Austin Romine, C, NYY
Background: Romine was a second-round draft pick out of a California high
school in 2007. He hit .300/.344/.437 with 10 home runs, 27 walks, and 56
strikeouts in 432 plate appearances in the Sally League last year.
What I saw: Romine seemed a bit taller and lankier than I had imagined. He's
an above-average athlete by the standard of catchers.
His defense was a mixed picture. Watching him throw to second during warmups
and the only stolen base attempt during the game (in which the runner was
successful), I gauged his arm as a bit sub par. Then I saw him uncork a throw
to second attempting to cut down a runner advancing on a throw to home, and
he unleashed an absolute cannon. That tells me he's either a long-arm guy (as
in, loses more velocity than average in a typical catcher's throwing motion),
or he's having trouble establishing his base (footwork). The footwork didn't
strike me as awful, however. The scout next to me timed his 'pop' at 2.1 on
the stolen base attempt, which struck me as quite a bit generous in Romine's
favor.
Offensively, Romine has an upright, leaned-back stance that crouches a bit as
the pitch is being delivered. The swing is short for a guy with his long
arms, and well-leveraged, which bodes well for power. I had only taken a
cursory glance at his numbers before the game, so I was surprised that he's
drawn so few walks this year. He struck me as incredibly well-composed at the
plate; he was off-balance very little, despite a steady diet of off-speed
pitches. And he was as still as a statue for anything that turned out to be a
few inches out of the zone. There's a theory that pitch recognition is a tool
that doesn't immediately lead to strike zone control, but that it's a strong
precursor. If that's the case, I like Romine in this respect.
Outlook: Romine is just 20 and already well polished. The defensive flaws
aren't crippling as is, and he has plenty of time to shore them up. The bat
is exciting now, and the offensive package is well-rounded.
The one comparison I could not get away from all day was Javy Lopez. His body
type, his stance, his mannerisms, and his offensive profile (and even the
defensive shortcomings) are all incredibly similar. He may wind up a bit more
batting average an less home run oriented than Javy, but that's what I
envision as an 'if-everything-goes-well' comp.
William 'D.J.' MItchell, RHSP, NYY
Background: Drafted out of the 10th round from Clemson in '08, Mitchell is a
rising star in the Yankees organization. Recently promoted to Tampa, he
started '09 with a sub-2.00 ERA and 42:6 K:BB ratio in six starts (37 IP) in
the Sally League.
What I saw: Williams has an athletic body, with some moderate projection
left. From 30 yards away, he could be mistaken for Mariano Rivera.
His fastball sat 87-89, hitting as high as 91 several times. It has good
sink, and gets a lot of groundballs. Thus, the 'stealth weapon' (home run
prevention) figures to be an asset. His slider was 78 and nothing special,
though he controlled it well. The few changeups he threw also came in at 78,
and that's a pitch with some potential for him. That's a nice velocity
disparity, and he didn't telegraph it much. It has decent 3B run. He even
mixed in a couple cutters to left-handed batters, which came in around 85 and
were effective. Smooth, controlled delivery. Command and control were on this
day, although control has apparently been an issue at times.
Outlook: Mitchell is solid across the board. He'll never dominate, but for a
guy who converted to pitching just a couple years ago (in the middle of his
college career), he's got an impressive feel for his craft. The sinking
fastball and potentially plus changeup will play in the majors. His ceiling
is only that of a third starter, but it's not so hard to envision him fitting
in to the back of a major league rotation in mid-2011.
