http://baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=9988 Five-Star Prospects 1. Aroldis Chapman, LHP Four-Star Prospects 2. Mike Leake, RHP 3. Todd Frazier, INF Three-Star Prospects 4. Yonder Alonso, 1B 5. Travis Wood, LHP 6. Chris Heisey, OF 7. Brad Boxberger, RHP 8. Juan Francisco, 3B 9. Yorman Rodriguez, OF 10. Billy Hamilton, SS Two-Star Prospects 11. Miguel Rojas, SS Four More: 12. Matt Maloney, LHP: A pure finesse lefty, Maloney is exceptionally good at his craft, but his ceiling is a fifth starter. 13. Zach Cozart, SS: Cozart is a plus defender at shortstop with surprising pop, but his pure hitting skills are lacking. 14. Mariekson Gregorius, SS: This Dutch import has solid tools across the board, and he impressed scouts in the Pioneer League. 15. Juan Duran, OF: He has crazy tools, but to call him raw doesn't really do the concept justice. 1. Aroldis Chapman, LHP DOB: 2/28/88 Height/Weight: 6-4/185 Bats/Throws: L/L Drafted/Signed: Cuba, 2010 2009 Stats: Did not play Last Year’s Ranking: Did not qualify Year in Review: The story of the year on the international signing front, Chapman was attached to all the big-name teams throughout the winter before pulling a rabbit out of his hat and signing a back-loaded deal that could be worth over $30 million dollars. The Good: Chapman became the best left-handed prospect in the game the second he signed, as few pitchers, regardless of handedness, can match him on a pure stuff level. His fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s, touches 98 mph, and scouts have even seen him get to triple digits at times. His low-80s slider features two-plane break, and it's an easy plus offering when he controls it well. He's a long, loose athlete with a smooth delivery. He has maintained his velocity deep into games in limited looks. The Bad: Despite some reports to the contrary, Chapman is not big-league ready. His command and control are highly inconsistent, and he has a tendency to overthrow. Scouts have rarely seen an off-speed pitch to even put a grade on one. Ephemera: Chapman was born in Holguin, a province on the east side of the island that is believed to have been visited by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Perfect World Projection: If he throws more strikes and develops even just a usable changeup, he's an ace in the making. Path to the Big Leagues: It's difficult to determine. As a Cuban defector, even a high-profile one, the adjustment to playing professional baseball in America could be difficult. There is a long track record of Cubans struggling with the off-the-field adjustments in their first year stateside. Timetable: It's anticipated that Chapman will begin 2010 at Double-A Carolina, or that he'll arrive there quickly after a handful of warm-up starts with High-A Lynchburg in the Carolina League. His performance will dictate his timetable from there. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.66.57
