昨天道奇教士之戰
Cronenworth在12局上場投球 還三振掉了Mookie Betts
剛好前陣子官網也有一篇報導
敘述Cronenworth打擊上的成功 一部分是源於他的投手經驗

文章節錄如下:
One advantage Cronenworth has that is unique among most hitters is that he
knows very well what the view is like from the other side of the
pitcher-hitter battle. He was a two-way player through college at Michigan,
where he posted a 2.76 ERA over 52 appearances (six starts). He even appeared
in seven games out of the bullpen for Triple-A Durham in 2019, not yielding
an earned run over seven innings.
Cronenworth其中一個優勢在於他知道投打對戰中 投手側的觀點
在大學時期 Cronenworth曾是二刀流 在52場出賽(6場先發)繳出2.76ERA的佳績
2019年在3A也曾以後援出賽7場 並且完全沒有責失分
“I think the biggest thing for me is seeing the strike zone from a different
side and kind of getting that understanding,” Cronenworth said. “It’s more
or less having a pitcher’s mindset when I’m at the plate. You still want to
be a hitter, but if you can think a little bit like them, it can maybe help
formulate a plan that day.”
"我想一大關鍵在於 我曾經站在好球帶的另一側 對投手的想法有所理解"
Cronenworth說道
"因此 站在打擊區上時 我也或多或少有著「投手心態」
當然 你仍是個打者 只是你如果可以想得有一丁點像投手那樣
那會幫助你制定當天的打擊策略"
至於談到以二刀流聞名的大谷 Cronenworth這樣看
“There are guys that have the ability to do it, but can they do both at the
highest level? Guys do both in college and do both in the Minors, but can
they be the best on the mound and at the plate in the big leagues? He’s
really the first in a long time to do it, and it’s awesome to see,”
Cronenworth said. “He is super special.”
"有很多人可以二刀流 但在最高層級 他們還能這樣做?
那些曾經在大學和小聯盟二刀流的選手們 有能力在大聯盟展現頂尖水準嗎?
這麼長時間以來 大谷是第一個能做到的 欣賞大谷的表現實在是一件快事"
"大谷非常特別"
