Through the first four-plus months of this season, St. Louis first baseman Alec Burleson has recorded nearly 1,000 putouts. That sounds like a lot of work, and it is; it’s the largest figure of any player in the Majors in
2026. That number, however, encompasses two very different parts of his job.
在這個賽季的前四個多月中，聖路易紅雀的一壘手 Alec Burleson 已經記錄了將近 1,000次刺殺（putouts）。這聽起來是一項繁重的工作，事實也確實如此；這是 2026 年大聯盟（Majors）所有球員中最高的數字。然而，這個數字包含了他工作中截然不同的兩個部分。
Approximately 25% of that total is fielding batted balls, at which Burleson, who had spent much of his time in the outfield in his previous three seasons before becoming St. Louis’ primary first baseman in 2026, has been a
work-in-progress. His minus-4 Outs Above Average this year is adequate, but mildly below average.
在總數中，大約有 25% 是處理擊出球的防守，而在 2026 年成為聖路易紅雀的主力一壘手之前，Alec Burleson 在過去三個賽季的絕大部分時間都在外野度過，因此這項技術仍在持續改進中。他今年 -4 的出局數超越預期值（Outs Above Average / OAA）算尚可，但略低於平均水準。
The remaining 75% of those putouts, then, are about a first baseman’s other big responsibility – catching throws from his infield mates. Given the
massive difference in opportunities, that would seem to be a far more
important skill, yet even that has a necessary breakdown within it. Some large portions of that figure, one would assume, are fairly typical
on-the-money throws that any semi-competent professional first sacker would be able to receive easily.
因此，剩餘 75% 的刺殺則關乎一壘手的另一個重大職責──接來自內野隊友的傳球。考慮到機會次數的巨大差距，這似乎是一項重要得多的技能，但即使是這項技能，內部也有必要進行細分。可以設想，這個數字中的很大一部分是相當典型的精準傳球，任何稍微合格的職業一壘手（first sacker）都能輕鬆接住。
We haven’t really known, though. This aspect of a first baseman’s life has been a blind spot in public Statcast data, and while other sites do publish some information about ‘scoops,’ that’s only the number of successful
ones, and even then that’s only a small portion of the throws a first
baseman has to haul in, despite the outsized importance they receive.
不過，我們過去其實並不真正了解。一壘手生涯的這一維度過去一直是公開 Statcast 數據中的盲點，雖然其他網站確實會發布一些關於「撈球/挖地瓜接球」（scoops）的資訊，但那僅僅是成功接球的次數，而且即便如此，儘管這些傳球備受關注，也僅占一壘手必須接住的傳球中的一小部分。
That, then, is the point of the latest Statcast metric at Baseball Savant, which evaluates the performance of a first baseman at receiving the ball. It’s about scoops, sure, but it’s a lot more than that. It’s about the
hundreds of throws a first baseman has to handle, and it’s about realizing which one of them actually means much of anything.
這正是 Baseball Savant 最新 Statcast 數據指標的核心所在，該指標旨在評估一壘手在接球方面的表現。當然，這與撈球（scoops）有關，但遠不止於此。這關乎一壘手必須處理的數百次傳球，並且關乎釐清其中哪些傳球才真正具有重大意義。
The way this works is like most other Statcast metrics, which is to say that it’s not just, “Did you make the play?” but also “... and how difficult
was that opportunity expected to be?” In the same way that a sinking liner in the gap is much harder for an outfielder than a lazy can-of-corn pop fly, a throw you have to catch on a short hop or well wide of the bag shouldn’t be considered the same as an on-target no-brainer.
這項指標的運作方式與大多數其他 Statcast 指標類似，也就是說，它不僅僅衡量「你是否完成了防守？」，還衡量「……該次防守機會預計的難度有多高？」。就像外野手處理外野兩側空檔的平飛下沉球比處理輕鬆的沖天炮高飛球（can-of-corn pop fly）要困難得多一樣，你必須靠彈跳接球（short hop）或偏離壘包很遠才能接到的傳球，不應被視為與精準無虞的傳球同等對待。
Put those expectations on every play, accumulated over the course of the season, and you’ll find out that the best receiving first baseman this year is Burleson, who has added +6 Outs Above Average simply via being good at collecting throws from JJ Wetherholt, Masyn Wynn, Blaze Jordan, and all the rest.
