http://riveraveblues.com/2010/10/prospect-profile-cito-culver-37490/ Cito Culver | SS Background Born and raised in Rochester, Culver (whose real name is Christopher) starred both on the mound and in the field at Irondequoit High School. He was named All-Monroe County all four years of high school, and was named regional Player of the Year as a senior, when he hit .561. He hit two grands slams in the same game this April, one from each side of the plate. Pretty cool. The Yankees selected Culver with their first round pick, #32 overall, making him the first position player ever to be drafted out of the Rochester area in the first round. It was perhaps two full rounds earlier than where most pre-draft projections had him going. Culver signed as soon as he graduated high school (less than two weeks after the draft) for a $954,000 bonus, exactly slot money for that pick. Culver(真名是Christopher)在Rochester出生長大，在高中時身兼投手與內野手高中的最後一年交出了0.561的打擊率四月份的一場比賽裡轟了兩發滿貫分別從左打與右打打出的，這使他被選為當地的年度球員洋基在第一輪32th選中了他，使他成為當地第一位在第一輪被選中的球員似乎比一般預測早了兩輪，選秀後不到兩個禮拜即與洋基簽約，954000的簽約金對於這選秀乎有些豪賭 Culver’s father, Chris Sr., is currently in prison for arson (and two other charges) after burning the family house down in March 2008. He was sentenced to a maximum of nine years, and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. You can read more about that and how it impacted Cito in this great Wayne Coffey piece. 他的父親因為放火燒了自己的家外加兩項罪名在服刑中，刑期九年並且被診斷出有躁鬱症 Pro Debut Culver was assigned to the Yankees’ rookie level affiliate in the Gulf Coast League after signing, where he hit .269/.320/.363 with seven doubles and two homers in 179 plate appearances, stealing six bases in nine tries. He was rewarded with a late season promotion to Short Season Staten Island, where he hit just .186/.340/.209 in 54 measly plate appearances. It was a solid test for a kid that didn’t turn 18-years-old until late August, and he did well considering his lack of experience against top shelf competition in high school. 與洋基簽約後，在Gulf Coast League 的179個打數裡，打擊三圍是.269/.320/.363 2支二壘安打與兩發全壘打，九次嘗試盜壘成功了六次，季末升到Staten Island 在小樣本的54的打席，打擊三圍是.186/.340/.209，對於一個八月才滿18的孩子來說這是個可靠的測試，考量到他缺乏在高階聯盟競爭的經驗，他打的不錯。 Scouting Report A bonafide long-term shortstop through and through, Culver flashes strong range, hands and instincts in combination with his cannon arm, one that unleashed low-90′s fastballs from the mound. His outstanding athletic ability allows him to make up for any mistakes, which should decrease in number with more experience. At 6-foot-0 and 185 lbs., there are no concerns that he will outgrow the position. Cito’s bat lags behind his defense right now, but he’s a switch-hitter with good bat speed and enough pop to keep pitchers honest. His plate discipline is strong and improving, so he should take enough walks to post better than average on-base percentages in the future. Culver is quick enough to steal bases but needs to improve his basestealing instincts overall. His game is still rather raw unrefined at this point, which is not uncommon with high school prospects from cold weather states. 他是位天生的游擊手，range大且移動快速，投球時球速可以上90-mph，他傑出的運動能力使他即使不小心失誤也有辦法即使彌補，隨著經驗累積這種情況會日益減少，6呎身高185磅，目前不會有長成龐然大物無法守游擊的疑慮他的打擊目前還不如守備那樣好，左右開弓，揮棒快速使他能和投手纏鬥選球很棒且持續進步，未來上壘率會更好，有盜壘能力，但在研判上仍需加強對於一個來自寒冷地區的高中生，有這樣不成熟的表現非常普通。 Much has been made of Culver’s background with regards to his father, but the Yankees watching him plenty and got a good read on his makeup. “I don’t know how a kid recovers from what he went through,” said area scout Tim Alexander, the man in charge with keeping an eye on Culver. “The field is where he gets away. It’s almost where everything makes a lot of sense.” “Nobody I can think of since I’ve been doing this has been through this kind of adversity, and come through it in such a positive way, with so much character and integrity,” said scouting director Damon Oppenheimer. “Minor league baseball is full of failure. You always wonder how people will handle it. Cito has dealt with bigger things than going 0-for-4 already in his life. ” Obviously the Yankees are impressed by how he’s dealt with the adversity. 很多人會在意他的家庭問題，但洋基看了許多他的比賽 "我不知道這孩子要怎麼從這種傷痛走出" "或許球場是他逃離這一切之處" 長期觀察他的球探Tim Alexander說 "打從我當球探以來，我想不到有人在歷經這樣打擊後，能如此正面的走出" "小聯盟裡充滿挫折，你總會想人們要怎麼處理這些挫敗，Cito處理得很好他沒有讓他的人生四打數零安黯然退場" 球探 Damon 說顯然洋基隊於他能面對這些逆境感到印象深刻。 Here’s a video interview with Culver taken after the draft, and here’s a clip of him on the mound. 2011 Outlook Culver can handle the jump into full season ball defensively, but the bat might not be there yet. The Yankees could choose to hold him back in Extended Spring Training to start the season before giving him a return ticket to Staten Island in the second half. That’s probably the best route for Culver; he might not be physically ready for the full season grind of the Low-A South Atlantic League. Remember, they held Slade Heathcott back last year, and he was more advanced both physically and baseball-wise than Cito. Culver在防守上可以應付整季的比賽了，但他的棒子還沒準備好在送他去Staten Island之前，洋基可以先讓他在延長春訓中多磨練，這或許對她來說比較好，現在的他身體素質還不夠應付整季的Low-A Slade Heathcott去年就在South Atlantic聯盟度過，他在身體素質與球技上目前都比Cito好 My Take I was surprised by the pick like everyone else, but that doesn’t mean it was bad. The Yankees had scouted Culver more than anyone else and certainly liked him, enough that they didn’t want to risk having him come off the board between their first and second round picks. There were definitely sexier names left on the board, but a premium up-the-middle athlete is always a good gamble to take. The Yanks clearly went for upside in this draft, and Culver offers plenty. Don’t expect a quick mover though, he’s a bit of a project and will need at least a year at each level. 就像許多人的反應，洋基在第一輪選他很令人驚訝，但這不表示一定是不好洋基比其他人觀察的多，也很喜歡他，所以不想冒險之後才選他當然洋基可以選令人感興趣的一些球員，但選一個優秀但尚未成長的球員是個不錯的賭注洋基挑選Culver可說是低順位裡挑了個好球員，他的表現也很棒他在每個階層都需要至少一年的試煉，不需太操之過急。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.217.23.164
