Dickey's success with the knuckleball gives Wright renewed confidence
doing what he did last year, he solidified the fact that you can be very effective at it, and very consistent with it," Wright said.
The 38-year-old Dickey was 20-6 with New York last year before he was traded in the off-season to the Toronto Blue Jays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"With the knuckleball you just don't know," Wright said. "It could be great, it could be not great. proved that with the knuckleball, he can be just as effective as (Justin) Verlander, (Stephen) Strasburg,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the velocity that comes with those guys."
Tim Wakefield,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who spent 17 seasons as a knuckleballer for the Red Sox,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], agrees that Dickey has been invaluable to the cause.
In Fort Myers for three days helping Wright make "minor adjustments" to his pitch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wakefield stood on the mound with the 28-year-old during Wednesday's bullpen session, monitoring his delivery and giving pointers between each pitch as Red Sox manager John Farrell watched intently.
As someone who knows first hand the complexities of the knuckleball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wakefield was delighted to see Dickey's success last year.
"He validated the knuckleball and made it popular," the retired right-hander said. - it's a close-knit fraternity, so I was very proud."
Though the knuckleball brotherhood may be small,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wakefield believes its members have a responsibility to ensure their breed doesn't die out.
By helping Wright this week, Wakefield is doing his part,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just as he did for Dickey in 2008 when the then-struggling Seattle Mariner approached him for advice.
"I'm very open when it comes to helping other knuckleballers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Wakefield said. "It's always nice to be able to bounce ideas off somebody that is walking in the shoes that you walked in for so long."
Dickey is also doing his part.
Wright and Dickey speak on the phone and exchange text messages frequently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Just having a knuckleballer in the game while Wright is attempting to hone his craft has also done wonders for the up-and-comer. He went 10-7 with a 2.54 ERA in double-A and triple-A last season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's great for me because I'm still new to it," Wright said. "Not only can I talk to him (Dickey) but I can see him pitch. I watched every one of his games and could see why he had good outings and when he had a bad outing, I could see what the difference was and could use that for myself.
"Watching him and what he's been able to do with the knuckleball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it gives me that confidence. If he can do it, why can't I?"
On Monday, Wright was able to see Dickey pitch up close when the Red Sox visited Dunedin for a spring training game. Wright and Dickey faced off against each other in a rare all-knuckleball matchup. Wakefield was also in the house,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], watching from the stands.
While Dickey gave up two runs on four hits, Wright pitched two scoreless innings in the Red Sox 4-2 win.
"The fact that I was going up against him with Wakefield there, it was awesome," Wright said with a smile. "For a knuckleballer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was like Christmas. It was exciting for me."
After Monday's game, Dickey told reporters that division rival or not,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he hopes Wright does well this season.相关的主题文章:
