Graham Stoneburner | RHP Background Stoneburner grew up in Richmond, Virginia, not far from the talent hotbed that produced players like Ryan Zimmerman, David Wright, Justin Verlander, and The Uptons in recent years. He lettered in baseball all four years at Mills E. Godwin High School, though he didn’t explode onto the prospect scene until his junior year, when he posted a 0.21 ERA with 74 strikeouts in just 43 innings, not to mention three homers and a .313 batting average. Stoneburner was named First Team All-Metro and Second Team All-District as a junior, and was expected to garner consideration for the top two rounds of the 2006 draft with a strong senior season. Stoneburner 在Richmond, Virginia 這長大，離孕育許多好手的地方不遠像是Ryan Zimmerman, David Wright, Justin Verlander,and The Uptons 雖然在Mills E. Godwin打了四年棒球，但到了三年級時才受到注意，因為他在43局中交出了0.21的ERA 74K 同時轟了三發全壘打，並有0.313的打擊率 2006年時被期待是前兩輪的新秀。 Stoneburner never got a chance to pitch as a senior, because a stress fracture in his back kept him off the mound and ultimately off draft boards. No one took a chance on a pitcher with a fractured vertebra even though Baseball America ranked him as the 71st best draft prospect in the nation, so Stoneburner followed through on his commitment to Clemson. Expected to compete for a weekend rotation spot as a freshman, Stoneburner tore his ACL during a January workout and had to take a medical redshirt. 因為背部的骨折使他最後一年無法投球，最後也消失帶選秀清單上即使被Baseball America 評定他為第71優秀的新秀，不會有人給一個背脊受傷的人機會而他完成他的承諾念了Clemson大學，第一年被期待能填補周末的輪值但在練習時傷了前十字韌帶，所以必須接受手術暫時中斷運動生涯。 Finally healthy, Stoneburner was able to take the mound and pitch competitively for the first time in almost two years as a redshirt freshman in 2008. He led the Tigers in starts (14, he also made two relief appearances) and wins (6) despite a 5.55 ERA and allowing 78 hits and 21 walks in 71.1 innings, with just 52 strikeouts. Stoneburner two-hit N.C. State early in the season for Clemson’s first complete game shutout in four years, and was named ACC Pitcher of the Week for his effort. After the season, Stoneburner headed to the prestigious Cape Cod League for the summer, where he put up a 2.93 ERA and a 30-12 K/BB ratio in 30.2 innings covering seven starts for the Hyannis Mets. 2008年健康歸來後終於有機會在休息近兩年後上場投球，14次先發2次中繼中成績是 71.1局5.55ERA 被敲78支安打 21次保送 52K 球季初期對北卡州大交出2安打完封的佳績，獲選當周最棒投手之後夏天前往富盛名的Cape Cod League，七次先發30.2局中 ERA 2.93 30K 12BB Following his strong showing on the Cape, Baseball America ranked Stoneburner as the 58th best college prospect overall for the 2009 draft, and many expected him to be one of the Tigers’ top starters as a redshirt sophomore. Instead, he bounced back and forth between the rotation and bullpen on a deep staff that featured 13 pitchers with sub-4.00 ERA’s. In seven starts and 13 relief appearances, Stoneburner struck out 71 and walked just 19 in 64 innings, good for a 3.52 ERA and a team leading seven wins. He appeared in two of the team’s six postseason games, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings of relief against Tennessee Tech to get a win in the Regionals, then taking the loss after allowing three runs in two innings of relief against Arizona State in the Super Regionals. Clemson’s season ended with a loss the next day. 因為此傑出的表現，BA評估他在2009年的大學新秀中第58名，傷癒歸來的他被期許為隊上的最優秀投手之一，而隊伍裡有13位投手，平均防禦率略低於4 季中先發兩頭跑的他64局裡 71K 19BB 3.52ERA 並有最多的七勝隊伍季後賽他出場兩次，中繼4.2局無失分，但在對決Arizona時2局失三分吞敗隊伍隔天又輸球也因此打包回家了。 