Wang threw one sinker at 94 miles per hour in his last start, against
Buffalo, but on Sunday, he topped out at 91. He tied up some hitters with a
slider but did not generate ground balls the way he used to. Eighteen batters
put the ball in play off him. Half were in the air. More than 15 members of
the Taiwanese news media tracked every move.

王在星期日的最後一場復建賽 最快球速為91 miles 前一場最快為94 miles

"I think he's close to being ready," said Randy Knorr, the Syracuse manager.
"Timetable- wise, obviously, you'd like to see some guys have a little more
time. We don't have that time, but I think he can compete up there, I really
do."

"他幾乎準備好了" 3A的總教練說 但顯然對某些球員而言 你會希望能有更多的復健時
間 可是我們並沒這麼多時間可花在王身上 我想他在大聯盟會有足夠的競爭力的

He has built back slowly on his rehabilitation assignment this summer: three
innings in low-Class A, four innings in high-Class A, five innings, then six,
at Class AA. He went five and two-thirds innings in his first Class AAA
start, but just five yesterday, allowing eight hits and five runs. He threw
63 of his 96 pitches for strikes.

復健賽是個緩慢的過程

"He's fighting to get the sinker as consistent as possible," Knorr said. "I
think there's times when he might have wanted to go to another pitch, but he
decided, 'I need to get this sinker going - that's the way I pitch,' so he
chose to do that. That's what they do when they're down here. They're trying
to find that pitch that made them successful in the past."

王試著讓他的sinker能更穩定一點

Wang said he still could add two or three m.p.h. to his sinker. He guessed
that he was 80 to 90 percent as effective as he used to be, and Knorr said
that would be plenty.

王說他的球速可在快個2到3 miles 王自覺好了8,9成 3A的總教練說那就足夠了

Wang should have his chance to prove it for real Friday.

王在星期五有機會能證明自己的能力

"A lot of people tell me, this kind of injury, no one comes back," Wang said.
"It would mean a lot."

很多人跟我說得這種傷是別想要再回到球場了 王說 這星期五的機會對我而言意義重
大
