“Framing is a term that is totally overused — I don’t like to call it
framing,” Lucroy told me before a game against San Francisco this week, “I
like to call it receiving.” The problem with calling it framing seems to be
that people associate the term with “college crap” like trying to bring the
ball back into the strike zone. If you remove that idea from the equation, ‘
receiving’ is very simple according to the Brewers’ catcher: “I try to
catch a ball and stop it. I don’t try to make a ball look like a strike, I
try to catch the ball and stop it the best I can and give the umpire a good
look.”
Lucroy: "'裱'是一个被过度使用的词 我不喜欢这样说 我比较喜欢说'接球' '裱'感觉
像是会和把那种把坏球拉回好球混为一谈 我试着接到球然后停住 我不会试着让坏球
看起来像好球 我把球稳稳接住让裁判好判断"
Now that we defined the skill better, I asked him what made a good framer. “
The less movement you have, the more likely he’s going to call it a strike,”
Lucroy said. If your glove moves around, or your body lunges after the
pitch, or even your head is on a swivel — these things make the pitch look
like it didn’t hit the target.
如何接好球? "愈少尾劲就愈容易得到好球 如果手套动来动去 或是身体晃了一下 或是
转头一下 这会让球看起来没投进目标"
Another important aspect is angle. Like Jason Castro pointed out to us
before, the catcher’s angle to the plate is a big deal. Lucroy agreed: “If
you scoot to one side of the plate and turn your body a little, the more the
umpire can see, and the more the umpire can see over your shoulder, the more
likely he’s going to give you that pitch because he can see it better.” And
this is something that Lucroy has added during his time in the major leagues.
角度 "如果站住本垒板一边然后身体微微转向 让裁判有更多视野 他就更可能把球看得
清楚而买帐"
