Prospect Retro: Howie Kendrick by John Sickels on Sep 3, 2008 9:54 AM PDT Howie Kendrick was drafted by the Angels in the 10th round in 2002, out of St. John's River Community College in Florida. His pro debut was a success: .318/.368/.408 in the Arizona Rookie League, with 12 steals. He drew just seven walks, but fanned only 11 times in 157 at-bats. I didn't rate many short-season players back then, but a similar player now would get something like a "Grade C with higher potential" rating due to the very low strikeout rate. 好姨是我们2002年第10轮选进来的，在短期 Arizona Rookie League的 157 个打数，三围 .318/.368/.408，盗垒 12 次，7 个保送，但仅 仅吃了 11 次三振。因为极低的三振率，以现在标准来说，Sickles 会把他评为潜力股的 Grade C。 Kendrick moved up to the Pioneer League in 2003, hitting .368/.434/.517 for Provo. He got attention from scouts for his excellent contact hitting skills, though doubts were raised about his defense. I gave him a Grade C+ in the 2004 book, writing that I wasn't sure where he'd fit glove-wise, but that the bat looked good. 讦谯龙2003进入先锋联盟，三围.368/.434/.517，因为 contact 技巧 很好而受到球探的瞩目。 Sickles 在 2004 的 prospect book 给他等 级 C+，评语是打击佳，但是守备能力未定。 Moved up to Low-A Cedar Rapids in 2004, Kendrick hit .367/.398/.578, which are terrific numbers anywhere but especially in the Midwest League, not an easy place to hit. His walk rate remained quite low, but he didn't strike out much and the production was impossible to ignore. He also improved defensively. I gave him a Grade B+ in the 2005 book, rating him as an excellent prospect. 到了低阶 A 的麦子队，在对打者不友善的环境下打出 .367/.398/.578 的亮眼三围。虽然保送率仍然颇低，但三振也不多；此外在守备上也有 所进步。 2005 的 prospect book 评为极佳的 prospect，等级 B+。 Kendrick began 2005 with Rancho Cucamonga in the California League, hitting .384/.421/.638. Promoted to Double-A at midseason, he continued ripping the ball without missing a beat at a .342/.382/.579 clip. He stole 25 bases on the season, and while he walked just 20 times, he also struck out just 62 times in 469 at-bats while hitting 43 doubles and 19 homers. About the only negative was some problems turning the double play. I gave him a Grade A-, rating him as a future star and ranking him the number 10 hitting prospect in baseball. 2005年讦谯龙从 high-A 的地震队出发，打出.384/.421/.638。季中升 上 2A 後，棒子丝毫没有降温，继续缴出 .342/.382/.579 的成绩单。 469 个打数中，击出43个二安和19发全垒打；有25次盗垒，只有 20 个 保送和 62 K。唯一的缺点在於双杀守备有些问题。所以 06 的 book 把 他评为打击新秀第 10 名，等级 A- 。 He followed that up by hitting .369/.408/.631 in 69 games of Triple-A in 2006, then .285/.314/.416 in the majors. He hit .322/.347/.450 in 2007 with the Angels, then .308/.334/.428 this year. He's a .306/.333/.432 hitter overall in the majors. Kendrick hardly ever walks, but his strikeout rate is low and he has an unusual ability to make hard contact even on pitches most hitters shouldn't swing at. The biggest difficulty he faces is staying healthy, which is becoming a persistent problem. If he can avoid major health issues, Kendrick will contend for batting titles in the coming years. But that's a big IF. 讦谯龙的确很少捡到保送，然而三振率也相当低。即使一般打者根本不会 挥击的球，他也有本事打得相当结实。讦谯龙一直以来健康有些问题，如 果没有重大的伤病，未来几年他将会在角逐打击王头衔之列--但健康与否 就是最大的问题所在。 ps.附一下 BR 讦谯龙的成绩： http://www.baseball-reference.com/k/kendrho01.shtml === 我比较好奇的是，好姨在小联盟每季 300 ~ 400 多个 PA 都可以干个 10 几发本，但是为什麽上来以後好像这项能力一直还没表现出来呢...？ 我认为以他的能力，每季产个十来二十发应该不成问题的呀.. orz --
