3/27/2023 0 Comments 【Major Leaguer Resume Vol.104】“Never give up with Pride!!”:Yoshi Tsutsugo(Texas Rangers’ affiliate)■Today’s player
Today’s player is the Texas Rangers’ affiliate infielder, Yoshi Tsutsugo. ■The KAISPO's baseball analyst comments “In 2019, Tsutsugo signed with the Tampa Bay Rays of MLB. He played three seasons with the Rays, the Dodgers, and the Pirates. Tsutsugo signed with the Rangers to a minor league contract this January. He has struggled to succeed in the MLB consistently, batting just .197 with 18 home runs and 75 RBI in 640 plate appearances. His strength is a slugging power. But it could be better for him to make good contact to enhance the reliability of his batting and raise his batting average until getting the hang of it. I hope he can make his skills blossom.” ■Story Yoshi Tsutsugo is a professional baseball player from Japan. He was born on November 26, 1991, in Hashimoto, Wakayama, Japan. Tsutsugo is a left-handed batter and right-handed thrower who primarily plays outfield and first base. Tsutsugo began his professional baseball career in Japan in 2010 with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). He quickly became a talented player, earning a home run and RBI leader in 2016. The left-handed hitter signed with the Tampa Bay Rays in December 2019. He has played for the Rays, the Dodgers, and the Pirates since his big league debut on July 24, 2020. 31-year-old hitter signed a minor league contract with the Rangers on January 15, 2023, and was invited to their spring training. ■MLB Career Stats At the end of the 2022 season, Tsutsugo has logged .197 with 18 homers and 75 RBIs in his three MLB seasons.

The 21-year-old Nicaraguan pitcher pitched the ninth inning of a game against the Dominican Republic on March 13, 2023, in the 2023 spring classic, striking out Juan Soto, Julio Rodriguez, and Rafael Devers. The Detroit Tigers were so impressed with this accomplishment that they offered Hebbelt a minor league contract after the game. After striking out Soto and Rodriguez, Hebbelt allowed a double to Manny Machado, who also homered in the game. Hebert struck out Devers immediately after with a changeup.

“Pitcher Sandoval is a promising young starting lefty who is on the rise. He emerged from the 2021 season with a 3.62 ERA in 87 innings pitched, and in 2022 he became a fixture in the Angels' starting rotation, posting six wins (nine losses) and a 2.91 ERA in 27 starts. With the support of his bullpen and hitting staff, he would have had double-digit wins. In the two years since his debut in 2019, there were cases where he was hit mainly with the 4-seam. In 2021, he increased the distribution of changeups and sliders whose opponent's batting averages were low to have more options to retire batters he faced. Also, the lefty came to upset the batter's timing with a 0.48 HR/9 in 2022. From 2023 onward, Sandoval will be expected to be the core of the Angels' starting pitching staff along with Shohei Ohtani.” (MLB No.457 KAISPO No.1637) 3/18/2023 0 Comments 【メジャーリーガーレジュメ第108回】”エンゼルスの絶賛成長中左腕” / パトリック・サンドバル投手(ロサンゼルス・エンゼルス)/ 2023 WBC メキシコメジャーリーガーレジュメ第108回 WBC プレーヤー レジュメ 第94回 ■KAISPOベースボールアナリストコメント
「サンドバル選手は、現在、まさに成長中の有望な若手先発左腕投手だ。 2021年シーズンから安定感を見せ始め、87回を投げて防御率は3.62。2022年はエンゼルスの先発ローテーションに定着し、27試合の先発で、6勝(9敗)、防御率は2点台(2.91)をマークした。ブルペン陣、打撃陣の援護があれば2桁勝利はしていただろう。 2019年のデビュー以降、2年間は4シーム主体で打ち込まれるケースがあったのに対し、2021年以降は、被打率の低いチェンジアップやスライダーの配球を増やし、緩急をつけて打者のタイミングをはずす(芯をはずす)シーンが増え、投球の幅が広がった。特に2022年の被本塁打率はわずか0.48と効果を発揮した。 2023年以降、大谷翔平投手とともにエンゼルスの先発投手陣の核として一層の飛躍が期待される。」 (MLB No.456 KAISPO No.1636) 3/16/2023 0 Comments 【Major Leaguer Resume No.107】“ValuableUtility Pitcher!!”: Nick Martinez(Padres) : 2023 WBC USA■Today’s player
Today's player is the San Diego Padres pitcher Nick Martinez. Martinez is from Miami, Florida, and has played for Team USA in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. ■The KAISPO's baseball analyst comments Martinez is a utility pitcher who can both relieve and start. In 2022, he made ten starts and 37 relief appearances, showing his coordination and agility with a 4-4 record, eight holds, eight saves, and a 3.47 ERA. He will likely pitch more frequently as a starter in 2023, but his 4-seamer will be challenging. It has the most pitches (26.3%) of his five pitches, but its OBA is high at .351, and Whiff% is low at 18.1%. His 4-seamer's average velocity of 93.4 mph (about 150 km/h) is almost the same as that of MLB. So it would be considered more accessible for hitters to contact, so a more precise command is required. Conversely, his changeup is distributed at about the same rate as the 4-seamer and has a high whiff%. Therefore, he should distribute the 4-seamer in the ball zone and use other pitches, including the changeup in the strike zone. The Padres have aggressively recruited and will likely be a top contender in 2023 and beyond. Hence, Martinez's flexibility in pitching late in the season and postseason makes him a valuable pitcher. ■Story Nick Martinez is a pitcher who played for the San Diego Padres during the 2022 Major League Baseball season. He joined the Padres as a free agent in March 2022 and made his Padre debut on April 11, 2022. Martinez appeared in 47 games for the team during the 2022 season, including ten starts. He recorded a 4-4 record with a 3.47 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 106.1 innings pitched. Martinez primarily served as a long reliever out of the bullpen but also made a few spot starts when needed. Before joining the Padres, the right-hander played in the Texas Rangers organization for several years, making his MLB debut with the Rangers in 2014. He also pitched for the Hokkaido Nippoham Fighters of the Japanese Pacific League in 2018 and 2020 and the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in 2021 before returning to the United States to sign with the Padres. ■MLB Career Stats At the end of the 2022 season, the 32-year-old has logged 21-34 with a 4.50 ERA and 332 strikeouts over 135 games(78 starts) in 521.2 innings in his five big league campaigns.