將這些預期值應用到每一次防守中，並在整個賽季中累積，你會發現今年接傳球表現最出色的一壘手是 Alec Burleson，他僅憑藉擅長接住來自 JJ Wetherholt、Masyn Wynn、Blaze Jordan 以及其他所有隊友的傳球，就貢獻了 +6 的出局數超越預期值（Outs Above Average / OAA）。
(Alec Burleson has compiled the most value in 2026 via receiving throws from infielders.)
（Alec Burleson 在 2026 年透過接內野手傳球創造了最高的價值。）
This data is available going back to 2021, and there's a pair of extremely satisfying names atop that cumulative list.
這項數據可以追溯到 2021 年，而在這份累積排行榜的頂端，出現了一對非常令人信服的名字。
(Freddie Freeman narrowly edges out Matt Olson atop the 1B receiving value board since 2021.)
（自 2021 年以來，Freddie Freeman 在一壘手接球價值榜上以微弱優勢險勝 Matt Olson 佔據榜首。）
It’s true that Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman have played the most games of any first basemen since 2021. It’s also almost certainly true that when
thinking about first basemen with the most shining defensive reputations over the last decade, you’d think of that pair nearly immediately.
確實，自 2021 年以來，Matt Olson 和 Freddie Freeman 是所有一壘手中出賽場次最多的兩位。同樣幾乎可以肯定的是，當你想到過去十年中防守聲譽最頂尖的一壘手時，你幾乎會立刻想到這兩個人。
So: How does this work? The method is explained in more detail by MLB.com Senior Data Architect Tom Tango here, but simply put: On each throw, the location of the throw is accounted for, as well as the speed and location of the batter running to first. Based on those inputs, we can see how often that opportunity gets turned into an out. (That last part is important, because if a runner is far away from first base, then a first baseman has more chance to recover and get back to the bag. It's not all about the throw.)
那麼，這項數據是如何運作的？MLB.com Senior Data Architect Tom Tango 在此處更詳細地解釋了這種方法，但簡單來說：每次傳球時，都會考慮傳球的位置，以及打者跑向一壘的速度和位置。根據這些輸入條件，我們可以算出該次防守機會轉化為刺殺出局機率。（最後這部分很重要，因為如果跑者距離一壘還很遠，一壘手就有更多機會修正防守並回到壘包，這並不完全取決於傳球品質。）
That’s all taken into account at the moment the first baseman can actually do anything about it, which is not the time the throw is unleashed, but the time that the ball reaches an eight-foot perimeter around the first base bag, which is roughly the stretching radius of an outstretched player. This is entirely about, “What does the first baseman do with the opportunity he gets near the bag?”
所有這些變數都會在一壘手真正能做出防守動作的那一刻被納入計算──那不是球被傳出的瞬間，而是球抵達一壘壘包周圍 8 英尺範圍內的那一刻，這大約是一名球員伸手伸展所能觸及的半徑。這完全關乎：「一壘手利用他在壘包附近獲得的機會做了什麼？」
For Burleson, those hundreds and hundreds of throws look like this:
對 Alec Burleson 來說，那數以百計的接球機會看起來就像這樣：
(Every throw Burleson has seen in 2026, from top-down and left-side infielder views.)
（Alec Burleson 在 2026 年面對的每一次傳球，分別從俯瞰與左側內野手視角呈現。）
In Burleson’s case, more than 80% of those throw chances have indeed been those on-target, on-the-money ones, the kind like this that you’d generally never pay attention to. He’s had 420 on-target chances, and 414 of those have turned into outs. That's nearly 99%, but it collects him all of +2 OAA for all of that effort.
