From Baseball America
Milone isn't overly physical at 6 feet and 185 pounds, but he showed some
standout tools at the East Coast Professional Showcase. A lefthanded hitter
and thrower, Milone showed above-average speed by posting one of the top
60-yard-dash times with a time of 6.68 seconds. Milone also showed intriguing
pull power in batting practice with a quick bat. His speed allows him to
cover a lot of ground in center field and he has an average arm. He plays for
the Connecticut Gamers and is committed to Connecticut.
Milone 6'0"，185磅的體型稱不上非常突出，但在 East Coast Professional
Showcase已經展現出一些出色的能力，左投左打，Milone具備水準以上的速度，60
碼衝刺只要6.68秒。透過快速的揮擊，他在拉打時展現的長打能力也吸引不少球探
目光。速度足以讓他在中外野找到一席之地，臂力也有平均水準。已經接受康乃迪
克大學的邀請。

Mike Trout was famously picked 25th overall in the 2009 draft, the 12th high
school player taken that year. Many who do not fully understand the draft
process and what goes into evaluating a 17-18 year old high school player
have wondered how such a prodigious talent as Trout could have lasted that
deep into what is turning out to be a good but not great draft class.
Mike Trout是2009年選秀會上最出名的選擇之一，他是那年第12順位被選中
的高中生。不熟悉選秀運作，甚至不知道如何去評價一位17、18歲的高中生的人
想知道的是，為什麼像 Trout這麼有天分的新秀，在一個稱不上眾星雲集的選秀
會上，會到這麼後面的順位才被選到。
While everyone was talking about Tate down in sunny Georgia as the class’s
five-tool player, the real five-tool future star was up in cold, wet New
Jersey that spring. Trout also spent a limited time on the showcase and
tournament circuit that summer.
當每個人都在討論Donavan Tate（2009, 1rd, 3pick）是那屆最棒的五工具
新秀時，真正具備五工具的潛力之星，直到春天都還在潮濕寒冷的New Jersey打
球，Trout 也在測試會上花了一些時間，在夏天打了一些錦標賽。
If that scenario is going to repeat itself this spring, the player who is the
potential Mike Trout, the player scouts and fans look back and say, “What
were we/they thinking when we didn’t pick this guy when we had a chance?,”
that player might be Connecticut high school outfielder Thomas Milone.
如果相同的景象放到今年春天，下一個會讓球迷和球探扼腕大呼：「為什麼
我們會錯過這傢伙。」的新秀就是Connecticut高中的Thomas Milone。

Background
A Connecticut kid from Monroe, Milone is a standout player both on the
baseball diamond and football field for Masuk High School. He’s not an elite
football prospect and is committed to play baseball at UConn. Milone made a
name for himself on the showcase circuit last summer and he is not related to
Athletics left-hander Tom Milone, in case you’re wondering.
背景
Milone在美式足球和棒球場上都有很出色的表現，他稱不上是頂尖的美式足球
員，也收到來自UConn 的棒球獎學金。Milone在去年夏天的巡迴測試會上大放異彩
，喔！對了！他跟Tom Milone沒有血緣關係。
Scouting Report
Listed at 6-foot-1 and 190 lbs., Milone is an excellent athlete with
better-than-average speed and quick wrists at the plate. He’s a left-handed
hitter (and thrower) who has shown pull power and improved balance this
spring, but he remains raw at the plate overall. The speed and athleticism
make him a safe bet to remain in center field long-term, where he is already
a capable defender. Unlike most prep players who want to reduce injury risk
and focus on baseball during their draft year, Milone did not quit football
this spring. All of the videos on YouTube are of him playing football, so we’
re out of luck there.
球探報告
6'1"，190磅的Milone 是個出色的運動員，具備水準之上的速度和快速的手腕
運用，左打的他在今年春天展現很棒的拉打力量，但在打擊區的表現還是有待磨練
。速度可以保證他能長期待在中外野，與想要減輕受傷風險，以求能以最健康的姿
態出現在選秀會的高中球員不同。Milone今年春天並沒有放棄在美式足球馳騁的機
會。他在 YouTube上的所有影片幾乎都是在打美式足球，能不能簽下他就要看運氣
了。
Miscellany
Neither Baseball America (subs. req’d) nor Keith Law (subs. req’d) ranked
Milone among the top 50 draft prospects in their most recent rankings, but
Baseball America (subs. req’d) considered him the 45th best high school
prospect in the class a few weeks ago. The high school season in Connecticut
didn’t start until about a week ago, so Milone hasn’t had much time to
showcase himself this spring. If he performs well in the coming weeks, he
could climb draft boards in a hurry.
碎碎念
BA和KL都沒有把Thiomas列入前50位待選新秀，但幾周前BA在最佳高中新秀裡
把他排進第45名。直到上個禮拜，Connecticut才開始高中棒球賽季，所以Milone
還沒有很多機會展現自己的能力，如果在接下來幾周能有出色表現，他會上升的
很快。

