Hamilton reportedly will start in Cincy
Speedster will bat leadoff and patrol center field Opening Day


Cincinnati speedster Billy Hamilton lit up the base paths as a pinch-runner
during his September callup this fall.
Now the Reds reportedly are prepared to incorporate the Minor League's
stolen-base king into their Opening Day roster as their starting center
fielder and leadoff hitter.
Billy Hamilton在紅人隊紅雀開幕戰當天會擔當先發一棒與先發中外野手!!
With the uncertainty created by Shin-Soo Choo's departure to Texas, Reds GM
Walt Jocketty told the Cincinnati Enquirer that MLB.com's No. 16 prospect
will be penciled into the top slot in the lineup when the team hosts the St.
Louis Cardinals on March 31.
"He's the guy," Jocketty said. "We feel confident he can be a good leadoff
hitter. He'll give us great defense. The only question is how often he can
get on base. He'll start working on his bunting again after the first of the
year. If he can master that, it will really help him."
他有好防守好速度 所以問題在他要如何上壘 所以他會好好練短打
說瞎應該會開心(誤
The 23-year-old converted shortstop swiped 13 bags in 14 attempts in 13 games
with the big club this year. In 2012, Hamilton stole 155 bases across two
levels to surpass Vince Coleman's 29-year-old single-season Minors record of
145.
Choo, who earned around $7.3 million, hit .285 with 21 homers, 54 RBIs and 20
steals in 154 games with the Reds. The 30-year-old drew 112 free passes to
help record a career-high .423 on-base percentage, leading to a reported
seven-year $130-million deal with the Rangers last week.
這邊簡短的說了一下被簽走的秋信守
"I didn't get to play with [Choo] the whole year, but I watched him whenever
I had the chance while I was at Triple-A," Hamilton told MLB.com earlier this
month.
"That's going to be big shoes to fill, but I feel like I can keep working at
it and it will come."
Billy說：我沒什麼機會跟秋一起打球，但是我在AAA的時候，只要我有機會我都有注意他
現在他走了，那裡有個大洞需要我去補，我會持續努力直到我能補上那洞
Now entering his sixth year in pro ball, Hamilton has impressed teammates and
opponents alike with blazing speed that has often been compared with Rickey
Henderson. His work in the field has also seen growth. He posted a .980
fielding percentage in the International League in 2013. He made seven errors
in 348 chances and he recorded eight outfield assists.
Hamilton守備有進步
But Hamilton's success and longevity will largely depend on his ability to
hit and get on base. The top Reds prospect batted .368 in 19 at-bats with the
Reds this year, but he only amassed a .256/.308/.343 slash line in 123
appearances with Triple-A Louisville.
他還是要有打擊才能站穩大檸檬，雖然他今年在MLB 19打席有.368
但他在AAA只有.256/.308/.343
The Reds moved Hamilton to the outfield at the end of the 2012 Minor League
season to give him a chance to learn his routes and outfield reads during the
Arizona Fall League.
The idea was to lessen the toll on his body of playing shortstop in the hope
that Hamilton, selected by the Reds out of Taylorsville High School in
Mississippi in the second round of the 2009 Draft, would avoid injury and
lengthen his career.

最後面應該是大聯盟19打席.368才對 ?

等著看摸小弟狙擊

摸小弟:絕對 會抓到你的

矛盾大對決!!!

借轉FB板!

這支好有趣 讓人重溫棒球場上的傳統好戲

打擊率是其次 上壘率比較重要 他只要能上壘就夠了...

簽名檔好好笑XD

一場上壘一次對方就頭痛了

這種上壘率擺一棒？

以前薩克斯就很常把上壘率不高的擺第一棒了，沒想到他

他只要上一壘 就跟打二安沒啥兩樣XD (二壘沒人的話

就看他能不能把OBP撐到.34吧 有.34的話至少超過聯盟

平均 (不過當年的Ellsbury都不只這個值了)

順帶一提 09年紅人讓一個OBP不到.28的打了一半場次的一棒 Hamilton不至於比這傢伙還不會上壘

他有這種腿，上壘率衝高就夠了，剩下靠腿

渡久地表示：

WATCH OUT

以為是Corey Patterson 結果他是在08年打

那年Patterson當了35場比賽的一棒 上壘率只有.217

他不擺一棒前面上壘他就不能盜了

想衝高就衝喔 太天真了

以後對紅人最好的策略:IBB第九棒(大誤

樓上好聰明XDDDDDDDDD

89棒都弱棒其中還有投手

趕快去找 Henderson & Pierre 拜師

Josh<->Billy雙贏

obp 3a才.308 mlb低於.28應該是很有可能才對

上壘率三成的腿哥...

突然想到PA才是打席 AB是打數 ~"~