以 Alec Burleson 為例，超過 80% 的傳球機會確實是那些到位且精準的傳球，也就是你通常根本不會去注意到的那種。他獲得了 420 次精準傳球的機會，其中 414 次成功轉化為刺殺出局。這幾乎達到了 99%，但所有這些努力僅為他累積了 +2 的出局數超越預期值（Outs Above Average / OAA）。
If that doesn't seem like much, it shouldn't. After all, you’re endlessly doing things like this, fielding a lightly-tossed throw where the runner is more than 30 feet away from the base at the time it comes to you. It’s hard to compile that much value on doing that.
如果這看起來不多，那也是正常的。畢竟你只是日復一日地處理這類防守──處理一次輕輕拋出的傳球，當球到達你手中時，跑者距離壘包還有 30 多英尺遠。光靠做這些事本來就很難累積太多價值。
The end result of that is a billion throws that look like this (which gain a first baseman +0.01 out, or basically nothing) …
其最終結果就是有無數次像這樣的傳球（這只會讓一壘手獲得 +0.01 次出局數，基本上等於沒有）……
https://www.mlb.com/video/jojo-romero-in-play-…
… and many fewer that look like this (in which Burleson earned nearly +0.25 an out, since other first basemen failed to convert this opportunity about a quarter of the time)
……以及少得多的像這樣的傳球（Alec Burleson 在這類防守中賺取了將近 +0.25 次出局數，因為其他一壘手大約有四分之一的時間無法將這種機會轉化為刺殺出局）
https://www.mlb.com/video/dustin-may-in-play-o…
If you go further and break down throws into high, low, wide, on-target, scoops, and bounces, you can get really granular about who does what.
如果你進一步將傳球細分為高球、低球、偏球、精準傳球、撈球/挖地瓜接球（scoops）和彈跳球（bounces），你就能非常細緻地分析誰擅長處理什麼樣的球。
(The various categories a throw to first base can fall into.)
（傳向一壘的傳球可能歸類的各種範疇。）
It turns out, Yuli Gurriel was the best at scoops and bounces dating back to 2021, and the long-limbed Freeman is the best at corralling both high and wide throws. For just 2026, it's Houston's Christian Walker who has the most scoops, at 10. Some of them look extremely smooth.
事實證明，追溯至 2021 年，Yuli Gurriel 最擅長處理撈球（scoops）和彈跳球（bounces），而手長腳長的 Freddie Freeman 則最擅長抓下偏高和偏寬的傳球。單看2026 年，休士頓太空人的 Christian Walker 以 10 次成功撈球（scoops）位居榜首，其中有些動作看起來極其流暢。
https://www.mlb.com/video/bryan-king-in-play-o…
Thanks to that breakdown, we can bucket out every throw opportunity a first baseman has received since the start of this data in 2021, and you’ll see how few opportunities there really are for a first baseman to distinguish himself.
多虧了這項細分，我們可以把自 2021 年該數據開始統計以來，一壘手接到的每一次傳球機會進行歸類，而你會看到一壘手真正能脫穎而出的機會其實有多少。
Where are the throws that a first baseman has to receive?
一壘手必須接住的傳球落在哪裡？
- On Target 82% （精準到位）
- High 5% （偏高）
- Wide 5% （偏寬）
- Low 3% （偏低）
- Bounce 3% （彈跳球）
- Scoops 2% （撈球/挖地瓜接球）
Eight of 10 throws, in another words, should overwhelmingly become outs. (And they are: 98% of on-target throws become on-target outs. Only two-thirds of scoops do, but again scoops are much less frequent.)
換句話說，十次傳球中有八次絕大多數都應該變成刺殺出局。（事實也確實如此：98% 的精準傳球都能順利造成出局；而撈球（scoops）只有三分之二能造成出局，但撈球出現的頻率要低得多。）
This is mostly why scoops, as exciting as they are, don’t carry as much
value as you’d think – because they rarely ever happen. Pete Alonso has had the most scoop opportunities of any first baseman this year, for example, but even that is only 15, or fewer than once per week. (Remember that scoops and bounces are separated here, because they’re different kinds of plays.)
