Teng values bullpen experience, but aspires to join Astros' deep rotation Shortly after his arrival at Houston's Spring Training complex a few weeks ago, Astros pitching coaches did something with Kai-Wei Teng that none of his other teams had ever done. Houston's coaches prepared a long presentation, complete with tables and graphics showing him how to improve this season, often through better utilization of his five pitches. “That really impressed,” Teng said via an interpreter. “Really impressed.” 几周前抵达太空人春训基地後不久，邓恺威就遇到一件过去从未有球队为他做过的事情。 太空人投手教练团为他准备了一场完整的分析简报，内容包含各种表格与图表，详细说明他在本季如何透过更有效地运用手中的五种球路来提升表现。 邓恺威透过翻译表示：「那真的让我非常惊讶，也留下很深的印象。」 Houston acquired the 27-year-old righty in a January trade with San Francisco following a 2025 season in which he posted a 2-4 record with a 6.37 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 29 2/3 innings. 太空人在今年1月透过交易，从旧金山巨人网罗这位27岁右投。 邓恺威在2025球季出赛成绩为2胜4败、防御率6.37，在29又2/3局中送出39次三振。 A starter during nearly all of his Minor League career with Minnesota and San Francisco, Teng transitioned to some bullpen duty two years ago with the Giants. Only seven of his 12 Major League appearances over the past two seasons came as a starter, including his final six outings. 邓恺威在小联盟时期大多以先发投手身分出赛，先後效力於双城与巨人体系。不过两年前在巨人队时，他开始被安排部分牛棚任务。 过去两个球季，他在大联盟的12场出赛中只有7场是先发登板，其中包括最後6场比赛。 “The experience there actually helped me a lot to adjust this year,” Teng said of his bullpen time with the Giants. 谈到在巨人牛棚的经验，邓恺威表示其实对自己帮助很大。 「那段经验其实帮助我很多，也让我能更好地调整自己迎接今年球季。」他说。 All three of Teng's Grapefruit League appearances thus far have come out of the bullpen. That will change on Friday when he draws the start in Jupiter against the Cardinals. “I really look forward to it,” Teng said. “I just try to stay locked in and to focus on the next pitch and trying to be my best, do my best.” 本季春训至今，邓恺威在Grapefruit League的三场出赛全部都是从牛棚登板。不过这个情况即将改变——他将在周五对圣路易红雀的比赛中担任先发投手，地点在佛州Jupiter。 邓恺威说：「我真的很期待这场先发。」 「我就是专注在每一球，尽全力投出最好的表现。」 Thus far this spring, Teng has allowed two earned runs -- both on homers -- in 5 2/3 innings with four walks and four strikeouts. 截至目前春训为止，邓恺威在5又2/3局投球中被攻下2分责失分，两分都是全垒打失分，同时送出4次保送与4次三振。 Manager Joe Espada hopes to see Teng build on what he's already accomplished this spring. “We're going to stretch him,” Espada said. “We'll get him twice through that lineup and see him pass that 35- to 40-pitch mark, how that looks.” 太空人总教练Joe Espada表示，希望看到邓恺威能在春训持续累积成果。 「我们会让他逐步拉长局数，」Espada说，「让他至少面对打线两轮，并观察他在35到40球以上时的状况。」 Teng's especially pleased with the feel of his sweeper, which elicits swings and misses. “He creates whiffs,” Espada said. “Lefties, righties, he can get punchies. And if you can get punchouts, that plays.” 邓恺威表示，目前最有手感的球种是他的横扫球（sweeper），这颗球能有效让打者挥空。 Espada也肯定这一点：「他的球能制造挥空，不管是左打还是右打都能被压制。如果你能制造三振，那在比赛中就非常有价值。」 Espada and the Astros are still considering starting the season with a six-man rotation. With Hunter Brown, Tatsuya Imai, Cristian Javier, Mike Burrows, Spencer Arrighetti and Lance McCullers Jr. all vying for those spots, Teng appears to be on the outside looking in at the moment. Espada与太空人球团目前仍在评估，新球季是否采用六人先发轮值。 包括 Hunter Brown Tatsuya Imai Cristian Javier Mike Burrows Spencer Arrighetti Lance McCullers Jr. 都在竞争先发位置。就目前情况来看，邓恺威暂时仍在轮值之外。 Given the choice, Teng would prefer to start. “So for now, I personally like being a starter, but you know, whatever the team needs me to do, I'll do my best,” Teng said. “My main goal is to help the team win.” 如果可以自己选择，邓恺威仍希望担任先发投手。 「我个人还是比较喜欢先发，」他说，「但不管球队需要我做什麽角色，我都会尽全力完成。我的目标就是帮助球队赢球。」 If Teng does make the big league squad as a member of the ‘pen, he'll likely fill the role of swingman/long reliever. 如果邓恺威最终以牛棚投手身分进入大联盟名单，他很可能会扮演长中继或swingman的角色。 It's a role Espada has grown to value. “One thing I've learned in two years in this job is that those guys in the middle are very important,” Espada said. “They protect your starting pitcher, and they save the back end of your bullpen. And if you could have multiple guys that could do that, or can be an opener, there's value to all that.” Espada表示，这种投手在球队中其实相当重要。 「在这份工作两年的时间，我学到一件事：中间角色的投手非常关键。」Espada说。 「他们可以保护先发投手，也能减轻牛棚後段投手的负担。如果你有几个人能胜任这种角色，甚至能担任 opener，那都是很有价值的。」 以上AI帮忙润稿翻译。 来源：https://www.mlb.com/news/kai-wei-teng-eyes-starting-role-with-astros?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share 春训第一场表现完美後，第二三场只能说还有很大的调整空间。 这周六要迎来第一场先发，看我空教练Espada的叙述，会让他投个长局数观察对战打线两轮的状况了。 我空预计采用六人轮值预计 Brown/今井/Burrows/Arrighetti/McCullers/Javier 基本上前三号很稳 Arrighetti有控球问题 院长春训状况很好，球速也有回来，但院长之所以是院长还是开季才能知道状况 Javier春训状况不太好 基於去年我空投手各种痛各种崩 赛季初的连战能两边跑的投手相对很重要，邓又有选择权可以上下，对教练团的弹性非常大。 不过还是要取决於明天先发的表现了。 希望邓能卡进开季先发名单，加油！ ----- Sent from JPTT on my iPhone --
