six-figure bonus. Get all the details on this raw but talented prospect!

Adelyn Santa
Position: Third Baseman
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200
Born: 6/1/1995
Bats: Right

Background
Santa was the Tigers big splash in Latin America last summer, signing as soon
as the international signing period opened in July. The Tigers scouted Santa
heavily in advance of his signing and ultimately gave him a rumored $750,000
signing bonus.
去年七月,國際球員市場開市第一時間就搶標的頂級貨,先前就已經有完整的研究,
不是盲目搶標,乳摸說簽約金高達75萬美金 (Danry Vasquez則是破百萬)
Scouting Report
Santa has two tools that draw rave reviews from scouts, his power bat and
power arm.
Santa有兩項長處讓球探為之瘋狂:
1. 強力大砲瓦
2. 強力雷射肩
Santa has good strength in his swing and generates good leverage for his age.
He can drive the ball way out of the park in batting practice but is still
learning to translate his strength to game situations. Scouts I spoke with last
summer tossed 60-grades on his raw power and believe he could hit 25 home runs
annually if the rest of his game comes together.
Santa有超越同年齡的揮棒速度,在打擊練習時總能輕易將球轟出場外,現在仍在如何
將砲瓦轉換到真實比賽當中。Anderson詢問過的球探認為,如果一切發展順利他的
raw power有60-grade水準(一年25發全壘打)
The ability to make contact remains very raw for Santa. He doesn't recognize
pitches well and is still learning the bounds of the strike zone and what
pitches he can drive. He has the length in his swing that invokes images of a
classic power hitter, but that length also opens up significant holes in his
game. There were several talent evaluators that questioned whether Santa would
even hit .250 down the line.
站上打擊區除了power,Santa其他都需要大大加強,他的contact還不夠好,缺乏pitches
recognize跟控制好球帶的能力,他的揮棒軌跡是標準大砲,同時也會帶來許多的揮空與
弱點,很多人擔心Santa未來連戰上AVG.250都有困難
Santa is a below-average runner now and could lose speed as he ages and bulks
up. He will have to work hard not to become a 20-grade runner and possible base
clogger.
Santa才17歲就已經是below-average的跑者,隨著年紀越長越大越來越壯,他需要努力
維持腳程好讓自己的速度不到觸底的20-grade,甚至成為"壘包間的絆腳石"
Despite his plus arm strength, there are still concerns about whether Santa can
remain at third base. He is already thick in the lower half and doesn't have
great range, with the obvious concern that he could thicken up more with
physical maturity.
除了有雷射肩,球探們還是質疑Santa能否常駐三壘,現在下半身已經又厚又壯,未來的
守備範圍只會更小
The only place for Santa to go on the defensive spectrum is first base. He has
solid hands and he seems to have the aptitude to develop the appropriate
footwork if forced to the position.
一壘會是Santa守備光譜中的最後歸宿,他有不錯的手感跟靈活性來練好防守腳步
固守一壘
Regardless of whether Santa plays third base or first base, there is going to
be significant pressure on the development of his bat. He will need to hit and
hit for power to become the prospect the Tigers envision because his glove is
never going to carry him.
不管一壘還是三壘,Santa身為propect的重點在於他手中的棒子,手套對他來說永遠都不
會是被稱讚的優點,他必須靠棒子來爭得自己的地位
Performance
Did not appear professionally in 2011 after signing in July.
Health Record
There are no notable injuries in Santa's past but he will need to focus on his
conditioning as he gets older to remain a durable player that can avoid most
minor injuries.
小小年紀還沒沒有健康問題,不過他必須小心控制自己的身體跟體能
以防長大後碰到狀況
The Future
Santa will make his professional debut in 2012 after participating in the
Tigers Dominican Instructional League last fall. The Tigers are still weighing
whether or not to bring Santa stateside for some exposure to the system's top
coaches in spring training. If he comes stateside during that time, his
performance will determine whether he will play in the DSL or GCL this summer.
新球季不管在哪裡,都會是Santa的職業初登板,經過去年秋天在多明尼加指導聯盟洗禮,
球團還未決定是否現在就要把他帶來美國春訓
如果真的來了,他將是春訓裡教練重點指導照料的主菜之一,同時也得靠他自己的表現
來決定是在菜鳥聯盟開季還是回到多明尼加的Summer League
Santa is eons away from the big leagues and will likely need 5-6 years in the
minor leagues to develop both physically and offensively. Fans should not be
surprised or disappointed if he needs two or even three years in short-season
ball before he reaches West Michigan.
Santa來大聯盟大概還有5~6年的距離,我們甚至不用驚訝他得花2~3年的時間才爬到
1A West Michigan,總之就慢慢等吧
