When the Nationals drafted Bryce Harper, they immediately moved him out from
behind the plate and stuck him in right field.
選來Harper後,國民立刻將他的守位從捕手轉換至中外野
It's possible Harper could have stayed behind the plate, but the length of time
for him to reach the majors along with the extra developmental time to learn
how to approach being a catcher defensively was deemed too much.
Harper還是有可能繼續蹲捕,但是讓他學習如何當一個好捕手所需的時間,太久了
Except now the Nationals are blocked at right field after the signing of Jayson
Werth to a seven-year deal. That doesn't jive with Harper's timetable, with
Washington expecting him to take just two years to rocket through the farm as
an 18-year-old. As a result, it's likely the Nationals will shift him to
another position, which could end up being center field. That works just fine
for Harper, according to MLB.com.
國民砸大錢簽下了Werth,但這並不影響Harper的時程表。國民預計Harper只需要兩年的
時間便可以一路直衝大聯盟,屆時可能將他放在中外野
"I'm not sure where I will play," Harper said. "I think I play center field
better than I do anywhere else. I have enough speed and enough reaction to know
where the ball goes off the bat. Being around [Nationals minor league
instructor] Tony Tarasco and my dad, who played center field, has been a big
help for me. Whether it's left, center or right, I will play anywhere the
Nationals need me."
Haper:要我守哪都好,但是我想中外野會是比較好的選擇。我超輕快、反應夠好,可以
預測來球的方向。身為中外野手的指導員Tarasco和我的老豆,帶給我不少的幫助
As Harper readies for his first full professional season, he knows exactly what
he needs to work on after dipping his toe in the waters while part of the taxi
squad for his team in the Arizona Fall League.
在離開AFL後,面對即將到來的第一個完整職業球季,Harper知道自己該做些什麼
"I want to go out there, try to get better, learn from all the big league guys,
see how they approach the game and how they go about their business," Harper
notes. "I want to get better in the outfield. ... That is my main goal. I want
to see what opposing pitchers will do and how they will throw to hitters like
Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth.
Harper:我想要變得更棒,從每一位大聯盟球員身上汲取經驗。我的主要目標放在精進外
野的防守功夫,也想了解敵隊投手會怎樣面對我,如同他們面對Zimmy或是Werth
般
"There are a lot of things that I write down
