薩克里·哈里森·惠勒(英語:Zachary Harrison Wheeler,1998年2月1日),為美國職棒大聯盟的投手,目前效力於費城費城人。他先前曾效力過紐約大都會。

職業生涯

舊金山巨人

2009年美國職棒大聯盟選秀,巨人在首輪第6順位選進惠勒。[1]原本他一度考慮繼續攻讀大學,[2]不過最終他選擇與球隊簽約。[3]

2010年,惠勒進入1A,開啟職棒生涯。他在中途因為指甲斷裂導致缺席一些比賽,後面更是一度轉任牛棚。[4]該年他入選未來之星明星賽,[5]拿下3勝3敗,防禦率3.99。[6]

2011年,惠勒升上高階1A。該年他拿下7勝5敗,防禦率3.99,並成功入選小聯盟的明星賽。[7]

紐約大都會

2011年7月28日,巨人將惠勒交易到大都會,換來卡洛斯·貝爾川和現金。[7]2012年,他成功升上2A,[8]並在8月升上3A。[9]

2013年的惠勒

2013年6月18日,惠勒升上大聯盟。他先發6局無失分成功拿下勝投。[10]8月15日,惠勒寫下單場12次三振的個人紀錄。[11]9月21日,惠勒在先發過後感到肩膀不適,因此球隊宣布將他停機到賽季結束。[12]整季他拿下7勝5敗,防禦率3.42。[13]

2014年,球隊王牌麥特·哈維因為動了湯米約翰手術而整季報銷。惠勒也被紐約媒體視為大都會未來的王牌投手。[14]不過他在球季前兩個月表現起伏不定,控球不穩造成他保送多,面對左打能力也不出色。[15]6月19日他面對馬林魚投出3安打完封勝。[16]儘管大都會這年戰績低迷,不過惠勒的整體表現仍是球隊的亮點。[17]該年他拿下11勝11敗,防禦率3.54。[13]

2015年3月16日,惠勒因為尺骨附屬韌帶受傷,動了湯米約翰手術而整季報銷。[18]他在3月25日開始動手術。[19]不過好消息是麥特·哈維傷癒回歸,球隊最終還一路闖進世界大賽。2016年4月,動完第一次手術的惠勒又進行第二次手術,因此球隊將他復出日延到明星賽後。[20]6月底,他在小聯盟進行復健賽再度感到肩膀不適。[21]之後他因為屈肌腱發炎導致整個賽季再度報銷。[22][23]

2017年的惠勒

2017年1月11日,他和大都會簽下1年80萬美元的合約。[24]4月8日,惠勒睽違兩年成功站上大聯盟投手丘,主投4局失5分。[25]他在6月面對小熊曾僅投1.2局狂失8分,寫下個人最慘先發表現。後來他被道奇隊新秀科迪·貝林傑敲出雙響砲,讓他成為大聯盟史上前51場比賽敲出最多轟的球員。[26][27]

6月22日,他因為二頭肌出現肌腱炎再度進傷兵名單。許多媒體對於他是否能夠再成功回到球場投球已經打上不少問號。[28]最後他在8月24日宣布整季報銷,[29]該年拿下3勝7敗,防禦率5.21。[30]

2018年,雖然惠勒健康回到球場,但是大都會為求保險,簽下2017年的美聯勝投王Jason Vargas,並將惠勒移往牛棚。[31]而惠勒在春訓表現不佳,所以開季從3A出發。[32]不過Vargas在季中受傷,而惠勒也把握機會再先發繳出好表現。[33]他在下半季的防禦率僅1.32,為大聯盟第二低。[34]儘管惠勒表現不錯,但球隊為了長遠目標和他的健康,在9月19日還是提前結束了他的球季。該年他拿下12勝7敗,防禦率3.31。[35]

2019年,惠勒在球季結束後就會成為自由球員,所以大都會試圖在季中將他交易,不過他在自由市場上卻乏人問津。[36]他在上半季的防禦率為4.69,不過他在下半季最後5場先發合計僅失1分。[37]該年他拿下11勝8敗,防禦率3.96。[13]

費城費城人

2019年11月9日,惠勒和費城人簽下5年1億1800萬美元的合約。[38]他在兒子出生後一週完成費城人的初登板,並成功拿下勝投。[39]2020年9月9日,惠勒因為穿褲子時弄斷指甲而進入傷兵名單。[40]後來他甚至在10月12日進行手術。[41]2020年球季他拿下4勝2敗,防禦率2.92。[13]而他也成為費城人隊史首位前10場先發都掉不到3分的投手。

2021年4月3日,惠勒主投7局送出10次三振,同時還擊出兩支安打。[42]5月29日,他單場投出14次三振,成功寫下連三場先發至少投出10次三振的隊史紀錄,為隊史繼史提夫·卡爾頓柯特·席林後,第三位達成的投手。[43]他在上半季先發17場比賽,防禦率僅2.05,因此他順利入選明星賽。[44]賈寇伯·迪格隆因傷缺席明星賽先發後,許多球迷都希望惠勒能夠頂替其空缺。不過最後由麥斯·薛澤擔任明星賽先發,而惠勒則在9局上登板。[45]

個人生活

惠勒目前已婚,並育有一子。兒子威斯利於2020年7月20日出生。[46]此外,他和前勇士隊好手奇伯·瓊斯也是好友,兩人因為瓊斯的經紀人而認識。[47]
