Chien - ming wang actually throws a 102mph fastball , but after he killed a moose who strayed onto the practice field while he was firing away in 2004 he vowed to never throw that hard again 王建民的速球其实高达102英哩，但是自从2004年王建民因为练习时投出的速球杀死一头在洋基练习场迷路的麋鹿之后，他就郑重发誓再也不投这麽快的速球了。
America ' s pastime : nine weeks of pitched fastballs and sore elbows , grounders up the middle , digging it out to first base , shagging flies in the outfield and swatting mosquitoes in the infield 这是一种美国的消闲方式：九周的快速投球，胳膊肘酸疼；打出一直滚到场中间的地滚球；从地上捡起球再扔给第一垒；在边场抓住飞球；在内场拍打蚊子。
Wang was just supposed to be randy johnson ' s little mascot at first , except that the rookie had this remarkable sinker and a four - seam fastball that rode in on hitters and traveled 95 mph 小王原本只被认为是巨怪强生身边附带的小吉祥物，但除此之外，这位二年前刚来到的小菜鸟有个令人惊? 95英哩的下沉球及四缝线快速球，将会让打者无所适从。
A good sinker - - which essentially is a fastball thrown with a roll of the wrist to create downward movement - - drops sharply as it approaches the plate and typically results in the batter - hitting a ground ball 一个好伸卡球，这实质上是建立在快速直球利用手腕动作产生向下的偏移，当它接近本垒板时突然下沉典型结果通常导致打击者会击出滚地球。
It was perplexing that night that wang seemed to have less trouble controlling the slider and change of pace he has been mixing into his arsenal this year than he did with his bread - and - butter , the low to mid - nineties fastball 那场比赛令人费解的是，比起他过去仅运用90哩下沉速球的招牌球路，小民今年在投球内容加入更多控球良好的滑球及变化球后，似乎反而较少陷入麻烦。