本日のご紹介は、サンディエゴ・パドレスのニック・マルティネス投手だ。マルティネスはフロリダ州マイアミ出身の現在32歳の右投手で、2023年のワールドベースボールクラシックでチームUSAとしてプレーしている。 ■KAISPOベースボールアナリストコメント マルチネス投手は、リリーフも先発もできるユーティリティ投手だ。 2022年は、10試合の先発と37回のリリーフ登板をこなし、調整力と器用さを見せつけた。結果も4勝4敗8ホールド8セーブ、防御率は2015年以来の3点台(3.47)をマークした。 2023年は先発登板が増える可能性があるが、その際、課題となるのは4シームの精度だろう。4シームは5球種の中で最多の球数(26.3%)である一方、被打率は.351と高く空振り率は18.1%と低めだ。4シームの平均球速は93.4mph(約150km/h)とMLB平均レベルのため、打者は見極めやすいと考えられるので、より高い制球力が求められる。逆に4シームとほぼ同じ割合で配給しているチェンジアップは被打率が低く、空振りも取れている。従って、4シームはボールゾーンへ配球し、チェンジアップを含めた他の球種をストライクゾーンで勝負するかたちが有効のように考える。 パドレスは補強も積極的で2023年以降も上位進出の可能性が高いゆえ、シーズン終盤からポストシーズンにかけて、柔軟な登板ができるマルチネス投手は貴重な投手だ。 ■ストーリー ニック・マルティネス投手は、2022年にサンディエゴ・パドレスでプレーした。2022年3月にフリーエージェントとしてパドレスに入団し、2022年4月11日にパドレスデビューを果たした。マルティネス投手は2022年シーズン、10試合の先発を含め、47試合に登板。106.1イニングを投げて4勝4敗、防御率3.47、95奪三振の成績を記録した。主にブルペンでロングリリーフを務めたが、必要に応じてスポット先発もした。 パドレスに入団する前は、テキサス・レンジャーズで4シーズンプレーし、2014年にレンジャーズでMLBデビューを果たした。また、2018年と2020年には日本プロ野球パシフィックリーグの北海道日本ハムファイターズ、2021年には福岡ソフトバンクホークスで活躍した後、米国に帰国してパドレスと契約した。 ■MLB通算成績 2022年シーズン終了時点で、メジャーリーグ5シーズンで135試合(78先発)、521.2イニングを投げて21勝34敗、防御率4.50、332奪三振を記録している。 (MLB No.451 KAISPO No.1631) |
