1 9 ARI Jarrod Parker rhp Norwell (Ind.) HS IN Parker pitched for Team USA's junior national squad that won a silver medal in the World Junior Championship in Cuba last September. He has blown away scouts and hitters all spring, warming up for his initial start at 93-94 mph and hitting 97 with his first official pitch of the season. He touched 98 in that game and has continued to do so since, often working at 95-96. Just 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Parker generates his exceptional velocity with an unbelievably quick arm. One scouting director says he has the best arm action of any high school pitcher in the draft, and he has drawn comparisons to a righthanded version of Scott Kazmir and to Tim Lincecum. Parker doesn't have Lincecum's untouchable curveball, but he does have a power curve with good depth and has shown a mid-80s slider. He hasn't needed it much against inferior high school competition, but Parker also has flashed an average to plus changeup. He didn't allow a run until his sixth start or an earned run until his seventh. A Georgia Tech recruit, he should go in the first half of the first round, perhaps to the Braves at No. 14. 1s 50 ARI Wes Roemer rhp Cal State Fullerton CA A preseason first-team All-American, Roemer had one of the best seasons in Cal State Fullerton history in 2006, leading the Titans to Omaha at 13-2, 2.38 in a national-high 155 innings. He stumbled out of the gates in 2007, thanks in part to a broken pinky finger, before rallying late to get his numbers (8-5, 2.97) back in line with past performance. Roemer's best weapon is his command. He had plunked 58 batters in his career, many of them on purpose, as he'd rather hit a batter than walk him (40 career walks). While he doesn't have true elite, put-it-in-a-cup command, he has well-above-average control and pounds the strike zone with his fastball, which was fringe-average early but touched 93 mph and sat at 88-91 later in the year. His slider is above-average for the college level and plays average with mid-70s velocity and some depth. He spots his changeup and throws it for strikes. Roemer's spunky attitude can turn some opponents and scouts off, and his average stuff doesn't leave much room for error. But Titans coaches credit him with competing hard and helping the team while pitching through the pinky injury. 1s 61 ARI Ed Easley c Mississippi State MS Easley was a second-team high school All-American out of Olive Branch, Miss., who has steadily become a reliable catcher with an offensive mindset. Though he has played third base and catcher during his college career, Easley's value lies in his ability to remain behind the plate. He's similar to 2006 Mississippi State draftee Chris Coughlan in that he makes consistent hard contact but doesn't have the type of power potential to profile as an everyday third baseman in the majors. He has a simple approach, using all fields and keeping his hands inside the ball effectively. He has plenty of bat speed and leverage in his swing to develop average power. His catch-and-throw skills are passable, but his arm isn't as strong as his statistics might suggest. He threw out a Southeastern Conference-high 22 runners this season, including nine in the Louisiana State series. He uses a quick release and easy exchange to his advantage. He's a solid-average runner. Easley will benefit from his reputation as a good college hitter in this draft, and might be taken as early as the second or third round. 2 73 ARI Barry Enright rhp Pepperdine CA Few college players were having better seasons than Enright, who could go early to a performance-oriented organization. He had climbed to second all-time at Pepperdine in wins, with a career 34-5 record, and his competitiveness and unwillingness to give in to hitters endears him to scouts. On a good day, Enright touches 90-92 mph with his fastball, but he pitches in the 87-89 range, and none of his secondary pitches--slider, curveball or changeup--excites scouts either. His command rivals that of fellow SoCal college righties James Simmons and Wes Roemer, however, and he had walked just 1.62 batters per nine over nearly 333 career innings. He improved his feel for pitching steadily through his college career and firmed up his body. His stuff, strike-throwing and bulldog nature profile him best as a middle reliever, but he'll get a chance in the back of a professional rotation. 3 103 ARI Reynaldo Navarro ss Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, Guaynabo, P.R. PR A February workout in Puerto Rico drew several dozen scouts, and Angel Morales and Neftali Soto were the two prospects to show the most potential. But when even more scouts showed up for a predraft workout on the island in May, it was the slick-fielding Navarro who earned accolades. He swings the bat with authority, hitting line drives to left field with plus bat speed. He is susceptible to balls on the outer half, as he tends to cheat on the inside pitch, but he shows a willingness to spread out and use the middle of the field with two strikes, so it's reasonable to think Navarro can refine his overall approach. He has flashy, natural actions up the middle, and other than improving his consistency on routine, Navarro's defensive package is his most appealing asset. He has a fringe-average arm. He's a solid-average runner. Navarro could be drafted as early as the second round. 