[外電] Trout: 聯盟每年都要我參加全壘打大賽

Every year they ask me," Trout said, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. 「每一年，每一年他們都會問，」Trout說。 The outfielder has been one of the best hitters in baseball every year since his rookie season in 2012, finishing in the top four of the American League MVP voting all seven seasons and winning the prestigious award twice. 從他2012的菜鳥年開始，Trout每年都是聯盟最佳打者之一。過去七年每年都是美聯MVP投 票排名前四，拿過兩次MVP。 He has displayed impressive power during this stretch by hitting at least 25 home runs every year. 而過去這些年來，他也展現令人印象深刻的力量，每年都至少產出25發全壘打。 Trout already has 22 homers in 2019 and entered Thursday tied for third in the American League. There is no denying he would have the ability to succeed in a contest like this one. 目前為止，今年球季Trout已經尻了22發，美聯暫居第三。毫無疑問，若是他參加全壘打大 賽的話，他是有這個能力可以拿冠軍的。 Despite his ability, fans around the country haven't received many chances to see the superstar in action. Between late-night games and the fact the Angels have only made one playoff appearance in his career—a three-game sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals in the first round of the 2014 postseason —Trout's time in the spotlight has been limited. 儘管他有能力，球迷們沒有太多的機會可以看到這位超級明星打擊的樣子。除了因為時差 比賽的時間比較晚以及他在天使時只有一次打入季後賽--2014年季後賽第一輪就被皇家橫 掃--要在鎂光燈下看到Trout的機會並不多。 Competing in this event would put him on a bigger stage for a rare moment in his career. 所以若是他參加全壘打大賽的話，這將會是他生涯難得的大場面。 The good news is he isn't ruling out a future appearance in the derby. 好消息是他沒有排除將來參加全壘打大賽的可能性。 "Maybe one year I'll say to myself, 'Hey, let's do it,'" he said Thursday. "I'm obviously a big fan of watching it. It's just what it is. I enjoyed watching it as a kid, thought it was cool. I just never really wanted to do it." 「或許某一年我會跟自己說，『好吧! 就打一次吧，』」Trout說。「我自己是很愛看全壘 打大賽，但是就是如此，我小時候很愛看，覺得那比賽很酷，但是我從來沒想過要參 加。」 While no one wants him to get hurt or ruin his swing, virtually all fans would love to see him compete in this exciting event at least once. 沒有人希望他因為參加比賽而受傷，但是基本上大概所有的棒球迷都希望他可以至少參加 一次全壘打大賽。 -- 或許獎金提到1000萬鎂... -- #1RelwrS2 (MLB) 標題 [閒聊] 躲人Puig家裡過去一年半被闖空門四次 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.222.1.181 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1561696778.A.F1D.html
