: DEVELOPING WEI-CHUNG WANG
: BY KYLE LESNIEWSKI APRIL 29, 2016
: Wei-Chung Wang isn’t a prospect in the typical sense – he’s already
: accrued a year of major league service time after the Milwaukee Brewers
: chose him in the 2013 Rule 5 Draft. At this point, however, he’s probably
: more well-remembered by the casual fan for his contributions on the dance
: floor than his contributions on the mound for the 2014 Brewers:
: 17.1 IP, 10.90 ERA, 10.61 DRA, and -1.3 WARP.
王维中并不是一个典型的期待新秀--在2013年的规则五选秀後,他已经有一年的
大联盟资历了。但现在一般粉丝对他在跳舞上表现似乎比在投手丘上的表现还要
更印象深刻。
: The Brewers selected Wang from the Pirates rookie league affiliate knowing
: that he’d be a project, though. Despite his poor showing in the
: big leagues the Taiwanese lefty showed enough during his minor league
: rehab assignment (26.1 IP, 2.39 ERA, 22:4 K/BB) and an Arizona Fall League
: stint (23.0 IP, 2.74 ERA, 12:2 K/BB) that Baseball America considered him
: a top-10 prospect for Milwaukee entering the 2015 season. After a year in
: The Show, Wei-Chung was assigned to high-A Brevard County to continue his
: minor league development as a starter.
酒鬼从海盗小联盟把王当成期待新秀挑来。虽然大联盟表现不如预期,但是台湾
豪情左腕在复健赛和秋季联盟的绝佳表现让Baseball America在2015年的球探报
告把他列入酒鬼的10大期待新秀。随後王被指派到高A球队继续以先发投手的身份
在小联盟磨练。
: The Florida State League is considered a pitching paradise thanks to
: the run-suppressing humidity and cavernous ballparks, but it certainly
: didn’t seem that way for Wang at first. Through his first 12 starts
: in Brevard County Wang was only able to manage a 5.93 ERA and saw a
: significant uptick in his walk rate (8.3 percent) and WHIP (1.66).
: I had an opportunity to speak with him around that time and Wang
: attributed his struggles to focusing too heavily on throwing his
: curveball, causing him to lose feel with his fastball and have
: trouble locating.
佛罗里达联盟是个投手联盟,但王好像没有因此受惠。在一开始的12次先发中,
王只缴出了ERA5.93,保送率8.3%,WHIP1.66的成绩。在一次和他的访谈中,他
告诉我说:『我太想投好曲球了,搞的我连速球都投不好,控球也走掉了。』
: The Brewers were obviously concerned with the struggles as well, and
: on June 16th, 2015, they designated Wang for assignment to clear room on
: the 40 man roster for Matt Dominguez. That lead Tom Haudricourt of the
: Journal Sentinel to pen an article entitled “The Brewers Had High Hopes
: for Wei-Chung Wang,” which felt like a postmortem of sorts of the young
: lefty’s career. On the other hand, Craig Counsell said at the time “I
: don’t think you’re giving up on Wei-Chung Wang. He still has a chance
: to be a major league pitcher.”
酒人的好高高层也发现了王的状况,所以在6/14,2015把他移出40人名单。某位当
地记者还因此发了一篇文『我酒规则五选王错了吗?』来鞭屍。然而也有人认为
王还是有机会成为大联盟投手,不要放弃好吗。
: Thanks in part to a high salary for a low-level minor leaguer (it’s
: stipulated that the salary of a player on the 40 man roster cannot be cut
: by more than 20% from the previous year, meaning Wang was making in excess
: of $300,000), Wei-Chung wound up clearing waivers and was outrighted off
: the 40 man roster. He was ultimately able to stay in the Milwaukee
: organization. Looking back, that may have been exactly the wake up call
: that the 23 year old needed.
因为大联盟薪水规定,王虽然在高A,但是因为在40人名单,一年还可以领超过
300K镁,所以放在让渡名单也不会有人捡,王就顺利地被移出40人名单,继续留
在酒鬼的农场。对於一个23岁就在大联盟的小子来说,这或许是一个适时的当头
棒喝。
: Wang finished the season with a flourish, posting a 1.59 ERA in his final
: 14 starts of 2015, covering 85.0 innings. He slashed his walk rate nearly
: in half to just 4.7 percent while posting a 51:16 K/BB ratio and tossing
: three complete games. Wang’s game is more about controlling contact than
: it is overpowering batters, and he was masterful during the final three
: months of the season in allowing just a .224 batting average against
: and two measly home runs.
王在2015年球季的最後14场先发的85局中缴出鬼神的ERA1.59,保送率打对折只有
4.7%,K/BB是51:16,还有3场完投。王的投球就是用控球投给你打而不是强力压
制,他最後3个月让对手打击率只有.224,且只被打出2之全垒打。
: So far that success has carried over to the AA level in 2016. Wang has
: been a major part of a standout starting rotation for the 15-5 Biloxi
: Shuckers. In four starts and 22.0 innings, Wei-Chung has posted a 3.27
: ERA and 18:8 K/BB rate while allowing opponents to hit just .210 off
: him.
如此成功的球季让他在2016升上AA,他也在AA的先发轮值上扮演要角,4场先发22局
3.27的ERA,K/BB18:8,对手打击率只有.210。
: Earlier this season our own Travis Sarandos noted that it has been nearly
: three full years since a left-handed pitcher has started a game for the
: Milwaukee Brewers. While Josh Hader has been receiving most of the
: attention (and deservedly so) for his excellent work with the Shuckers,
: we shouldn’t make the mistake of overlooking Wei-Chung Wang, who has
: been hard at work over the past nine months trying to re-establish himself
: within the organization. Wang’s arsenal still features a starter’s
: three-pitch mix with a low-90s fastball, big-breaking curve, and a
: deceptive changeup. Now 24, he’s experiencing the kind of success
: the organization surely envisioned when they brought him into the
: fold and he still looks the part of a future mid-rotation starter.
在酒鬼系统下几乎已经三年,内部人士认为我们不该忽视他这些年来的努力,且他最
近九个月来一直努力想要赢回他在整个酒鬼体系的地位。王还是有先发该有的三样
主战球种:90出头英里的速球、玉山大曲、有引诱性的变速。现在24岁了,他应该也
能感觉到自己在球团规划的未来蓝图中,能够成为轮值中的3、4号投手。
: With questions surrounding Hader’s physical ability to handle
: a starter’s workload and his issues working past the fourth or
: fifth inning this season, it may very well be that Wei-Chung Wang
: has the best chance to become the next lefty fixture in the Brewers’
: starting rotation. Only time will tell, but there looks to still
: be a good chance to get some excellent value from a prospect whose
: future was in jeopardy just a short time ago.
在另一位新秀Hader好像无法胜任先发投手的工作量以及4、5局病的状况下,王似乎是
酒鬼农场左投的答案。不过时间还早,毕竟王之前也有一段挣扎期,也期待他能成长
更多。
