On Saturday June 24th, the Boston Red Sox promoted infielder Tzu-Wei Lin to
the major league roster. He appeared in both the Saturday and Sunday contests
against the Los Angeles Angels but has yet to collect an at-bat. Let’s see
what he offers for the future.
Lin was signed by the Red Sox as a free agent out of Taiwan in 2012,
receiving a large bonus of $2,050,000. At the time he was projected as a
strong defensive player with a chance to hit for average. He did not hit much
at the lower levels, just .226 in the New York-Penn League in 2013 and .229
in the South Atlantic League in 2014 without much in the way of power or
special on-base skills.
He improved in the Carolina League in 2015, hitting .281/.333/.367, but
slumped again on promotion to Double-A Portland in 2016, sagging to a
.223/.287/.293 mark. He was hitting much better on a return engagement to
Portland before his promotion to the majors, hitting .302/.379/.491 with 20
walks and 27 strikeouts in 159 at-bats. This is the best stretch of sustained
production in his entire career.
Lin is listed at 5-9, 160, a left-handed hitter born February 15th, 1994. As
anticipated, his glove has turned out quite well: he has the range, hands,
reliability and arm strength to be a quality shortstop. He’s also seen time
at second and third base to enhance his versatility, and has even performed
well in limited action in center field.
He runs well and is a stolen base threat but has never hit much before this
year. Past scouting reports noted a mechanically sound swing and a decent
batting eye but an extreme lack of power held him back. Until the last few
months he looked like a utility player as a result. He’s already hit five
homers this spring, a career high.
Lin is only 23 and it is possible he just needed to mature physically. That
said, 48 games in Double-A isn’t really enough to over-ride the last five
years and it would be nice to see what would happen in Triple-A before
pushing him into a larger major league role.
All things considered, Lin is certainly in the roster picture due to his
defense and if the surge in hitting is real, he could be more than a bench
guy. Keep an eye on him.
基本上就是在說林子偉2012年拿了205萬鎂簽約金，當初評價是很好的防守加上有機會長出
一定的打擊能力
2013跟2014年在短期1A跟1A打得很糟，沒有power也沒有好的上壘技巧
2015年在高階1A有點爆發但升上2A之後又開始撞牆，直到今年才打出不錯的成績
林子偉的防守發展得很好，有能力成為好的游擊手，也加練了二三壘跟中外野增加自己的
功能性
他一直都跑得很快，是個盜壘威脅，但打擊在今年以前都不夠好，過去的球探報告認為他
揮棒跟選球不錯但是極度欠缺力量，幾個月前他看起來最好就是個工具人，不過他今年已
經打了生涯新高的五轟
林子偉只有23歲所以他需要的可能只是等到身材成熟，不過48場2A比賽的樣本數不見得足
夠，可以觀察一下他之後被下放回小聯盟的表現
考量到林子偉的防守，他未來在大聯盟會有一席之地，如果他的打擊是真貨，就不會只是
個板凳球員，繼續注意他
大概是這樣吧
