Prospect Hot Sheet
3. BOBBY BORCHERING, 3B
The Scoop: The Diamondbacks were loaded with top picks in the 2009 draft,
including five picks before the second round. Their top pick was Borchering,
the 16th overall selection out of high school in Florida. The early returns
were shaky, as the powerful switch-hitter wasn't doing much of any hitting.
That changed this week, when Borchering had the best week of his pro career.
He's had a multi-hit game in his last five games and homered for the second
straight day yesterday, bringing him up to .277/.340/.422 in 104 games.
5. MATT DAVIDSON, 3B
The Scoop: Here's something you rarely see: two position players who play the
same position on the same affiliate taking up real estate on the Hot Sheet.
Can you really argue against putting Borchering and Davidson on here, though?
While one plays third base, the other serves as South Bend's DH. That really
isn't ideal, especially for a pair of power hitters who need work to be able
to stay at third base, but Davidson hasn't let it affect his hitting. While
Borchering is just starting to get going at the plate, Davidson has performed
well all season. He's hitting .300/.382/.509 with 14 home runs in 102 games
for the Silver Hawks, showing a good approach, quick hands and the strength
to hit for power to all fields.
10. PAT CORBIN, LHP
The Scoop: Included by the Angels in their deal for Dan Haren, Corbin got his
Diamondbacks career started in style, tossing eight scoreless innings and
striking out everybody in sight. His second start was shortened to three
innings because of a piggyback arrangement with Taylor Sinclair, but Arizona
sure must be excited by its limited look at Corbin. He throws a darting
fastball, working both sides of the plate, and his slider has two-plane
depth. Most believe his changeup will develop in time because of his strong
aptitude for pitching. A second-round pick in 2009, Corbin move quickly to
the Cal League this year with the Angels, and in 13 starts at the level, he's
gone 5-3, 3.42 with a 76-to-20 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 68 innings.
And the news gets better for the Diamondbacks system: Tyler Skaggs is
expected to join the organization on Sunday as the player to be named in the
Haren trade. According to the 19-year-old lefty, all he can do now is "long
toss and run."
