[分享] 澳洲今年有望出首位MLB選秀首輪

最近滑推特的 看到俄勒岡州立大學的澳洲籍內野手Travis Bazzana https://i.imgur.com/gbVmTFT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/67odMYZ.jpg 他有望成為澳洲首位MLB選秀首輪新秀 翻了一下目前大聯盟官網2024新秀排行榜 他高居第三 官網球探報告 Hit: 55 Power: 60 Run: 60 Arm: 50 Field: 50 Overall: 60 幾個月前大聯盟官網有撰文介紹他 https://www.mlb.com/news/travis-bazzana-looking-to-make-australian-baseball-hist ory Williams got the chance to watch Bazzana's development up close, too. Bazzana ma de his debut in the Australian Baseball League for the Sydney Blue Sox at the ag e of 15 -- the youngest player in the league that year. Though he made it into j ust one game, the season provided invaluable experience as the teenager had to p lay with men 10-to-15 years older than him 當初他15歲就站上澳職雪梨藍襪的賽場 是當年澳職年紀最小的球員 雖然只出賽一場 That would be the latest in a series of big moments for Australian baseball, whi ch has never had a player drafted in he first round. Australian-born players aren't eligible for the MLB Draft, unless they've moved to the United States, Canada or a U.S. territory such as Puerto Rico 過去澳洲球員從未在大聯盟選秀首輪入選過 當然這大部份也是因為澳洲球員多半走國際業餘球員方式加盟美職 除非跑去美國讀書 "I've represented my country in juniors a couple of times and it's been great," Bazzana said. "And then just seeing the World Baseball Classic and the level of competition and playing in the Tokyo Dome, and things of that sort, it's been a dream of mine. I really want to bring Australian baseball to the map again and I think the World Baseball Classic is a great opportunity for that." 他也夢想替澳洲打國際賽 That's not just talk, either: When he represented Australia for the U-18 World C up in 2019, he made a note in his phone with what the projected roster for Team Australia would look like before the 2026 World Baseball Classic 他2019年替澳洲出戰U18時 https://i.imgur.com/OT5ASeE.jpg 他就在手機記事本寫下他預測將來的WBC澳洲隊陣容XD He put himself at second base and in the leadoff spot of the batting order. It's given him a goal to aim for as he looks to both showcase both himself and Austr alian baseball on a global stage. 他把自己放在一棒二壘手 https://i.imgur.com/Ls8ChKa.jpg 高中就讀雪梨的Turramurra高中 2022赴美讀大學打球 https://i.imgur.com/vvmEwtb.jpg 話說今天他也尻了雙響砲 https://x.com/mlbpipeline/status/1759327065268982201 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.122.136.8 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Baseball/M.1708312187.A.6AB.html
