Nyob rau lub asthiv tsis ntev los no hauv qhov chaw no, kuv tau nthuav tawm kuv qhov MLB Qhov Zoo Tshaj Plaws txhua xyoo. Nyem mus saib cov lus qhia tshwj xeeb ntawm kev hloov pauv, curveballs, cov cutters / splitters, plaub-seam fastballs, cov dab dej thiab zawv zawg. Lawv mam li muab ua ke los tsim 2021 Pitcher Qib-Point Nruab Nrab. Tam sim no, peb tab tom yuav khawb me ntsis tob rau hauv qee qhov xav tsis thoob 2021 GPAs, thiab suav nrog 2022 cov txiaj ntsig los ua qee qhov kev soj ntsuam txog yav tom ntej rau cov pitchers xaiv.
Tej zaum nws yuav xav tsis thoob me ntsis kom pom Frankie Montas hauv 2nd quartile ntawm MLB pib hauv kuv Qib-Point Nruab Nrab tsab xov xwm lub lim tiam dhau los. Nws ua tiav 6th hauv 2021 AL Cy Young Award pov npav, ua ntej ntawm cov nyiam Lucas Giolito, uas ua tiav zoo ntawm Montas hauv kuv qhov "Tru" Pitching Runs Saum toj Nruab Nrab metric, kuv cov txheej txheem ntawm qeb duas pitcher contributions. Qhov tseeb, Montas ua tiav tsis pom qhov twg nyob ze ntawm qhov ntsuas, nrog 6.9 TPRAA. (Gerrit Cole coj AL nrog 25.2.) Nws muaj txiaj ntsig zoo tshwj xeeb ntawm txhua hom pob batted, nrog cov khoom siv zoo dua li cov txiaj ntsig tau los ntawm cov khoom ya (90 Unadjusted vs. 112 Kho Cov qhab nias) thiab liners (87 vs. 104). Zuag qhia tag nrho, Montas tau tshaj tawm 93 Unadjusted vs. 109 Kho Cov qhab nias sib cuag. Nws "Tru" ERA- ntawm 93 tau zoo tshaj nws cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ERA- thiab FIP- cov cim ntawm 81.
Montas '2021 3.19 pitching Qib Point Nruab Nrab khiav zoo nkauj zoo ib yam nrog nws TPRAA, thiab tsis sib xws nrog cov kev xav ntawm Cy Young cov neeg pov npav. Nws tau txais qib "B +" rau nws lub dab dej thiab "B" rau nws plaub-seamer, uas nws cuam 29.2% thiab 29.0% ntawm lub sijhawm, raws li. Nws qhov zoo tshaj plaws thiab qhov phem tshaj plaws yog nws qhov "A +" splitter thiab nws "D +" slider, uas nws cuam 22.4% thiab 19.4% ntawm lub sijhawm.
Nws splitter yog ib qho ntawm qhov zoo tshaj plaws pitches nyob rau hauv lub majors lub caij dhau los, nrog ib tug tshwj xeeb 25.8% viav-thiab-nco tus nqi thiab ib tug pitch-specific Adjusted Contact Score ntawm 78. Qhov ntawd yog tib lub ntsiab lus tswj xyuas raws li Kevin Gausman tus splitter, thiab Montas 'whiff tus nqi yog qhov feem pua ntawm cov ntsiab lus siab dua - qhov ntawd yog qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws. Lub slider yog ib qho kev ntxhov siab txhua txoj kev uas koj hlais nws - nws 134 Kho Kev Sib Txuas Cov qhab nia yog qhov phem tshaj ntawm cov neeg tsim nyog, thiab nws 12.3% suab tshwj xeeb whiff tus nqi yog dhau ntawm tus qauv sib txawv hauv qab nruab nrab thiab.
Pom tseeb, A's tau nyob rau hauv kev muag hluav taws thaum lub caij no tau pib, txav Matt Olson, Matt Chapman thiab Sean Manaea thaum lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav kev cob qhia, tawm hauv Montas ua lub hnub qub kawg. Nrog nws lub koob npe nrov tshaj nws cov txuj ci tiag tiag - tsawg kawg hauv kuv ob lub qhov muag - A's tau nyob rau hauv txoj haujlwm kom tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo hauv kev lag luam. Nws tau raug xaiv los ua haujlwm ob peb zaug, nrog rau Dawb Sox lus xaiv los ua tus thawj suitor.