4 133 ARI Sean Morgan rhp Tulane LA Morgan shared outstanding pitcher honors at the 2003 World Wood Bat Championship with Yovani Gallardo, who's now with the Brewers and is one of the best pitching prospects in the minors. He could have been a third-round pick as a Texas high schooler in 2004 had he not been intent on attending Tulane, and he'll go in roughly the same range three years later. He has one of the best sliders in the draft, along with a solid-average fastball. His maximum-effort delivery isn't pretty but works for him, and he needs to watch his weight. Morgan's fastball has ranged from 88-92 mph and touched 94 mph, and he threw harder as a freshman when the Green Wave used him as a reliever. That's the role he projects to fill as a pro, as he can carve up hitters with his slider and won't have to worry as much about using his changeup. The main concern about using him out of the bullpen is that it often takes him an inning to get rolling. Morgan carried as much as 230 pounds in the fall, but he dropped 15 pounds after getting mono and looks better without the extra weight. Neither he nor Tulane performed well down the stretch, with Morgan struggling with his command, a byproduct of his less-than-smooth mechanics. 5 163 ARI Tyrell Worthington of South Central HS, Winterville, N.C. NC Worthington was known primarily for his prowess on the football field prior to this spring. He was an all-state running back as a senior, amassing more than 2,500 yards rushing, and committed to play football at ECU. He shortened his swing and showed plus bat speed and raw power this spring. He uses his hands well through his swing and balls jump off his bat when he squares them up. He's also a 65 runner on the 20-80 scale, making for all the tools of an offensive-minded center fielder. Worthington doesn't command the strike zone, however, and his free-swinging approach needs refining. A patient team that believes in his projection could take Worthington in the fifth or sixth round, but he might be a tough sign for slot money in that range. 6 193 ARI Scott Maine lhp Miami FL A fourth-year junior who has never fulfilled his potential, Maine could carve out a niche in pro ball because of his low arm slot and deceiving delivery. His fastball ranges from 87-92 mph, and he has a slurvy breaking ball as well as some feel for a changeup. Since being named a third-team BA High School All-American in 2003, Maine had Tommy John surgery and was in a serious car accident. He wore a protective mask most of his sophomore season and pitched fewer than 10 innings before settling into a regular role as a starter last spring. The Rockies drafted him last year in the 23rd round, but Maine elected to return to school. 7 223 ARI Bryan Augenstein rhp Florida FL Righthander Bryan Augenstein took his regular turn in the Gators rotation each weekend and led the team in innings (103) and strikeouts (97), but didn't miss many bats and was generally underwhelming. The regular season came to an unceremonious end when Augenstein was roughed up for 14 hits and 11 runs (10 earned) against South Carolina. He's big and strong, but Augenstein's stuff lacks life and his secondary stuff is fringe-average. A third-team Preseason All-American, if he can rediscover the life on his high-80s fastball and improve his breaking ball, he could have value as a middle reliever. 10 313 ARI Evan Frey of Missouri MO Outfielder Evan Frey and second baseman Brock Bond set the table for Missouri atop its lineup. Frey is an outstanding defender who routinely makes highlight catches in center field. He also has plus speed, some gap power and a knack for getting on base. 15 463 ARI Josh Collmenter rhp Central Michigan MI Mid-American Conference pitcher of the year Josh Collmenter isn't pretty, but he is creative. A 6-foot-4, 235-pound righthander with a stiff body and an over-the-top delivery, he spent much of the spring pitching at 85-88 mph before reaching the 90s more regularly toward the end of the season. Velocity isn't the key to his fastball, as it misses bats because of its natural cutting action. Collmenter also throws a big, looping curveball at 69-75 mph and a changeup that he sometimes tips off by reducing his arm speed. He's also been known to mess with an eephus pitch and a knuckleball. Collmenter throws strikes, changes speeds, competes hard and has a deceptive delivery, all of which help him pitch above the level of his pure stuff. Scouts don't believe he has a consistently average pitch and wonder how his package will play in the higher levels of pro ball, but he could go as high as the fourth round to a club that believes in his feel for pitching and track record. 18 553 ARI Sammy Solis lhp Agua Fria HS, Litchfield Park, Ariz. AZ Solis entered the year as the state's No. 3 prep talent and touched 91 mph right out of the gate, sitting at 89-90 mph. His fastball velocity never got back over 86 the rest of the year. Combined with his San Diego commitment, most scouts wrote him off as a college guy. 24 733 ARI Luke Prihoda rhp Sam Houston State TX Righthander Luke Prihoda won Southland Conference pitcher of the year honors after ranking first in Division I in saves (17) and second in ERA (1.21) entering NCAA regional play. He was named MVP of the conference tournament, saving two games and winning a third as Sam Houston State earned its first NCAA postseason berth in 11 years. Prihoda also dominated last summer as the top pitching prospect in the Coastal Plain League, where he didn't allow a run and had a 54-2 K-BB ratio in 28 innings. Prihoda isn't a classic prospect because he has a soft body (6-foot-5, 230 pounds), an average fastball and a flat slider. But he throws nothing but strikes and competes. == 感謝某位不願具名的大大提供跟大家做不一樣的事情這才是D'backs板啊 XDDDD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.201.64 ※ 編輯: mittermeyer 來自: 61.228.201.64 (06/13 02:11)
