根據防守聖經的統計
去年最好的游擊手是Brendan Ryan，守下了18分
最差的游擊手是Derek Jeter，多丟了15分
Jeter防守差不是新聞，問題是，到底是差在哪?
“To the second base side — the side where more grounders are hit — the
average shortstop fielded 65 percent over that area. Interestingly, Ryan and
Jeter — the best and worst defensive shortstops in the league — had
essentially the same percentage. Ryan was league average, at 65, and Jeter
was at 64.
“Why did Jeter finish last at his position? Let’s look to other side of the
line and break it down [by segments]. On balls hit to the third
base-shortstop hole, MLB shortstops averaged 82 percent on balls hit to that
[nearest] 7-foot slice. Ryan was at 86 and Jeter was at 73. You go another 7
feet to the right and the average is 61, with Ryan at 78 and Jeter at 40. Go
another 7 feet and the average is 34 with Ryan at 56 and Jeter at 16. Go even
deeper in the hole, where the average is just 8 percent, Ryan is at 13 and
Jeter is at 0. He can’t make that play at all. Essentially, the whole
difference between the best and worst shortstops was on balls hit to their
right.”
往二壘方向的防區
Jeter的表現和Ryan所差無幾，都可以守住65%左右的球
但在三游防線就出現重大差異
在最接近的七呎區，Ryan可以守住86%，但Jeter就只能守住73%
再過去七呎，Ryan可以守住78%，而Jeter只有40%
再七呎，Ryan還有56%，Jeter只剩16%
在最遠的洞，Ryan還能守下13%，而Jeter已經進入0的領域
原來，最好和最差的游擊手的差異，是在於右邊處理球的能力阿
