Four More:
12. Destin Hood, OF: This big outfielder remains high on upside, but raw with
the bat.
13. Justin Maxwell, OF: A toolsy outfielder, Maxwell has plenty of secondary
skills, but he's 26, and he might never hit for average.
14. Brad Meyers, RHP: He’s a command and control righty who is very good at
what he does, but his ceiling ends at a back-end starter.
15. J.R. Higley, OF: Higley certainly passes the scouting sniff test, but
will he hit?
1. Stephen Strasburg, RHP
DOB: 7/20/88
Height/Weight: 6-4/220
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 1st round, 2009, San Diego State University
2009 Stats: Did not play
Last Year’s Ranking: Did not qualify
Year in Review: The top player in the 2009 draft lived up to every
expectation before signing a record deal as the top pick.
The Good: Strasburg's talent is historic. His fastball sits at 95-98 mph,
touches triple digits regularly, and features the pinpoint accuracy of a
top-notch finesse pitcher. His power breaking ball is a plus-plus offering
that can be an absolute wipeout offering when it's on, and even his changeup
is above average with excellent depth and fade. He's a big, physical pitcher
who maintains his velocity all night.
The Bad: He's a perfectly sized righty with pitches that rate as an 80,
70-plus, and 60 on the 20-to-80 scouting scale to go along with plus-plus
command and control, so it's really hard to criticize any aspect of his game.
There are some minor makeup concerns, as he has seemed overwhelmed at times,
if not downright uncomfortable with the media spotlight that his talent has
generated.
Ephemera: Strasburg's final college numbers: 243 1/3 innings, 144 hits, 50
walks, 375 strikeouts.
Perfect World Projection: He has absolute ace potential and could be a
perennial Cy Young contender. He could be the best pitcher in baseball for
many years if everything breaks right.
Path to the Big Leagues: He's the best pitcher in the entire Washington
organization right now.
Timetable: With much talk just about when Strasburg will reach the majors,
the best bet might be a path similar to Mark Prior's first year, when he made
nine minor-league starts before arriving in the big leagues in late May.
2. Derek Norris, C
DOB: 2/14/89
Height/Weight: 6-0/210
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 4th round, 2007, Goddard HS (KS)
2009 Stats: .286/.413/.513 at Low-A (126 G)
Last Year’s Ranking: 4