Raws li 2022 lub caij tau ua tiav, Montas 'cov lej tseem ceeb tau taug qab zoo nkauj ze rau nws qib 2021. Xyoo tas los, nws ERA thiab FIP (raws li Baseball Reference) yog 3.37. Xyoo no, nws ERA yog 3.44, nws FIP yog 3.29. Nws qhov sib piv ntawm K / BB yog qhov sib piv heev. Tab sis ua li cas nws cov qhab nia thaum ntxov lub caij nyoog zoo li? Thaum kuv saib "Tru" Pitching Runs Saum toj no qhov nruab nrab raws li kev ntsuas ntshiab ntawm cov txiaj ntsig, cov qhab nias rau qhov kev ntsuas qhov nkag, thiab yog cov ntsuas ntsuas uas tuaj yeem muab koj lub tswv yim ntawm qhov twg lub pitcher yog mus.
Feem ntau, muaj qhov siab thiab qis ntawm Montas 'daim ntawv tshaj tawm lub caij ntxov. Nws qhov nrawm yog qis qis hauv nws tag nrho cov repertoire. Nws lub suab sib xyaw tau hloov pauv me ntsis, nrog rau nws qhov kev siv splitter sharply nce (ntawm tus nqi ntawm nws lub dab dej) thiab nws cov slider siv me ntsis ntxiv me ntsis (ntawm tus nqi ntawm nws plaub-seamer). Pov ib lub suab zoo tshaj plaws yuav zoo li tsis muaj kev xav, thiab txawm hais tias yuav zoo li muaj kev txwv siab npaum li cas ib tus yuav tsum cuam tshuam ntau npaum li cas, Montas tseem txaj muag ntawm 30% kev siv tus nqi rau lub suab Gausman cuam 35% + ntawm lub sijhawm.
Kev ua tau zoo ntawm cov lus hais tau pom tseeb yog qhov tseem ceeb, txawm li cas los xij, thiab rau Montas los ua cov kauj ruam tom ntej - lossis rau, hauv kuv lub tswv yim, ua rau cov kauj ruam tom ntej uas lub ntsiab ntseeg tias nws twb tau ua hauv 2021 - nws xav tau 1) txhim kho nws cov slider. kom tsawg kawg yog ib qho khoom plig nruab nrab, thiab 2) ua qhov zoo tshaj plaws ua thiab txhim kho yam tsawg kawg ib qho "A" fastball.
Zoo, Montas zoo li ua tiav thawj txoj haujlwm, tab sis tsis yog qhov thib ob. Nws yog ib qho qauv me me tiag tiag, tab sis nws tau ua haujlwm zoo nrog cov slider rau hnub tim. Nws yog ib qho "A" suab los ntawm rab chais ntug npoo, nrog rau kev txhim kho zoo heev whiff tus nqi (los ntawm 12.3% mus rau 19.6%) thiab kev cog lus zoo heev rau kev tswj xyuas qhov zoo. Tag nrho ib nrab ntawm 10 batted npas tso cai rau nws cov sliders kom deb li deb tau pop ups, keying ib tug thaum ntxov-season pitch-specific 76 Kho cov qhab nias. Lub slider tau ua tiav qhov tseem-zoo splitter, uas yog nyob rau ntawm "A +" qib dua, nrog rau qhov tshwj xeeb 48 Kho Cov qhab nia sib txuas kom them nyiaj rau qhov poob qis (los ntawm 25.8% mus rau 15.0%).
Txog cov fastballs, txawm li cas los xij …… ob leeg tau poob qis ib nrab ntawm qib thaum ntxov. Plaub-seamer tus whiff tus nqi tau qhov tseem ceeb tiaj tus (11.3% hauv 2021, 11.4% hauv 2022), thaum nws twb tsis zoo Kho Cov qhab nias (134 hauv 2021) tau nce zuj zus (163 hauv 2022), txo qis nws qib qib los ntawm "B. "rau "C+". Nws yog tib zaj dab neeg nrog lub dab dej, nrog tus nqi qis (8.0% hauv 2021, 7.7% hauv 2022) thiab kev tswj xyuas kev sib cuag me ntsis zuj zus (97 Hloov Cov qhab nias hauv 2021, 105 hauv 2022), nrog rau nws qib poob los ntawm "B + "hauv 2021 rau "B" txog tam sim no hauv 2022.
Yog li peb tau txais dab tsi? Tam sim no kuv nyiam hais tias Frankie Montas yog qib AL pib, ib yam dab tsi uas kuv tsis tau npaj los hais rau xyoo 2021. Kuv tseem tsis tau pom nws nyob hauv cov neeg tseem ceeb, pab pawg los ntawm Cy Young yeej. haj yam. Lub Gerrit Coles, Justin Verlanders, Lucas Giolitos, Lance Lynns ...., txawm tias Nathan Eovaldis - muaj cov pob nrawm uas cais lawv ntawm pob. Rau Montas los ua qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws hauv kauj ruam kawg, nws yuav tsum nco ntsoov ntau tus puav thiab tseem ceeb dua pib tswj qhov kev puas tsuaj uas nws tau txais nrog nws plaub-seam fastball.
