真的很好奇最後会去哪里 By Ken Rosenthal Murakami mystery continues 村上之谜仍在延续 Corner infielder Munetaka Murakami’s boom-or-bust potential makes him the most fascinating of the Japanese free agents. His 45-day window to negotiate with a m ajor-league team expires on Dec. 22 at 5 p.m. ET. And his destination remains a mystery. 角落内野手村上宗隆那种「不是大爆发、就是大失败」的潜在风险，使他成为所有日本自由 球员中最引人注目的存在。他与大联盟球队的 45 天谈判窗口将於美东时间 12 月 22 日下 午 5 点截止，而他的去向至今仍是个谜。 Murakami is tantalizing because of his age (26 in February) and massive power (2 65 home runs in eight NPB seasons, including 56 in 2022). But major-league execu tives continue to express concern about his swing-and-miss tendencies. 村上之所以令人垂涎，在於他的年龄优势（明年 2 月满 26 岁）以及惊人的长打火力（8 个 NPB 赛季累积 265 支全垒打，其中 2022 年单季就轰出 56 发）。不过，大联盟高层始 终对他挥空、被三振偏多的倾向感到忧心。 Murakami’s 25 percent strikeout rate is actually lower than Shohei Ohtani’s 27 percent mark during his ages 18 to 22 seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball ( NPB). But it’s also significantly higher than Seiya Suzuki’s 16 percent rate i n NPB before he signed with the Chicago Cubs in 2022. 村上 25% 的三振率，其实比大谷翔平在 18 到 22 岁、效力日本职棒（NPB）时的 27% 还 要低；但同时也明显高於铃木诚也在 2022 年加盟芝加哥小熊之前，在 NPB 所缴出的 16% 三振率。 Suzuki has been a productive major-league hitter. Ohtani has developed into an o therworldly one. But another Japanese free-agent infielder, Kazuma Okamoto, is v iewed as perhaps a better bet than Murakami to succeed in the majors. 铃木诚也已被证明是相当有产能的大联盟打者；而大谷翔平则成长为近乎「异次元」等级的 存在。不过，另一位日本自由球员内野手冈本和真，则被视为在大联盟成功的把握度，或许 比村上还要高。 Okamoto, whose negotiating window expires on Jan. 4, has a career strikeout rate in Japan of 18 percent. 冈本和真的谈判窗口将於 1 月 4 日截止，而他在日本职棒生涯的三振率为 18%。 --
