left-handed-hitting outfielder with great speed, some power and excellent defensive ability, Jenkins was taken by the Rangers in the second round Monday with the 45th overall pick of the 2015 Draft. 但他最擅長的一件事是跑步而且跑很快他最喜歡的則是棒球他是個擁有很快的速度和一點長打能力還有極佳防守能力的左打外野手 "He is a top-of-the-order guy, energetic, athletic, good swing, top-of-the-chart runner, very good center fielder, very good makeup, very good family," Rangers scouting director Kipp Fagg said. "We were very excited to get him with this pick." 「他是個適合前段棒次的傢伙有活力、運動能力佳、揮棒不錯、領先排行榜的跑者非常棒的中外野手非常棒的打球態度還有非常棒的家庭」遊騎兵的球探長Kip Fagg如是說「我們非常高興能在這一個順位(#45)選到他」 Jenkins has committed to the University of North Carolina-Wilmington but, like first-round pick Dillon Tate, he appears to ready to sign quickly with the Rangers. Jenkins雖然已經申請了北卡羅來納大學威爾明頓分校但就如Tate 他傾向於儘速和遊騎兵簽約 "This means a lot to me," Jenkins said. "I have been playing baseball since I was 3 years old. My boyhood dream was to play professional baseball. Today I got that opportunity and to be picked by the Texas Rangers, this means a lot." Jenkins played at a small rural high school but during the summer months he competed in most of the summer All-Star and showcase events put on for Draft and college prospects. He held his own against the best and the Rangers believe he could develop into an impact player. Jenkins來自偏僻的地方高中但在去年夏天他與參與此次選秀的高中、大學等眾多好手一起競爭利用自身優勢對抗這些最好的球員使得遊騎兵相信他可以發展成一位頗具影響力的球員 He hit .323 with seven doubles, four home runs, 25 RBIs and 27 stolen bases in his senior season. He had 66 steals over three years and was a second-team All-American. 在他高三的球季他繳出.323的打擊率七支二壘安打四支全壘打 25分打點和27次盜壘成功高中三年他一共成功盜壘66次並入選All-American第二隊(類似NBA選最佳第一隊...的概念) The Rangers have upgraded the number of offensive prospects in their farm system over the past few years with big bats like Joey Gallo, Nomar Mazara and Nick Williams. But they have been lacking in true speed and Jenkins helps address that. 遊騎兵在過去幾年替自己的農場升級了許多攻擊面的大棒子新秀像是Joey Gallo、Nomar Mazara和Nick Williams 但卻缺乏真正的快腿而Jenkins正可以改善這方面的匱乏 "We want guys who have a chance to make an impact in the big leagues and he has a chance to do that," Fagg said. One good sign: Jenkins comes from the same high school as former outfielder Otis Nixon, who stole 50 bases for the Rangers in 1995. Nixon is 16th all-time with 620 career stolen bases. 也許算是個好徵兆： Jenkins與曾經在1995為遊騎兵盜了50次壘的外野手Otis Nixon來自同一所高中 Nixon呢以620次生涯盜壘成功排名史上第16多盜壘次數的球員 "If he turns into Otis Nixon, I would be very happy with that," Fagg said. 「如果他真的變成了另一個Otis Nixon 我會很開心」Fagg說 Texas begins Day 2 with high-upside arms http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/129524520/texas-begins-day-2-with-high- upside-arms ARLINGTON -- The Rangers used their third- and fourth-round picks to take two of the most talented pitchers in the 2015 Draft on Tuesday. But they both had their seasons cut short by arm injuries, putting both Duke right-hander Michael Matuella and University of Houston right-hander Jake Lemoine in the nebulous "high-risk, high-reward" category. 遊騎兵以第三輪和第四輪選了兩個2015年選秀最(Lemoine沒那麼好啦)負天分的兩個投手但這兩人都因手傷而縮短了球季使得來自Duke大學的Michael Matuella和休士頓大學的Jake Lemoine 被貼上了"高風險，高報酬"的標籤 Matuella is recovering from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery and is also dealing with the similar back issues as Rangers pitcher Matt Harrison. Matuella正從TJ手術中復原而他也正遇到和Matt Harrison的背傷相似的問題 That's why Matuella dropped to the third round. He had Tommy John surgery two months ago and will need at least a full year of recovery. He's also dealing with spondylosis, an issue involving degenerative discs in the back. 