Doing one thing extremely well in the Major Leagues is difficult enough.
Being able to do two very different things well is truly special.
在大联盟中把一项工作做到顶尖就很困难了,能把两件非常困难的事给做好那真的是与
众不同。
That’s why the power-speed combo is such a valuable asset. Typically, those
tools are at odds. The type of big slugger who tends to rack up homers is
often no threat on the bases. And the sort of fleet-footed burner with a
knack for collecting stolen bases rarely is a prime candidate to go deep.
这也是为什么力量与速度的结合是如此具有价值的资产。一般来说,这两项能力是互相
冲突的:很会打全垒打的巨砲通常在垒包上没啥威胁性;而脚踏风火轮的盗垒专家通常
不太会把球打得深远。
That’s why 40 homers and 40 steals in the same season is one of the game’s
most exclusive clubs. Fewer than two players per year even reach the 30-30
mark.
这也是为什么单季40轰40盗是棒球里最罕见的境界之一。每年甚至只有两名以下的球员
在同一季达到30轰30盗。
Of course, those aren’t the only ways to measure this rare blend of skills.
Power doesn’t only manifest itself in homers, and the same is true for speed
and steals. But a player who reaches a significant career milestone in both
of those traditional stats clearly has a diverse array of tools.
当然啦,这并不是鉴定这种罕见能力的唯一方式:一个球员的力量并不侷限于打全垒打
的能力;速度也不仅限于盗垒能力。但在这些传统数据上达到某里程碑想必有着多方面
的本领。
Through 2019, there were 148 players all-time with at least 300 career
homers. There were 167 with 300-plus steals. But there are only eight who
belong to both groups. Some are obvious. A few may surprise you.
截至2019,史上只有148名球员达成300轰的门槛;而达成300盗门槛的则是167人。但两
者皆达成的只有八人:其中有些大家会觉得毫不意外,有些则会跌破你眼镜。
