“Framing is a term that is totally overused — I don’t like to call it
framing,” Lucroy told me before a game against San Francisco this week, “I
like to call it receiving.” The problem with calling it framing seems to be
that people associate the term with “college crap” like trying to bring the
ball back into the strike zone. If you remove that idea from the equation, ‘
receiving’ is very simple according to the Brewers’ catcher: “I try to
catch a ball and stop it. I don’t try to make a ball look like a strike, I
try to catch the ball and stop it the best I can and give the umpire a good
look.”
Lucroy: "'裱'是一個被過度使用的詞 我不喜歡這樣說 我比較喜歡說'接球' '裱'感覺
像是會和把那種把壞球拉回好球混為一談 我試著接到球然後停住 我不會試著讓壞球
看起來像好球 我把球穩穩接住讓裁判好判斷"
Now that we defined the skill better, I asked him what made a good framer. “
The less movement you have, the more likely he’s going to call it a strike,”
Lucroy said. If your glove moves around, or your body lunges after the
pitch, or even your head is on a swivel — these things make the pitch look
like it didn’t hit the target.
如何接好球? "愈少尾勁就愈容易得到好球 如果手套動來動去 或是身體晃了一下 或是
轉頭一下 這會讓球看起來沒投進目標"
Another important aspect is angle. Like Jason Castro pointed out to us
before, the catcher’s angle to the plate is a big deal. Lucroy agreed: “If
you scoot to one side of the plate and turn your body a little, the more the
umpire can see, and the more the umpire can see over your shoulder, the more
likely he’s going to give you that pitch because he can see it better.” And
this is something that Lucroy has added during his time in the major leagues.
角度 "如果站住本壘板一邊然後身體微微轉向 讓裁判有更多視野 他就更可能把球看得
清楚而買帳"