那正是Matuella掉到第三輪的原因他在兩個月前開了TJ 還必須要休息至少一年才能復原他也正處理脊椎解離症一個包含他背部椎間盤退化的症狀 The combination leaves much unknown about Matuella's professional future, although he was still viewed as a potential first-round pick before the elbow problem sidelined him for the rest of the season at the beginning of April. 儘管在四月的開始他手肘問題使得他不得不退出勝下的季賽前他仍然被視為第一輪的可能人選背傷和TJ卻也使得他的未來職業生涯充滿未知 https://twitter.com/mikematch30 (Matuella的推特在得知他被遊騎兵選中的當下) Prior to the injury, Matuella was 1-1 with a 1.08 ERA in six starts. In 25 innings, he had allowed 20 hits and 11 walks while striking out 24. Harrison, who had spinal fusion surgery a year ago, has been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. Harrison因為被診斷罹患椎間滑脫症而在一年前動了脊柱融合手術 "His has more degenerative discs, which can cause nerve pain," Harrison said. "Mine is a case where the vertebrae breaks in half and moves around, pulling on the nerves and causing numbness." 「他有較多退化的椎間盤使得他的神經感到疼痛」Harrison說「我的則是脊椎骨中間破裂而滑動拉扯到我的神經造成神經麻木」 (這邊牽扯較多醫學名詞我的翻譯不一定正確而這段也不能比較出誰情況較嚴重) Lemoine, who stands 6-foot-5, came into the season highly regarded after pitching well for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. He was listed either second or third team on four preseason All-American lists. But he made just five starts before going down with an impingement in his right shoulder. He was 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five starts. Lemoine身高6尺5吋在USA大學代表隊投出 2W-2L 2.45 ERA的成績後成為被高度重視的投手他在四個All-American名單中皆名列第二或第三隊 (http://www.uhcougars.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/jake_lemoine_822435.html) 但他因為右肩關節疼痛只出賽了5場拿到 1W-1L 4.50 ERA Lemoine was 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance with the national team. Opponents hit .194 off him. He was 6-8 with a 2.87 ERA in 17 starts as a sophomore. The Rangers previously drafted Lemoine in the 21st round of the 2012 Draft out of Bridge City (Texas) High School. 遊騎兵曾在2012年選秀第21輪挑中他 The Rangers used their fifth-round pick to selected outfielder Chad Smith from South Gwinnett (Ga.) High School. He is a left-handed hitter with some power. He also has pitched, but the Rangers drafted him as an outfielder. 而遊騎兵第五輪選了個左打帶有點power的高中生Chad Smith 他可以投球但遊騎兵是以外野手的身分選進他 Third-rounder Matuella aims to overcome odds http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/129630912/third-rounder-matuella-aims- to-overcome-odds ARLINGTON -- The Rangers took UC-Santa Barbara right-hander Dillon Tate with the fourth overall pick because they believe he was the best pitcher in the 2015 Draft. They took Duke right-hander Michael Matuella with their third-round pick because he might have ended up as the best pitcher in the Draft if not for a back issue and major elbow surgery. The Rangers are hoping Matuella can overcome those problems and give them two premium starting-pitching prospects from one Draft. 遊騎兵在第四順位選Dillon Tate 因為他們相信他是本屆選秀最好的投手他們在第三輪選了Michael Matuella 因為若不是手肘問題和背部的症狀他最後也許會是此次選秀最好的投手遊騎兵希望Matuella能克服這些問題這樣他們就可以在一次的選秀中得到兩個頂級先發投手新秀 "When we got him, I was ecstatic," Rangers scouting director Kip Fagg said. "It was one of the better scouting moments in my Texas Rangers career. If this guy gets healthy, he has got a chance to be a frontline guy. He has got that kind of arm and that kind of stuff." 