[BA] 2005 Top 4 Prospect: Clint Everts
4. CLINT EVERTS, rhp Age: 20 B-T: R-R Ht: 6-2 Wt: 170
Drafted: HS⑧ouston, 2002 (1st round) Signed by: Ray Corbett
Background:
The No. 1 prospect in the system in 2003 and 2004, Everts still has the
highest ceiling of any player in the organization. But his velocity dropped
to 84-88 mph last season before it turned out he blew out his elbow and
needed Tommy John surgery. He歓l miss all of 2005.
Strengths:
Without a good fastball, Everts still posted excellent numbers and earned
a berth in the Futures Game, played in his hometown of Houston, by relying
heavily upon his curveball and changeup, which are both plus-plus pitches.
He worked at 88-92 mph and touched 94 with his fastball before his elbow
problems. His command and feel for pitching make his stuff that much tougher.
Weaknesses:
Everts looked like a sure thing before he got hurt. Though the track record
for comebacks from Tommy John surgery is good, he still has a long road ahead
of him. He can focus on adding strength to his lean upper body during his
rehabilitation.
The Future:
If he can regain his health, Everts still can develop into a frontline big
league starter. The plan is for him to be throwing by the end of 2005 and to
take the mound again in 2006.
