El hecho de que la temporada 2020 no haya empezado todavía no significa que los fanáticos del béisbol tengan que olvidarse de cómo se siente ver a los mejores jugadores del mundo.
Esta semana, MLB.com va a repasar algunos de los mejores lanzamientos en el béisbol de hoy, un pitcheo diferente cada día. Tras empezar con las mejores rectas y las curvas más venenosas, hoy toca el turno de los sliders más efectivos en las Grandes Ligas.
Un gran slider es, para describirlo en una sola palabra, “alucinante”.
Cómo hacen estos lanzadores para hacer que una pelota de béisbol se mueva así; es algo que jamás comprenderemos. Entonces, lo mejor que podemos hacer es sentarnos a disfrutar viéndolos trabajar.
A continuación, los cinco mejores sliders en Grandes Ligas.
Jacob deGrom, Mets
Por qué es tan bueno: velocidad promedio de 92.5 millas por hora
deGrom ganó su segundo Premio Cy Young seguido en la Liga Nacional en el 2019, apoyándose básicamente en tres pitcheos (recta de cuatro costuras, slider y cambio). No sería descabellado argumentar que cada uno de sus envíos es el mejor de su clase. Pero su slider bien podría ser el más difícil de batear, pues lo tira un poco más lento que la típica recta de cuatro costuras (92.5 mph vs. 93.4 mph, el promedio de MLB). Es el slider más rápido de las Mayores, y por bastante diferencia.
La temporada pasada, hubo 4.4 mph de diferencia entre la velocidad promedio de la recta y el slider de deGrom, haciéndoles mucho más difícil a los bateadores determinar qué venía. El derecho fue uno de apenas siete serpentineros en sellar al menos 100 ponches con su slider en el 2019, y los rivales sólo le batearon .186 ante dicho envío.
-- Thomas Harrigan
Adam Ottavino, Yankees
Por qué es tan bueno: 18.4 pulgadas de movimiento horizontal
El slider estilo “boomerang” de Ottavino es uno de esos pitcheos que quieres ver una y otra vez, y que te dejará haciéndote un montón de preguntas. ¿Cómo puede una pelota doblar así? ¿Está tirando una pelotita de fiesta, de esas súper livianas? ¿De verdad un bateador de Grandes Ligas puede fallar un pitcheo por tanto?
El slider del preparador de los Yankees se mueve un promedio de 18.4 pulgadas horizontales. Así como leen, se mueve un pie y medio de un lado a otro. Apenas tres lanzadores más logran que su gire tanto. El slider de Ottavino se mueve casi 10 pulgadas más que el promedio en las Grandes Ligas… o, por ponerlo de otra manera, más del doble que un slider promedio. Ottavino tira su slider la mitad de las veces – más de lo que lanza su recta – y no es una sorpresa que los rivales le hayan bateado .157 con 46 ponches ante dicho pitcheo la temporada pasada.
-- David Adler
Max Scherzer, Nacionals
Por qué es tan bueno: Tasa de swings fallados en la zona de strike de 37.6%
La mayoría de los serpentineros utiliza sus sliders para obligar a los bateadores a hacer swing a lanzamientos fuera de la zona de strike, y Scherzer logra eso con frecuencia. Pero cuando se trata de hacer ese mismo envío en la zona de strike e igual hacer quedar mál a los bateadores (en otras palabras, la tasa de swings fallados en la zona de strike), Scherzer fue el mejor de todos en el 2019. De hecho, ha sido el rey de ese departamento desde hace un buen tiempo. Y cuando preguntamos quién se pone más veces adelante en la cuenta con strikes cantados, strikes abanicando y fouls contra el slider, la respuesta en los últimos tres años ha sido Scherzer. Max puede tirarlo en el centro del plato o hacer que rebote contra el suelo, e igual no importa. No la vas a batear.
El slider es lo que ayudó a Scherzer a quitarle la corona a Clayton Kershaw como “mejor lanzador del momento” en el 2017. Y ahora que tiene una recta cortada para neutralizar a los zurdos, es más dominante todavía.
-- Matt Kelly
Justin Verlander, Astros
Por qué es tan bueno: Tasa de swings fuera de la zona de strike de 51%
El slider de Verlander fue clave para el derecho en el 2019, cuando ganó el Premio Cy Young de la Liga Americana, pues los resultados que obtuvo con dicho lanzamiento fueron fantásticos. Logró que los rivales dejaran una tasa de 51% de swings ante sliders fuera de la zona de strike, segundo en las Grandes Ligas entre los lanzadores que tiraron al menos 250 de dichos envíos más allá de la frontera de la zona de strike, y primero entre los abridores (el único mejor que Verlander fue Will Smith, con 54%).
Dada la frecuencia con la que los bateadores les tiraron a esos sliders en bola, no debe de ser sorpresa la cantidad de ponches que consiguió Verlander con dicho pitcheo. Sus 127 ponches con sliders sólo fueron superados por Patrick Corbin, cuyo slider fue su segundo lanzamiento más utilizado, a diferencia de Verlander.
Los rivales batearon sólo .119 de promedio en turnos que terminaron con el slider de Verlander el año pasado.
-- Sarah Langs
Chaz Roe, Rays
Por qué es tan bueno: +15.1 pulgas de movimiento horizontal sobre el promedio
Cuando muestra su mejor cara, el slider de Roe parece una ilusión óptica, un pitcheo de videojuego. Y los datos respaldan eso. Más de 350 lanzadores tiraron al menos 100 sliders en el 2019. El movimiento horizontal del de Roe, comparada con un slider promedio, fue de cuatro pulgadas más que su más cercano perseguidor.
Roe utiliza mucho más que nadie (64% de las veces en el 2019) su slider. Aunque no todos se mueven tanto de un lado a otro, el de Roe es consistentemente efectivo. Desde que el derecho llegó a los Rays en el 2017, los rivales batean solo 243 de wOBA contra su slider (el promedio de MLB ante ese mismo envío es de .270). Pero más que cualquier cosa, es divertido verlo lanzarlo.
