[選秀] 第一輪三明治第47順位: Kyle Heckathorn
BA球探報告(第28號新秀)：
Kyle Heckathorn, RHP, Kennesaw State University
Heckathorn has been on scouts' radars since he started growing into his
6-foot-6, 240-pound frame. As a prep junior, he had an ankle injury that
prompted many of the larger schools recruiting him to hesitate, while
Kennesaw State kept after him. He reciprocated their loyalty and finally was
having a breakout season as a junior, after several fits and starts.
Heckathorn has raw stuff on par with anyone in the draft class, even Stephen
Strasburg. He runs his fastball up to 99 mph as a starter, sitting in the
94-97 range into the eighth inning against Jacksonville in a May start. His
slider can be similarly lethal, sometimes turning into a true cutter at 91-93
mph, other times getting decent depth in the 85-88 mph range. He doesn't
throw much that's soft and actually throws too many strikes; he hasn't yet
learned how to set up hitters to chase his slider or heater out of the zone
when ahead in the count. Heckathorn's quick (two outing) departure from the
Cape Cod League last summer raised some red flags for teams, as has his lack
of consistent dominance in the Atlantic Sun. His command also is not what it
should be. Most clubs consider Heckathorn, who has a short, quick arm action,
a likely reliever as a pro, as a better (they hope) version of Kyle
Farnsworth.