這主要就是為什麼撈球（scoops）雖然精彩，卻沒有你想像中那麼高價值的理由──因為它們極少發生。以 Pete Alonso 為例，他今年擁有所有一壘手中最多的撈球（scoop）機會，但即便如此也只有 15 次，平均每週還不到一次。（請記住，這裡將撈球和彈跳球分開計算，因為它們是不同類型的防守。）
Burleson, in the midst of a breakout hitting season, spoke about how he
approaches receiving throws in a video for Cardinals.com back in April.
正處於打擊爆發賽季的 Alec Burleson，早在四月份接受 Cardinals.com 的影片採訪時，就曾談到他是如何看待和處理接傳球這項工作的。
https://www.mlb.com/video/burly-talks-1b
"It's an art,” Burleson told Jim Hayes. “You can say it's an art. [You
need] soft hands for sure, and there's not any pick that's the same as the last. Depends on the runners, depends on who's throwing it, depends on where it's coming from in the infield. You just take as many reps as you can in practice."
「這是一門藝術，」Alec Burleson 告訴 Jim Hayes。「你絕對可以說這是一門藝術。你肯定需要柔和的手感，而且沒有一次接低彈跳球（pick）是跟上一次完全相同的。這取決於跑者是誰、取決於傳球者是誰，也取決於球是從內野的哪個位置傳過來的。你只能在練習中盡可能多做幾次重複訓練。」
“You're reading the throw,” he also added. “You know who is running, so
you know how much time the infielder has, whether he's going to catch and go– or [if] he's going to have a little bit of time.”
「你得去判讀那個傳球，」他補充道。「你知道誰在跑壘，所以你知道內野手有多少時間，他是接到球就得立刻傳出，還是他能有一點充裕的時間。」
Which is great, because that kind of context is basically exactly what the metric is looking for.
這太棒了，因為這種情境背景基本上正是這項數據指標所要尋找的。
Back in the first month of 2025, when Alonso was getting all sorts of praise for this skill, then-Mets manager Carlos Mendoza issued a very high
compliment. "He’s probably the best in the game at it, to be honest with you,” as told to Anthony DiComo. That, by this metric in 2024, was exactly
right. He was the best at it -- though it hasn't quite sustained since.
回到 2025 年的第一個球季月份，當 Pete Alonso 因這項技能獲得各種讚譽時，時任紐約大都會總教練 Carlos Mendoza 在接受 Anthony DiComo 採訪時給出了極高的評價：「老實跟你說，他可能是這項技術全聯盟最優秀的。」根據這項指標在 2024 年的統計，這完全正確，他當時確實是表現最好的——儘管此後這種勢頭並未能完全維持下去。
Interestingly, while Burleson is in his first year as a full-time first
baseman and is excelling, we find that on the other end of this are three defenders who arrived in the Majors at other positions.
有趣的是，雖然 Alec Burleson 處於他作為全職一壘手的第一年且表現優異，但我們發現，在這項指標的另一端，是三位登上大聯盟時守其他位置的防守球員。
-8 Bryce Harper
-7 Luis Arraez
-7 Rafael Devers
Arraez famously declared his intent to stay at second base this year, which has worked out for him; his 5’10” height, as you’ll shortly see, may have been working against him. Devers is barely more than a calendar year into his transition to first base.
Luis Arraez 今年公開宣佈希望留在二壘，這對他來說成效不錯；如你很快就會看到的，他 5 呎 10 吋的身高可能一直對他不利。而 Rafael Devers 轉守一壘的時間也才剛滿一年多一點。
Harper, who famously moved from the outfield to first in 2023 (to initially good reviews) was having a down year on defense even before this was
incorporated. While he's been fine at scoops, it's been more about the
non-scooping aspect of this.
