Reading Closer Jesen Therrien Climbing Behind Big-League Slider, Work With Eric Gagne By Gordie Jones | CSNPhilly.com May 20, 2017 READING, Pa. - Reading Fightin Phils closer Jesen Therrien, early in what appears to be a breakout season, is likely not major-league ready just yet. But part of him is. ＡＡ的closer Therrien 幾天前介紹過... 似乎有某部份已 MLB good to go ! "He's come up with a big-league slider," Reading pitching coach Steve Schrenk said before Friday's game against New Hampshire. "In my opinion, it's ready for the big leagues. … He's still got some stuff to learn, but his slider has become a very good pitch for him." 發憤讀書隊的投手教練表示 Therrien的滑球 絕對已有大檸檬的水準！ Therrien can only hope the rest comes in time - that he is able to continue his climb up the organizational ladder piece by piece, step by step. A Montreal native in his sixth professional season, he tries not to think about the big picture, tries not to discern how he fits in the Phillies' master plan. 扯吧? 進入我PHI的體系 竟已第六個年頭 ! "Those are decisions, I'm not the one making [them]," he said, "so my thing is,I control what I can do and control one pitch at a time." Especially the slider, which the 24-year-old right-hander uses to complement a low-90s fastball. He pitched a scoreless inning to earn Friday's 7-6 victory - which came courtesy of Scott Kingery's walk-off solo homer in the ninth - and is now 2-1 with a 1.19 ERA in 17 appearances. 插播： 金吉利又來了個雙響貓！ 雖然在讀書隊主場 不值得太過 get high 然而 金吉利的split數據裡 客場的長打率竟然比主場更高 ˋ(O_O)ˋ 意味著 our precious is the real deal ! Therrien has also converted all seven of his save opportunities and is riding a 17 1/3-inning scoreless string covering his last 12 outings. His start is a matter of improved confidence and command. While he struggled with his control earlier in his career - his pre-Double A strikeout/walk ratio was roughly 2-1 - he has been able to pound thestrike zone consistently since arriving in Reading late last season. He has 53 strikeouts and eight walks in 39 2/3 innings over that span, including 31 and three in 22 2/3 innings this season. 去年之前 Therrien跟所有小檸檬同學通病~都同一個樣兒 就是控球鳥蛋一發 然而 為啥一年後 突然靈光乍現頓超了呢？ He attributes that to his offseason work with fellow Montreal native Eric Gagne, who won the 2003 Cy Young Award after saving 55 games with the Dodgers. The 41-year-old Gagne, whose decade-long major-league career ended in '08, called Therrien out of the blue three years ago and invited him to his home in Arizona, and Therrien has stayed with Gagne for two months each of those winters. 加拿大人Therrien 把功勞 歸功予前名closer Eric Gagne ！ 同樣也是蒙特婁土著的 Gagne 三年前 抽不冷子～打了電話給 Therrien 邀請他季後到亞利桑那家裡作客 結果 這幾年 只要是冬季 Therrien就會到甘尼家~跟他泡在一起 They have long-tossed. They have worked on mechanics. And they have discussed the mental aspects of their craft - things Gagne is still trying to put to use with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League, and things Therrien has found useful as well. 他們倆 一起傳接球 甘尼幫他調整姿勢 並成了心靈導師 "He helped me a lot with making adjustments quickly," Therrien said of Gagne. "That's what I'm doing. If I'm pitching a pitch that's not in the right location, I know why, so just keep that in mind and make the adjustment quickly." Schrenk, while not completely aware of what goes on between the two pitchers each offseason, sees a little of Gagne's trademark aggressiveness in Therrien. "Whatever it takes for guys," Schrenk said. AA投手教練還搞不清楚～原來是這段情緣～讓Therrien洗髓換骨 不過 當人家把故事告訴他後 Schrenk表示 還真感覺得到 Therrien的投球裡 有甘尼的影子 Therrien is the son of a French Canadian mother and Haitian father. Growing up in Canada, he played some pond hockey, and while he remains a fan of the sport, baseball was always his game. Therrien 的父親是海地人 母親是法裔加拿大人 莫怪 Therrien 的膚色 會有點小黝黑 (跟JP克勞佛~還真有點像rz ) "I remember one day I was in elementary school, and the teacher asked everybody, 'Hey, what do you want to do in life?'" he recalled. "Some people say president. Some people say, 'I want to be a teacher.' My thing was baseball player." 小淑後 老師問大家~我的志願 我就說我長大後要當棒球選手！ He developed quickly, pitching for Team Canada's Under-18 World Cup team at age 17 and for the same club a year later in the Pan Am Games. He was also part of the national team in the World Baseball Classic earlier this spring. Therrien與Gagne 都是今年ＷＢＣ加拿大國家隊的投手 可惡 之前某文章騙偶 害偶被誤導 記得那十人名單裡沒有Therrien \(#‵′)// The Phils took Therrien in the 17th round of the 2011 draft, but he went just 2-8 over his first two seasons of rookie ball, primarily as a starter. His control was, of course, the culprit; he offset 60 strikeouts in 79 2/3 innings with 35 walks. 之前 Therrien本來是當先發投手在養 不過 高三振率的功績 全部被ＢＢ連發給抵銷一空rz "He just wasn't being consistent enough to throw strikes to start, without having to go to our bullpen," Schrenk said. 教練說 他沒辦法長局數的維持控球穩定rz Next stop, a relief role. 所以 最終改練了ＲＰ "Once they put me in the bullpen, I just fell in love with it." Therrien said. Therrien表示 牛棚一進～成主顧 (愛上了~不想出來了~的意思) He began progressing through the system. And now he continues his climb, piece by piece and step by step. MLB官網的馬友友 (Mayo) 下一期的百大新秀 俺就要看到Therrien被列入我PHI的三十阿哥內 醬泥有聽懂了嗎？ 還不快親此～謝孔隆恩 <(_ _)> -- David Brian Cone Mets KC Jays NYY BOS SP Ht: 6'1" Wt: 190 Bat: L Throw: R Born: 1-2-63 Kansas City YR Team W L ERA IP BB SO 1999.7.18 Perfect Game 94 Royals 16 5 2.94 171.2 54 132 1994 Cy Young Award 98 Yankees 20 7 3.55 207.2 59 209 1998 AL Wins Leader Ttl 14-Year 180 102 3.19 2590.0 985 2420 '90'91'92 StrikeOut King --
