Lucas Giolito, rhp (#4) 今年從2A起步的 Giolito 季初狀況不佳, 所幸在5月下旬就成功找回自己的投球節奏, 目前他仍有成長的空間, 特別是command需要再持續磨練. 2. Trea Turner, ss (#5) 今年除了游擊還守過二壘和中外野, 已經準備好用他的棒子為球隊做出貢獻. 3. Victor Robles, of (#13) 繼去年的爆發之後, 迎接生涯首次完整球季的 Robles 仍持續向前邁進. 具備5-tools潛力的 Robles 今年5月才滿19歲, 在球場上各方面都展現出與他的年齡不相襯的優異表現, 關於職業賽事的諸多細節 Robles 還有很多地方要學, 但他已經證明自己是個進步神速的學習者. 4. Reynaldo Lopez, rhp (#48) 論今年前三個月的表現可說是 Eastern League 最佳投手之一, 在76又1/3局就三振了100名打者, K/9值也創下生涯新高, 關鍵在於投球機制的穩定性和快速球的command 這兩項 Lopez 今年做得又更好. 5. Erick Fedde, rhp (#61) 從 Tommy John 手術復出後的 Fedde 在 command 方面有所改善, (一般而言, 對一個動過手術的投手來說, command 往往是最難調整回來的) 並且持續磨練他的變速球, 搭配高於平均水準的速球和滑球. 6. A.J. Cole, rhp 隨著時間進展, Cole也不斷地在穩定進步當中, 在休賽季 Cole 增加了10磅的肌肉, 這有助於維持他的球速, 下半季有機會看到 Cole 出現在大聯盟. 7. Wilmer Difo, ss 跟往年比較不一樣的是今年完全只守游擊, 在防守腳步和臂力方面是有進步的, 儘管 OPS 比往年差, 但從進階數據上來看打擊方面仍十分穩定, 速度方面也不容小覷. 8. Andrew Stevenson, of 和 Robles 一樣, 今年是 Stevenson 生涯第一個完整球季, 季初從高階1A出發, 並且在68比賽中繳出 .304/.359/.418, 隨後被提拔上2A, 儘管沒辦法擊出很多全壘打, 但 Stevenson 已經展現出不錯的 gap power 能力. 9. Austin Voth, rhp Voth 從來不是什麼備受注目的新秀, 但他這幾年一直穩定地在小聯盟爬升, 如今已成為3A的固定先發輪值, 持續地把球丟進好球帶並利用他出色的球感來製造出局數. 10. Drew Ward, 3b 今年從高階1A起步, 在打擊方面表現出色, 並擊出了生涯新高的11轟, 守備方面仍有待加強, 給他更多時間看有沒有機會能留在三壘. RISING Righthander Koda Glover has shot through the system, reaching Syracuse by the end of June. He throws from a steep downhill angle thanks to his 6-foot-5 frame and relies mostly on his fastball-slider combination. He could be in the big leagues by the end of the year, and could throw high-leverage innings for the Nationals in time. . . . Second baseman Max Schrock has also gotten off to a solid start to his professional career, hitting .326/.381/.459 with Hagerstown before getting promoted to Potomac in late June. While he has seen some time at shortstop, he profiles well at second base. . . . Outfielder Juan Soto was the Nationals’ biggest signing on the international market last year. Soto skipped over the Dominican Summer League, instead starting his professional career in the Gulf Coast League. Before the GCL opened, he excelled in extended spring training, showing off above-average bat speed and an advanced feel at the plate. FALLING Shortstop Osvaldo Abreu has not built on a strong 2015 performance as he advanced to Potomac. The improved discipline he showed last year has remained, but he isn’t driving the ball as well, and his power numbers have suffered as a result. . . . Righthander Austen Williams has been slow to adjust after being promoted to Harrisburg. His sinker hasn’t been quite as effective, and he is getting hit more than he had been at the lower levels. HURTING Bothered by back soreness, third baseman Anderson Franco has not yet played this season. The Nationals have worked with him to strengthen his core and hope he will be able to return to action soon. . . . Lefthander Taylor Hearn started his first full professional season with Hagerstown, but soon landed on the disabled list when he broke his foot while covering first base. He spent the rest of the first half recovering, but completed his rehab and was set to return to Hagerstown in early July. GRADUATING After battling injuries at the outset of his career, lefthander Sammy Solis, a second round pick in 2010, has found a role in the Nationals bullpen. He was one of the team’s best relievers since being recalled in late April, and has been more than a lefthanded specialist, often throwing multiple innings in relief. COMING ABOARD (Check Draft Database for all picks) The Nationals’ first five picks of the 2016 draft. (s-supplemental round) 1. Carter Kieboom, ss, Walton HS, Marietta, Ga. The younger brother of Nationals farmhand Spencer Kieboom, Carter Kieboom stood out as one of the best prep hitters in the draft class. He consistently finds a way to barrel balls and should grow into average power. His athleticism should allow him to remain at shortstop. 1. Dane Dunning, rhp, Florida. While Dunning would have been a Friday starter for most teams in the country, the depth of Florida’s pitching staff gave the Gators the luxury of using him primarily in relief this spring. He’ll be a starter in pro ball, however. He fills up the strike zone with his mix of a low-90s fastball, changeup and slider. 2. Sheldon Neuse, 3b, Oklahoma. A shortstop/closer at Oklahoma, Neuse will give up pitching and slide over to third base in the minor leagues. He has the powerful bat and arm strength to profile at the hot corner if he can find a consistent approach at the plate. 3. Jesus Luzardo, lhp, Douglas HS, Parkland, Fla. Luzardo was generating early buzz this spring before he was injured and had Tommy John surgery in March. The Nationals have an extensive history of helping pitchers come back from surgery and, if they can help Luzardo recover as they did with Stephen Strasburg and Lucas Giolito, they will get another premium pitcher, who ran his fastball up to 97 mph early this spring. 4. Nick Banks, of, Texas A&M. A two-time member of USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team, Banks’ performance slipped this spring at Texas A&M. He profiles best as a right fielder, where his power and arm strength will play well, but he’ll need to cut down on his swing-and-miss. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.44.13 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Nationals/M.1469232093.A.68C.html ※ 編輯: s9527206 (36.231.44.13), 07/23/2016 08:05:11