Bryce Harper 在 2023 年從外野移至一壘（最初獲得了不錯的評價），但甚至在納入這項數據之前，他今年的防守表現就處於低迷狀態。雖然他在處理撈球（scoops）方面表現尚可，但更多問題出在非撈球的防守環節上。
A lot of it seems to be that he doesn't always hold the bag on throws that aren't perfectly made, like this:
這其中很大一部分原因似乎在於，面對傳得不夠完美的球時，他並不總是能踩住壘包，就像這次一樣：
https://www.mlb.com/es/video/jesus-luzardo-in-…
Sometimes, it’s just something weird, like the time earlier this year when he failed to corral a perfect throw because, apparently, the ball went right through his glove. Nothing we can do about that – the out wasn’t made, and he was indeed charged with an E3 – but it’s kind of a bad beat, too.
有時這純粹是一些離奇的事情，比如今年早些時候，他未能接住一次精準的傳球，原因顯然是球直接穿過了他的手套。對此我們無能為力──出局數沒有拿到，他確實也被記了一次一壘手失誤（E3 / Error by First Baseman）──但這某種程度上也算是運氣欠佳。
https://www.mlb.com/video/ball-slips-through-h…
All this lets us ask some pretty fascinating questions, like these.
這一切讓我們得以提出一些相當引人入勝的問題，例如以下這些。
Does being tall matter?
身高重要嗎？
When the Phillies moved Harper to the outfield earlier this month, shortstop Trea Turner had some interesting thoughts about replacing the 6’1” Harper with the 6’4” Alec Bohm.
當費城費城人在本月早些時候將 Bryce Harper 移至外野時，游擊手 Trea Turner 對於用6 呎 4 吋的 Alec Bohm 取代 6 呎 1 吋的 Bryce Harper 發表了一些有趣的看法。
“(Bryce) picked the ball great for us this year, and he did a good job,”Turner said. “But sometimes a bigger target just makes you feel a little better. And then it feels like you make better throws just because you know you have so much room for error. Where there’s not like, ‘I have to throw this one perfect,’ or, ‘I have to do this.’ So, yeah. It can definitely
help sometimes. Especially on high throws, too, where you’re like, ‘Oh, I kind of let that one go up a little bit.’ He can kind of stay on the base and stay on those.”
「（Bryce Harper）今年為我們接低彈跳球接得很好，做得不錯，」Trea Turner 表示。「但有時候一個更大的目標就是會讓你感覺安心一些。然後你會覺得自己的傳球品質變好了，因為你知道自己有很大的容錯空間。不會覺得『我這一球必須傳得很完美』或『我必須做到這樣』。所以，是的，這有時確實會有幫助。特別是在傳高球的時候，當你心想『噢，我這一球好像傳高了一點』時，他依然能夠留在壘包上並接住那些球。」
The stats back that up. Harper was +1 on bounces and scoops, but -4 on high throws, the weakest first baseman in the Majors at that.
數據證實了這一點。Bryce Harper 在彈跳球（bounces）和撈球（scoops）上的表現是+1，但在偏高傳球上卻是 -4，是大聯盟在該項目上最弱的一壘手。
So, what about it? Does being tall help here? Overall, maybe a very little, but less than you'd think. We looked at the 30 first basemen who had 1,000 throw chances over the last six years, and it's only because of the presence of the 6’4” Freeman and Olson that makes this look like a trend at all.
Without that pair, there's basically no relationship at all -- as shown by the relatively shorter Gurriel (6’0”), Josh Naylor (5’10”), and Walker (5’11”), who all rate well.
那麼，事實究竟如何？身材高大在這方面是否有幫助？總體而言，可能只有極小的影響，但比你想像的要少。我們調查了過去六年中擁有 1,000 次接傳球機會的 30 位一壘手，完全是因為 6 呎 4 吋的 Freddie Freeman 和 Matt Olson 的存在，才讓這看起來像是一種趨勢。如果沒有這兩個人，兩者之間基本上沒有任何相關性──相對較矮的 Yuli Gurriel（6 呎 0 吋）、Josh Naylor（5 呎 10 吋）和 Christian Walker（5 呎 11 吋）的評價都很出色就證明了這一點。
Call this a loose relationship, but probably not a terribly strong one – you can be short and play a good first base.
