Scouting Reports on Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel
兩個印度人的球探報告

We’ve been following the saga of Dinesh Patel and Rinku Singh since they won
the Million Dollar Arm contest. Since they just signed with the Bucs, we
though it would be useful to readers to get some information on the players
and their attributes, so here’s a brief write up to get to know the players
some. Keep in mind our opinions stem from scouting videos. Not live looks.
Dinesh Patel, RHP, 5′10/185
Aaron: Definitely the more polished of the two. Strong upper body, but the
legs are a little thin. Throws from the stretch and starts in a crouched
position. Nice tempo — quick, but not hurried. Leg comes in high and he’s
very aggressive to the plate. Call it a 3/4 arm angle. Has a very smooth and
natural-looking delivery for someone who had never played baseball before
last year.
Fastball is 84-85 and touches 87 with some tail down and in on right-handed
batters, showing occasional sink. Delivery looks repeatable, but his release
point is a little inconsistent, which will create command issues until he
sorts it out. Due to his lack of height, he doesn’t get great plane but nice
movement on the fastball can compensate for it. The ball doesn’t come out of
his hand as easily as I’d like, but I he gets good extension on his
follow-through. Nice aggressive finish.
Slider is 77-79. Doesn’t always get a lot of depth, but, again, like
everything else with both these players, you have to remember Patel has been
playing baseball for a friggin’ year. With that in mind the slider looks
like it has the possibility of developing into a useful secondary pitch.
He looks polished and I find that somewhat shocking. It’s difficult to
project what Patel might become or if he’s got the talent to be a pitcher in
the majors, but I will say I don’t think this is some gimick signing.
There’s something there.
Rinku Singh, LHP, 6′2, 185 lbs.
Jackson: Ringku Singh is clearly the less polished of the two prospects and
is more of a project, likely a more boom-or-bust type pitcher than his
counterpart Dinesh Patel. He has poor command at this point and gives his
bullpen catcher headaches, frequently losing his grip on the ball and
struggling to find his form.
However, at 6’2 185, the ceiling is there and he’s clearly an athlete. He’
s got long arms and legs, a nice, strong high leg kick and overall shows
strength and flexibility in his unpolished delivery. He throws from a ¾ arm
slot, bringing his arm way down below his waist and then letting go with a
sort of catapault-like delivery where he pushes the ball a bit. He struggles
to repeat his form, especially with the lower half, and his follow through
needs a lot of work. His arm speed is average at best and he relies on
leverage to generate velocity.
Singh’s FB comes in 79-83 MPH, with a slow moving curve that ranges from
67-72. He currently lacks a real feel for the breaking pitch and his curve
has little bite to it.
