Who is he??? Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn 有印象了吧 http://ppt.cc/_gPP http://ppt.cc/pUHi 先来听首歌吧 : ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa0v08XY2G8 他是1989年电影 Major League里的角色(1994年出续集) Fernando Rodney's 2012 season is redefining relief domination. The veteran flamethrower is turning into the real life version of Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, transforming from a wild pitcher who never harnessed his stuff into one of the surest ninth innings in baseball. Rodney will carry a 38 FIP- and an incredible 11 ERA- into his next appearance. It's only 22.2 innings, but Rodney would need to walk 25 batters and allow 15 runs in his next 9.1 innings to equal his totals from 32 innings last season. Rodney 2012年的赛季重新定义了RP的优势 这位火球男就像Ricky Vaughn一样，从一位不会控球的投手成为最可靠的CL 他的FIP-是38 ERA-是惊人的11 (对照组:Jim Johnson FIP-:90;ERA-:22 Aroldis Chapman: FIP-:14 ERA-:0) 假设Rodney要回到去年水准 他在接下来的9.1局内要保送25人 然後掉15分 Ricky Vaughn didn't find the strike zone until manager Lou Brown discovered that his fireballer needed glasses. It's unclear if Joe Maddon, pitching coach Jim Hickey or some other Rays coach is the Lou Brown in Rodney's story, but Rodney definitely has his own version of Vaughn's glasses this season. Observe, Rodney's release point in 2012, compared to 2011: http://ppt.cc/j6MA Ricky Vaughn到Lou Brown(电影里翻"路" 是总教练)发现他的火球需要一副眼镜 才总算找到好球带 现在不清楚是Joe Maddon(俗称:西瓜)和投手教练Jim Hickey还是其他教练 在Rodney的故事中扮演Lou的脚色，但是似乎他找到了跟Vaughn一样的眼镜!!! 来看看他的放球点吧 Although most release point changes come from changes in arm angle, that isn't the case here. Instead — as was first pointed out by former FanGraphs author R.J. Anderson over at Baseball Prospectus — Rodney has shifted on the rubber: http://ppt.cc/yd8W 虽然放球点的变化 大部分是来自於手臂的角度的改变 但是Rodney的不同 R.J. Anderson这位仁兄发现他站的位子移动了 The real change for Rodney has been tremendous control — although an 8.74 K/9 is solid, it's only half a point above his career average. It's the three walks in 22.2 innings that's completely new, as he's never even ran a BB/9 less than three in his career. It's tough to draw a direct line between his mound shift and his control, but the results are stark. Specifically, he almost never misses off the inside corner any more with his fastball. Take a look at the difference between 2012 and 2011 (all graphics from catcher’s viewpoint): http://ppt.cc/brtk Rodney真正的改变是他惊人的控球(目前8.74的K/9 只比他生涯高出0.5) 22.2局内"只"丢了3个BB 而且重点是他生涯的BB/9 从来就没有小於3过! 虽然他在投手板上站位的移动跟控球之间的关系很难直接画上等号，但是结果很惊人 他几乎没有对打者投出内角近身球，来看看他2012年跟2011年的不同 (图是从捕手的视角) The highlighted sections denote pitches inside to lefties and righties. There are a good number of pitches inside these zones, particularly to righties. 画红色框框的地方是左打者跟右打者的内角 你可以看到他投了很多的内角球 特别是对右打者 Fast forward to 2012: http://ppt.cc/A_,@ 看看2012年的 Rodney has thrown about half as many pitches and two-thirds as many innings as he did last year with the Angels — but he has managed to almost completely avoid these zones inside, off the plate where he returned to so frequently last season. Even the inner thirds, over the plate, are significantly more empty this season. He seems to be making a distinct effort to throw to the outer half of the plate — and unlike in previous seasons — he's actually been able to consistently hit his spots. Rodney目前跟去年比 投了接近一半的球数跟2/3的局数 但是他避免了投到内角 甚至投到三坏球的机会也少了 他做了很多的努力投到外角(好球带外) 而且他真的比较能控制球到一定的位置 Chances are that Rodney's shift on the mound is but a small piece of a larger reworking of the way he pitches. But much like Rick Vaughn's spectacular spectacles, it is by far the most noticeable. This is not just the same Fernando Rodney who could never hit his spots simply showing up and magically popping the zone again and again. The Rays have changed something fundamental about Rodney's approach, and now at age 35, he's showing the stuff that makes him among the best relief pitchers in the league. Rodney在投手丘上的站位移动跟他投球之间的关系应该不大(但是应该有相关) 就像Rick Vaughn的眼镜一样 是最容易被发现的 现在的Rodney已经不像之前那个常常找不到好球带的他 光芒一定有对他的投球做出一些修正及改变 35岁的他正展现他的stuff 成为联盟中顶尖的投手 ====== 感觉很多东西可以来探讨Rodney的投球 就进阶数据来看 O-Swing% 37.7% (生涯26.2%) O-Contact% 58.7% (生涯59.2%) Z-Swing% 54.4% (生涯63.3%) 但这跟去年差不多 Z-Contact% 76.5% (生涯81.0%) Contact% 68.8% (生涯74.6%) SwStr% 14.0% (生涯11.2%) 整个人都不一样@@ 何况他BB少了3倍..... 当然我觉得J.Molina的接补跟主审好球带似乎也有相关性 成绩可能会上修 但是要回到过去BB连发的Rodney 好像不太可能 是 光芒灵气 吗??? ====== --
