When the Nationals drafted Bryce Harper, they immediately moved him out from
behind the plate and stuck him in right field.
选来Harper后,国民立刻将他的守位从捕手转换至中外野
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还是有可能继续蹲捕,但是让他学习如何当一个好捕手所需的时间,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.
国民砸大钱签下了Werth,但这并不影响Harper的时程表。国民预计Harper只需要两年的
时间便可以一路直冲大联盟,届时可能将他放在中外野
"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,但是我想中外野会是比较好的选择。我超轻快、反应够好,可以
预测来球的方向。身为中外野手的指导员Tarasco和我的老豆,带给我不少的帮助
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.
在离开AFL后,面对即将到来的第一个完整职业球季,Harper知道自己该做些什么
"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:我想要变得更棒,从每一位大联盟球员身上汲取经验。我的主要目标放在精进外
野的防守功夫,也想了解敌队投手会怎样面对我,如同他们面对Zimmy或是Werth
般
"There are a lot of things that I write down