Baseball America ranked Stoneburner as the the seventh best prospect in the state and 180th best prospect overall just before the draft. Because he had added leverage as a draft-eligible sophomore (even as a redshirt), Stoneburner fell to the 14th round of the 2009 draft, at which point the Yankees made him the 435th overall pick with their 13th selection. He didn’t agree to a deal until the day before the August 17th signing deadline, when signing deadline, when he received a well-above slot $675,000 bonus. Pro Debut Stoneburner appeared in just one game after signing late, allowing one hit while striking out two in a one inning stint with Short Season Staten Island in early September. He participated in Fall Instructional League after the season, where he reportedly turned lots of heads with his showing. BA評定他為state上第七佳的投手，選秀前總順位應該是第180位，因受過傷原因使他在在第13輪 435位被洋基選中，簽約截止前他才決定來洋基簽約後的九月只上場了一次，1局 1K 被打一支安打，之後參加秋季聯盟他的表現贏得許多注目的眼光 Scouting Report Despite being somewhat undersized at 6′-1〃 and 190 lbs, Stoneburner offers premium arm strength and life on his fastball. He’s shown the ability to sit at 94 with boring action in on righties with his heater, and can ramp it up even more when working in relief. His two secondary pitches – slider and a straight change – are average at best, though the changeup shows potential of being better. The biggest problem is consistency, as Stoneburner will pound the bottom of the zone relentlessly one day, then struggle to put the ball over the plate the next. After losing two crucial years of development due to injury, it’s just a matter of getting reps with pro instruction. Stoneburner’s delivery is simple, easy to repeat, and somewhat deliberate, which bodes well for future arm health. The arm action is just a bit long in the back, which will always hinder his command somewhat, but nothing extreme. He’s a very good athlete who ran track all throughout high school, and it allows him to field his position well and make adjustments mid-game. Other nuances like holding runners are things that will improve with experience. You can see Stoneburner’s scouting video here. 即使個子不高大他的手臂強度與球速都非常傑出，速球可上94mile，中繼可以更快而slider與changeup則最多僅有普通水準，不過changeup有機會更好些而他最大問題在穩定性，可能今天投球偏低，結果隔天又突然偏高在因傷兩年未投球後，接受職業的指導是相當重要的他的投球顯得簡單從容不迫，球從背後往前投出這動作有點長，這讓他或多或少妨礙了他的command，不過尚不嚴重，高中時是個常跑步的運動員這使他能在這位置上表現更好 2010 Outlook Depending on what the Yankees long-term plan is for Stoneburner, they could opt to send him to Low-A Charleston to work as a starter, or be aggressive and have him work in relief with High-A Tampa. If they do the latter, a David Robertson-like ascent up the ladder isn’t out of the question. My Take I remember Stoneburner from the 2006 draft, when he was rail-thin and sitting high-80′s with his fastball. He was an interesting guy to keep an eye on until the back injury knocked him out, however he added some weight and picked up some big time velocity in college and became an impressive prospect. Stoneburner has one of the best pure arms from the Yanks’ most recent draft haul, if not the best. Had he been about four inches taller, he would have garnered much more early round consideration. He doesn’t quite have the arm slot for it, but there’s a chance the Yanks’ will tinker with it and try to teach him a Nardi Contreras curveball. If he picks that up to give him a second pitch he’s comfortable throwing at any time in any count, then holy cow, who knows how good he could be. You can’t teach arm strength, folks. 洋基對他的展望是在2010年送他去LOW-A培養他當先發，或者積極一點送他去High-A 當中繼，如果是後者，類似David Robertson的方式一路向上升不是問題 2006年的他給人的印象是瘦小且球速僅有80+，受傷前滿令人感興趣的不過之後增重且增加了球速使他成為令人印象深刻的新秀，他的手臂在洋基農場近幾年的新秀中相對而言是比較健康的，如果能在高個四吋，選秀順位或許會更前面洋基會試著調整他的arm slot，讓他學曲球，如果他能掌握得好，未來將有無限可能。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.225.165.134
