[農場] Yankees Prospects: No. 11 David Phelps
Date of Birth: October 9, 1986 in St. Louis, Missouri
Height/Weight: 6'3", 190 pounds
Position: Starting Pitcher
Throws: Right
David Phelps was selected by the Yankees in the 14th round of the 2008 MLB
June Amateur Draft. He went undrafted out of high school due to a strong
commitment to Notre Dame, despite being ranked the number six prospect in
Missouri coming out of high school.
An outstanding sophomore season put him on the radar as a potential high
draft choice, but he struggled during his junior year with a 4.65 ERA in 93
innings. After his junior season, he declared for the draft, and Baseball
America predicted him to go in the first eight rounds. Despite this, he
lasted untilt he 14th round, when the Yankees drafted and signed him to a
$150,000 bonus, the most a player drafted outside the 5th round can receive
without MLB's approval.
洋基在2008年第14輪選中了他,儘管曾被評選為來自Missouri第六佳的新秀
因為承諾去念大學而未參加選秀。
大學第二年亮眼的成績使他有可能成為選秀中的高順位,但是大三那年的成績
卻不盡理想 93局 4.65ERA。
大三後宣布參加選秀,BA預測他將在前八輪被挑走,儘管如此,一直到第14輪
才被洋基以150000 簽下,在超過五輪後,這是一位選手可以不必經由MLB同意
所拿到最多的。
Star-divide
Pro Career: Phelps has been very successful throughout his minor leage
career. He has been great at every stop, with his highest ERA never going
above 3.10. For his career, he owns a 2.62 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, a 7.4 K/9, and a
very solid 2.0 BB/9.
After his 2010 season, when he went a combined 10-2 with 158.2 innings
pitched, a 2.50 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, an 8.0 K/9 and a 2.0 BB/9 at AA Trenton and
AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Phelps was named the Yankees' minor league pitcher
of the year. Following the year, he was tabbed by Baseball America as having
the "Best Slider" in the Yankees' organization.
Phelps整個小聯盟成績非常優秀,每個層級表現都十分好,他的ERA從未超過3.10
目前生涯表現 2.62ERA 1.17 WHIP 7.4K/9 很棒的 2.0BB/9
2010年,AAA及AA的整體表現 10W-2L 158.2innings 2.50ERA 1.10 WHIP 8.0 K/9
2.0 BB/9,是洋基小聯盟的年度投手,年後,BA評比他的滑球是洋基小聯盟裡最好的
Scouting Report: Per Mike Axisa:
Phelps has come a long way since high school. Once a scrawny kid that
would sit in the low-90′s on a good day, Phelps has filled out his 6-foot-3
frame (190 lbs.) and now throws his fastball at 93-95 mph consistently. Minor
league pitching coordinator Nardi Contreras made some minor adjustments soon
after Phelps signed, leading to the improved velocity. He also throws a
two-seam fastball right around 90 mph, a good curveball, and both a below
average slider and changeup. The curve is the closest thing Phelps has to a
strikeout pitch, but it still needs some more improvement. At the moment he’
s a ground ball pitcher, but that can change if one of the off-speed pitches
takes that step forward.
Although his secondary stuff is good but not great, it all plays up
because Phelps has very strong control and pounds the bottom of the zone. His
delivery is very simply and easily repeated, which bodes well for future
command and health. He’s already demonstrated the ability to be a workhorse,
logging no fewer than 151 innings in each of the last three seasons.
從高中畢業後,他的棒球生涯也走了很長一段路了。曾經瘦小、狀況好能上 low-90
的他,現在已經是6"3 190 lbs,速球可以經常到達93-95 mph
小聯盟的教練曾對他做些微調,這讓他球速更快了些。
他可以丟90 mph的二縫線,不錯的曲球,滑球及變速球則低於平均水準。
曲球是他用來三振的最大武器,但仍需進步。目前他是個滾地球型投手
不過如果變化球發展的好可以改變這型態。
雖然他的第二球種不錯,但不夠好。control優秀且將球壓低使的他可以困擾打者
他的delivery輕鬆簡單且固定,這表示未來他會有很棒command且不易受傷
目前在每個層級的吃局數都未曾低於151局過,他已經證明了他有成為工作馬的能力
I thought it was interesting that Axisa said Phelps' slider is below average,
while Baseball America named it the best in the system. Perhaps this is more
of a testament to the lack of a true plus slider within the organization.
Despite his lack of a true strikeout pitch, Phelps uses five pitches. His
strong command and ability to keep the ball down in the zone, along with a
93-95 mph fastball, enables him to strike batters out.
Axisa認為他的滑球低於平均,但是BA卻認為他的滑球是洋基整個農場裡最好的
這或許是因為整個農場缺少一個真正有頂級滑球的投手
儘管他沒有真正有效用來三振的球種,他目前擁有五種球路。
優秀的command使他可以將球壓低,配上92-95的速球,仍然可以讓他三振打者。
Estimated Time of Arrival: 2011. Phelps is as ready as he's going to be. He's
logged the innings, performed well at every stop, and if or when an injury
occurs, Phelps could be one of the first called up.
If he does not arrive in 2011, I would expect him to be traded. He is a bit
old for AAA (because he spent three years in college) and with age comes the
loss of prospect status. He will also eligible for the Rule 5 Draft if the
Yankees do not add him to the 40-man roster after the end of the season, so
decisions will have to be made about his future with the Yankees.
Overall, Phelps is a quality prospect that should contribute to the major
league club or be packaged in a trade, "very, very soon."
Special thanks to Mike Axisa and his full report (link above) in helping me
write this prospect profile.
Phelps目前已經準備好了,在更層級表現優秀,投球局數也夠。如果有選手受傷
他應該是第一個被叫上來的。
如果2011年還沒上大聯盟,那麼他可能會被交易。
因為念了三年大學,他的年紀對於AAA來說也有點大了。
季末如果不在40人名單,他將符合 Rule 5 選秀,他和洋基的未來將在這時做出決定。
總而言之,Phelps是個升上大聯盟或當作交易包裹都不錯的新秀
