標題[農場] What Did You Think of Ivan Nova?
時間Sat May 15 11:41:45 2010
Ivan Nova has always been an interesting prospect to me. He’s usually
received glowing reports from scouts, but his numbers generally haven’t
been there in the minors and his peripherals, like walk rate and strikeout
rate, haven’t really been there either.
In his defense, like I said, he does get good scouting reports, he’s a
big guy at 6′4〃, he throws hard in the mid-90’s, and has been on the
younger side at each level he has pitched.
The reason for his good scouting reports is the velocity of his fastball
and the action on his breaking pitches. The reason for his relatively poor
numbers is probably a lack of command. Like yesterday, he didn’t walk any
batters (he had 59 walks in 139.1 innings last season), but he wasn’t
exactly spotting his pitches on the corners either. He was kind of all over
the strike zone.
He was generally sitting at 93-94 with his fastball, getting up to 95 mph
a couple of times. His curveball was impressive and his changeup maybe even
more impressive. I think right there is reason enough to think this kid at
least has the potential to pitch in a major league bullepen, but I’d like
him to lower his walk rate and improve his strikeout totals. With breaking
stuff like that it doesn’t seem like that’s an impossible task either.
At the end of the game I am really left wanting more, which is a good thing.
So far I’ve only really seen him pitch twice, yesterday and once on the
final day of spring training, but so far I think he’s a promising work
in progress – certainly not DFA material.
