Soto voted NL's top rookie in August
Soto獲選國聯的八月最佳新秀
For months that begin with the letter "A," Geovany Soto is truly the
people's choice.
在以"A"開頭的月份中(四月April,八月August),Soto無疑地是最好的選擇。
The Cubs catcher has been selected as Gillette's Rookie of the Month for
August in the National League after capturing that same award in April.
As a workhorse catcher for a first-place ballclub, Soto has been a constant
ingredient in Chicago's success and voters continue to recognize the impact
that Soto has been making offensively and defensively while handling the
Cubs pitching staff. Soto will receive another Rookie of the Month trophy
and Gillette will make a $5,000 donation to a charitable organization in
Soto's name.
Soto繼四月後再度拿下八月國聯最佳新秀。身為排名首位球隊的重要補手,Soto一直
是小熊成功的要素之一,而投票者也持續認可Soto在進攻上以及防守上領導投手群的
影響力。Soto將會領到又一次的單月最佳新秀,Gillette也會以Soto的名字捐5000美
元給一家慈善機構。
Soto was selected over National League nominees Chris Perez of the
Cardinals, Jeff Samardzija of the Cubs and Ian Stewart of the Rockies.
Soto擊敗了紅雀的Chris Perez、洛基的Ian Stewart和隊友Jeff Samardzija。
In a month when starting catchers traditionally wear down from the grind
of a long season, Soto was an extraordinary exception. He hit .355 in
August with five doubles, three homers and 21 RBIs. Soto drew 13 walks and
scored 17 runs during the month.
在一個球隊先發補手通常因為長期比賽的勞累而表現下滑的月份中,Soto是一個特殊
的例外。他在八月擊出了0.355打擊率,5隻二壘安打,3隻全壘打和21分打點,也選到
了13次保送和跑回17分。
Soto's durability at a tough position has been one of his greatest assets.
Through August, he had made 124 starts. The only catchers in the National
League who had played more were Russell Martin of the Dodgers and Jason
Kendall of the Brewers.
Soto在一個辛苦守備位置的持久表現是他最優秀的資產之一。到八月為止,他先發了
124場比賽。在國聯只有道奇的Russell Martin和釀酒人的Jason Kendall比他多。
Soto's energy continues to help fuel the Cubs as they close in on an NL
Central title.
Soto的能量持續幫助小熊接近國聯中區的冠軍。
"It gets to the point where you get home and you're like, 'Wow, I could
have worked harder,'" Soto said. "I've got four months to just rest [in
the offseason]. You're not going to take it all to rest, but if you rest
a week, two weeks, three weeks, all of a sudden you feel all better."
「重點是當你到家你會覺得『哇~我應該可以更努力的』」(亂翻...)Soto說。「我
(在季後)有四個月可以好好休息。當然,不會全部拿來休息,但當你休息了一個、
兩個、三個禮拜後,你會突然感覺好多了。」
Soto's signature offensive night during the month came on Aug. 26 in
Pittsburgh, when he racked up seven RBIs in the Cubs' 14-9 victory. Soto
had a homer and a pair of three-run doubles. He became the first Cubs
player to have seven RBIs in a game since Aramis Ramirez accomplished the
feat on Sept. 18, 2006.
Soto在8/26作客海盜的比賽中有傑出的進攻表現,他在球隊14比9的勝利中打下了7分
打點。Soto擊出了1隻HR和2隻3分打點的二壘安打。他成為2006/09/18 Aramis Ramirez
以來第一位單場7打點的小熊球員。
"I just tried to stay on the ball and tried not to do too much, and have
good at-bats for my team," Soto said after the big RBI night.
「我只是持續緊盯著球並試著不要想太多,且為球隊作出好的打擊。」Soto說。
The other NL nominees also turned in noteworthy performances for August.
其他國聯候選人在八月也有亮眼的表現。
Perez had six saves in eight appearances, while emerging as the Cardinals'
closer. Samardzija worked 14 1/3 innings out of the Cubs bullpen and didn't
allow a run. He was 1-0 for the month with 13 strikeouts. Stewart hit .295
in August with five homers, 20 RBIs, 28 hits, 18 runs scored and 17 walks.
Perez在8次出賽中拿下6次救援成功,儼然成為紅雀的closer。Samardzija為小熊牛棚
貢獻14.1局的0失分,拿下1勝並投出13次三振。Stewart八月打擊率0.295,5隻全壘打
、打點20、安打28隻、跑回18分並拿到17個BB。

捕手通常是很難一開始就出頭的位置,不容易啊

捕手要撞牆撞到受傷應該也不容易

四樓說的應該是指"撞牆期"
