[ＢＡ] 17. Kam Mickolio
New GM Kevin Towers wasted no time in beginning his makeover of the Arizona
bullpen, sending Mark Reynolds to the Orioles for David Hernandez and Mickolio.
The Mickolio scouting report is starting to sound like a broken record, but
when you can throw a fastball at 95-96 mph and touch 98 with nasty life in the
zone, you'll get every possible chance to succeed. Mickolio was one of the
players the Orioles got from the Mariners in the Erik Bedard trade before the
2008 season, and he has received big league looks in each of the last three
seasons. He won a quick promotion to Baltimore last April, but he didn't throw
enough strikes and got lit up in the big leagues, going back down after just
three appearances. He was shut down for about six weeks in June and July with a
shoulder strain. The dominant Mickolio reappeared in the Arizona Fall League,
as he posted a 0.75 ERA with 18 strikeouts and two walks in 12 innings,
including a scoreless inning in the league championship game. When he's on.
Mickolio can pile up the scoreless innings, unleashing power fastballs and hard
sliders from an intimidating 6-foot-9 frame and unorthodox crossfire delivery.
He uses his changeup on occasion, though it's below-average pitch and not an
essential part of his arsenal. His ultimate success depends on his ability to
repeat his delivery and establish better command. He shows it in flashes but so
far has not done it consistently in the majors. The Diamondbacks are counting
on him to contribute right away.
