The right-handed Kennedy made his National League debut on Wednesday night against the San Diego Padres in Arizona. He gave up three runs (all in the second inning on a three-run homer to Scott Hairston) and six hits but showed big-league stuff by striking out eight batters. The key for Kennedy is clear: command the fastball. With a fastball in the 86-91 mph range, it sat right around 87-89 mph on Wednesday night. The majority of his eight strikeouts came on change-ups (four), followed by fastballs (three) and change-ups (one). This is encouraging because it shows that Kennedy had two out-pitches going on the night, which will really help him given his average fastball velocity. Kennedy宰制的关键：速球的控球 昨天他的球速在87-89MPH间 8K的球种分别是变速球(4个)、速球(3个)、然後又是变速球(1个) 这代表他有两种不错的武器来掩护他平均水准的速球 The bulk of his six hits allowed came on the fastball (four). Kennedy has thrown a slider in the past but I did not see much of one against the Padres; he utilized a fourth pitch, but it looked to be more of a cutter, which caused a number of lazy fly balls. In this game, his control looked better than his command and he was consistently around the strike zone. 6支安打大多是速球被打(4支) 曾经是主力的滑球并没有用 好像有第四种球路─卡特 造成了很多鸟飞 丢好球的能力不错 球大多坐落在好球带边缘 There are certainly some things to work on for his next start, which will likely come against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ powerful, yet youthful, lineup. Along with improving his fastball command, it would be nice to see Kennedy induce some more ground balls, and also be more economical with his pitches; He had thrown 82 (68% for strikes) after just four innings and finished with 94 pitches thrown. Fittingly, his final out of the game came on a strikeout of another promising, young player in Kyle Blanks. 下次将面对难缠的道奇打线 控球应是主要课题 以更好的控球来取得滚地出局使用球数精简 本场到4局为止丢了82球(68%的好球率) 总计5局共用了94球 最後的出局数是三振掉Kyle Blanks Kennedy was removed for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning with the D-Backs trailing 3-1 in the game. It turned out to be a smart move, as pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal singled for Kennedy and later scored in the inning. The D-Backs tied the game up in the fifth and stormed back to win the game 5-3. FYI: Ryal hit was an opposite-field single, and the rookie had an impressive pinch-hit at-bat. 调度也是本场胜利的关键之一 代打Kennedy的Ryal打出安打 接着Johnson轰出本场第二发长球追平比数 最後以5:3赢球 Ryal代打的反方向安打令人印象深刻 --
