21 appearances in middle relief.
我們從Vanderbilt搜括來的最新農產品. 大學生涯三年都在牛棚.
有ERA1.56的好成績, 但總共只出賽21場?!
Scouting Report
Body:
Long; lean; athletic; has added muscle since high school viewings; good shoulder
width; tapers to waist; excellent pitcher's frame; likely won't change body
much going forward.
完美的投手身材. 上大學後練了不少肌肉, 應該不會再增壯多少
Delivery/Mechanics:
More compact and consistent than in high school; stays over his back foot
longer during delivery; drives hard to the plate without losing angle; low-3/4 arm
slot; arm keeps up with the body well; repeats delivery pretty well despite
inexperience; athleticism is evident in how he delivers the ball and after
finish; consistently extends through release.
高中時期的投球動作比較簡潔,固定 (video裡面看得很明顯)
低4分之 3的出手. 運動力十足讓Ravenelle可以複製投球動作跟出手.
就算以大學投手來說, 他還是相對 - 關鍵字(inexperience)
Fastball:
Sits comfortably at 92-94 mph; consistently reaches 95 and will touch 97 when
he needs extra; ball comes out of his hand with ease and has a little deception
as a result; good life on FB; has a little hop at the plate; velo plays down a
tick over longer outings, sitting more 91-93 and touching 95; won'tadd
considerable strength so velo likely to play at current level; will play to
93-94 and reach higher in short bursts; quality pitch.
Grade - Present 5+/Future 6
看數字就滿讓人舒服的. 輕輕鬆鬆達到92 - 94 mph, 95 mph不是問題, 最快可以飆到97
且毫不費力.
先發時球速多在91-93, 極速95. 鑒於沒太多空間可以長肌肉.
球速就大概就是這樣. 仍然高於平均
Slider:
Work in progress but making strides; doesn't always generate tight spin; pitch
can get flat and sit in the middle of the zone when he doesn't stay on top of
it; at its best, SL offers good two-plane movement that is short and sharp;
shows plus potential and will likely be second quality offering in time.
Grade - 4+/6
持續進步中, 還不夠穩定. 會是顆值得信賴的球種
Changeup:
Very raw; lacks feel for pitch; balls comes out of the hand in inconsistent
fashion; needs a lot of work; doesn't trust the grip; frequently over-throws
and then comes back to compensate by slowing arm; rarely threw in college
because of relief role; will need to develop as a professional if he is to
move to the rotation; unable to grade at present due to lack of consistent use.
Grade - NA/NA
幾乎不存在的球種….如果想當先發就得從頭好好練
Control/Command:
Improving; throws strikes with consistency; shows aptitude for moving FB to
both sides of the plate; can run it arm side and doesn't have any trouble
pulling the pitch to the glove side; shows some ability to elevate when
necessary; good control profile, particularly with overhauled and more
consistent mechanics; control of SL is improving; command projection near
average.
快速球控制能力不錯, 能自在的在好球帶兩側移動.
滑球則有機會到標準值
Other:
Intelligent; works hard; remains confident and calm on the mound; quality
makeup.
有腦袋(都讀名校了), 工作認真, 站在投手丘上有自信又沉穩.
Final Word
Summary:
FB and SL can both develop and play to plus level in time; has delivery,
strike throwing ability, and two present quality pitches that should allow a
try in the rotation; CH will need to make significant strides to make it as a
starter; SL may not miss bats consistently but will induce weak contact; smart
kid; absorbs information/feedback rapidly.
快速球/滑球都是pus pitch. 變速球得花很大精力, 如果真想當先發養的話
Risk:
Extreme risk; extremely inexperienced given college resume; needs considerable
development regardless of future role.
極高風險, 以大學投手來說極度缺乏經驗. 需要好一段時間來磨
Projection:
As a starter, could develop into #3/#4 starter; will take time to develop as a
starter because of rudimentary CH and need to build stamina/strength for grind
of starting rotation; needs starter innings to further develop, even if future
role is in bullpen; as reliever, has setup ceiling and could move quickly.
當先發可能3/4號. (端看變速球養成)
當牛則有佈局投手的資質, 並快速往上爬
老虎很愛Vanderbilt的選手已經不是新聞
尤其Ravenelle又是身材高大的火球投手
球團已經確定會當先發養
這樣要上大聯盟應該是三年後 敬請耐心等待
