〔記者吳清正/綜合外電報導〕松坂大輔昨天以完美的表現擊敗古巴,讓古巴心服口服,古巴總教練維雷斯就表示,松坂是令人非常尊敬的投手。
「今天我們被比我們好的投手打敗了,關鍵就是我們打不好松坂的球。」維雷斯說:「松坂是曾經參加奧運和經典賽等國際賽的知名投手,我們今天面對的是一位了不起的投手,我們對他非常尊敬。」
維雷斯表示,輸球對古巴而言,並不是經常發生的事,但是總有一天會發生,而在古巴不常輸球的隊史上,松坂可能是他們最不想碰上的投手。
從2004年雅典奧運棒球賽開始,松坂3次對古巴先發都拿下勝投,投18.1局只失4分,防禦率1.96,飆出20次三振,古巴奪得雅典奧運金牌,唯一的敗仗就是輸給松坂,今年經典賽又在松坂手裡吞下第一敗,難怪維雷斯不得不甘拜下風。
日本隊捕手城島健司則指出,松坂昨天的球速非常好,讓他忍不住頻頻回頭看測速顯示是不是有150公里,也因為松坂的快速球氣勢十足,讓他的各種變化球更有威力。

不可諱言 他真的近乎完美的強
台灣幾時才能有這種選手?
(有的話小時候也被操爆了)
By the way, US baseball scouting rated Wang higher than 松坂 this year. Wang got a score of 70 out of 80. 松坂 is 65. Johan Santana is at 75. Surprisingly, CC is rated at 70, so actually not higher than Wang.
Below is Wang's report:
Strengths
Wang has one of the best power sinking fastballs in the game. He is young and durable and he handles the big game pressure very well. He goes deep into games, which allows the Yankees’ offense to take over.
Weaknesses
He is not a strikeout type pitcher, and successful post-season pitchers tend to be strikeout pitchers. He will use predictable pitch sequences, giving opponents the opportunity to guess pitches. His breaking slider is inconsistent.
Sinking Fastball (90-94 mph)
Movement: May have the best movement of any fastball in the major leagues — when it’s right. His best pitch without question.
Command: He will command this pitch down in the zone, and he will use it to both sides of the plate. He achieves very good movement both inside and out of the strike zone.
Plan: He gets strike one with his fastball and he does it on the first pitch. He usually starts hitters away with his fastball
Slider (81-85 mph)
Movement: He throws a hard slider that has shown improvement with depth and spin. It currently has average break but shows signs of quick late break.
Command: Wang commands this pitch best to his glove-side. Once in a while he’ll attempt a backdoor slider to a left-handed hitter. Most misses with this pitch are down and away from right-handed hitters.
Plan: Wang will usually use this pitch in middle counts (1-1, 2-1). When he is throwing his slider for strikes early, he tends to get more swings and misses when it is used as an out-pitch later in the count.
Split-Finger (79-84 mph)
Movement: His splitter has good tailing action and sink to it.
Command: Wang will command this pitch both in and out of the strike zone.
Plan: He usually uses this pitch when he is ahead in the count, most often to left-handed hitters. He has a tendency to leave this ball up in the zone, and he doesn’t have a lot of confidence in it.
Strengths
Matsuzaka has plus mound presence, meaning he rises to the occasion in big games and key match-ups. He has two above average swing-and-miss pitches: his fastball and split-finger. He’s very durable, especially given the number of pitches he throws during and between starts. He’s a very good fielder and is quick to home plate, meaning runners have a more difficult time running on him.
So yeah, I guess he is a pretty good big game pitcher.
