Prospect of the Day: Tanner Scheppers, RHP, Texas Rangers The Texas Rangers promoted prospect Tanner Scheppers to the majors a few days ago, seeking reinforcement help for the bullpen. Scheppers has been up and down prospect lists for four years. Let's see if we can figure out what the Rangers have here. 今年六月初條子把 Tanner Scheppers 升上大聯盟來強化牛棚他已經在小聯盟浮浮沉沉四年了 Scheppers had a rough freshman season for Fresno State in 2006, walking 15 men in 15 innings. He improved his control substantially as a sophomore, posting a 94/32 K/BB in 93 innings, albeit with a 4.74 ERA. He took an even larger step forward in 2008, posting a 2.93 ERA with a 109/34 K/BB in 71 innings, emerging as one of the top prospects in the draft and a certain first round pick, until a late spring shoulder injury put him on the shelf. He fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second round, didn't sign, trekked to the independent Northern League, then re-entered the draft for 2009, being picked in the supplemental first round and earning a $1,250,000 bonus from Texas. 他在大學時代不斷的精進使他成為頂尖新秀之一必然在首輪被選中的他卻因為肩膀傷勢落到第二輪才被選中他選擇不簽約轉往獨聯發展直到2009年被條子以第一輪補充選秀方式選中並簽下 Scheppers split his 2010 season between Double-A Frisco (0.82 ERA with a 19/0 K/BB in 11 innings) and Triple-A Oklahoma City (5.48 ERA, 71/30 K/BB in 69 innings, 82 hits allowed). He made seven starts but was used primarily as a reliever, although the Rangers claimed they saw him as a long-term starter. At times he was brilliant, but he also had his share of poor outings in the Pacific Coast League amidst rumors of a tired arm. A back injury (herniated disc) limited him to 44 innings between Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock in 2011, with spotty results (combined 3.71 ERA with a 44/21 K/BB and 41 hits allowed). Again, he was brilliant at times and ineffective at others. Before his promotion to the majors this year, he had a 3.72 ERA with a 27/4 K/BB and 30 hits allowed in 29 innings for Round Rock, showing substantially improved control while saving nine games. 2010~11年他在2A與3A都有出賽 2010年他原先被當作後援使用但也有7次先發出賽的紀錄 2011年則因為背部的傷勢使他只有44局的投球同樣的是這兩年間他的表現時好時壞今年他在3A交出 3.72ERA 29局 27K 4BB 被打29支安打的成績單在9場救援成功的比賽中展現出持續進步的控球 A 6-4, 220 pound right-handed hitter and thrower, Scheppers was born January 17, 1987. Velocity is his calling card: he hit 100 MPH in college and still hits 98-99 on his best days, although 94-97 is his usual range now. He combines the fastball with a curveball, slider, and changeup. Scouts generally give the strongest grades to the curveball, and when things are going well the curve makes a great one-two punch with his heater. The slider and changeup need work but both pitches are decent enough that the Rangers felt he could start. 今年25歲的右投 Scheppers 曾在大學時期飆過100 MPH 而現在通常投在 94-97 MPH 之間最好的時候還能投到 98-99 MPH 他有 curveball、slider、changeup 當中評價最高的是 curveball slider和changeup還需要努力但這樣已經足夠讓球隊感覺他能先發了 Scheppers has some problems which have, so far, prevented him from reaching his full potential. His fastball is sometimes too straight, making him surprisingly hittable despite his velocity. His command is erratic, giving him significant trouble at times. He loses his release point occasionally, costing him both stuff and location and sometimes leading to telegraphing of his breaking ball. Those kinds of problems are generally fixable, but the biggest concern is simple health: in addition to last year's back trouble, scouts still remember the shoulder problems and many feel that his arm will simply implode someday. Scheppers存在一些問題使得他無法長到100%被預期的樣子他的直球很快但是有時候太直了他的command不太穩定使他常常陷入麻煩他偶爾會找不到放球點使變化球被看出來這些問題都可以被修正真正值得關注是他的健康狀況去年的背傷連同過去的肩膀問題都讓球探感覺他的手臂隨時會爆炸 Caveats and concerns aside, Scheppers has looked quite good in 2012. He's throwing hard, pounding the strike zone very effectively, and looking more like the pitcher scouts saw in college. While durability concerns likely limit him to the bullpen, he's got the stuff to be a very valuable relief asset if his command stays steady, and he could close games eventually. 把這些擔心放在一旁至少他今年看起來很好他非常有效率的攻擊好球帶越來越像他大學時代那樣他的續航力問題可能把他的角色限制在牛棚但只要 command 保持穩定他的 stuff 就非常有價值使他最後可能長成一個終結者來源:http://www.minorleagueball.com 發表時間: JUN 15, 2012 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.32.232