Thomas Milone could do amazing things with a football in his hand as a
running back and kick returner. But the Rays believe he can do even better
things with a bat. Desmond Jennings was selected by the Rays in the 2010
round of the 2006 MLB Draft after being a junior college wide receiver.
Milone is also a football player, but even with that in mind, he’s advanced
enough that the Rays drafted him seven rounds earlier.
Thomas Milone 在美式足球場的表現很棒。但光芒相信他的球棒會做得更好。
2006年光芒在第10輪選中Desmond Jennings時，他也是美式足球校隊裡的接球員
Milone也是如此，但即使有這方面的考量，他展現出來的進步讓光芒願意提前七輪
就選他。
Milone, 6’0〃 and 185 pounds, coming out of Masuk High School in
Connecticut, did not get too much of a chance to play baseball coming out of
the Northeast, but you can’t describe him as raw. Milone is an outstanding
athlete, but he steps into the batter’s box with an idea of what he’s
doing. A Lefty hitter, Milone stands out at the plate for both his bat speed
and strength, and this year he started making adjustments at the plate to use
them. He worked on a step and a stride to give him a timing mechanism and use
his lower half in his swings, and he lowered his wrists to take a shorter
path to the ball and utilize his bat speed. He started adding some lift in
his swing to start tapping into his power but at the same time stopped trying
to pull everything and started using the whole field. He shows flashes of
being an above-average hitter for both average and power. Milone just keeps
getting better the more he plays, and who knows who good he can be when he
commits to baseball full-time. He still does have plenty to work on. He turns
his wrists as the ball comes in, something that also helped him time pitches
him, but where he moved wasn’t always consistent, resulting in some wild
swings and bat speed not up to his best. He has showed some solid pitch
recognition but that will be a continued focus for him, and he will have to
be more patient at the plate as well. But Milone’s ability to adapt so far
certainly bodes well for him moving forward and inspires confidence that he
will only continue to improve.
來自Masuk High School的Milone，6'0"，185磅，在東北地區能打棒球的機
會並不多，但卻無法用粗糙來形容他。Milone是很出色的運動員，同時他站上打
擊區是有一套想法在腦袋中運轉的，左打的Milone在揮棒速度和力量這兩部分做
得很好，今年更進行了一些調整讓這兩項特長可以充分運用在比賽裡。他改進了
腳步和跨步，來幫助他可以更正確的抓住打擊時機，配合揮棒速度來攻擊對手，
在揮擊時也加進抬腳動作使他能更能發揮長打能力，同時減少拉打頻率，開始嘗
試反方向的攻擊。他的進步讓他有機會成為水準之上的打擊者，不論是打擊率或
是長打能力。Milone在進行更多球賽後會持續進步，而且沒有人知道當他把所有
重新放在棒球時他可以做到多好。還有很長的一段路要走。當球進到好球帶時，
手腕的轉動時可以幫助他抓住球心，但這個技巧還不穩定，導致了很多怪異的揮
擊，揮棒速度也無法充分展現。有一定的選球能力，但還需要更有耐心。Milone
到目前為止的適應能力讓球探對他深具信心，隨著時間前進，期待他不斷進步。
Milone is impressive enough at the plate, but don’t forget how athletic he
is. Milone isn’t a burner but has well above-average speed, making him a
stolen base threat but serving him extremely well defensively as well. He
gets good jumps in centerfield, giving him the ability to stay at the
position and even be a very good defender someday. His arm is average but
certainly enough. Milone adds to his defensive tools with outstanding hustle
and isn’t afraid to make contact with the wall, both carryovers from the
football field. When you add in his offensive profile to his defense, you
have a player with the ability to be a well above-average major league
centerfielder. Milone is going to need time to develop and there’s always
risk whenever you draft an athlete who hasn’t played all that much baseball.
But Milone’s tools continue to excite and the aptitude he has shown so far
is enough to make you believe that he really has a chance to put it all
together. Each year playing baseball he has only gotten better and better,
and the Rays believe that we haven’t even come close to seeing just how good
he can be.
Milone在打擊區的表現不錯，但也不要因此乎略他的運動能力，稱不上是快
腿，但水準之上的速度讓他深具盜壘威脅，同時在防守時提供了很棒的基礎。在
中外野的移動很棒，有天會成為出色的防守者，臂力一般，但還算夠用。Milone
積極拚搶和不畏懼與牆壁碰撞的特質都提高了他在防守端的評價，而這些都是從
美式足球場上學來的。當你將他的攻守放在一起評估，會看到一位水準之上的大
聯盟中外野手，Milone要學的地方還很多，而且培養一位缺乏棒球經驗新秀肯定
要承受一定的風險。但Milone目前具備的技能讓人感到興奮，而他在場上展現的
實力也讓球團有信心他在未來能做得更好，他每年都在進步，光芒相信他們目前
預測的遠不及Milone所能發揮的最大程度。
