Earlier this week, New York Yankees outfield prospect Clint Frazier joined MLB
Network as a "mystery call-in" guest to discuss his mid-season trade to the Y
ankees organization, as he enters 2017 ranked at the top of the team's prospec
t rankings.
这周稍早的时候，洋基新秀外野手Frazier在
MLB Network的节目中被call-in做了一个简单的访谈
The 22-year-old righty slugger has become a quick fan favorite among Yankees s
upporters, who have welcomed the club's new direction to develop and showcase
its top in-house talent, and Frazier has a chance to be one of the very best o
f the bunch.
这名22岁的右打强打
很快就成为洋基支持者最喜欢的球员之一
并且符合球队年轻化的方向
而他显然是这群年轻人当中最出色的其中之一
"It's exciting all-around," Frazier said of his move to the Bronx. "Whether I
was with the Indians or the Yankees, I'm just happy to have the opportunity ri
ght now."
“所有的一切都很振奋人心，
不论我是在笑脸人还是在洋基，
我只是感到很开心能够有现在这样的机会。”
Shortly after being promoted to Cleveland's Triple-A club, Frazier was surpris
ed to learn of the deadline transaction that would eventually send him to the
Big Apple along with a package of prospects in exchange for one of the best re
lievers in baseball last season, Andrew Miller.
在被笑脸人升上3A不久之后
Frazier很惊讶地发现，
自己在交易截止日之前被打包进一包包裹，
作为换回联盟当今最具宰制力的后援投手，
Andrew Miller，的主菜。
"I just got up to go to the bathroom one morning, and when I came back I check
ed my phone and I had a text message from a friend inside the agency that said
, 'Call me.' When I called him, he was sitting with the owners of my agency an
d said, 'Look, we don't know how to tell you this but you got traded, congratu
lations,'" Frazier recalled. "I did not expect it, but honestly I'm just grate
ful that the Yankees thought enough of me to trade me for the guy they did."
“我早上刚起床去浴室回来之后，
看一下手机发现一位经纪公司的朋友传给我一条讯息，他说：打给我。于是我就打给他。
那时他正和经纪公司的拥有人坐在一起，然后对我说：听着，我们不晓得怎么跟你说，但
是你被交易了，恭喜你。”Frazier在访谈中回忆。
“我没有预期到这种事情会发生，但是老实说我很感谢洋基把我看得如此之重要，用Mill
er来交易我（以及其他人）。”
In 119 games at both Double- and Triple-A last season, Frazier finished the ye
ar slashing .263/.335/.447 with 48 extra-base hits, 16 homers, 55 RBI, and 13
successful stolen bases on 17 attempts.
在2A以及3A的119场比赛当中，
Frazier缴出了.263/.335/.447的打击三围，
48支长打，16发全垒打，55分打点，13次SB
His bat speed has already been deemed "legendary" by none other than Yankees G
eneral Manager Brian Cashman, but perhaps Frazier's most distinct attribute is
his incandescent mane of shoulder-length red hair.
他的挥棒速度已经被洋基GM现金人
认为是“传说级的”，
但是恐怕Frazier最与众不同的一点，
是他那过肩的红色长发。
"It's a very unique hairstyle right now, I'll tell you that," Frazier said.
“我告诉你，它现在是个很特别的发型。”
Frazier如是说。
Clearly Clint's hair means quite a lot to him. In fact, upon hearing that he'd
been traded to the Yankees last July, Frazier hastily conferred with Cashman
about what the fate of his precious locks would be, and the news was not good.
明显地Frazier的头发对他来说有很大的意义。
事实上，在知道自己被交易到洋基之后，
Frazier马上和现金人确认，
他那珍贵的红长发的命运将会如何，
然而他得到的是坏消息。
"I got a call from Carter Hawkins first, he was recently just promoted to Assi
stant General Manager with the Indians, at the time he was the player developm
ent guy. And then shortly after, I got a call from Brian Cashman, and we talke
d briefly. One of the first questions I asked him was 'Do I have to cut my hai
r?' and he said, 'Yeah man, you have to cut it.'"
“我先是接到Curt Hawkins的电话，
他最近刚获升为笑脸人的球队助理经理，
但在当时还只是球员发展部门的相关人员。
不久之后我接到现金人的电话，我们谈得很直接。我问他的其中一个问题就是：我需要剪
掉我的长发吗？然后他说：是啊兄弟，你得剪掉。”
Although his igneous locks may not stay with him, Frazier's abundant talents w
ill be on full display next year as he continues his climb toward making his M
LB debut. After posting a series of awe-inspiring workout demonstrations on In
stagram, Frazier's gym-rat reputation appears to be no joke, but it's another
side of his game that he feels is his strongest asset entering 2017.
“虽然Frazier的长发不会继续陪伴他，
但是他满满的天赋将会在他往MLB处女秀前进的路上持续展现。他在IG上po了一系列自己
认真训练的影片，显然他训练魔人的称号一点也不假。但这只是他其中一个强项而已。
"I would say right now my biggest strength is probably mentally," said Frazier
. "As far as the physicality goes I think my power is still the best thing, bu
t the biggest step further I think I've done a lot to work on my mental game r
ight now, and I think I'm in a good spot all-around."
“我会说我真正最强的力量是精神上的，
当我的身体条件持续增长时我认为我的power仍然是最棒的一个，但是我更进一步地我做
了很思想上面的训练。而我认为现在我整个就是在一个非常好的状态。”
Even though he's yet to done the midnight blue pinstripes, Frazier has already
gotten a chance to experience life in the Yankees organization after spending
25 games with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at the tail end o
f last season.
虽然Frazier还没成功穿上条纹衫，
但是在他打了赛季最后25场比赛之后，
他已经得到体验身为一位洋基球员的生活的机会了。
"I had the opportunity to go down to instructional league and get familiar wit
h a lot of the coaching staff down there, a lot of the player development, and
overall just get welcomed into the family," Frazier said. "I think the cooles
t person I got to meet down there was Reggie Jackson, so it's been a fun time
so far."
“我得到前往建设联盟的机会，
并且认识了许多教练团以及球团发展部门的人，总地来说他们都欢迎我加入这个大家庭。
我认为我所认识的最酷的人就是Reggie Jackson了，目前来说一切都非常有趣。”
Frazier回忆道。
