Dominican LHP Randy Almonte 17歲 Almonte has a fastball that has been clocked in the high-80s and low-90s. RHP Marcos Frias 18歲 Frias throws a heavy sinker and has a fastball that gets up to 92 mph. Catcher Ricardo Martinez 18歲 Martinez has a strong arm and is considered a good contact hitter. LHP Francisco Vizcaino 18歲 According to director of amateur scouting Dana Brown, the left-handed Vizcaino, 18, has a "good feel for pitching and has a good changeup." Venezuela Catcher Sandy Leon 17歲右投左右開弓 Leon has above-average skills behind the plate. "Being a switch hitter makes Leon more attractive," Rizzo said. "There is not a lot of guys like that running around in the world." Shortstop Adrian Sanchez 16歲右投左右開弓 "He really has good instincts on the field. He has great hands," Rizzo said of Sanchez. "He has an above-average throwing arm. He is very fluid with his actions. He has great range and balance on defense. He has all of the signs of being a premier defensive player. What he needs now is strength like most 16-year-olds." Center fielder Jesus Morales 17歲右投右打 "He is very tools-oriented player," Rizzo said. "He is [more] kind of an unpolished gem than Sandy or Adrian, but he has a very high ceiling, probably as high of a ceiling as any of the four. Morales has an above-average throwing arm and he really has long strides in center field. He swings the bat well. We just have to clean him up a little bit." First baseman Juan Urdaneta 17歲左投左打 "He has a big left-handed swing with power potential," Rizzo said. "If we teach him the finer points of hitting and grows into that 6-foot4 frame, he could be some kind of power hitting prospect for us." 過去的五年當中 Nationals/Expos 受限於預算，不曾簽下一位美加地區外的球員，在新老闆 Lerner 家族支持下，Kasten 與 Bowden 將資源集中在培養新秀身上，回歸從前蒙特婁以農場為基石，打造一隻有實力年年爭冠的強隊。Bowden 的話為目前的方向下了最好的註腳 "We want to be known as the leader in Latin America, with African-Americans, Caucasians, everybody. We want to be diverse. We are being very aggressive." 在這當中最值得注意的是左投 Randy Almonte 與捕手 Sandy Leon。Almonte 身高6呎6吋，有著 above-average 快速球，在這8位當中被認定為最具潛力的未來之星。他跟 Leon、Smiley 已經確定參加在 Viera 春訓。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.247.132.14 ※ 編輯: VaROne 來自: 220.247.132.14 (01/22 17:52)
