Justin Verlander on When He'd Like to Retire: 'Right Now, I'm Thinking 45'
何時退休？ Verlander: 我想投到45歲
Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander is enjoying the best year of his MLB
career, so it's little surprise the 2011 American League MVP and Cy Young
winner envisions pitching well into his 40s.
休士頓太空人王牌投手Verlander現在正在享受他目前MLB的生涯年，所以當這位2011年美
聯賽揚獎投手想像他到40+的時候投球一樣穩健並不意外。
"In my head, right now, I'm thinking 45," the 35-year-old Verlander said of
when he may retire, per MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi. "I don't know if that's
realistic. I'm going to go as long as I can, until something changes."
「現在在我的腦海裡，我是預期到45歲，」35歲的Verlander跟記者講到他何時退休。「
我不知道這樣的想法是不是很實際，我會一直投下去，直到事情有變化。」
Verlander is well on his way toward a second Cy Young Award based on his
start to the 2018 season. He leads all qualified pitchers in WAR (3.2), per
FanGraphs, and he's pitching better than he did during his best years with
the Detroit Tigers.
Verlander今年的表現很有可能再拿下一座賽揚獎。他在WAR的數據方面領先，他甚至比他
在底特律老虎投的還要好。
Through 12 starts, Verlander is 7-2 with a 1.11 ERA and a 2.21 FIP, per
FanGraphs. He's also averaging 10.8 strikeouts and 1.7 walks per nine
innings, both of which are on pace to be career bests.
12次先發，7-2，ERA 1.11，FIP 2.12，平均九局可以拿下10.8個三振，保送只有1.7個，
兩項數據都是生涯最佳。
Playing until age 45 is a lofty goal but one that is attainable. Randy
Johnson and Roger Clemens both retired after turning 45, while Nolan Ryan was
46 when he made his final MLB start.
投到45歲或許是個困難的目標，但不是不可能達成。Randy Johnson跟Roger Clemens都是
在45歲才退休，Nolan Ryan甚至投到46歲。
Health will be a big factor in whether Verlander can pitch another 10 years.
He told Morosi he thought his career was in jeopardy because he felt
discomfort in his throwing arm during a start in August 2014. But Verlander
avoided major surgery, and he recounted how he approached the subsequent
offseason with a different mindset.
健康狀況會是Verlander能不能再戰10年的主要因素，Verlander跟記者說在2014年時，他
投球的手臂有些不適，他本來以為他的投球生涯要完蛋了。但是，Verlander沒動大手
術，然後他講到隔年休賽季的時候他如何調適。
"I learned a ton about my body and maintenance," Verlander said. "Now I take
it upon myself to maintain everything that I gained in that offseason. If
some kinks in the chain pop up along the way, I'll call [physical therapist
Annie Gow] and talk to her. I'll address it myself. I know a lot of my
weaknesses. I address them almost daily, to try to keep on top of it.
Obviously, I got into that position [before]. I want to stay away from going
back."
「我學到了很多如何維持我身體健康的知識，」Verlander說。「現在我會把那年休賽季
所學到的都用上，如果出了甚麼樣的狀況，我會打電話給我的物理治療師，跟她討論，我
會把狀況都列出來。我最知道我自己身體的弱點在哪裡，我每天都會提醒自己，然後特別
注意那些狀況。很明顯的，我以前搞砸過，現在我只想避免同樣的狀況再發生。」
Since becoming an everyday MLB player in 2006, Verlander has made 30-plus
starts in 11 out of 12 seasons. Combine that durability with his continued
dominance, and pitching until he's 45 isn't out of the question.
從2006年正式踏入MLB，12年內，Verlander在11個賽季先發30+場，有這樣的宰制力以及維
持健康狀態，投到45歲對Verlander來說並非遙不可及。
