Prospect A to Z 來到第10天，今天的主角是今年首輪選秀中，被選中時引起一陣譁然的Jake Hager，但其實他在Princeton的表現還不差，一起來看看評價如何吧！ Jake Hager was the Rays final true first-round selection, right before the plethora of supplemental round picks. A shortstop from a Las Vegas-area high school, he signed quickly for $963,000 and was able to get his pro career started. Unlike every other high school draftee, the Rays sent Hager to Princeton and not the Gulf Coast League. While he only hit .269/.305/.399, he impressed nonetheless playing against mainly older competition. BaseballAmerica rated him as the 7th-best prospect in the Appalachian League, behind only Drew Vettleson among Princeton players: Jake Hager是光芒在進行補償選秀前，最後一位選進的球員。這位來自拉斯維加斯的高中游擊手，很快的以$963,000簽下，開始職業生涯。與其他的高中選秀球員不同，光芒將他送到Princeton而不是GCL Rays。雖然打擊三圍只有.269/.305/.399，但仍然讓他在這個以老經驗球員為主體的聯盟留下不錯的印象。BA將Hager排在這個聯盟潛力新秀的第7位，以Princeton的球員來說，只排在Drew Vettleson之後： The third of three Rays first-round picks this year, Hager signed quickly for $963,000 and got 47 games of experience under his belt. He may lack prototype range for shortstop, but he's sure-handed and fundamentally sound, and his solid-average arm strength will allow him to play second or third base in the event of a position switch. 今年第三位選進的首輪球員，Hager很快以$963,000簽下，並獲得47場出賽經驗。也許缺乏游擊手所需要的守備範圍，但手法熟練，不錯的基本功，水準以上的臂力讓他可以轉往二、三壘發展。 Even if Hager's defensive home has yet to be determined, few managers questioned his offensive potential. He has a handy swing and knack for contact, spraying the ball around and looking to hit the ball where it's pitched. He doesn't project as a big power or stolen-base threat, but he could top out at 12-15 homers at his peak and he has solid speed. 即使守位還沒確定，一些經理還是質疑著Hager的進攻潛力。他具備熟練的揮棒與碰球技巧，可以把球打向每個角落，並且掌握球的來向。Hager不會成為一位重砲手或盜壘威脅，但如果能完全將潛力轉換成實力，12-15支全壘打，水準以上的速度是可以期待的。 The last Rays high school first round pick was, of course, Tim Beckham. While Beckham got more than six times Hager's signing bonus, he also signed quickly and played 46 games with Princeton (two with Hudson Valley brought him to 48 total; Hager played in 47). Beckham hit .246/.309/.350 and was assigned to Bowling Green the following year. Surely part of that is because he was the top pick in the draft, but it's got me wondering about Hager. If they liked him enough to have him in Princeton and not the GCL, is it possible he follows Beckham's footsteps? It could happen, but Juniel Querecuto played SS for Hudson Valley and is the logical choice to be promoted to the Hot Rods. Meanwhile, Hager could head for the Renegades or be re-united with much of his draft class in Princeton. The Rays will want him and Brandon Martin on different teams so each can play shortstop every day, and I think the most likely scenario is Hager at HV and Martin with Princeton. 前一個和Hager有類似背景，是同樣在第一輪被選中的高中游擊手Tim Beckham。儘管 Beckham的簽約金是他的六倍，同樣很快被簽下，且在Princeton出賽了46場（Beckham 還在A-多出賽了兩場）。當年的打擊三圍是.246/.309/.350，隔年從A出發。顯然部分是因為Beckham是當年的狀元，但這仍然會讓我開始好奇Hager的發展。如果球團是因為喜歡Hager，讓他從Princeton（而不是GCL）出發，那是不是有可能讓他以Beckham的路線成長呢？這是有可能的，但Juniel Querecuto是目前A-的游擊手，按邏輯來說，他才是該被升上A的優先人選。同時，Hager可以到A-，或是跟著大部分的同屆新秀重新回到 Princeton。光芒會希望他跟Brandon Martin分開，這樣兩者才可以每天都以游擊手的身分出賽，我認為最有可能的情況是，Hager在A-，而Martin從Princeton出發。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.118.6.244 ※ 編輯: csy1911 來自: 140.118.6.244 (11/04 13:37)
