Strasburg tosses first live batting practice Teammates impressed with top pick's 'heavy' two-seamer By Bill Ladson / MLB.com http://ppt.cc/MWK3 VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg threw live batting practice on Saturday, tossing more than 35 pitches in 12 minutes. Outfielders Roger Bernadina and Willy Taveras, infielder Eric Bruntlett and catcher Derek Norris were all in the batting cage when Strasburg, 21, was on the mound, but they didn't swing the bat. The hitters were just tracking pitches. The way Norris was talking about Strasburg, it looked like the hitters would have had problems swinging the bats anyway. The righty has a two-seam fastball that appears like it will be hard to hit. "That was actually my first time getting in the box against him. I caught him a few times," Norris said. "Being in the box is a completely different thing. A lot of the pitches he threw were real heavy. His two-seamer is real heavy. I thought it was incredible behind the plate, but it's more difficult even standing in the box. He is going to be something special." Catcher Devin Ivany caught Strasburg in the bullpen and during batting practice. Ivany said Strasburg was consistent during both sessions. "He has effortless stuff," Ivany said. "It comes out pretty good. It's a heavy ball and it's going to be tough to hit. The thing that I saw about him is, usually the young guys have the control of the straight stuff, but he started moving the ball with the two-seamer and curveball. He was able to control that, too. It's put him ahead of the curve." The Nationals have tentatively scheduled Strasburg to make his Spring Training debut on March 9 against the Tigers at Space Coast Stadium. Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, is expected to pitch two innings or throw 30 to 40 pitches. "It's exciting," Strasburg said. "It's going to be the first outing of Spring Training. I'm ready for it. I'm excited to go out there and face some hitters in a game. I still have some work to do and want to keep working hard up to that outing and for the entire season. "Not one outing is going to make a difference. This is something I want to do as a career. You are going to take your beatings every now and then. Hopefully, more times than not, you go out there and get the job done." Asked what he still needs to work on, Strasburg said, "It's continually working hard in the weight room as long as you push yourself to the max every single day. I have to prepare mentally every single day. That's the real important thing. You can't take days off mentally." -- 本来想试试看翻译的 但心有余而力不足 下面有台媒翻好的 请各位将就着看一下 -- MLB／有建仔味道！　队友赞小史二缝线直球质重 记者黄桦君／综合报导 http://www.nownews.com/2010/02/28/341-2574409.htm 华盛顿国民队「超级状元」史特拉斯堡（Stephen Strasburg），今日（28日）首度面对 打者练投，表现受到好评，连队友都称赞他二缝线直球质量很重，颇有新队友、同样擅投 「保龄球」等级二缝线王建民的味道。 小史今天是受邀参加春训以来首度面对打者，12分钟练投35球，但4名队友仅观察小史的 球路，并没有出棒，队友诺瑞斯（Derek Noris）说：「小史的二缝线直球真的很重，看 来很难掌握击球点，他的表现很值得期待。」 负责接小史投球的捕手艾分尼（Davin Ivany）说：「他投的很棒，二缝线够重，还投了 些曲球，重点是这些球路他都控制的非常好。」先前春训牛棚练投，与小史搭配的老捕手 ，今年改穿国民球衣的I-ROD就对小史赞誉有加，认为他的身手已经是大联盟等级，相当 看好他有出色的表现。 国民队预计在3月9号出战底特律老虎的练习赛，安排小史登板投球，预计投2局或者30到 40球。听到球队对自己的计画，小史感到相当兴奋，「我已经准备好了，很期待上场面对 不同的打者的挑战。」 去年新人选秀会上，国民队拥有选秀的状元签，最後以4年1510万美元合约签下快速球可 飙破160公里的小史，就是期待小史能扮演球队未来的王牌投手。因此即使I-ROD认为小史 已可在大联盟出赛，球队还是打算今年让他从小联盟起步，十足保护小史。 被问到如何调整自己面对高张力的大联盟环境，小史说：「除了每天到重量训练室，我每 天都会调整自己的心理状态，我认为那是最重要的，每天都不能省略调整心理素质的重要 性。」 --
