Times Topic Today - Chien-Ming Wang

Sunday, April 13, 2008 NY TIMES

王建民是Yankees中最重要的投手之一,他在未來甚至有可能變得更有價值。他在情緒表現的不外露如同一個人在打盹一樣。他穩定地製造滾地球如同一個教練在對內野手做滾地球練習。

王,在2005年非正式加入Yankees後,已經變成了球隊的關鍵。他也在他的國家-台灣,變成了一個英雄。

這位右投投手最常依賴他的時速96英哩(約155公里)四縫線快速球。但是,他也擁有下墜球、滑球、變速球與指叉球等武器。

Chien-Ming Wang is one of the most important pitchers on the Yankees and, presumably, will become even more valuable in the future. He shows as much emotion as someone who is napping. He produces grounders almost as steadily as a coach tapping them to infielders.

Wang, has become a lynchpin to the Yankees since joining them unceremoniously in 2005. He’s also become a hero in his home country of Taiwan.

The right-handed pitcher depends mostly on a four-seam fastball around 96 miles an hour. But, he also has in his arsenal a diving sinker, a slider, a changeup and a split-finger fastball.
