The ultimate bad-ball home runs

How did they even hit these pitches?

作者: Andrew Simon

極。壞球全壘打

這球也行?

Hitting any Major League pitch for a home run is an impressive
accomplishment.

在大聯盟這個舞台上，任何一發全壘打都會讓人留下深刻的印象。

But some batters ratchet up the degree of difficulty by going after bad
pitches -- or, at least, pitches that would look bad to most -- and going
deep. They take coal and polish it into diamonds.

但是某些打者將難度拉高到，將投歪掉的球打成全壘打…至少大多數人看的出來它是顆壞球。這些打者將化腐朽為神奇。

Javier Báez is one of those guys. Already a legendary bad-ball hitter, the
Cubs shortstop burnished that reputation on Thursday afternoon, golfing a
go-ahead home run off the Pirates’ Tyler Anderson in the sixth inning at PNC
Park. Anderson’s changeup, hurtling toward the dirt, crossed the plate only
0.86 feet off the ground, tying it for the fifth-lowest pitch to be turned
into a homer since the pitch-tracking era began in 2008.

小熊隊的Javier Báez就是傳說級的壞球打者，在周四的午後，六局上半一發將比賽超前的全壘打，苦主是海盜隊的 Tyler Anderson。 Tyler Anderson的變速球飛過本壘板往泥土衝去的時候僅距離地面0.86呎(26.22公分)，在2008年有紀錄投球軌跡以來，被打成全壘打的球距離地面排名第五低。

In 2019, Báez earned a comparison to the ultimate bad-ball hitter, Vladimir
Guerrero (the elder), by notching a hit when he literally threw his bat at a
pitch that bounced. Unfortunately for us, Guerrero played most of his career
before pitches were tracked, but even without the data, it’s obvious that he
belongs in any conversation about hitting homers against pitches that have nobusiness producing homers.

在2019年Javier Báez 將球棒甩出，將一顆已經落地的彈跳球擊成安打，從此比肩沒有
好球帶的辣個男人＂ Vladimir Guerrero＂（老的那一位），可惜的是老 Vladimir
Guerrero的生涯大多在２００８有紀錄以前，就算沒有數據背書，老 Vladimir Guerrero將不可能的球送出大牆也是球迷們有目共睹。

We saw that on his very first Major League homer, a shot down the right-fieldline in Atlanta against a pitch well off the outside corner. We saw that on
the big stage, in the 2006 All-Star Game, when Vladdy reached up to his
shoulders to lift a Brad Penny heater into the right-field seats at PNC Park.And we saw it in 2010, when he golfed a homer in Texas off a slow Jered Weaver curveball not much higher
than the one Báez hit Thursday. (At 1.09 feet high, it was Guerrero’s
lowest homer pitch on record).

從老 Vladimir Guerrero生涯第一支全壘打，外角偏低的球送到右外野。到２００６明星賽，道奇投手Brad Penny，一顆高到肩膀的火球照樣送到右外野球迷座位上。在２０１０在德州將 Jered Weaver的曲球當高爾夫球打出場外，這球只略比Báez打的那顆高了一點1.09呎(33.22公分，這球也是老 Vladimir Guerrero有記錄最低的一發全壘打)
