Eli Willits 为国民队完成春训首秀

18岁游击手Eli Willits,2025年MLB选秀状元,在华盛顿国民队的职业大联盟春训中迎来首秀。他在第六局替补上场,对阵休斯顿太空人队的葡萄柚联盟开幕战。国民队在棕榈滩仙人掌公园以2-1获胜。

在春训首场比赛中,华盛顿国民队从小联盟营地召来Eli Willits,参加周六下午在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的棕榈滩仙人掌公园对阵休斯顿太空人队的葡萄柚联盟开幕战。这位18岁游击手被MLB Pipeline评为国民队头号新秀、全MLB第13顺位,他在分拆小队的本方主场第六局替换先发游击手CJ Abrams,出战国民队2-1获胜。华盛顿另一队在罗杰·迪恩雪佛兰体育场以6-2击败圣路易红雀队。nnWillits对这次召集感到惊讶,但对机会表示兴奋。“对这么年轻的孩子来说,这是绝佳机会,”Willits说。他强调棒球中准备的重要性:“我必须始终保持准备状态。那就是棒球——你永远不知道会在哪里、何时上场。”nn在他唯一的打席中,Willits面对右投Sam Carlson,这位27岁投手上赛季为道奇队三A俄克拉荷马城队效力。Willits打满满球,看到五记卡特球和一记沉球:第一球区内球击出界外,球一,挥空好球二,放过两球区外球,然后击出中外野飞球。nn国民队经理Blake Butera赞扬了Willits的沉着。“春训早期,尤其在大联盟比赛中,他看起来看球很好,这是好事,”Butera说。“一年前他还在上高中,现在就在我们首场大联盟主场比赛了。他在打击区完全掌控,没有任何球速让他慌乱,这很好。”nnWillits在2025选秀后为单A弗雷德里克斯堡出战15场,50个打数打出.300/.397/.360,OPS .757。他将挥棒判断的进步归功于国民队工作人员:“笼子里的教练们在挥棒决定上帮了大忙。感谢他们,这真的帮了我。我是个很有耐心的击球手,我想让投手来找我。在优势局数,你就能造成伤害。”nn预计2028年才会上大联盟,但Willits从1月起就随队进行早期训练。从坦帕湾光芒组织聘来的Butera谈及他的潜力:“我在这里快8周了,Eli也几乎全程都在。他是个好孩子,兴奋于上场,我知道他的上限是无限的。”Willits以17岁216天从俄克拉荷马州Fort Cobb-Broxton高中被选,史上第三年轻状元,自1987年肯·格里菲二世以来最年轻。Butera补充:“我只知道去年光芒要是第一顺位就好了,我太想要他了。现在我们有了他,一切都好。”
