School Type: Four-Year College
Academic Class: Junior
Birthdate: 10/23/85
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Bats: Right

Report Date(s): 02/16/07
Game(s): Oral Roberts
Focus Area Comments
Fastball: Demel was throwing his fastball up to 94 mph against Oral Roberts.
FB Movement: Demel's fastball has plus life.
Slider: Demel's slider was in the 78-80 mph range, though he wasn't consistent
with it.
Changeup: Demel's changeup was a swing and miss pitch. Though it's a straight
change, it had a split-finger action to it.
Control: With the exception of some sliders that were up in the zone, Demel
commanded all three pitches well.
Poise: Demel is a very good competitor, with an aggressive nature who comes
right after hitters.
Physical Description: Demel is not very big and has a softer body, but is
surprisingly strong. He comes at hitters with a lower 3/4 arm slot.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: A fastball with plus velocity and life and a nasty changeup for an
out pitch
Weaknesses: His slider. He gets around it at times, causing it to be up in the
zone. It will need to be tightened at the next level.
Summary: Demel旧 been a starter and reliever in his career, but it seems almost
definite his future will be in the bullpen. With a fastball in the
mid-90s, a slider that can be a plus pitch and a changeup that has a
split-finger type action to it, he旧 got the stuff to get to the big
leagues quickly, albeit with a maximum effort delivery. He could be a
setup guy in a bullpen sooner rather than later.

Sam Demel, rhp (National rank: 70)
School: Texas Christian. Class: Jr.
B-T: R-R.
Ht.: 6-0.
Wt.: 185.
Birthdate: 10/23/85.
Scouting Report:
Demel broke Josh Beckett's single-season strikeout record with 188 at Spring
(Texas) High, and he has set the career saves mark at Texas Christian. He also
has enjoyed success as a starter for the Horned Frogs, but pro teams project
him as a reliever because he's small (6 feet, 185 pounds) and has a lot of
violence in his delivery. That max-effort approach does produce nasty stuff,
however. Demel has a 92-94 mph fastball that can touch 96, and it has armside
run. His slider may be his best pitch, though at times he'll rely on it too
much. He also has a changeup that drops off at the plate, giving him a weapon
against lefthanders. While his mechanics make scouts cringe, Demel never has
had arm problems. He figures to go between the second and fourth rounds, and a
team coveting a nearly ready reliever could make him a supplemental
first-rounder.
