Jeffrey Springs yog leej twg? Zoo, xyoo tas los nws tau ua tiav zoo kawg nkaus rau Rays, tshaj tawm 9-5, 2.46, sau nrog sterling 144/31 K / BB cov ntaub ntawv hauv 135 1/3 innings. Ua ntej 2022, nws tau pib tag nrho ntawm ob qhov kev sib tw loj ntawm nws qhov kev tshwm sim 102 MLB. Nws cov ntaub ntawv qhia tau hais tias muaj kev sib cais ntse hauv kev ua haujlwm thaum Lub Ob Hlis 17, 2021, hnub nws tau txais los ntawm Rays.

Raws li Ray hauv 2021-22, nws muaj 2.70 ERA, nrog 207/45 K / BB thiab 23 homers tso cai hauv 180 innings. Thiab nws tsis yog qhov kev poob qis uas tsis tau xa tawm ntawm nws lub peev xwm loj - Springs yog 30th puag ncig cov neeg laus kos npe 2015 daim ntawv xaiv tawm ntawm Appalachian State uas tau pib tsuas yog 28 qhov kev ua si ntawm nws 120 qhov kev sib tw me. Nws yog ib tug txiv neej xwb.

Tab sis nws yog ib tug txiv neej nrog kev hloov pauv. Lub Rays ua txoj haujlwm zoo heev ntawm kev tsim cov pitcher hauv av, thiab xav tias lawv tuaj yeem tsim kom muaj kev sib tw loj loj pib lub pitcher lub arsenal nyob ib ncig ntawm qhov kev hloov pauv.

Springs cuam tshuam qhov kev hloov pauv 35.0% ntawm lub sijhawm xyoo 2022. Ntawm txhua tus MLB pitchers hauv ob pab koomtes uas cuam 135 lossis ntau dua innings lub caij dhau los (Lub Caij Nplooj Ntoos Hlav 135 1/3), tsuas yog tsis ntev los no Blue Jay kev lag luam tau txais Pablo Lopez (35.3%). hloov ntau feem pua ​​ntawm lub sijhawm.

Cia peb muab tso rau hauv cov ntsiab lus tseeb - Springs pov 756 kev hloov pauv lub caij dhau los. Tsuas yog rau tus pitchers hauv baseball, tsis hais lawv cov innings tag nrho, cuam ntau dua. Lawv yog Lopez (1027), Giants 'Logan Webb (937), Marlins' Sandy Alcantara (899). Mariners 'Marco Gonzales (865), Rangers' Martin Perez (823) thiab Dodgers '(tam sim no Angels') Tyler Anderson (815). Springs 'kev hloov pauv hloov pauv-thiab-nco tus nqi (ntawm 21.5%) yog qhov siab tshaj ntawm pawg, nrog Anderson (20.0%), Alcantara (18.4%), Perez (17.3%), Lopez (17.2%), Webb (14.1%) ) thiab Gonzales (13.6%) ua raws li qhov kev txiav txim.

Thaum kuv ntseeg (thiab muaj cov lej rov qab los uas yuav tshwm sim sai sai hauv kuv qhov kev sib tw zoo tshaj plaws txhua xyoo) tias qhov kev hloov pauv yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws hauv kev ua si, nws yuav tsum tau ua ke nrog tsawg kawg ib qho kev sib tw nrawm kom ncav cuag nws qhov siab tshaj plaws. kev ua tau zoo.

Springs tsis cuam tshuam tshwj xeeb. Nws plaub-seam fastball nruab nrab tsuas yog 91.7 mph lub caij dhau los, qis dua 2 mph ntawm lub caij dhau los. Dab tsi nws tsis muaj qhov nrawm nrawm, nws ua rau lwm txoj hauv kev, zoo li kev dag ntxias. Springs tshaj tawm qhov zoo dua MLB qhov nruab nrab 9.6% viav vias-thiab-nco tus nqi ntawm nws plaub-seamer lub caij dhau los. Qhov ntawd yog tom qab tsuas yog Webb (12.4%) thiab kav NL Cy Young Alcantara tus yeej (10.8%) ntawm peb pab pawg ntawm cov neeg hloov pauv, ua ntej Lopez (9.5%), Gonzalez (6.1%) thiab Perez (2.1%).

Yog li ntawd yog qhov ua tau zoo ib-ob qhov kev hloov pauv nrawm rau saum Springs 'repertoire, ib qho uas yuav tsum ua pov thawj ntau tshaj qhov tsim nyog ntawm Rays 'kev nqis peev, txwv tsis pub cov khoom raug mob, tau kawg. Springs 'slider yog qhov khoom siv thib peb, qhov nruab nrab ntawm qhov nruab nrab, tab sis thaum koj ob qho khoom ua haujlwm saum toj kawg nkaus ua haujlwm, qhov nruab nrab yog qhov zoo xwb.

Yog li, Rays tawm tsam dua. Lawv muab pov tseg cov pab pawg me me, tsim kom muaj zog MLB arsenal nyob ib ncig ntawm nws qhov kev hloov pauv, thiab voila, muaj tsawg kawg yog # 3 MLB pib rau lub sijhawm luv-rau-nruab nrab ntawm tus nqi pheej yig. Kuv batted ball-based metrics ("Tru" ERA- ntawm 85) tsis nyiam nws 2022 ntau npaum li ERA- (67) thiab FIP- (80), tab sis lawv nyiam nws zoo.

Springs cuam tshuam ntau qhov kev tawm tsam, nco ntau tus puav, thiab yog tus tswj hwm kev sib cuag nruab nrab, tag nrho los ntawm sab laug. Tsuas yog AL pib nrog tsawg dua 162 innings pitched uas muaj txiaj ntsig dua Springs hauv 2022 yog Cristian Javier, Nestor Cortes, Luis Severino, Luis Garcia thiab Lance Lynn.
