Prospect of the Day: Steven Souza, OF, Washington Nationals http://0rz.tw/61rNd By John Sickels on Jun 24 2014, 10:59a Washington Nationals outfield prospect Steve Souza is on a tear at Triple-A Syracuse. He went 3-for-4 last night for the Chiefs, following up a 2-for-5 (with a home run) performance on June 22nd, and a 3-for-6 (with five RBI) outing on the 21st. He's been devastating this month, hitting .382/.467/.618 in June. 国民外野新秀Steve Souza在3A雪城大爆走。 23日晚上3-4，22日则是2-5包括一轰；21日3-6外加五打点。 他拥有压倒性的六月，三围.382/.467/.618。 Hell, he's been devastating all year as his complete season line of .363/.456/.567 shows. In addition to the power and OBP, he's got a nice BB/K ratio (33/43 in 237 plate appearances) and has stolen 12 bases in 17 attempts. He's also playing well defensively in both center and right field according to league observers. 哇靠，363/.456/.567这种三围根本就一整个球季都在大肆破坏。 除了炮瓦跟上垒率，他的BB/K比也很棒（237个打席33/43）， 17次盗垒成功12次。 根据联盟观察人员表示，他在CF与RF的防守也很好。 Souza leads the International League in OPS by 78 points over his nearest competitor (Gregory Polanco). He leads in SLG, OBP, and batting average. He has a juicy wRC+ of 188. He's been devastating against both left-handed (.995 OPS) and right-handed pitchers (1.033 OPS), both on the road (1.071) and at home (.969). Keep in mind that this is in the International League, a relatively neutral environment, not the high-offense Pacific Coast League. Souza的OPS是International League最高， 比第二名的Gregory Polanco多出.078。 他的三围全都是联盟第一，wRC+是可口的188。 不管左投（.995OPS）右投（1.033OPS）他都照扁不误， 也没在分客场（1.071OPS）还是主场（.969OPS）。 记得这是在环境中性的International League， 跟Pacific Coast League那种打者天堂可不一样。 Really the only thing that hasn't gone well was Souza's very brief big league trial, where he went just 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over eight games, hardly a fair test of his skills. 唯一一件没做得那麽好的就是他短暂的大联盟之旅， 八场比赛1-8吞下三次三振。 但这对他很难说算是公平的测试。 So who is this dude? 那麽谁才是蠢蛋？ Souza was a third round pick in 2007 from high school in Everett, Washington. Scouts have always loved his tools: he's very strong, with at least 60 power. He also has above-average speed and a strong throwing arm. His progress through the minors was slowed by injuries, trouble with his swing, a failed attempt to play third base, inadequate strike zone judgment, a PED suspension in 2010, and persistent questions from evaluators about his makeup. Souza是2007年第三轮从华盛顿州Everett的高中被选进， 球探一直很爱他的tools，他很强壮，炮瓦至少60， 也有above-average的速度跟强大臂力。 他的小联盟生涯受到伤痛，挥棒不佳，无法胜任三垒， 糟糕的好球带识别能力与2010年的禁药问题所拖累； 另外也包括一直以来备受质疑的情绪控管能力。 However, he seemed to get his life in some measure of order in 2012 and has been blasting the ball ever since, posting a .297/.366/.572 line in A-ball in '12, a 161 wRC+ (slash line .300/.396/.557 with 20 steals) in Double-A in 2013, and the aforementioned destruction of Triple-A this year. His approach at the plate has improved greatly compared to earlier in his career, and the tools have always been there. 然而他的生活从2012年开始拉回正轨，与此同时他也能把球打得更紮实。 同年1A打出.297/.366/.572，161wRC+； 隔年在2A则缴出.300/.396/.557外加20次盗垒成功。 接着就跟前面说到的一样，今年彻底摧毁3A。 他的打击策略与生涯早期相比有长足长进， 而tools一直都摆在那。 At age 25 he isn't young as prospects go, but he's not ancient either and is still two years younger than the average denizen of the International League. I don't know how the Nationals intend to use him, but they stuck with him through some difficult times due to his potential and it looks like that potential is now being realized. 对一个新秀来说25岁已经不年轻了。 但他也还不算老，比International League平均年龄还低两岁。 我不知道国民打算怎麽用他，但看到他现在的表现出潜能後， 可以理解为什麽国民在困难的时刻依旧不愿放弃他。 If he continues his present path, Souza will be of interest both to Nationals fans and fantasy owners due to his power/speed potential. 如果他持续目前的表现，基於他的炮瓦与速度潜力， Souza对国民粉丝与FB玩家都会是很有意思的选项。 --
