Rangers dominated the NWL list 沒錯，我們家小朋友表現得真的不是蓋的，來看看他們的scout reports吧~ 以下球探報告轉載自Baseball America網站 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Martin Perez, lhp, Spokane (Rangers) B-T: L-L Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 165 Age: 17 Signed: Venezuela '07 It took Perez 14 tries to earn his first pro victory this summer, but his season couldn't be considered anything but a success. After all, he was the youngest player in the Northwest League at age 17 and was making his pro debut after signing out of Venezuela in 2007. He finished seventh in ERA (3.65) and allowed just three homers in 62 innings. Small and wiry at 6 feet and 165 pounds, Perez nevertheless has two plus pitches. He consistently works from 89-92 and touches 94 mph with his fastball, and his power breaking ball may be the best curve in a Rangers system loaded with arms. Perez shows some feel for a changeup, a third potential plus pitch, but it's still a work in progress. He maintains good arm speed and gets good action on it, though it can be too firm. G GS W L SV ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG 15 15 1 2 0 3.65 62 66 32 25 3 28 53 .274 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Neil Ramirez, rhp, Spokane (Rangers) B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 185 Age: 19 Drafted: Rangers '07 (1s) As with Perez, the Rangers challenged Ramirez by sending him to the NWL to make his pro debut as a teenager. He had little trouble overpowering older hitters, holding them to a .166 average while striking out 52 in 44 innings. Ramirez attacks hitters with a 90-94 mph fastball that touches 96 and has decent life to the arm side. He has shown the ability to change speeds with his fastball, keeping hitters off balance. They can't gear up for it because his curveball is a hard, late-breaking hammer, a true plus pitch. At 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, Ramirez also has projection remaining. He's working on a changeup that showed improvement throughout the summer. He has to improve his command and control, but his pure stuff is exciting. G GS W L SV ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG 13 13 1 2 0 2.66 44 25 15 13 5 29 52 .166 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Wilfredo Boscan, rhp, Spokane (Rangers) B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 160 Age: 18 Signed: Venezuela '06 Another teenage pitching standout for Spokane, Boscan led the NWL in wins (nine) while finishing fourth in ERA (3.12) and strikeouts (70 in 69 innings). For an 18-year-old, he showed uncanny fastball command and mound presence. He was fearless, working the inside corner and throwing any pitch in any count. Boscan's fastball ranges from 88-92 mph and it tends to sink down and away from righthanders. He changes speeds on his over-the-top curveball, and he gets good late movement on his plus changeup. His 70-11 K-BB ratio ranked second in the league to Loree, who's three years older. G GS W L SV ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG 15 12 9 1 0 3.12 69 66 30 24 4 11 70 .251 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. Tim Murphy, lhp, Spokane (Rangers) B-T: L-L Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 190 Age: 21 Drafted: Rangers '08 (3) A two-way prospect who focused solely on playing the outfield as a UCLA freshman, Murphy has established that his future definitely is on the mound. He drew some Andy Pettitte comparisons in the NWL, where he was one of the best relievers around. His competitive nature makes him a perfect fit for a late-inning relief role, though he also may have enough stuff to serve as a starter. Murphy has a 90-92 mph fastball, but his best pitch is a sharp, over-the-top curveball. If he can improve his changeup and his control (he gave up nearly as many walks as hits), he could move into the rotation. His arm action is long in back, which affects his release point and his ability to locate his pitches. G GS W L SV ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG 13 1 3 1 2 3.03 33 17 12 11 3 15 40 .152 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16. Matt West, 3b, Spokane (Rangers) B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 200 Age: 19 Drafted: Rangers '07 (2) After signing as a second-rounder in 2007, West made headlines two months into his pro career when he drew a 50-game suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. When he returned this summer, he showed a promising bat. He has good bat speed, the ability to drive the ball to all fields and penchant for hammering fastballs. West still is figuring out how to translate his raw power in batting practice into performance in games, and he has a ways to go in solving breaking balls. Though he played shortstop in high school, his size and range profile better at third base. He has a solid arm and average speed.
