老虎队媒分享的故事 原文：https://bit.ly/4ePopnz Detroit — Jose Altuve is 36 years old. He’s got two World Series rings, an MVP trophy, three batting titles, a .301 career batting average and .823 career OPS . He and the Houston Astros arrived in Detroit late Wednesday night after playin g in Toronto. 底特律——36 岁的Jose Altuve 已经拥有两枚世界大赛冠军戒指、一座美联 MVP 奖盃、三 座打击王，生涯打击率 .301、生涯 OPS .823。他跟休士顿太空人队在周三晚间结束多伦多 的比赛後，深夜才抵达底特律。 And yet, there he was, four-plus hours before first pitch Thursday, taking sever al rounds of early batting practice. 然而，在周四比赛开打前四个多小时，Altuve已经出现在球场，提前进行了好几轮打击练习 。 “Jose is a terrific example of work ethic, of mindset, of competitiveness and b eing able to handle adversity,” said Tigers manager AJ Hinch, who managed Altuv e in Houston. “Nothing has ever been given to this guy and he continues to try to improve into his 30s.” 「José 就是工作态度、比赛心态，以及应对逆境能力的绝佳典范，」曾在休士顿带过 Alt uve 的老虎队总教练 A.J. Hinch 表示。「这一路走来，没有任何东西是轻易送到他手上的 ，但即使已经三十多岁了，他仍然持续努力，想让自己变得更好。」 As Altuve was grinding, Tigers rookie Hao-Yu Lee was standing in front of the du gout, intently watching every swing. 在Altuve持续进行打击练习时，老虎队菜鸟李灏宇站在休息区前，专心地观察着他的每一次 挥棒。 “I wanted to watch him hit,” Lee said. “Because when we were in Houston, I go t a double and he told me he really liked my swing. On that double, I didn’t ge t a barrel. But he said, ‘If you’ve got a good swing, you get good results.’ ” 「我想观察他怎麽打击，」李灏宇说。「因为我们之前在休士顿比赛时，我打了一支二垒安 打，他告诉我他很喜欢我的挥棒。那支二垒安打其实没有打到甜蜜点，但他跟我说：『只要 你的挥棒够好，就会有好结果。』」 You can imagine the impact those words had on Lee, who at 23 is still cutting hi s teeth in the big leagues. 你可以想像，这番话对年仅 23 岁、还在大联盟累积经验的李灏宇而言，有多大的影响。 “I was so happy,” Lee said. “He might be a Hall of Famer. A Hall-of-Fame play er told me he liked my swing. Pretty awesome.” 「我真的非常开心，」李灏宇说。「他未来很有可能进名人堂。一位名人堂等级的球员跟我 说他喜欢我的挥棒，真的太酷了。」 Since coming back to the big leagues for a second time this season, Lee has look ed like a different hitter. In 11 games this month, he’s slashing .382/.400/.52 9 with a .929 OPS. 自重返大联盟以来，李灏宇看起来就像变成了不同的打者。他在这个月出赛11场，缴出 .38 2/.400/.529 的打击三围，OPS 高达 .929。 “I think his belief in himself has grown,” Hinch said. “I see him interact mo re in our hitters meetings. He will poke fun back at these guys after they give him a little bit of a hard time. Overall, as a teammate, he’s doing what young guys should do: Be pretty quiet on the front end of your career and learn and gr ow and open up and digest all of it along the way.” 「我认为他对自己更有信心了，」 Hinch 表示。「我看到他在打者会议中更愿意发言。队 友稍微亏他几句时，他也会回嘴开玩笑。整体来说，身为一名队友，他正走在年轻球员该走 的路上：职业生涯初期先保持低调，不断学习、成长，慢慢敞开自己，把一路上的经验都吸 收起来。」 Lee was hitting under .200 at the end of May. But, working with the Michael Brda r and the Tigers’ hitting coaches, he made a subtle but explosive adjustment to his swing. 5 月底时，李灏宇的打击率还不到两成。但在 Michael Brdar 与打击教练团队的协助下， 他对挥棒做了一个细微却效果显着的调整。 “The hitting coaches helped me a lot,” Lee said. “I’ve been just doing what they want me to do and the result is good.” 「打击教练们真的帮了我很多，」李灏宇说。「我就是照着他们希望我做的去执行，结果也 很好。」 They adjusted the way Lee’s top hand comes through the swing. “They saw I wasn’t pulling the ball a lot,” Lee said. “They told me to turn the barrel and it started to get better. It’s helped me a lot.” 教练团调整了他挥棒时上手的发力方式。 「他们发现我很少把球拉向左半边，」李灏宇说。「他们叫我要把棒头转得更快、更完整， 之後状况就开始变好了，帮助真的很大。」 Using his top hand, the hammer hand, to drive the barrel through the hitting zon e has helped him start hitting the ball harder more consistently. He’s still ge tting his fair share of hits to the opposite field, but his average exit velocit y has gone up. His two hits on Wednesday left his bat at 101.6 and 101.9 mph. 透过上手──也就是主导发力的那只手──更有效地带动棒头穿过好球带，李灏宇现在能更 稳定地击出强劲击球。他依然能把球打向反方向，但平均击球初速已经明显提升。 周三的两支安打，击球初速分别达 101.6 与 101.9 英里。 “It’s something he’s done his whole minor league career,” Hinch said. “You always hope these guys replicate the success they had in the minor leagues in th e big leagues. But there needs to be some comfort and some confidence that comes with that. We’re starting to see some of that confidence in the box, in his zo ne control and in executing his game plan.” 「这其实是他在小联盟时一直都有的能力，」Hinch 说。「你总是希望球员能把小联盟的成 功复制到大联盟。不过，他们还需要建立足够的自在与自信感。我们现在开始看到他的自信 了，无论是在打击区内的表现、对好坏球的掌控，还是执行自己打击计画的能力，都有明显 的进步。」 It got Altuve’s attention. “The league is full of guys to follow,” Hinch said. “I ask all of our young g uys to just pay attention to how great players go about their business. There is a lot of guys to follow but Hao-Yu is right. He should follow Jose Altuve. 这样的表现，也引起了Altuve的注意。 「这个联盟有很多值得学习的球员，」Hinch 说。「我都会告诉我们的年轻球员，多留意那 些顶尖人物是如何准备、如何面对比赛的。这里有很多榜样可以学习，但李灏宇说得没错， 他确实应该向 José Altuve 学学。」 “I’m glad to hear Lee went out and watched him work. I consider myself lucky t o have crossed paths with Jose and watch him mature as a player and a man and a husband and father. Really glad our young guys notice.” 「听到李灏宇特地去观察Altuve 练球，我很高兴。能在人生中与 José 共事我感觉很幸运 ，看着他成长，不只是成为一名优秀球员，也成为一位成熟的丈夫和父亲。我也很高兴我们 的年轻球员能注意到这些事情。」 --
