(底下簡短翻譯)

If the Yankees are good at developing one type of prospect it is relief
pitchers. There have been several recent success stories, and there are a few
good relief prospects on the brink of a promotion to the major leagues. One
guy who is closer than you might think is Mark Montgomery. He has only made
nine appearances in Double-A so far this season, but he has mowed down
batters ever since being drafted. Montgomery has already drawn comparisons to
David Robertson, not so much because of his stuff but more because of his
utter dominance of the minor leagues thus far in his career. Like Robertson,
he also gets great extension on all of his pitches.

洋基在 RP 養成上很有一套, 現在 Montgomery 又是一個例子
因為他在小聯盟持續屠殺，常常被拿來和 David Robertson 相比

Montgomery was drafted in the 11th round of the 2011 draft, last year. Since
being drafted he has already moved across four levels in two years, and trust
me he has earned every promotion along the way. Last season he struck out a
whopping 51 batters in just 28.1 innings pitched. Thats good for a 16.1 K/9
rate. It’s not just strikeouts either, as his ERA was just 1.91 for the
season. He did walk 13 batters, but his K:BB ratio was about 4:1, so I think
I can forgive him. He gave up 20 hits and recorded 15 saves.

2011 選秀 11 輪選上, 兩年內已經跨了四個層級 ( A-, A, A+, AA)
在每一個層級都很優秀, 去年累計 16.1 K/9, ERA 1.91, K:BB 4:1

This year, if you can believe it, Montgomery has actually improved his
performance. He’s gone 54.1 innings and struck out 83 batters. His K/9 is a
measley 13.8, a ridiculous sum. Better yet, he’s cut his walk rate from
4.16/9 innings to 3.1/9 and his ERA for the season is just 1.66. His K:BB
rate this season is 4.4:1.  He was named to the High-A FSL midseason
all-stars for his strong work.

今年各項數據 (ERA, BB, K:BB) 都還在進化
也獲得 A+ FSL 的明星球員

Usually we start the scouting report with the fastball. In Montgomery’s
case, his best pitch is far and away his slider so we’ll begin with that. So
far in his career, no on can touch it. Scouts feel that this will continue on
into his major league career, because the slider is that good. He sits at
around 85 mph with this pitch and he commands it well. He throws it different
ways as well. He is actually able to control the break. If he wants to get
someone to swing at a pitch outside the zone, he increases the break.

滑球最厲害, 幾乎沒人摸的到
而且他有多種投法, 可以控制球的變化

It’s funny to talk about a fastball in the secondary pitches, but that’s
Montgomery for you. The fastball is a perfect complement to the slider. He
throws a four-seamer at 93-95 mph with some good late movement on it. His
command with the fastball isn’t as good as the slider, but he’s gotten
better in just one season. He also throws a two-seamer but his control is
spotty with it. He’s developing a changeup as well, but doesn’t use it in
games yet.

直球反而是他的第二武器, 四縫線約 93-95mph, 控球沒滑球好, 但有進步,
二縫線會丟, 不過時好時壞, 變速球練習中, 還沒在實戰用過

The ceiling and floor are actually pretty easy. His ceiling is a major league
caliber closer. The floor is a Mark Melancon-esque flame out. He will at the
very least play in the major leagues though, and that alone is a big deal for
any 11th round selection.

天花板是終結者, 低點是 Mark Melancon
11 輪選到這種投手賺翻了

His estimated time of arrival with the Yankees would be next season. Some are
calling for a promotion in September, but I think that would be a bit hasty.
In fact it may not be until next September that he gets his chance. If he
pitches as well in Triple-A next season as he has this season all bets are
off though. Depending on Mariano’s leg, Soriano’s contract, and Joba’s
health, he could be an integral piece of the bullpen.

預估明年就可以上大聯盟

Mark Montgomery has been a fantastic late round find for the Yankees. He has
soared above and beyond all possible expectations, and he’s looking ready
for the next level. Yankees fans can look forward to seeing him as soon as
next season, and hopefully that slider will be making knees buckle and backs
break all across the AL East in the near future.
