Veteran catcher Jonathan Lucroy is set to officially announce his retirement
Saturday as part of a ceremony at American Family Field, reports Todd Rosiak
of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A third-round pick by the Brewers out of
Louisiana-Lafayette in 2007, the backstop, who spent the first half of his
twelve-year career in Milwaukee, will be inducted into the club’s Wall of
Honor alongside former teammate Ryan Braun.

Arguably the most accomplished catcher of the 2010s not named Buster Posey orYadier Molina, Lucroy’s best years — including a fourth-place MVP finish
(and 8.2 fWAR) in 2014 — came with the Brewers, but he remained a
serviceable option behind the plate for several years to come following a
deadline trade to the Rangers in 2016. His production did dip considerably
thereafter, however, and he became something of a journeyman in his 30s,
playing for the Rockies, A’s, Angels, Cubs, Red Sox, Nationals, and Braves.
He sported a robust .284/.343/.442 batting line across his first seven
seasons — all but the last two months of 2016 in Milwaukee — but a
comparatively paltry .248/.315/.350 thereafter. His once-elite defensive
acumen also declined precipitously in the latter half of his career; after
accruing 95 defensive runs saved between 2010 and 2016, he cost his teams 42
runs thereafter per the Fielding Bible metric.

For his career, Lucroy logged a more-than-respectable .274/.335/.416
triple-slash, a particularly strong output given the comparatively anemic
production at his position across the majors. While he’s unlikely to receive
any serious Hall of Fame consideration, the long-time Brewer can hang his haton an excellent career that included two All-Star selections (in 2014 and
2016), 37 career fWAR, and four playoff appearances, including a 2011 NLCS
run with the Brewers.

5. 備註：

(1) 資深捕手Jonathan Lucroy將在週六於釀酒人隊主場美國家庭球場宣布退休。釀酒人隊於2007年第三輪選入來自路易斯安那拉法葉大學的他，Lucroy生涯12年其中釀酒人隊就待了6年，他將跟Ryan Braun一起入選釀酒人隊榮譽牆。

(2) 除了Buster Posey跟Yadier Molina外，Lucroy可說是2010年代最有成就的捕手之一，如在2014年MVP票選第四名（該年8.2 fWAR）。2016年交易大限前被交易至遊騎兵隊。在他三十歲之後，表現隨之下滑使他成為棒球浪人，服務過洛磯隊、運動家隊、天使隊、小熊隊、紅襪隊、國民隊和勇士隊。生涯前七季在釀酒人隊共繳出0.284/.343/.442的打擊三圍，但之後卻僅繳出.248/.315/.350的成績。另外，他曾所著稱的防守能力也在職棒生涯後半段急劇下降，根據防守聖經進階數據顯示，2010年至2016年貢獻95的DRS，之後卻僅貢獻-42的DRS。

(3) Lucroy生涯繳出.274/.335/.416的出色三圍，但考慮到捕手守位仍是很好的產出。雖然他不太可能入選名人堂，但長年待在釀酒人隊可作為他職棒生涯的正字標記，其中包括兩次入選明星賽（2014年和2016年）、37 fWAR和打入四屆季後賽，如2011年釀酒人隊國聯冠軍賽。
