「2000万ドル捨てるのは愚か」今井達也のアストロズ残留決断を巡り賛否！【海外の反応】

ERA+ 84の投手が大金を稼ぎたがるのは当然だろ。当たり前の話。

※ERA+：球場差を補正した防御率。平均が100

84 ERA+ pitcher still wants to make good money. Water is wet

驚かないな。技術というよりメンタルや調整面の問題に見えたし、オプトアウトは全員にとってマイナスだったと思う。

I’m not surprised, his issues felt more mental health and training oriented than skill and I think opting out would be bad for everyone involved

オプトアウトしても精々ツーウェイ契約だろ。
球威はエグかったよ、特にあの逆スライダー。でも直球でストライクが取れないなら話にならないし、実際取れないことを証明しちゃったからな。NPBみたいに高めのストレートを振ってくれないのに投げ続けてたし。

If he opted out, he gets a 2-way contract at best.
His stuff was filthy, especially that wrong way slider. But it's useless if he can't hit the strikezone with his fastball, and he just proved he can't. Guys don't swing at high fastballs as often here like how they do in NPB, yet he still kept throwing it.

Stuff+は86でボロボロだったろ。しかも昨季は実質2球種の投手になっちまってた。大きく変えない限り技術的なワクワク感はないな。奪三振率と4.26というそこそこのSIERAの方が驚きだったよ。
来季は打者もあの独特なスライダーの球種と割合に慣れてくると思う。

※SIERA：打球傾向も考慮した投球の総合指標、Stuff+：球種の球威を評価した指標。平均が100

His stuff+ was a terrible 86. And he ended up being a 2 pitch pitcher last season. Not looking exciting skill wise unless he makes some major changes. His K% and decent 4.26 SIERA were surprising more than anything imo.
I think that hitters will be more used to his funky slider, and how much he throws it, next season.

1年目は良くなかったが、アメリカへの順応がいかに大変か本人が語っていたからな。調整して来季強く巻き返してくれることを願うよ。（ああ、ちゃんとシーズンはあるからな、ク○悲観主義者ども。）

Not good his first year, but he was vocal about how difficult the transition to America was. Hopefully he can adjust some things and come back strong next season. (Yes, there will be a season you fucking pessimists.)

約2000万ドルを捨てるなんて愚かだろ。NPBに戻ったところでそんな金額は到底稼げないんだから。

Yeah he'd be stupid to give up almost $20M. He won't make anywhere near that amount if he went back to NPB.

掲示板民の野球の見方：
ダメな投手：この⚪︎ミをDFA（枠開け）しろ
ダメな投手（ただし日本人）：うわぁ将来性抜群だな、ただ時間が必要なだけだ

※DFA：選手をメジャー40人枠から外し、他球団への譲渡やマイナー降格等の手続きを行う措置

How reddit sees baseball:
Awful Pitcher: DFA this bum
Awful Pitcher But Japanese: wow he got so much promise, he just needs more time

一体何があったんだよ。それにいつの間に30歳になってたんだ、2022年にブレイクしたのが昨日のことのように思えるのに、おいおい。

Man, what the hell happened to the guy, also didn't realize the guy was 30 feels like yesterday when he was breaking out in 2022, jeez.

苦戦した原因の大部分は才能じゃなく文化や環境への適応にあるのは明白だよ。

Clear that a big chunk of his struggles were culture/adjustment related, not talent

驚かないね。ポテンシャルはあると思うし、新しい国とリーグに来て考えすぎてるだけ。
とはいえ、来年のロックアウトで狂わされないか心配だな...まあ様子見か。

Not surprised. I think the dude has it in him, he's just in his own head, coming to a new country and a new league.
That said I wonder if the lockout next year could throw him off....we'll see I guess.

空振り率も奪三振率もすごく良い。単に制球力が足りないだけだ。
いくらでも修正できそうに見えるけどな。

He has very good whiff and strikeout rate. He just has poor control/command.
He seems very fixable to me.

そうだな、日本から来るNPBの選手にとっては激変だろう。順応を簡単そうに見せる選手は称賛されるべきだ。

Yeah it has to be a massive change for these NPB guys that come from Japan. You have to applaud anyone that makes the transition look easy.

ポスティングシステム全体の欠陥だと思う。世界中のほとんどの国は育成のもっと早い段階でMLBルートがあるのに、MLBは日本に対して大きな例外を設けている。日本人選手のためにもならないし、MLBの競合バランスも崩している（日本のトップ選手がドラフトや国際契約プールの枠外になるため）。このシステムで得をするのはNPBの球団だけ。MLBはドミニカやメキシコのプロリーグに補助金なんて出さないのに、なぜ日本だけこんな別枠システムが存在するんだ？

I think it's a problem with the posting system overall. Pretty much every other country in the world has an avenue to the MLB pipeline much earlier in the player's developmental years, but the MLB makes massive exceptions for Japan. It doesn't help the Japanese players and it hurts competitive balance in the MLB (because Japan's best players are exempt from the draft or international signing pool, which are designed with competitive balance in mind). The only party that benefits from this system are the NPB franchises. MLB doesn't give a crap about subsidizing pro leagues in the DR or Mexico - why do we have this completely different system for Japan?

正直、アメリカでのプレイが合わないと悟ってオプトアウトする可能性は十分あると思ってたし、もしそうなってもリスペクトできたけどね。

Honestly I thought it would be a very real option that he would opt out because he realized he did not enjoy playing in America and I would have totally respected that
