Re: [情報] BA Top 10 Prospects-C.J. Edwards
Born: Sept. 3, 1991. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-2.
Wt.: 155. Drafted: HS—Prosperity, S.C., 2011 (48th round). Signed by: Chris
Kemp (Rangers).
C.J. Edwards
Background: Rangers area scout Chris Kemp found Edwards in Prosperity, S.C.,
where he played in an adult league with other members of his baseball-steeped
family. The Rangers waited until the 48th round to draft him and signed him for
$50,000. He became the key piece in the package of prospects the Cubs received
in the Matt Garza trade.
Scouting Report: Edwards misses barrels and bats, combining great stuff with
tremendous work ethic and makeup. His thin frame evokes comparisons with Oil
Can Boyd and prompts questions about his long-term durability, but his stuff
was at its best in September during the Florida State League playoffs. He
locates his 93-95 mph fastball with excellent riding life and he’s allowed
only one pro homer. Edwards’ curveball gives him a second plus pitch with bite
and feel in the upper 70s, and he throws a hard slider as well that earns
average grades. He uses his changeup sparingly but locked up lefthanded hitters
anyway (.175, five extra-base hits in 166 at-bats). He needs more strength to
maintain his stuff deeper into games and keep his long arms and delivery on
time.
The Future: If he can hold up physically over the long term Edwards has
front-of-the-rotation potential. He’s headed to Double-A for 2014.
