原文網址：http://tigers.scout.com/2/1140274.html Tigers Prospect Profile #45: Brian Flynn The Tigers snagged the big, left-hander Brian Flynn in the seventh round of the 2011 draft, and he immediately paid off dividends, shining for West Michigan down the stretch. What does Flynn bring to the organization, and could his early success be a sign of things to come? 我們在11年選秀第6輪選擇了這位左投大隻佬，之後立刻跳級到West Michigan先發，還投的不錯，所以…從中能出些甚麼嗎?? Brian Flynn http://zzb.bz/JyjUG Position: Left-handed Pitcher Height: 6-8 Weight: 240 Born: 4/19/1990 Bats: Left Throws: Left Background Flynn was a product of the vaunted Owasso (Okla.) High School baseball program that produced current Tigers prospect Matt Hoffman and former Tigers prospect Dallas Trahern, among a litany of other good prospects. Flynn跟目前在系統3A的左手牛Matt Hoffman還有前小聯盟投手Dallas Trahern (米糕、D-Train交易配菜之一，因為打世界盃來過台灣)，出產自同所高中Owasso (Okla.) High School As a freshman at Wichita State - after turning down the Red Sox in the 18th round of the draft - Flynn posted a 4.98 ERA and 2-5 record working as the Shockers primary mid-week starter. He struck out 59 batters in 56 innings and big things were expected of him in 2010. Unfortunately, Flynn became the first player under head coach Gene Stephenson's tenure to be declared academically ineligible for a season. He missed the entire 2010 campaign but righted himself and returned to the field for the 2011 season. As a redshirt sophomore, Flynn appeared in 20 games (11 starts) and posted a 4.63 ERA and 6-4 record. He fanned 77 batters in 83 2/3 innings while allowing 79 hits and walking 39. 拒絕肥襪簽約(當年18輪)之後，大一在Wichita State繳出ERA4.89、戰績2勝5敗，56局有59次三振，這樣的成績讓人對他來年充滿期待結果隔年竟然因為學業問題無法出賽而GG了… 來到第三年，身為"redshirt"大二資格生，成績：ERA4.63、戰績6勝4敗，82.2局有77次三振／39次保送，被打79支安打，投的只能說還可以，進步幅度不大。 The Tigers sent Flynn to West Michigan after he signed for $125,000 in the 7th round of the 2011 draft. He went 7-2 down the stretch for the Whitecaps, helping the team come within just a game of the Midwest League playoffs. He finished his pro debut with a 3.46 ERA in 67 2/3 innings with 58 hits allowed, 23 walks and 57 strikeouts. Flynn在第7輪選後拿到12萬5千簽約金，接著在Whitecaps先發出賽，短短的時間內拿下 7勝2敗…(詳細成績請看原文，懶得再打一遍了XD)， Scouting Report Flynn has an extra large body that gives him an imposing presence when standing on the mound. He towers over opposing hitters and generates outstanding downward angle to the plate with his fastball. 在投手丘上Flynn顯得非常巨大，看起來格外有威嚴，這個優勢也顯現在面對打者時他高人一等的出手角度。 There's a lot of variety in Flynn's fastball, and not necessarily in a good way. During the first and second inning of his starts, he can routinely get up to 91-92 mph out of the windup. From the stretch, his peak velocity dips to 88-89 mph, and he loses even more after the second inning. In the latter innings of many starts, scouts reported seeing him work in the 86-88 range. Flynn的球速極度不穩定，投前2局可以飆到91-92 mph，接著一路下滑，有時甚至在第2局就低到88 mph以下，大多數的先發到後段局數，快速球只剩86-88 range (太胖了…體力不好？！) Command of the fastball comes and goes for Flynn, but when he can locate down in the zone he can be extremely tough to elevate because of his outstanding angle to the plate. 當Flynn能控好他的快速球，就算球速不是頂級，憑藉如此高的出手角度，對打者來說仍是場夢靨 Flynn will also throw a change-up and a slider during his starts, though neither shows much on a regular basis. His slider will flash as an average pitch occasionally with some solid downward action, while his change-up will show as average more frequently and it can be a weapon to help deter right-handed hitters. Flynn也會丟些變速球／滑球，目前是前者更能穩定的達到平均水準，可以拿來對付右打者 The nuances of pitching are still a bit of a mystery to Flynn. He doesn't have a reliable pickoff move that can deceive runners and as a result, he struggles to help his catcher control the running game. He is awkward getting off the mound and will require significant work in fielding his position and knowing his responsibilities as a defender. 除了投球之外的比賽部分對Flynn來說有如百慕達三角洲般神秘又令人畏懼，身為左投，卻完全無法有效地看管一壘上跑者，他的守備移位、傳球都令人不卒忍睹，一切都得重新再教育！！ Because of his youth and inexperience as a pro, some scouts still dream on Flynn's huge frame and the flashes of quality stuff. There is a faint window where he could become a solid 4th or 5th starter. There exists another cadre of scouts that firmly believe Flynn is a reliever right now and in the future and he would be better served spending his developmental time focusing there. In the end, Flynn is likely a situational reliever or possibly a 6th or 7th inning guy. His stuff may show better in shorter stints and he may have an opportunity to accentuate his best attributes. 有些球探因為Flynn的肉體跟偶爾乍現的好球而對他多有幻想，也許…只是也許…哪天他能成為四五號先發，但現在看來牛棚會是他最好的歸宿。 Performance http://zzb.bz/JyjUG Level Team W-L ERA G GS SV SO BB IP WHIP A West Mich. 7-2 3.46 13 13 0 57 23 67.2 1.20 Health Record Flynn has not had significant injury throughout his college or pro career. As mentioned, he saw no game action in 2010 at Wichita State, and as a result, his arm may be fresher than your typical three-year college pitcher. 大學至今Flynn還未經歷任何重大傷痛，另外，2010在大學他整季未出賽，也許他的手臂比一班大學投手要更"新鮮"一點 The Future Reports received indicate the Tigers remain undecided as to where Flynn will land for the 2012 season. He has logged nearly 70 innings in Low-A already and could be ready for a shot at the High-A Florida State League in the spring. 路透社指出，球團目前還無法決定Flynn在新球季的定位與規劃，憑藉他已在1A吃了近 70局，也許A+開季開季是比較合理的推測 Flynn is definitely a developmental project for the Tigers but the payoff could be a unique back of the rotation starter if it all comes together. Flynn需要球團花時間好好去培養，哪天養成了，5號先發又多一個有力人選 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.137.198.5
