Re: [情報] BA Top 10 Prospects-Jeimer Candelario
Born: Nov. 24, 1993. B-T: B-R. Ht.: 6-1.
Jeimer Candelario
Wt.: 180. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2010. Signed by: Jose
Serra/Marino Encarnacion.
Background:The Cubs could have taken it slow with Candelario but instead gave
him an Opening Day assignment in the low Class A Midwest League as a
19-year-old. In his first full season since signing for $500,000 in 2010, he
grinded out a productive season, leading the team in games played and walks
while ranking third in the league in doubles.
Scouting Report: Though as a switch-hitter he has to put in twice the work,
Candelario has one (or actually two) of the more polished swings in the
organization. He stays balanced in the box with a little knee tuck to get his
swing started, then he stays in the strike zone well with his line-drive swing
plane. He started realizing his own hot zones as a hitter and hit eight of his
11 homers after July 1. Club officials project him to hit for above-average
power when it’s all said and done, with average to above hitting ability. He’
s a grinder defensively as well, with modest first-step quickness and
below-average speed, but he has enough arm strength for third and solid hands.
The Future: Candelario is further from reaching his potential than the hitters
who rank ahead of him. With added strength and continued defensive polish,
Candelario can fit the third-base profile. If he doesn’t stay at third,
however, he’ll be limited to first base, so the Cubs will give him time. He’s
headed to high Class A Daytona for 2014.
