21. TAMPA BAY RAYS PICK VALUE: $1,974,700 Nick Ciuffo Drafted by: Tampa Bay Rays (No. 21 Overall) Position: C DOB: 3/7/1995 (Age: 18) Height/Weight: 6'1"/200 lbs Bats/Throws: L/R School: Lexington HS (Charleston, S.C.) College Commitment: South Carolina Ranking：BA#22 ESPN#18 MLB.com#23 ------ From BaseballAmerica.com PICK ANALYSIS: The Rays have been looking for a catcher ever since they took Tim Beckham ahead of Buster Posey. Ciuffo is a prototypical catcher with solid catch-and-throw skills along with excellent makeup and toughness. 選擇分析自從光芒跳過Buster Posey選擇Tim Beckham以後，捕手就一直是光芒的痛，紮實的接捕技巧和強悍心理素質，Ciuffo完全符合球探對捕手的期待。 SCOUTING REPORT: Nobody helped themselves more at the National High School Invitational than Nick Ciuffo. Against premium competition, he showed good hitting ability, refined catching skills and an improved frame—standing at a chiseled 6-foot-1, 205 pounds with broad shoulders. Ciuffo stood out on the summer circuit for his bat and chance to catch, but scouts have been impressed by his improvements behind the plate. He is a good receiver with a strong arm and quick release. He plays with energy and has matured into a leader on the field for a nationally ranked team. He projects to hit for at least average power and draws comparisons to A.J. Pierzynski for his tools and competitive edge. He committed to South Carolina before recording a varsity at-bat and has excellent baseball aptitude, recalling at-bats against Stetson Allie as a freshman and breaking down opposing players for scouts. He ’s not as athletic as Reese McGuire and doesn’t have the same power as Jonathan Denney, but he has the best all-around skills of that group and could go in the first round. 球探報告在全國高中邀請賽上Ciuffo的表現領先所有新秀，Ciuffo在比賽中展現很棒的打擊能力，進步的接捕技巧和逐漸成熟的體型（6'1"，205lbs和不錯的肩寬）。他不僅在夏季巡迴賽在打擊和接捕兩方面都展現一定的水準，球探對他在本壘後方的進步印象深刻，很棒的接球、強勁的臂力和快速的傳球。在Nationally ranked team期間，展現了能量，在領導球隊上慢慢成熟。 Ciuffo被預期至少有平均的長打能力，競爭心和天賦讓球探聯想到A.J. Pierzynski ，出色的棒球天賦讓他已經拿到南卡棒球隊的入隊邀請，而他在打擊區和面對對手的表現很容易讓球探聯想到大一的Stetson Allie。 Ciuffo的運動能力不及Reese McGuire，長打能力不如Jonathan Denney，但他是本屆最棒的全方位捕手。 WHERE HE FITS: The Rays didn’t have a catcher ranked in their top 30 in last year’s Prospect Handbook. He should slide into the middle-to-back end of their top 10. 球隊定位光芒在最近幾年的top 30 prospect名單裡都沒有捕手，Ciuffo會成為球隊Top 10後段的新秀。 ---- From minorleagueball.com Ciuffo has the prototypical catcher build. He also has the prototypical arm, bat, leadership attributes, and overall attitude of an elite backstop. He is loyal, as he has been committed to South Carolina since he was a freshman in high school. Honestly, he is way too good of a ball player to go to college. Ciuffo有很棒的捕手條件，不論是臂力、打擊、領導能力、整體態度，對捕手來說都是級品。忠誠，高一就選擇接受南卡大的邀請從沒變過。老實說，就算他去念大學也會是好球員。 His defense is stellar. He is arguably the best defensive catcher in the class. He is quick behind the plate. He has a quick release and a strong, accurate arm. He has a really quick bat. He has a short, quick stroke that is built to hit line drives to every field. I used "quick" a lot, but trust me, it fits. He won't hit for a ton of home run power but will hit plenty of extra base hits. There is potential he will grow into a 20 home run hitter with time though. 防守相當出色，本壘後方移動快速，迅捷的傳球和準確的臂力，讓他成為本屆最佳防守捕手候選之一，揮棒速度快，軌跡短使他能把球擊到球場的各個角落。我用了很多「quick」來形容他，但相信我，這個字非常準確。不會敲出一堆全壘打，但是中長距離的安打是可期的。隨著時間成熟，有機會成為20轟左右的打者。 Ciuffo is the total package. In most drafts, he would be the best backstop in the draft, and there are some who think he currently is despite a lot of competition in this class. I think he is the most well rounded. When draft day comes, he will be off the board by pick 20. Ciuffo有全方位的技巧，在某些選秀會上他會是最棒的捕手，即使在本屆競爭激列的前提下，也有些球探認為他配的上這個稱號。我想他是最全面的。他會在20順位前被選中。 ---- From draysbay.com Best tool: Ciuffo is considered to be the best defensive catcher in the draft, but his all-around game is pretty solid. 最佳工具 Ciuffo被視為本屆最佳捕手，而且他的工具是全方位的。 Analysis: Other catchers in the draft may have better individual skills (such as Jon Denney's power and Reese McGuire's arm), but Ciuffo is the most well-rounded. He offers advanced receiving skills and all the intangibles a team looks for in a catcher. With some tweaks to his throwing mechanics, he could become above average in handling the running game too. He hits for contact well with good bat speed, and he has the strength to become an above average power hitter. Ciuffo immediately becomes the Rays' best catching prospect. 