[球員] Prospect Terrance Gore
When I reviewed the Royals draft last year I had an idea that Terrance Gore
was fast. Why else would they take a 5’7 160 lbs Center-fielder from the
same JUCO school that they had already used their 14th round pick on? KC
scouts more than likely went down to scout D’Andre Toney and the diminutive
Gore probably turned their heads with his ridiculous speed. Coach Mike
Kandor Gore’s JUCO coach let me know just how fast when I gave him a call
during my draft review:
當我在回頭看去年皇家選秀的時候,我對Terrance Gore有個印象,就是他很快。為何他
們還會選一個5呎7加上160磅的中外野手,因為他們已經在14輪選了同樣來自JUCO學校的
外野手?或許皇家球探可能會對D’Andre Toney的興趣下滑,因為小Gore的速度可能會讓他
們目瞪口呆!!!!他之前的教練給了他評價如下
Mike Kander Gulf Coast Head Men’s Baseball Coach – “The fastest player in
the country. A good comp for Gore could be Joey Gathright and he’s the type
of player that would’ve been a good fit on the 1978 Royals teams. He brings
a whole new level of speed to the game putting up times to 1st base in the
3.49 range from the right side on a bunt and consistently in the 3.7-3.8
range on a swing. One coach in the conference who was an assistant for
Florida State during the Deion Sanders years said that he never thought he
would see a player with Deion’s speed on the baseball field, then he saw
Gore and said he’s faster. Terrance like Toney brings a physicality from
their football days to baseball with a aggressive approach. Also like Toney
he is still pretty raw with the bat and has a below average arm but uses his
speed very effectively on defense.”
"他是這個國家最快的人。他的模組是Joey Gathright,而且他的外型就跟1978年的皇家
成員一樣。他帶來了更高一等級的速度,從右打區短打到一壘只要3.49秒,而揮棒也平均
在3.7-3.8之間。聯盟裡的一位教練,他曾是Deion Sanders在佛州大的助理教練,他說他
曾沒想過會有人用Deion的速度展現在棒球場上,而且Gore還比他更快。因為Gore跟Toney
一樣都是從足球轉成棒球。所以他們打擊的技巧還很嫩,跟低於平均的臂力,但是他的速
度很快,對防守很有利。"
That’s great stuff but not quite that shocking, lots of players are blazing
fast but still struggle to convert its full usefulness on the field. We’ve
been told for years about Derrick Robinson’s impressive speed and while you
can see it on display when you look at his 291 stolen bases with a 75.8%
success rate and watch some of his less than stellar defensive routes in CF
it doesn’t quite show off as well as we or likely Royals coaches had hoped.
Jarrod Dyson on the other hand is a player who is also fast but seems to use
it quite a bit better on the bases with an 83.2% success rate in the minors,
90% so far in the majors (20 for 22) and defensively as Dyson is an excellent
defender. Dyson may never be a starting CF in the majors but his speed and
his proficiency to use it should be able to give him a job as a 4/5 OF/PR
which for a late round draftpick is pretty nice for any club.
那是很好的stuff,但並不驚訝,有太多球員有驚人的速度,但是卻在運用他們的速度在
球場中陷入掙扎。你看看Derrick Robinson...,291次的盜壘,而且有著75.8%的成功機
率,但是看看他在中外野破爛的守備,這不是你我所希望的。Jarrod Dyson是另一個腿哥
,小聯盟是83.2%盜壘成功率,大聯盟是90%。令人欣慰的是他也是個好的守備員。他雖然
不會是開季先發中外野,但是他會是個4.5號外野手跟代跑手。對一個後面順位的球員來
說,對任何球團來說都是很棒的事(Ps.Dyson是06年50輪選入)
How does Gore who was just named the new Fastest Baserunner in the
organization by Baseball America shape up to Derrick and Dyson and other
speedsters? Quite favorably as a matter of fact, Gore besides the glowing
scouting reports on his Deionlike speed is currently riding a 44 consecutive
stolen base streak without being caught. The fleet of foot Gore went 17 for
17 in the stolen base department during his 35 game minor league debut for
the Royals in the Arizona League. That was after finishing his JUCO season
with 27 consecutive successful stolen bases in his last 29 games, Gore in six
of those games featured at least 2 stolen bases. The major league record in
comparison to what Terrance has done is 50 consecutive steals by Vince
Coleman who set that record in 1989 for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Gore是BA剛出爐的我們體系中最佳的跑壘員,竟然贏過一堆腿哥。球探看好她越來越進步
,他已經連續44次
盜壘成功。今年在新人亞歷桑納聯盟出賽35場,跑出了17次盜壘成功,沒被抓到。在加上
他在JUCO球季最後29場裡的27次盜壘成功,他在其中6場有超過2盜壘 。在大聯盟的記錄
是1989年紅雀的Vince Coleman所創下的連50次盜壘成功,是他的目標。
While Gore has done most of his work so far against players that aren’t of
pro level quality his ability to know timing, having speed and being able to
execute at successful clip can make a players speed a major tool. Just ask
Billy Hamilton who is currently ranked #1 and #2 in the Cincinnati Reds
system by Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America mostly for his 80 grade
speed that helped him steal 103 bases in the Midwest League in 123 attempts
this past season. Terrance like Hamilton will have to transfer his major
tool to the defensive side of the game but if he can then maybe the Royals
could add another diamond in the rough.
目前為止Gore完成了大部分的任務,在他還沒具備職業級的能力,包括抓時機,利用速度
跟有能力執行可以抓住成功,速度可以成為進入大聯盟的能力。看看Billy Hamilton,BP
跟BA給紅人農場排名1跟2的新秀,給了他80分的速度,幫助他去年在小聯盟拿到103次盜
壘(在123次嘗試中),Terrance將需要強化他的主要能力在防守上。如果他做到。那皇家
又將從沙粒中找到珍珠...
