http://ussmariner.com/?p=2478 Dave Cameron今天谈到M.Olivo，这位去年在F.Garcia的交易中来水手报到的捕手， 来到水手之前，他是个.270/.316/.496 EqA.269的打者，OBP也许有点低，可是SLG很吸 引人吧!! 除了03年的新人球季，Olivo每一年的打击数据都支撑着他不是弱棒的事实， 在小联盟1595个AB，Olivo是个.285/.355/.462的打者。 可是自从交易到水手之後，Olivo的打击只剩下.195/.240/.356，如果只算去年9月 到现在的105个AB，Olivo仅仅.133/.172/.200，BB/SO惨到只有5/32，这个成绩差不多 跟投手平均一样，Olivo倒底纯粹只是陷入低潮还是另有原因？ 以下是Cameron和两个从03年就开始关察Olivo的scout之外的对话: Dave: Well, let’s start off with a little background. Can Miguel Olivo hit major league pitching? Scout A: Yea, I think so. He’s an aggressive hitter–you’d call him a hack, I think–but he’s got bat speed, and there’s juice in his swing. He can catch up with major league fastballs and turn on pitches on the inner half. With his catch-and-throw skills, you don't need him to hit like Piazza, but I think he’s an asset with the bat, too. Scout B: Definitely. He was hitting really well for Chicago last spring. He killed (our lefties). Anything inside that doesn’t jam him, he can pull with ease. Really quick hands. Physically, you have to like the package he brings to the plate. He’s got 60 power (on a 20-80 where 50 is league average), which is rare for a catcher. He’s always taken a while to adjust to new places, but the key is he always has. There’s offensive talent in that kid. 和我们的期待一样，防守上他能在当个好捕手，而且在打击上能贡献还不错的power。 Dave: Okay, so he can hit. So why has he been so awful since the trade? Scout A: I was talking to (a White Sox official) and they said the kid cried when they told him he’d been traded. It sounds like he took it more as “the White Sox don’t want me”. Getting traded from Oakland for a triple-a middle reliever (Chad Bradford) earlier in his career, it sounds like he saw this as another organization giving up on him. Mentally, I think he decided that he was doing something wrong, since he kept getting traded. So he started changing things that weren’t broken. Scout B: Look at his career. This isn’t the first time he’s gone somewhere new and forgotten how to hit. It seemed like everytime Oakland promoted him up a level, he’d leave his bat behind and have to repeat the league. He was a pretty easy out his rookie year in Chicago, too. For whatever reason, he’s not a quick adapter. He always needs a couple hundred at-bats to learn how to hit in a new city. 是因为心态上的问题还是Olivo本身就需要一段时间适应新环境？ Dave: From my point of view, it seems like Olivo is trying to pull every pitch on every swing, making him easy to pitch on the outside half of the plate. Has he always been like this? Scout A: He’s always been a pull-guy, but never like right now. He’s throwing his arms out and aiming his head towards the foul pole. We tell our guys to throw him nothing but breaking balls away, because with the way he’s trying to hit everything past the third baseman, there’s no way he’s going to reach that pitch. Scout B: He did a nice job of going to right field on fastballs away last year with Chicago. He knows how, but right now, it seems like he’s not trying. He’s not making any adjustments. We threw him the same pitch in the same count four times in a row, and he swung and missed all four times. He definitely is too pull-conscious right now. Dave: Okay, so if you’re Don Baylor, how do you fix him? Scout A: Throw him a thousand curveballs a day. He has to learn how to recognize offspeed pitches. He doesn’t have to hit them. He just has to learn to see that its a curve ball and not swing. Nobody in this league throws him a curve for a strike, because the book is out. He’ll chase the hook in the dirt, so there’s no reason to risk leaving one up for him to drive. Until he stops swinging at that pitch at his toes, he’s an automatic out. Scout B: Make him go the other way. Do whatever it takes to make sure he understands that he can’t pull every pitch, especially soft stuff. He has to hit the ball to right field. As long as he’s trying to rip every pitch down the line, he’s an out. And have patience. He’s always come around after a few hundred at-bats. Don’t give up on the kid. He’ll come around. 打击上Olivo显得完全没有耐心而且无脑，所以这才是他打击问题的所在？Baylor真 该对Olivo的外角多下点功夫想办法改善现在的状况。 最後两个scout认为Olivo还有救，只要Olivo在打击策略上做点调整，而不是继续盲 目的把球往左外野拉。 -- 不久前有一个人，他来看我，送我一埕酒，叫醉生梦死酒。 他说人最大的烦恼，就是记忆太好，如果能一切都忘了， 以後每一天都将会是新的一天。 --
