MESA, Ariz. -- The Chicago Cubs have been pleased with the continued improvement of outfielder Matt Szczur during his Fall League experience. 小熊对Matt Szczur的表现感到欣慰。 Szczur competed well against some of the top talent in the minor leagues, hitting .276 in 23 games entering the Mesa Solar Sox's final game of the league schedule. 面对高层级、顶级新秀的挑战，Szczur没有弃械投降。 The only thing that Szczur lacks is enough baseball games under his belt to get him to the big leagues. Szczur仍然需要更多的棒球经验。 "I am excited that they have a lot of faith in me," Szczur said. "They are giving me excellent chances to play so I need to make the best out of my opportunity." Szczur：感谢球团的支持。球团给我足够的机会去挑战，我也会表现最好的一面给球团。 A football and baseball player at Villanova, the 23-year-old former two-sport star got a bit of a late start in developing his baseball skills because of fall and spring football practice. 棒球、美足双栖球星仍在开发他的棒球技巧。 "I am always my own harshest critic," he said. "I analyze and look back on everything I do on the field. My training makes me aggressive by instinct. Little things like playing a little shallow in the outfield (are) part of that approach. I want to take away hits and not let a ball fall in front of me, the game inside the game, and I think that has helped me become a better defender." 严已律己是我的座右铭。我会REPLAY比赛中的表现，要求自己做得更好。比如守备该站 浅一点能把球处理得更好这类的小事我都会在乎。我想要没收各种安打，不要球在我面 前落地。 Szczur hit .295 at Class-A Daytona in the first half of the 2012 season. He was then moved up to Double-A Tennessee and struggled a bit, hitting .210 in 35 games. The young outfielder has had a lot of instruction along the way that has helped the former fifth-round pick improve since signing with the Cubs in the summer of 2010. One of those teachers has been Daytona manager and Fall League hitting coach Brian Harper. 教练Brian Harper帮助他成长。 "Brian Harper really took me under his wing," Szczur said. "He really helped me a lot with the base stealing part of the game and an overall approach. Learning how to play the game the right way is what he hammered home to me. 我在Brian Harper的羽翼下茁壮。他教我盗垒的技巧，灌输我如何解读比赛。 "Another person who had a big impact on me is (major league first base coach) Dave McKay. I was around Dave for only a short time in spring training but he helped me every day to get better. If I needed extra work at 7 a.m., Dave was there to work with me trying to prepare me. He knew my knowledge was a bit ignorant in the game because I had spent so much time with football. He helped me so much and it was in a period of less than two months." 小熊队一垒教练Dave McKay是另一位对我来说意义匪浅的人。虽然我只有在春训短短 两个月的时间内有过交流，但是这段时间他竭尽所能的教导我，让我变得更好。如果 我想来一份私人特训，即使是在早上七点，Dave McKay也会来为我做调整、帮忙。过 去我花太多时间在美式足球上，所以他花了很大的功夫帮助我这样一位棒球文盲。 Szczur will most likely begin the 2013 season back in Double A. 2013应该会在AA田纳西的开季名单中。 "I feel like the sky is the limit for me," Szczur said. "There is always room for improvement. I want to get better reads on balls hit right at me and Improve my baserunning and stealing ability. I believe that it is pretty good, but I will work hard to be better." 即使总有进步的空间，我还是认为自己办的到。我需要更杰出的守备判断、更好的跑 垒技巧、更好的的盗垒技巧，我相信自己能学好这些，但是我需要更努力去追求。 As of Wednesday, the right-handed batter from Cape May, N.J., was tied for second in the Fall League with nine stolen bases. 目前已九次盗垒并列AFL盗垒王。 因为是Szczur，百忙之间翻一下... --
