[情報] 2017 BA Chicago Cubs NO.8 Prospects
8. Trevor Clifton, rhp
Born: May 11, 1995. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 170. Drafted: HS—Maryville,
Tenn., 2013 (12th round). Signed by: Keith Rymon.
Background: Four of the first 36 players drafted in 2016 were members of the
state of Tennessee’s prep class of 2013. Clifton was one of just two preps
to turn pro out of the Volunteer State that year, signing for $375,000. He
had his breakout in 2016, earning high Class A Carolina League pitcher of the
year honors while leading Myrtle Beach to the league title. He led the league
in ERA (2.72), WHIP (1.16) and opponent average (.225).
Scouting Report: With a body that evokes comparisons with Cubs righty
reliever Justin Grimm, Clifton has filled out physically. Club officials put
him closer to 6-foot-4, 220 pounds than his listed weight. With the added
strength has come more consistent velocity, with an above-average fastball
that ranges from 90-95 mph. While he throws both a slider and a curveball,
Clifton’s solid-average curve is the better pitch, with shape and depth at
its best. When his arm slot floats, though, his breaking balls do as well. He
has a solid-average to above-average changeup and shackled lefthanded batters
(.205/.280/.268) in 2016. He still needs to add polish, such as improving
defensively and quickening his time to the plate.
The Future: Clifton is the best bet the Cubs have for a homegrown rotation
piece, though he’s likely no more than a No. 4 starter. He heads for
Double-A Tennessee, less than an hour from his hometown, in 2017.
