每日新秀：Chad Bettis
Prospect of the Day: Chad Bettis, RHP, Colorado Rockies
By John Sickels on Aug 22 2013, 11:55a
Rookie right-hander Chad Bettis has a chance to position himself for a key
role on the Rockies big league staff in 2014.
The Colorado Rockies will send rookie starting pitcher Chad Bettis to the mound
tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. He was roughed up in his last start
against the Baltimore Orioles back in August 17th, giving up eight runs in 2.2
innings, although only two of those runs were earned. He has four starts under
his belt since being promoted to the major leagues earlier this month: two
starts went well, and two didn't, resulting in a 5.30 ERA in 18.2 innings to
begin his career. With the Rockies out of the pennant race and looking to the
future, they have nothing to lose by putting Bettis in the rotation. Let's see
what they may get out of him.
洛矶队的新秀投手将要先发面对费城费城人(译按：原文刊出时还未比赛)。
他的上一场先发并不顺利，八月十七队上金莺的比赛中，他只投了 2.2 局就丢了八分，
尽管当中只有两分自责。他在大联盟已经有四次先发，两场表现不错而另外两场不行，
总合 18.2 局自责分率 5.30 。洛机已经季后赛无望而要展望未来的此时，他们不用担
心继续让 Bettis 先发对成绩的影响，我们来看看这名新秀吧。
Bettis pitched college baseball at Texas Tech. He struggled somewhat as a
freshman in 2008 (6.75 ERA over 12 starts) but was more effective upon moving
to the bullpen in 2009 (3.59 ERA in 73 innings, seven saves). He was used as
both a starter and reliever in 2010, going 7-4, 4.41 in 86 innings, collecting
10 saves, posting a 102/33 K/BB ratio. This got him drafted in the second round
that spring.
Bettis的大学在德州工技，2008他大一那年遇到一些麻烦，12次先发的自责分率高达
6.75，但在 2009 移到牛棚后好了很多，73局自责分率 3.59 ，七次救援成功。在 2010
他先发救援双挑，86局的投球拿下七胜四败，4.41的自责分率，有10次救援成功，三振四
坏比为102/33。这样的成绩让他在第二轮选秀被选上。
He looked great in his pro debut, posting a stellar 1.07 ERA in 67 innings
between Tri-City in the Northwest League and Low-A Asheville, with a 56/13 K/BB
ratio. He was very effective in the California League in 2011, going 12-3, 3.34
over 27 starts, with a 184/45 K/BB ratio in 170 innings.
他的职业初体验表现不错，在 Tri-City 和 Low-A Asheville 合计 67 局的投球中自责
分率只有1.07 ，三振/四坏比为 56/13 。2011年他在 A+ 的加州联盟先发 27 场，合计 12
胜3败，170 局的投球自责分率3.34，三振四坏比为184/45。
Unfortunately, he missed all of 2012 with a strained shoulder muscle. Surgery
was avoided and the Rockies were cautious about bringing him back and pushing
him too quickly. He has shown no ill effects from the injury this year, posting
a 3.71 ERA in 63 innings for Double-A Tulsa before his promotion, with a sharp
68/13 K/BB ratio.
很不幸的，由于肩膀肌肉的伤势，他错过了整个 2012 球季。他不需要动手术，球团也对
他的使用更加谨慎。今年的初赛他似乎未受到之前受伤的影响，在 AA 出赛 63 局自责分
率为3.71，三振四坏比为 68/13。
Bettis is a 6-1, 200 pound right-hander, born April 6, 1989. His fastball tops
out at 96 MPH when he goes for maximum velocity, but he varies speeds with the
pitch. It is usually in the 92-94 range but he will work it as low as 88-89 MPH
with sinking action. His breaking ball is defined as a slider by scouts, but as
with the fastball he'll run up and down the velocity ladder; the slider can be
as high as 88 and as low as 75. Bettis has developed a good changeup to
complement the fastball and slider; Carson Cistulli has some video of the pitch.
Bettis身高六呎一寸，体重两百磅，右投，1989年四月六日出生。他的快速球最快可达
96MPH ，但是他可以自在的控制快速球的球速而非一昧猛催。通常球速在 92-94 MPH，
但他可以投出 88-89 MPH且带有下沉尾劲的速球。他的变化球被球探归类为滑球，就像
他的快速球一样，他可以控制这种球路的速度，最快可达 88MPH而最慢时则只有 75MPH
。Bettis发展了不错的变速球来搭配快速球跟滑球，他的投球影片可参考：

There was some question early in his career about his role, if he would be a
starter or reliever, but the development of the changeup fills out Bettis'
arsenal and makes it more likely that he'll start, as long as durability isn't
an issue. His command has wobbled in his first few major league outings, but it
was quite sharp in the minors.
在生涯早期，对于他未来先发还候原有过一些争议，但是他变速球的进步让他有了新的
武器并且可望留在先发的位置，只要伤势不是问题。他的控球在大联盟前几场并不好，
但在小联盟时其实控球很不错。
Bettis is making the jump from Double-A without any Triple-A experience, so
some adjustment issues are likely unavoidable. Nevertheless, If he stays
healthy, Bettis projects as a solid mid-rotation starter for me.
Betties在没有 3A 的情况下由 2A 值升大联盟，适应问题自然是难以避免。尽管如此，
只要他保持健康，他可望成为一个不错的轮值中段先发。