分析可能有其他捕手在單項技能上比Ciuffo更好（如：Jon Denney 的長打能力和Reese Mcguire 的臂力），但Ciuffo是能力最均衡的捕手。可以提供水準之上的接捕能力和捕手應具備的無形資產；或許有些人質疑他的傳球機制，但他依然有實力讓跑者不敢輕舉妄動。不錯的揮棒速度讓他在擊球上做得很好，有機會成為水準之上的長打者。 Ciuffo無疑是光芒目前最棒的捕手新秀。 From BleacherReport.com Background A very rare breed, Ciuffo has the potential to be an offensive catcher with solid defensive chops. Finding that kind of prospect at the high school ranks is unusual, as most players are moved off the position to make sure their bat advances through the minors quickly. 背景稀有品種，Ciuffo有潛力成為具備紮實防守能力的攻擊型捕手，這類型的球員在高中是很罕見的，大多數球員在更高層級會更換守位來提高打擊實力。 He played in the National High School Invitational event last year, showcasing plus power and a strong throwing arm that moved him into the first-round mix for this draft. His frame is ideal for a catcher at the highest level. Ciuffo is committed to play baseball at South Carolina. 在全國高中邀請賽展現水準之上的長打能力和強壯的臂力，使他的選秀前景進入第一輪，對捕手來說他的身形相當理想。接受南卡大的入學邀請 Full Scouting Report Hitting: 35/50 Approach at the plate leaves something to be desired, though not an uncommon trait in high school players; needs to drive the ball to the opposite field more; short stroke with ability to get head through the zone quickly and make solid contact; struggles to recognize off-speed stuff out of pitcher's hand; clean swing with bat speed leads to potential for average hit tool. 球探樂見他在打擊時的反應，雖然這對高中生來說並不稀奇。反方向的攻擊能力有待加強；需要縮短揮棒軌跡來加快在打擊區的反應時間提高擊球能力；對變化球的判斷很掙扎。簡潔的揮棒和揮棒速度讓他有平均的打擊實力。 Power: 40/55 Shows above-average raw power with some difficulty translating into games; has the upside to hit 20 home runs, but will have to prove he can hit enough to get there; lack of stride gives him more line-drive power in game action; hit tool will be main deterrent from reaching full power potential at next level. 具備水準之上的長打力，但目前還無法轉換到比賽中；有20轟以上的天分，但目前看起來有一段路要走；跨步上的缺陷讓使他的長打都只能留在場內居多；如果他能把力量完全發揮出來，這會是他很可怕的一項工具。 Plate Discipline: 40/50 Shows solid eye at the plate presently; off-speed stuff will fool him early until he acclimates to advanced pitching; flaws in hit tool revolve more around some swing mechanics than poor recognition; going to hit premium velocity thanks to quick swing and bat path. 選球眼已有一定水準；對變化球的判斷在他適應更高層級投手前都會是困擾；相比糟糕的選球，要克服打擊上的缺陷應該要先從改善揮棒機制著手；快速的揮棒和軌跡讓他在面對速球得心應手。 Speed: 35/30 Typical running speed for catcher, well below average for other positions; won't be more than station-to-station runner; baseball instincts might help him steal a handful of bases; age and catching will likely decrease speed slightly. 典型的捕手速度，相比其他野手低於水準，不會是盜壘威脅但對棒球的直覺還是讓他有機會跑出幾次盜壘，年紀和接捕時間增加會稍微降低他的速度。 Defense: 45/55 Best defensive catcher among high school crop; shows plus arm strength; athleticism behind plate with ability to block balls; excellent receiver and framer; learning to call games will be biggest adjustment; above-average defender in time. 高中生中防守最棒的捕手（這邊有點誇大，一般認為Reese McGuire 才是本屆防守最佳的高中捕手）；水準之上的臂力；在本壘板後方的運動能力提供很好的擋球實力；出色的接球員能幫助投手建立好球帶；還在學習掌控球賽節奏的能力，水準以上的防守者。 Arm: 60/60 Best tool; registers quick pop times behind the plate; clocked under 1.85 seconds; arm strength is easily plus; accuracy is solid; sets himself very well; little stride needed to get ball out of glove; quick, short release. 最棒的工具，從本壘板後快速的將球傳出，從本壘到二壘不到1.85秒，臂力明顯高於水平；準確性也不賴；傳球動作很棒；需要縮短把球從手套拿出來的時間；快速、簡潔的出手。 MLB Player Comparison: Alex Avila Projection: First-division catcher with above-average defense and plus power. Occasional All-Star. 預測聯盟頂尖捕手之一，水準以上的防守和長打能力，偶爾可以入選All-Star。 MLB ETA: 2018 Chances of Signing: 80% It doesn't seem likely that Ciuffo will ever make it to the University of South Carolina. Moving to college could be beneficial for his hit tool, to go against advanced arms, but it could also expose some of the flaws discussed and drop him down draft boards in three years. In a draft loaded with high school catching, at least in the early rounds, Ciuffo has moved to the head of the class. He has the upside and present stuff, so he will have the offer that entices him to stay away from the Gamecocks. 簽約機率 80％，Ciuffo不太可能去南卡大，進入大學面對更高層級的投手，對提高打擊實力有幫助，但也可能在未來三年暴露其他缺點使順位下滑。這屆有很多高中捕手會進入前幾輪，Ciuffo則是其中的領先群，他有很棒的潛力和實力，所以將會得到一份讓他願意放棄進入大學的獎學金。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.118.6.244