可以說這是一種鬆散的關聯，但可能不是很強烈的關聯──即使身高較矮，你也一樣能守好一壘。
(Data from 2021-2026.)
But for high throws, shorter first baseman are at a more notable
disadvantage. Of the top 10 fielders at getting high throws, only Michael Busch (5’11”) is shorter than six feet tall. Of the eight weakest at high throws, every single once is 6’1” or shorter.
不過對於偏高的傳球，較矮的一壘手確實處於較為明顯的劣勢。在接偏高傳球排名前 10名的野手中，只有 Michael Busch（5 呎 11 吋）身高低於 6 呎。而在處理高球最弱的8 名球員中，每一個人的身高都在 6 呎 1 吋或以下。
How to explain the disconnect, that tall first basemen are better at high throws, but not better overall? It might be that taller first basemen have a more difficult time on bounce throws, the ones that impact the grass more than 15 feet away.
如何解釋這種落差──即身材高大的一壘手更擅長接高球，但整體表現並未更好？這可能是因為身材高大的一壘手在處理彈跳傳球時更為吃力，特別是那些落點距離壘包 15 呎以外草皮上的彈跳球。
That knowledge, then, leads to some outcomes that might be confusing at first glance.
了解這一點後，就能解釋一些乍看之下可能令人困惑的結果。
Last summer, Cincinnati shortstop Elly De La Cruz was charged,
understandably, with an error on this high throw in Arizona. But first
baseman Spencer Steer also eats some negative receiving value here, even if when you watch it, you think there was no way he could have come down with this. The reason why? We’re comparing first basemen not to themselves, but to all others, and at 5’9”, Steer had to leap for a ball that a taller
first baseman might have caught easily.
去年夏天，辛辛那提紅人游擊手 Elly De La Cruz 在亞利桑那響尾蛇主場的這次偏高傳球被記了一次失誤，這是可以理解的。但一壘手 Spencer Steer 在這次接球上也承擔了一些負面的接球價值，即使當你看比賽影片時，會覺得他根本不可能抓下這一球。原因何在？我們不是將一壘手與他們自己相比，而是與所有其他一壘手相比，身高 5 呎 9 吋的Spencer Steer 必須跳起來接這一球，但身材更高大的一壘手本來可能輕鬆接住。
https://www.mlb.com/video/perdomo-reaches-on-a…
Height, in other words, is a skill here – one you have or you don’t.
換句話說，在這裡身高也是一種天賦/技能──你要麼擁有，要麼沒有。
Which infielders have been helped or hurt by first base receiving?哪些內野手受到了受惠或受害於一壘手的接球表現？
While this isn’t a grading tool to evaluate throwing accuracy, you can, at least, see which fielders have been saved by good first basemen – or the opposite.
雖然這不是用來評估傳球準確度的評分工具，但你至少可以看到哪些野手被優秀的一壘手拯救過──或者反之亦然。
Over the six years of this metric, no infielder has been helped more by
excellent first base receiving than Ozzie Albies (whose 1Bs earned +9 outs on his throws) which makes a great deal of sense; Albies has been throwing to Freeman and then Olson his entire career.
在這項數據指標統計的六年裡，沒有哪位內野手比 Ozzie Albies 從出色的一壘接球中獲益更多（一壘手們（1Bs / First Basemen）在他的傳球基礎上多拿到了 +9 次出局數），這非常符合常理；Ozzie Albies 整個職業生涯都在傳球給 Freddie Freeman，隨後是Matt Olson。
On the other end, no infielder has been hurt more than De La Cruz, at -12 Receiving OAA, which also makes sense, as Cincinnati first basemen (mostly Steer, Sal Stewart, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand) have been tied for baseball’s weakest over De La Cruz’s four-season career.
