[情報] BA's FSL Top 20 Prospects

[Zamned (扎姆德)]

4. Kyle Schwarber

Age: 21. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 235. Drafted: Indiana, 2014 (1).

The No. 4 overall pick, Schwarber had the best debut of any 2014 draft pick,
swatting 18 home runs over three levels. He did it while spending the most time
in the pitcher-friendly FSL while learning a new position (left field) and
still mixing in catching.

Schwarber combines terrific present strength with plus bat speed and an
efficient swing. He has the plate discipline to dominate lower levels. As one
league hitting coach put it, “When he impacts (the ball), it comes off
different.”

League observers were mixed on Schwarber’s defense. Some thought he had a
chance to catch, and the Cubs sent him to instructional league to work on
catching exclusively. Others thought left field was his only option, but he
runs well enough to make the outfield work.

11. Albert Almora
Age: 20. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 180. Drafted: HS—Hialeah Gardens, Fla., 2012
(1).

Almora overcame a slow start by hitting .377 with four of his seven home runs
in the first three weeks of July, earning a promotion to Double-A Tennessee.
His raw tools sometimes pale in comparison to some of his Cubs peers, but FSL
managers still liked him as a center fielder who profiles as a future everyday
player, though not a star.

Almora is a rhythm hitter with a significant leg kick who tends to be streaky.
“You get your timing by being ready to hit the fastball,” Daytona manager
Dave Keller said. “We talk every day about hitting the fastball, and it was
hard for him because pitchers were pitching him backwards, but he still had to
be ready to hit the fastball.”

Almora started identifying offspeed pitches, which he saw in bunches, better as
the year went on. The ability to make those adjustments, along with his bat
speed, hand-eye coordination and strength, allow scouts to project him as an
above-average hitter with average power. He has plenty of arm strength and
tremendous defensive instincts that make him a plus center fielder as well. One
scout said Almora’s upside resembles that of Aaron Rowand.


18. Billy McKinney
Age: 20. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 195. Drafted: HS—Plano, Texas, 2013 (1).

The Cubs acquired McKinney, as well as high-profile shortstop prospect Addison
Russell, from the Athletics in early July as part of the blockbuster Jeff
Samardzija trade. While a shoulder injury limited McKinney to DH duty for much
of August, he showed enough offensive ability in his FSL stint to make the top
20.

McKinney is a pure hitter who in his first full pro season showed the ability
to slow the game down and have quality at-bats in all situations. He doesn’t
fit a clean profile, because he’s not a burner or true center fielder, and his
modest arm strength makes him a better fit in left field than right. He has
bat-to-ball skills and a mature plate approach, and he could be a plus hitter
who draws walks enough to hit leadoff, though his speed is just average.

Learning to loft the ball as he gains more experience will be the difference in
whether McKinney is an impact corner bat or a player more along the lines of
David Murphy.
