[情報] BP top 15 draft prospects
This is not a mock draft. This is a talent ranking.
1. Stephen Strasburg, RHP, San Diego State
The Good: He's arguably the best pitching prospect in draft history, with a
perfect frame and solid mechanics to go with an 80 fastball, 70 command, and
a 60-65 breaking pitch.
The Bad: There's no definitive proof that he's not an android from a faraway
planet bent on world destruction.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: The best pitcher in baseball. It's almost
impossible to see him becoming anything less than an All-Star.
2. Dustin Ackley, OF, North Carolina
The Good: He has the best combination of tools and skills among the position
players, with above-average power and speed, along with amazing hands that
easily project him as a .300 hitter in the big leagues.
The Bad: His throwing arm is poor; he's unproven in center field; he
struggles against lefties with good breaking balls.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An All-Star center fielder with less power
than Grady Sizemore but a better batting average, but there is some chance
that he'll be forced to move to left field.
3. Donavan Tate, OF, Cartersville HS (GA)
The Good: The best athlete in the draft, and the guy with the highest
ceiling. His raw power, speed, and arm are all rated as plus-70 by some
scouts.
The Bad: There are questions about his pure hitting ability; he doesn't
always give you a lot of effort.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A dynamic franchise-level power/speed center
fielder, but it does require a bit of dreaming.
4. Jacob Turner, RHP, Westminster Academy (MO)
The Good: The top high school pitcher in the draft has gotten better
throughout the spring, as he started the year touching 95 mph, and ended it
sitting there while getting up to 98. He's big and projectable, with a clean
delivery and a good curve.
The Bad: His command and control comes and goes at times, and he wants a ton
of cash, which already has several teams passing on him.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A frontline big-league starter.
5. Grant Green, SS, Southern California
The Good: He's a big, athletic shortstop with an excellent approach at the
plate, gap power, and excellent defensive fundamentals. He didn't live up to
expectations this year, but he also played in a pitcher's park against
toughest schedule in college baseball.
The Bad: He doesn't project as a big power threat, and his range is average.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: He won't be a game changer, but he'll be an
everyday shortstop on a championship-level team, and he may be the only such
player in the draft.
6. Tanner Scheppers, RHP, St. Paul Saints
The Good: An unsigned pick from last year (Pirates), he has the best fastball
outside of Strasburg's, with his gas sitting in the mid-90s and touching 98
during indy league starts; he also shows off a plus power curve.
The Bad: He was hampered by shoulder issues last year that remain a bit of a
mystery, as do their diagnosis and his recovery. Some teams (as well as Will
Carroll) believe that picking him is simply asking for trouble.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An overpowering starter, but the risk factor
is very high.
7. Aaron Crow, RHP, Fort Worth Cats
The Good: The best right-handed college arm in last year's draft, he's
throwing as hard as ever in the indy leagues, sitting at 92-95 mph while
touching 97 with his fastball, which also shows excellent sink and run. His
slider is a plus offering.
The Bad: He's not really big and physical, and his command has been a little
rusty this spring.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An above-average major league starter.
8. Mike Leake, RHP, Arizona State
The Good: The most consistent pitcher in college baseball had a lower ERA
than Stephen Strasburg while pitching in a tougher park against much tougher
competition; he throws strikes with three pitches that grade average to plus;
he also has top-line pitchability.
The Bad: He's not tiny, but he's certainly undersized, and he lacks much in
the way of projection.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An above-average starter and occasional
All-Star.
9. Tyler Matzek, LHP, Capistrano Valley HS (CA)
The Good: He has a long, lean, projectable frame as well as a surprisingly
deep arsenal for a high school arm. His fastball and slider already rate as
plus, his curve is solid, and he comes to the pros with some feel for a
changeup. His command is above average.
The Bad: He has some effort in his delivery, and he had some bouts of
inconsistency this year, looking like the best high school pitcher on one
day, and then just another good one the next.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An overpowering left-handed starter.
10. Matt Purke, LHP, Klein HS (TX)
The Good: He's highly similar to Matzek in terms of size and stuff, but
probably throws a bit harder, although he also isn't as polished.
The Bad: He wants a deal in the Rick Porcello range ($7 million), and nobody
thinks he's that kind of talent; he faltered a bit down the stretch.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A star-level left-handed starter.
Backup Plan: He continues to throw hard, but his secondary stuff doesn't
develop, leaving him better suited to late-innings relief work.
11. Zach Wheeler, RHP, East Paulding HS (GA)
The Good: A big, power right-hander, his fastball has been sitting at 92-95
mph all year, and he throws it with excellent command; he also has a strong
frame and very good mechanics.
The Bad: The secondary stuff isn't bad, but it lags behind that of the other
elite high school arms.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: If the slider comes around, he's a frontline
starter.
12. Kyle Gibson, RHP, Missouri
The Good: He's a long 6-foot-6 righty who takes advantages of his angles with
an 88-92 mph fastball with excellent movement. His slider borders on
outstanding, and his changeup is above average, and he pounds the zone with
all three pitches.
The Bad: His secondary stuff is better than the fastball; he was only
throwing 84-88 mph in his last start while suffering from "forearm
tightness"; he's just not overpowering.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A good third starter.
13. Shelby Miller, RHP, Brownwood HS (TX)
The Good: He's that classic big and strong Texas-based prep right-hander,
with a fastball that consistently gets up to 97 mph, and he has a nasty mound
demeanor to boot. His arm action is clean, and he gets tremendous leverage
from his power frame.
The Bad: He's more of a thrower than a pitcher right now, his curveball is
inconsistent, and his changeup is rarely seen.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A dominating power arm, but if the secondary
stuff never catches up to the velocity, he could end up as a one-pitch guy.
14. Alex White, RHP, University of North Carolina
The Good: A power arm who sits in the low 90s and can dial his heat up to 96
mph; he complements that with a splitter that's an outstanding offering that
drops off the table; he's an excellent athlete.
The Bad: White really struggled down the stretch; his fastball can run very
true; scouts aren't sure what to do with fastball/splitter types.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: A good starting pitcher, but some think he's
got a relief-style arsenal.
15. Bobby Borchering, 3B, Bishop Verot HS (FL)
The Good: The fastest-rising high school position player now ranks as the
best one on many boards; he offers plus power from both sides of the plate to
go with excellent hand/eye coordination that should allow him to hit for a
high average as well. His arm is a plus tool.
The Bad: He's not a great athlete, but he's good enough to make the plays at
third base.
In A Perfect World He Becomes: An All-Star at the hot corner, but more for
his bat than his glove. If he moves to first, it will be a more difficult
road.
