HOU select Forrest Whitley
球探報告
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 55 |
Control: 50 | Overall: 55
Whitley rocketed from a sub-6-footer with a mid-70s fastball when he entered
Alamo Heights High (San Antonio) to 6-foot-7 and low-90s heat by the time he
was a sophomore. He has continued to improve, impressing on the showcase
circuit and with the U.S. national 18-and-under team last year and pitching
better than ever this spring. He has been spectacular in the Texas 5-A state
playoffs, striking out 53 and allowing just two unearned runs in 27 innings
to earn four wins and pitch the Mules into the semifinals, and he could be
the second high school right-hander drafted, behind Kansas' Riley Pint.
Whitley has a complete three-pitch arsenal, starting with a 92-97 mph fastball
with some cutting action at the lower end of that range and some running life
at the upper end. His power curveball tops out in the low 80s with tight spin
and good depth, and he'll sometimes turn it into a harder slider. He has upgraded
his changeup and used it more this spring, and it drops at the plate and shows
flashes of becoming a third plus offering.
Scouts also have liked how Whitley has firmed up his large frame, which looked
soft at times in 2015. He has good body control for a big kid and does a nice
job of repeating a delivery that doesn't feature much effort. There were some
initial concerns about the Florida State recruit's signability, but he has
pushed himself high enough in the Draft to where it shouldn't be an issue.
個人看法
Forrest Whitley: 一般認為應該會在10~20順位之間被選走,Riley Pint身體素質雖棒,
但是控球跟投球機制都沒Whitley穩,來看看Whitley的身材跟條件
位置: RHP身高: 6尺7吋 體重: 225磅
球種: 能飆到97 mile又有尾勁的火球,Plus 曲球跟平均水準的滑球,控球也不錯
為何我看好他呢? 妖怪一樣的身材條件,身材高又壯的不像話,一般高中生投手
95%以上姿勢都不太固定(Brady Aiken的超棒mechanic根本超級罕見),Whitley除了
Mechanic好,姿勢也很穩定,控球不算好,但以高中生來說算不錯了
記得前兩年的Tyler Kolek嗎? 同樣身材高壯(6尺5吋,260磅),但Kolek除了球速比
Whitley稍快,無論控球,投球機制,穩定性,Whitley都樂勝
同時有這種身材,控球跟投球機制的投手,實在無法相信他是高中生
從側面看投球(這已經是去年的影片,但看起來當時已經很猛了)

從投手後方看,00:39 可以看出他的FB不只快,還會往右打者內角下方鑽

而且這傢伙還長得帥(影片31秒左右)

從身材條件,FB速度與位移,low 80的絕殺slurve,投球機制不錯控球OK的高中生,
是不是很像當年的Jose Fernandez呢?

我一向欣賞身材好,投球動作也順的投手,這種投手只要不受傷,未來都不會太差,
上一個例子就是Jose Fernandez,我在2012年看他影片就很看好JoFer,
Whitley的整體條件不會比選秀時期的JoFer差,而且Whitley長相不輸Cole Hammels
跟Kris Bryant,他真的順利升上大聯盟站穩先發,肯定是個吸票機

我覺得如果賭其他的高中投手確實風險比較高,HS投手風險高,怕Mechanic
有問題或姿勢不固定但Whitley的姿勢很固定,投球機制看來應該也沒啥要
修的地方(除非怕他機制太暴力),一般的高中投手投球姿勢幾乎都很生嫩,
但是這隻看起來一點都不會,雖然我襪選的Jason Groome很棒,但我還是比
較看好這隻 我對他確實比較有愛 @@
