看到這篇文章 蠻好奇勇士的VP Dana Brown 為什麼想簽 Matzek

找到這篇文章有寫比較詳細的故事

In an effort to understand what could have changed for the former top prospect,
Joseph started watching YouTube clips of Matzek pitching in high school and earl
y in his career with Colorado. He was struck by how easy and natural the motion
seemed. The yips can rob a player of that second-nature fluidity. But Joseph tho
ught that perhaps they could reverse-engineer it, rebuild the delivery that had
first gotten him to the major leagues by identifying what was different about it
at the time.

Kevin Joseph是 Airhogs 當時的投教兼翻譯.(題外話:Airhogs的老闆是達拉斯獨行俠的D
onnie Nelson)

為了了解Matzek是發生什麼變化,Joseph 開始看 Maztzek 在高中跟科羅拉多投球的YT 影
片。他很驚訝Matzek的投球動作看起來是多麼簡單跟自然。YIPS 可以把球員習慣已久的流
動性奪走。但是 Joseph 認為可以用逆向工程,找出跟當初讓他上大聯盟的投球姿勢有什麼
不一樣的地方

He approached Matzek in his next bullpen session and showed him screenshots on h
is phone, juxtaposing the more fluid motion from years before with his most rece
nt start for the AirHogs.

他在Matzek的下個牛棚讓Matzek看他手機上的截圖,是Matzek多年前跟最近先發的投球對比
圖。

“Here’s where your arm was then, here’s where your arm is now,” Joseph told
him. Just that simple.

你之前手是在這,現在你的手是在這。就這麼簡單


For whatever reason, it clicked. Matzek started tinkering to get back his old fo
rm and finally become the pitcher he was supposed to be.


不知為何,這是有用的。Matzek 開始回到他的舊姿勢,最後終於變成了他該成為的投手


“It really was in a matter of weeks,” Joseph said. “His velocity was way up a
nd he was back to dominating.”

就是幾週的時間,Matzek的球速增加並回到能統治比賽


The scouting director who pushed
背後推手的球探長

After every big game this postseason, Dana Brown goes down to the Braves clubhou
se, hugs Matzek, and tells him he’s proud of him, keep it up.

“We're kind of attached in that way now,” Brown said.
這季後賽的每場重要比賽後,Dana Brown都會去勇士球場抱下Matzek, 跟他說他以他為榮,
繼續努力

Brown, the Braves VP of scouting, likes his staff to keep tabs on former first-r
ounders. It’s a way of honing what works and what doesn’t in pre-draft evaluat
ions. Who pans out, and who doesn’t. So he sort of remembered Matzek when an ag
ent called to convince Brown he was worth another look.

Brown, 勇士的球探部門VP,喜歡他的手下追蹤前第一輪的選手。這是研究選秀前評估哪邊
是有效,哪邊沒效的方法。誰成功,誰沒有。所以當一個經紀人打給他,說服他可以看下Ma
tzek時,他依稀還記得Matzek

Brown had heard stories like that, a talented guy flames out and resurfaces a fe
w years later in an unconventional way. If this was one of those, the Braves did
n’t want to miss out. He sent a scout, Ron Marigny, and someone to capture and
analyze Edgertronic video.

Brown已聽過相同的故事了,一個有天分的選手消失,幾年後用不尋常的方式回歸。如果這
次是其中之一,那勇士當然不能錯過。他派了位球探,Ron Marigny, 跟另一個人去錄跟分
析高速攝影機拍的影片

“Both angles were very important,” Brown said. And both angles agreed: This gu
y had upside. So Brown wrote an email to Anthopoulos laying it all out. But the
GM wasn’t sold. It was so close to the end of the 2019 season, maybe they could
just wait till next spring.

兩個角度都很重要,且兩個都認同這傢伙能投。所以Brown寫了封email給Anthopoulos,但G
M不買單。那時是2019年季末了,也許他們能等到下個春訓。

“And that's when I started to push,” Brown said.

“You're gonna lose this guy if you do that,” he told Anthopoulos. “This is a
left-hander, former first-rounder, really good arm strength. He's really startin
g to put it together. And it sounds like this is the window if you want this guy
.”

我就是從那時開始催Anthopoulos。如果你這樣做,你就會失去他。這是一個左投,前首輪
選手,非常好的手臂,而且他幾乎快回復了。如果你想要他,這是一個機會。

Brown and Anthopoulos go way back — all the way to the Expos.

感謝Fitzwilliam大告知這句的故事

Dana Brown和Alex Anthopoulos已經認識很久了,早在2002年他們就在博覽會隊共事過。

“And he knows, I don't usually push unless I'm freaking out.”

So they offered Matzek a two-year minor-league deal and, well, you know how that
’s worked out.

他知道我不會催他,除非是我嚇到了。所以他們給了Matzek兩年小聯盟合約。然後,你知道
後來的故事了


真的是個很難得的故事,也恭喜勇士成為世界冠軍
