International Reviews: Tampa Bay Rays By Ben Badler Several scouts thought the best pitcher in Latin America for July 2 last year was Venezuelan righthander Jose Mujica (video). After it looked like Mujica would sign with the Blue Jays, the Rays stepped in and signed him for $1 million. Mujica, who trained with Carlos Guillen, was one of the youngest players in last year's July 2 class, as he didn't turn 16 until June 29. At 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Mujica displays an easy arm action and a fluid delivery that he repeats well, enabling him to throw plenty of strikes with his fastball to both sides of the plate. His fastball sits around 89-91 mph and has hit 93 with late, heavy life. With the physical projection he has, Mujica should be throwing in the mid-90s in a few years. 在許多球探眼中，去年七月二號以來拉丁美洲最棒的右投手非Jose Mujica莫屬。就在大家認為藍鳥即將得標之際，光芒突然殺出以$1.0M攔胡。接受Carlos Guillen指導的 Mujica在六月二十九號才滿16歲，是同梯最年輕的球員之一。6'2"，180磅的Mujica可以重複展現簡單的揮臂動作和流暢的出手，使他能將許多好球控制在好球帶邊緣。球速落在89-91mph，最高可達93mph。根據身型預測，Mujica可以在幾年內將球速拉高到 94-96mph。 Mujica's changeup is well beyond his years. It's already an above-average offering and could be a 70 pitch eventually. He throws his changeup with good arm speed and gets good sink on it, and he'll throw it to both lefties and righties. Mujica doesn't have a lot of fluidity in his wrists, which hinders his slurvy breaking ball. Mujica got some exposure to pro ball this winter in the Liga Paralela (Venezuela's "parallel league," a winter league for younger minor leaguers), and is expected to join Castillo in the GCL this summer. Mujica的變速球水準遠超過同齡的選手，評價已經在聯盟水準之上，有朝一日可以在20 –80分量表拿到70分的高分。這顆變速球伴隨優良的揮臂速度，並展現很棒的下沉軌跡，對左右打都有效。Mujica在手腕的運用上還不夠流暢，阻礙了滑曲球的威力。Mujica 已在去年冬天在委內瑞拉青年冬季聯盟初試啼聲，今年夏天他應該會在GCL和Castillo 併肩作戰。 The Rays locked in early on 16-year-old Venezuelan catcher David Rodriguez (video), who like Mujica also trained with Guillen, signing him for $600,000. Rodriguez hasn't played in an official game yet, but his career is already off to a promising start. Even though he was one of the youngest players in the Liga Paralela, Rodriguez performed well both offensively and defensively in the league. He hit .258/.343/.371 with seven walks and 10 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances, and he also erased 14 of 34 basestealers (41 percent). 光芒早早就用$0.6M的簽約金鎖定了16歲委內瑞拉捕手David Rodriguez，他和Mujica都接受Guillen指導。Rodriguez還沒有在職業賽場上出賽，但已經有了不錯的起始點。身為Liga Paralela最年輕球員之一。Rodriguez在攻守兩端都有很穩定的表現，在70個打數裡，交出.258/.343/.371，7次保送，10次三振的成績。同時在34次阻殺機會裡抓到 14位跑者（41%）。 Rodriguez's showing in the Liga Paralela reflects his advanced feel for the game. At 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Rodriguez has a good catcher's frame and a sound hitting approach from the right side. He makes frequent contact and uses the whole field with a line-drive swing. He has gap power and probably will never be a huge home run threat, but he could hit 10-15 homers per year. Rodriguez doesn't have great bat speed or quick-twitch actions, but scouts who believe in him think he can get his hands started early enough to hit. Rodriguez在Liga Paralela的成績展現了天生的球感。5'11"，190磅，很棒的捕手身型，而且可以在右打區作出貢獻。很少揮空，可以將平飛球打向每個角落形成長打，也許不會成為重砲威脅，但每年10–15轟是可以期待的。Rodriguez缺乏揮棒速度，但球探相信他可以藉由提早揮棒動作來擊中球。 Rodriguez should stick at catcher because he has soft hands, is agile behind the plate, blocks well and looks natural as a catcher. He doesn't have a cannon, but his arm strength is average. His ability to call a game and his understanding of the nuances of the position are advanced for his age. Rodriguez will most likely stay in Venezuela to start his career in the Rookie-level Venezuelan Summer League. Rodriguez接球動作柔軟，在本壘後方的反應快，擋球能力不錯，平均水準的臂力，是個天生的捕手。有能力掌控球賽的節奏，對站位的理解遠超過同齡的新人。Rodriguez最有可能待在委內瑞拉的VSL開啟他的職業生涯。 The Rays are one of four teams left with a Venezuelan academy and team in the VSL, and they have done the bulk of their international spending in recent years in the country. Another Venezuelan prospect they signed last year was Frehumar Rivas, a lefthander who trained with Gabriel Granja and signed for $200,000 in August. Rivas, who turned 17 in September, has a skinny 6-foot-1, 150-pound frame with wide shoulders and the ball comes out of his hand well, which means he should add to his 87-89 mph fastball as he adds weight. He's not afraid to throw inside, but Rivas is still a fairly raw projection at this point, as he's still learning to throw more strikes and bring along his curveball and changeup. 光芒是聯盟在委內瑞拉設有棒球學校，在VSL也有下屬球隊的四支球團之一，同時他們在最近幾年也在國際球員上砸下重金。Frehumar Rivas是光芒去年八月以$0.2M簽下的另一位委內瑞拉新秀。Rivas目前接受Gabriel Granja指導，在九月才滿17歲，骨架是纖細的 6'1"，150磅，肩膀很寬，球在出手後也有很棒的速度，這意味著他目前87-89mph的球速在增重後可望進一步提升。Rivas不怕把球塞進內角，但因為他目前還在學習控球和磨練曲球和變速球，所以前景還不明朗。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.118.6.244
