[情報] 2011 MLB.com's Top 50 Prospects: No. 43 Tanners Schepper
Tanner Scheppers, RHP
2010 Rank: 39
Drafted: 2009, 1st (44)
ETA in Majors: 2011
Statistically speaking:
In his first 27 innings of work in 2010, all in relief, Scheppers was
virtually unhittable. He allowed just three earned runs on 12 hits,
walking 10 and striking out 42. That was good for a 1.00 ERA and .130
batting average against.
Scouting report:
Scheppers has the stuff to be a frontline starter or a premium short
reliever. His plus fastball touches the upper 90s and even gains another
few ticks when he's pitching in relief. He's got two breaking balls, both
of which are above-average. He has a changeup, but it will need to improve
if he wants to be a starter, long-term. He'll also need to improve his
command. Scheppers had a shoulder injury coming out of college but made it
through 2010 healthy. The Rangers would like him to work on starting in 2011.
Upside potential:
If the changeup and command improve, he can be a top-of-the-rotation starter.
If not, he could set up or close very successfully.
They said it: "Because of the sheer number of innings and the levels he
jumped this season, we're backing him off a little bit. He pitched some in
instructional league, but we're going to back him off and get him on a good
throwing program this winter." -- Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine, on the
decision to not have Scheppes pitch winter ball
He said it: "For them to give me the chance to be able to start in Spring
Training, I'm really happy that they're giving me that shot. Hopefully, I'll
just prepare myself and be ready physically and mentally."
