| 词条 | Two-way player |
| 释义 |
In sports that require a player to play on offense and defense, such as basketball and ice hockey, a two-way player refers to a player who excels at both. In sports where a player typically specializes on offense or defense, like American football, or on pitching or batting, like baseball, it refers to a player who chooses to do both. BasketballCommonly used in basketball, a two-way player is proficient at both the offensive side of the game and the defensive side of the game.[1] Some of the best two-way players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) have been awarded the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson and Kevin Garnett are the only Defensive Player of the Year winners to have also won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) during their careers; Jordan and Olajuwon won both awards in the same season. HockeyIn the National Hockey League (NHL), the term two-way forward is used for a forward who handles the defensive aspects of the game as well as the offensive aspects of the game. The best two-way forward is presented with the Frank J. Selke Trophy. The term two-way defenseman is used to describe a defenseman who also makes contributions on offense.[2] Baseball{{see also|Glossary_of_baseball_(T)#two-way_player}}In Major League Baseball (MLB), there are few true two-way players, as position players generally do not pitch, and most pitchers are poor batters. In the American League especially, the two-way player has mostly ceased to exist, as the designated hitter (DH) rule allows a team to have a designated batter bat in place of the pitcher. In the National League, pitchers still have to bat for themselves, but they are usually poor batters. In 2017, the average batting average for all of MLB was .255. The average batting average for pitchers was .124, significantly worse than the league average.[3] Babe Ruth is the last player to pitch 100 innings and have 200 plate appearances as a batter in the same season. Two-way players are still common in college baseball, with the John Olerud Award being given to the best two-way player of the season. However, by the major league level, a player is usually better at either pitching or batting, and rarely is given the chance to do both.[4] Outfielder Willie Smith pitched in 29 games during his career in the 1960s and 1970s. Brooks Kieschnick pitched and played as an outfielder in 2003 and 2004. Jason Lane, who had played as an outfielder, returned to the major leagues as a pitcher in 2014.[5]In 2017, the Tampa Bay Rays selected Brendan McKay, a two-way player, and began developing him as a pitcher and a first baseman.[5] Shohei Ohtani, a two-way player as a pitcher and outfielder, moved from Nippon Professional Baseball to MLB in 2018, became one of the few players to hit and pitch professionally. He has been used as a DH on days that he does not pitch.[6][7] Other major league teams have begun to try out some of their prospects as two way players, including Anthony Gose, Brett Eibner and Trey Ball.[5][8][9] American footballIn the National Football League (NFL), there are few two-way players, as most offensive players do not play on defense and vice versa. A major concern is the possibility of injury when a player is "overused." In the early years of the NFL, two-way players were more common, as part of the one-platoon system, but it is now a rarity.[10] Patrick Ricard is an example of a two-way player in the NFL, playing both as a fullback and a defensive lineman in 2017.[11]At the college level, some players do play on both sides of the ball, especially the more "electric" athletes.[12] While he was at UCLA, linebacker Myles Jack also played at running back, and he was awarded both the Pac-12 Conference Offensive and Defensive Freshman Player of the Year.[13] See also
