Prospect Notes: Carter Capps and Stephen Pryor, Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have recently promoted a pair of prospect right-handers
to the major leagues, Carter Capps and Stephen Pryor. Can either of these
guys be future closers? Let's take a look.
Carter Capps, RHP: It took Capps slightly more than a year to reach the major
leagues. Drafted out of Mount Olive College in North Carolina last June as a
third round pick, Capps began 2012 in Double-A, posting a 1.26 ERA with a
72/12 K/BB in 50 innings for Jackson, allowing just 40 hits and picking up 19
saves. He got into one game for Triple-A Tacoma, fanning three of the four
men he faced, then found himself in the majors.
Capps is a 6-5, 220 pound right-hander, born August 7th, 1990 (happy
birthday). He threw in the low-90s as a starter in college, but as a reliever
in the pros he works in the mid-to-upper-90s, touching 100. He has a good
slider and changeup, and his command has been excellent in the minors. If he
maintains his command, I don't see any reason why he can't close games
eventually. His personality is reportedly suited for it, he throws hard,
throws strikes, and profiles well both sabermetrically and subjectively.
Stephen Pryor, RHP: Pryor was drafted by the Mariners in the fifth round in
2010 from Tennessee Tech. Bothered by elbow problems early in 2011, he posted
a 7.67 ERA in 27 innings for High-A High Desert, but improved as the season
progressed and finished on a positive note for Double-A Jackson, with a 1.19
ERA and a 27/7 K/BB in 23 innings. In 2012, he's pitched three innings at
High Desert, 16 at Jackson, and 20 with Triple-A Tacoma, combining for a 0.93
ERA and a 47/19 K/BB in 39 innings, allowing a mere 18 hits. He picked up 10
saves. So far in the majors, he's got an 11/3 K/BB in eight innings with a
1.13 ERA.
Like Capps, Pryor is a physical right-hander at 6-4, 245, born July 23, 1989.
His fastball is very fast in the mid-to-upper-90s, topping out at 100. The
fastball has tremendous movement along with the premium velocity. His
breaking ball has been described variously as a hard curve or a slider and is
also a plus pitch. His command was inconsistent in the minors, but he clearly
has closer-quality stuff and can succeed even when his control is less than
perfect.
Given that Pryor is a year older than Capps, he should get first-dibs at the
closer job, but both of them have that potential.
I had both of them rated as Grade C+ prospects pre-season. Depending on how
you value relief/closer prospects, they would both be in the very strong B or
the Grade B+ range at this point.

內容不難,大意其實就一句話:兩個都有當closer的能力XD