在另一端，沒有哪位內野手受害比 Elly De La Cruz 更深，接球出局數超越預期值（Receiving OAA）為 -12，這同樣合情合理，因為在 Elly De La Cruz 的四個賽季職業生涯中，辛辛那提紅人的一壘手群（主要是 Spencer Steer、Sal Stewart 和 Christian Encarnacion-Strand）並列全大聯盟最弱。
How much does this matter?
這有多重要？
That’s the tricky part. As we said: 80% or so of throws a first baseman gets are the receiving equivalent of the can of corn. It's nearly impossible to separate yourself from others on those. That just doesn’t leave a lot of room for value, though that’s certainly not the same thing as not having value. This does have value.
這正是棘手之處。正如我們所說：一壘手接到的傳球中，大約有 80% 在接球難度上相當於輕鬆接取的沖天炮高飛球（can of corn）。你幾乎不可能在這些球上拉開與其他人的差距。這使得該項技術沒有太多的價值累積空間，儘管這並不意味著它沒有價值。這確實是有價值的。
But how much? Statcast assigns everything a run value, in order to put
disperate things such as catcher framing, blocking, outfield throwing arms, and first base receiving on the same scale. One OAA in this skill is given the same value as one OAA for a fielder collecting batted balls, so it’s worth 0.75 of a run.
但價值究竟有多少？Statcast 為每項動作賦予一個得分價值（run value），以便將捕手偷好球（catcher framing）、擋球（blocking）、外野臂力（outfield throwing arms）以及一壘接球等截然不同的項目放在同一尺度上進行比較。在這項技能中獲得的 1 個OAA，其價值與野手處理擊出球獲得的 1 個 OAA 相同，因此相當於 0.75 分（0.75 of a run）。
For someone like Burleson, that matters a lot. Take the minus-2 Fielding Runs he’s at for collecting batted balls, add the +5 Fielding Runs he’s going to add here for receiving, include some previously accounted for value for
getting double plays turned, and it definitely changes the perception of how you view him defensively. He goes from below-average (-2 Fielding Run) to above (+3).
對於像 Alec Burleson 這樣的球員來說，這非常重要。拿他在處理擊出球時獲得的 -2防守得分（Fielding Runs），加上他在此處因接傳球而增加的 +5 防守得分（Fielding Runs），再算上先前計算的完成雙殺的價值，這絕對會改變你對他防守表現的看法。他從低於平均水準（-2 防守得分）躍升至高於平均水準（+3 防守得分）。
But in another sense, it’s just never going to match up to things that
happen so much more often. The most valuable receiving year we have over the last six seasons was Olson in 2021, who earned +7 runs just from receiving. That’s a lot of value for an infrequent thing – and yet it pales in
comparison to the value added by this year’s best hitters (Yordan Alvarez,+48 batting runs), pitchers (Jacob Misiorowski, +42), or defenders overall (Pete Crow-Armstrong, +24).
但從另一個角度來看，它永遠無法與那些發生得頻繁得多的事情相提並論。在過去六個賽季中，接球價值最高的一年是 2021 年的 Matt Olson，他僅憑接傳球就貢獻了 +7 分。對於一件不常發生的事情來說，這是一筆巨大的價值──但與今年最優秀的打者（
Yordan Alvarez，+48 打擊得分）、投手（Jacob Misiorowski，+42 得分）或整體防守者（Pete Crow-Armstrong，+24 得分）所創造的價值相比，就顯得相形見絀了。
Which, we think, is exactly what was expected at the start. It matters a little. Little things add up to a lot. It’s just hard to stand out without the chances to do so. Now, at least, we’ll know a little more about who
excels at this generally underappreciated skill.
我們認為，這正是最初所預期的結果。它確實有一點影響。小事累積起來就是大事。只是在缺乏機會的情況下很難脫穎而出。現在，至少我們對誰在這項通常被忽視的技能上表現出色有了更多的了解。
It’s not a huge thing. It’s not nothing, either. All the little things in baseball add up to victory. This one does, too.
這不是一件天大的大事，但也絕非無足輕重。棒球中的所有細節累積起來就能換來勝利。這項技能也是如此。
