http://tinyurl.com/8ub4hon Rookie Review: Wilmer Font, RHP, Texas Rangers By John Sickels on Sep 19, 2012 因為許多原因，除了條子迷，關注 Wilmer Font 的人不多但他在2012球季有著很大的進步 Everyone is talking about the Orioles promoting Dylan Bundy today, but there is another just-promoted rookie that you should pay close attention to: right-handed pitcher Wilmer Font of the Texas Rangers. For a variety of reasons, he hasn't received a lot of notice outside of Rangers fandom, but he has one of the better arms in professional baseball and has made big strides harnessing his talent in 2012. 他是條子2007年從委內瑞拉簽下的選手健康和 command 一直是阻礙他前進的問題直到2009球季他才在 LOW-A 有第一個完整球季，108局、8勝3敗、3.49ERA、105K、59BB 2010球季他在 Low-A 與 High-A 間來回，16次先發交出4.35ERA，79局85K、45BB 正當他開始吸引到球探注意的時候，他又受傷了因為TJ手術他錯過了整個2011球季，讓2012球季的復出變成一個大問號 Font was signed by the Rangers out of the Venezuela in 2007. Hampered by command and health issues, he didn't make his full-season debut until 2009, when he went 8-3, 3.49 ERA with a 105/59 K/BB in 108 innings for Low-A Hickory in the South Atlantic League, allowing just 93 hits. In 2010 he was limited to 16 starts in A-ball, posting a 4.35 ERA with an 85/45 K/BB in 79 innings between Low-A and High-A. He was beginning to draw some national attention at that point, but fell off the radar again after blowing out his elbow. Tommy John surgery cost him all of 2011, and he entered '12 as very much a question-mark. 像那些剛動完大手術的選手一樣，在球季開始時他的球速很不穩定好不容易找回信心，球速又不見了直到季末他才把他的火球找回來本季在 High-A 的成績是 83局 4.21ERA 109K 37BB 只被打58支安打升到2A後擔任牛棚，短短15局送出29K，只有9安7BB Font's velocity was inconsistent early this spring, which is normal for a guy rehabbing from surgery. Once he got his confidence back, his velocity picked back up, and by the end of the season he was throwing bullets again. Font posted a 4.21 ERA with a 109/37 K/BB in 83 innings for High-A Carolina this year, allowing just 58 hits. Promoted to Double-A Frisco in August, he moved to the bullpen to keep his workload reasonable. He posted a 3.00 ERA with a spectacular 29 whiffs in 15 innings, allowing only nine hits, walking seven. 他只有22歲，6呎4吋，210磅，右投曾經投過100 MPH，第一次小聯盟上場投出過 97.8 MPH，然後整個夏天穩定在 93-97MPH 過去曾用過 curveball 和另一個平直的變化球今年主要的 secondary pitches 是 slider 與 splitter 他的 stuff 很好，這點可以從他傑出的 K/IP 和 H/IP 值進一步確定 It may seem to Rangers fans especially that Font has been around for awhile, but he's still only 22. Listed at 6-4, 210, the right-hander was born May 24th, 1990, in La Guiara, Venezuela. Clocked as high as 100 MPH in the past, he topped out at 97.8 MPH in his first major league outing and was working at 93-97 consistently all summer. After using a curveball and a straight change in the past, he's adopted a slider and splitter as his key secondary pitches this year. Sabermetrically-speaking, his outstanding K/IP and H/IP ratios confirm the quality of his stuff. 現在他也很健康，剩下的問題是 command 以及他的角色定位他的武器是否足夠讓他先發? 目前為止只有15局在2A的牛棚經驗，明年有辦法勝任大聯盟的工作嗎? Now that he's proven his health, the main questions heading forward go back to his command and role. With just 15 innings in Double-A, is he ready for a major league job next year, or would more minor league time be advisable? Is his arsenal diverse enough for him to start, or will he fit better as a power-armed reliever and potential closer? 不管是先發還是後援，他都是有能力影響戰局的投手目前他至少可以得到 B- 的評價 Either way, he has the potential to be an impact pitcher. At this point I see him as at least a Grade B- prospect. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.38.151
