小熊当初交易来Jake Arrieta可是做足功课。总教练Rick Renteria、投手教练Chris
Bosio、农场老大Jaron Madison、总经理Jed Hoyer都参与这交易的讨论。看到无安打
比赛赛后Arrieta跟Chris Bosio紧紧拥抱,只能说良驹也得碰到伯乐赏赐才有机会出
头,没有Chris Bosio的调整,Jake Arrieta可能还在小联盟投球吧。Chris Bosio听
说是全联盟薪水前三高的投手教练。虽然不是每只投手都救得起来,但是成功率其实
不错了。Jason Hammel、Jeff Samardzija、Hector Rondon、Pedro Strop、Scott
Feldman都在他的手上有好成绩,尤其是Jason Hammel因为觉得Chris Bosio让他很舒
服,所幸干脆降薪回来芝加哥小熊队。
接下来就来看看暨Cliff Lee之后爆炸性成长的Jake Arrieta的变化:
投球位子:http://goo.gl/vHpSqF http://goo.gl/GWXJAz http://goo.gl/KyfMMX
Arrieta的投球动作并没有太大的变化。但是站位明显不同,跨步更偏向右打区
Curve spot 2013 2014
RHB, below zone 37% 58%
LHB, below zone 47% 60%
Slider spot 2013 2014
RHB, over plate 51% 69%
LHB, over plate 52% 70%
Fastball spot 2013 2014
RHB, inside 21% 42%
LHB, outside 48% 70%
以上是这个新站位带来的改变。
BTW,Jake Arrieta说他投的是滑球(改),速度跟卡特球有九成相似,
轨迹跟滑球也有九成相似。
(这是他投滑球(改)的动态图:http://goo.gl/2PLjQW。档案有点大就是了...)
球种使用:http://goo.gl/p0yzAS
滑球(改)大幅度增加。让我猜大概是Chris Bosio对这颗球种动了什么手脚。
因为Chris Bosio非常喜欢叫投手投卡特球
所以造就这颗速度可以冲到94mph的滑球(改).....
被害者证词
David Ross
“He’s definitely a different pitcher,” Ross said. “He may have moved
sides of the rubber. I’d have to check the video to see that. I just
remember seeing his ball a lot better [previously] than I did today. It was
definitely across [the zone]. It felt almost like he was throwing behind me
and locating down and away. That’s really tough to do. You ask any pitcher,
it’s probably one of the hardest things to do.
Ryan Zimmerman
“[Arrieta is] really tough on right handers. He’s right on the third-base
side of the rubber. It seems like the ball starts behind you,” Zimmerman
said.
一句到位翻译:从我屁股后面过来的球要怎么打!?

2014年的Jake Arrieta比今年更好,光无安打比赛就挑战三次以上...