「當我們得到他時我是狂喜的」遊騎兵的球探長Kip Fagg說「這是我在德州遊騎兵從是球探生涯以來很棒的一個當下如果這個小子是健康的他就有機會成為前段輪值他就是有那個手臂他就是有那個stuff」 Much depends on how Matuella recovers from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery that was performed on April 14 by Dr. James Andrews. But he is also dealing with a back condition known as spondylosis that causes degeneration of the lower vertebrae. (他的傷勢如何前面已經提及這邊就不翻了) Matuella was diagnosed with the back problem when he was a freshman in high school. But it never became an issue until his sophomore year at Duke. Matuella spent last summer and fall on a core-strengthening program and entered this season believing it was no longer a problem. The Rangers were confident enough to meet with Matuella in January about being the fourth overall pick in the country. 他在高一的時候就被診斷出脊椎解離症只是一直到他大二前這都不曾是一個嚴重問題於是Matuella去年花了夏季和秋季在增強自己的核心肌群到了這一個球季開始時他相信脊椎解離症已經不再是個問題而遊騎兵也曾經在一月時拜訪過他談論關於第四順位的事情 That was before he came down with the elbow problems during the season that led to Tommy John surgery. 那是在他必須因為手肘問題動手術之前 "It was been pretty wild," Matuella said. "It's frustrating to work so hard so that the back would not be an issue. It is not an issue ... then to have elbow come up. I'm just working as hard as I can to come back in the best shape of my life. The only thing I can control is how hard I can work." 「那是非常令人措手不及的」Matuella說「為了不讓背傷成為一個問題我不斷努力然後當背部不再是個問題時手肘突然出問題了那是種令人沮喪的感覺我只是盡我的努力好讓我能回到我人生中最好的樣子付出多少努力是我現下唯一能夠控制的事情」 The twin questions about Matuella's health are why a pitcher who began his junior year at Duke as a potential overall first pick ended up falling to the Rangers at No. 78 overall. Matuella was not selected in the first two rounds of the Draft, and his status was one of the big question marks going into the second day. The Rangers answered it by taking him with the third pick of the third round. "It was definitely tough not getting picked the first day," Matuella said. "But I was confident the right team would pick me. I was really happy it was the Texas Rangers. Texas has been very thorough in describing the rehab program I would be going through. I think it's the right course to ensure my long-term health and my long-term success." 「沒有在選秀的第一天就被挑選對我的心情來說絕對是難以調適的」Matuella說「但我相信對的球隊總會選到我而我很高興那支球隊是遊騎兵遊騎兵非常精細地描述了我需要的復健療程我認為這是一個確保我長期健康和成功的正確道路」 The Rangers still have to sign him. Matuella's slot value is $777,600, which would be significantly less than the bonus he might have received if not for Tommy John surgery. Matuella will likely get more than his slot, but both sides are confident a deal will get done. 遊騎兵必須與Matuella達成合約第78順位的slot是 777,600 元美金如果Matuella沒動TJ的話這個數字就會明顯低於他可能拿到的金額當然 Matuella還是非常有可能拿到高於這個價位的金額而兩方都有信心將合約完成 "I'm very optimistic," Matuella said. "The Rangers made it clear they want to sign me, and I'm confident we can work it out." 「我非常樂觀」Matuella說「遊騎兵清楚表示他們想要簽下我而我非常相信我們可以一起努力出一個合約來」 =============================本次選秀的一點心得=============================== 不管喜不喜歡球隊這次選秀的決擇身為一個球迷在事情落幕後也只有相信球隊的眼光還有養成能力了一直以來我都認為球員的態度和性格或甚至家庭背景是影響一個新秀養成常被低估的部分然而條子卻非常重視這一塊所以既然我們的球探長說Tate是個好孩子那我就殷切希望Tate未來能夠用他表現打我臉XDD 只不過若是他最後養成了closer我也不會太訝異就是... 最少應該會是比較強的那種closerXDD 然後我一定要說阿我非常非常開心就是如果我們真的簽下Matuella 那我們的農長就不知道是多久以來再一次出現"Ace"潛力的新秀加上Tate和Lemoine的天花板都不低要是一切都照著球隊的盤算走那今年選秀絕對是近幾年來最大的一次勝利呀 -- only time will tell -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.24.157.188 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Rangers/M.1433989370.A.8DA.html ※ 編輯: JustinIdiot (114.24.157.188), 06/11/2015 10:23:34 ※ 編輯: JustinIdiot (114.24.157.188), 06/11/2015 10:24:40
