The right-handed Kennedy made his National League debut on Wednesday night against the San Diego Padres in Arizona. He gave up three runs (all in the second inning on a three-run homer to Scott Hairston) and six hits but showed big-league stuff by striking out eight batters. The key for Kennedy is clear: command the fastball. With a fastball in the 86-91 mph range, it sat right around 87-89 mph on Wednesday night. The majority of his eight strikeouts came on change-ups (four), followed by fastballs (three) and change-ups (one). This is encouraging because it shows that Kennedy had two out-pitches going on the night, which will really help him given his average fastball velocity. Kennedy宰制的關鍵：速球的控球 昨天他的球速在87-89MPH間 8K的球種分別是變速球(4個)、速球(3個)、然後又是變速球(1個) 這代表他有兩種不錯的武器來掩護他平均水準的速球 The bulk of his six hits allowed came on the fastball (four). Kennedy has thrown a slider in the past but I did not see much of one against the Padres; he utilized a fourth pitch, but it looked to be more of a cutter, which caused a number of lazy fly balls. In this game, his control looked better than his command and he was consistently around the strike zone. 6支安打大多是速球被打(4支) 曾經是主力的滑球並沒有用 好像有第四種球路─卡特 造成了很多鳥飛 丟好球的能力不錯 球大多坐落在好球帶邊緣 There are certainly some things to work on for his next start, which will likely come against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ powerful, yet youthful, lineup. Along with improving his fastball command, it would be nice to see Kennedy induce some more ground balls, and also be more economical with his pitches; He had thrown 82 (68% for strikes) after just four innings and finished with 94 pitches thrown. Fittingly, his final out of the game came on a strikeout of another promising, young player in Kyle Blanks. 下次將面對難纏的道奇打線 控球應是主要課題 以更好的控球來取得滾地出局使用球數精簡 本場到4局為止丟了82球(68%的好球率) 總計5局共用了94球 最後的出局數是三振掉Kyle Blanks Kennedy was removed for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning with the D-Backs trailing 3-1 in the game. It turned out to be a smart move, as pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal singled for Kennedy and later scored in the inning. The D-Backs tied the game up in the fifth and stormed back to win the game 5-3. FYI: Ryal hit was an opposite-field single, and the rookie had an impressive pinch-hit at-bat. 調度也是本場勝利的關鍵之一 代打Kennedy的Ryal打出安打 接著Johnson轟出本場第二發長球追平比數 最後以5:3贏球 Ryal代打的反方向安打令人印象深刻 --
