第三輪選了兩個投手，附上Scout，請享用。 Edwin Diaz Edwin Diaz is closely linked with fellow right hander J.O. Berrios as the two top pitching prospects in Puerto Rico this year, although the two have entirely different physical profiles and pitching styles. Berrios was the subject of last Friday’s Perfect Game Draft Focus and is projected to go a bit higher, but not much so, than Diaz on June 4. It’s also worth noting that the third best pitching prospect in this year’s Puerto Rican draft class is the similarly named and built, but not related, Malcom Diaz. Edwin Diaz is a long limbed and lanky 6-foot-3, 175-pound athlete, and at first glance he would appear to be both taller and lighter than that listing. He is extremely loose in his actions and will not need to add strength for the purpose of improving his stuff but rather to improve his endurance and coordination. Diaz throws from a full leg raise, hands over the head delivery that causes plenty of inconsistencies but that are correctable, and they should be fairly easy to correct if Diaz has the physical and mental aptitude to do so. A major issue that Diaz has struggled with is keeping his lead leg and front side mechanics consistent from pitch to pitch as he kicks his leg out at different points and depth on different pitches. His release point will vary from a standard well extended three-quarters to a mid three-quarters , with the expected result that he tends to get under pitches from the lower release point and also has trouble getting his fastball to his glove side (something Berrios also occasionally struggles with). But there is absolutely nothing wrong with Diaz’s arm action, as he is fast and easy and extremely loose and tension free out front. He throws hard without giving the impression of trying to throw hard and is the type of pitcher who warms up between innings at the same velocity he throws to hitters. Diaz’ fastball velocity and command come and go with his mechanics on any particular pitch or sequence of pitches; he’ll touch as high as 97 mph and stay in the mid-90s low in the zone with movement, then be 90-92 and flat in the middle of the plate or up arm side for the next few pitches. Both of Diaz’ off speed pitches flash quality. He throws an upper-70s curveball that has good spin and a deep bite when he’s staying on top of it. He also shows a low-80s changeup with nice life down in the zone at times but doesn’t throw this pitch often; it’s a somewhat unrecognized part of his arsenal that could really develop at the professional level. Diaz’ release point, once he develops consistency , would also be well suited to a slider or cutter, but that is far in his future. The Berrios vs. Diaz debate between scouts basically boils down to taste, whether one likes the more polished, sure thing type of talent (Berrios) or the more projectable, higher ceiling type of talent (Diaz). Tyler Pike Tyler Pike is a 2012 LHP/OF with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Winter Haven, FL who attends Winter Haven HS. Medium build, good lower half strength, bigger than list. Full hands over head delivery, quick arm coming through, high 3/4's release point with very good leverage. Steady 89-91 mph fastball, mostly straight but throws to spots with intent, will come inside. Curveball lacks ideal velocity but has tight spin and some sharpness, big downer shape, poor swings against CB, some developing feel for change up. Maintained stuff, more 91's than 89's, has an advanced idea how to pitch and had an edge to him on the mound.Tyler Pike is a 2012 LHP/OF with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Winter Haven, FL who attends Winter Haven HS.
