http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2009/reports.jsp?content=wilson Alex Wilson, SP, Texas A&M School: Texas A&M University Birthdate: 11/3/86 Height: 6'1" Weight: 205 lbs. Bats: Right Throws: Right Focus Area Comments Fastball: Wilson threw his fastball in the 91-95 mph range throughout his start. It sat at 94 comfortably. Fastball movement: A heavy ball with good riding life. Slider: A plus offering, 82-85 mph, that puts hitters away. He threw it for strikes, getting swings and misses, and can bury it when needed. Curve: He didn't use it much, but it was a solid-average, 80-81 mph slurvy-type pitch. He drops his arm slot, purposefully, for that look. Changeup: He didn't show it much. His other pitches were working so well that he didn't need it. Control: He threw strikes and had good command of all his pitches. Poise: He goes right after hitters and is not afraid to pitch inside. A tough competitor, he leaves it all on the mound. Physical Description: Wilson is six feet tall with a broad, thick and mature build. Medical Update: He's coming off of Tommy John surgery after red-shirting the 2008 season. Strengths: Plus pitches across the board and an idea of how to use them. He shows good command of all his offerings and is a real bulldog on the mound. Weaknesses: His three-quarter slot, his size and his durability. There's some effort to his delivery, which might concern some, but he does seem to be able to maintain his stuff throughout a start. Summary: Wilson red-shirted in 2008, his first season at A&M after coming over from Winthrop, following Tommy John surgery. If early starts were any indication, he seemed to be all the way back with an array of above-average pitches. He goes right after hitters and while he's a little maximum-effort with his delivery, he maintains it deep into starts. He's the kind of college starter who could sneak up on people come Draft time. PG- Wilson had a two-part season that did more to muddy his draft standing than anything. He began the 2009 campaign as a starter and showed a 93-95 mph fastball and big-strikeout slider for the first month, before developing some arm fatigue-understandable after missing a year from surgery-and saw his fastball drop to the 88-92 mph range and his slider flatten out. With freshman Ross Hales stepping up as a potential ace starter, the Aggies moved Wilson to the bullpen, where his stuff regained some of its power, although mid-90s fastballs were more rare over the second half of the spring. Wilson's basic performance totals (6-6, 3.89, 2 SV in 85 IP) should be taken with some perspective. He was completely dominant at times, striking out 111 while only walking 22. Despite the excellent walk totals, scouts expressed concerns that Wilson got too many wild swings from college hitters on his slider, and that more-disciplined professional hitters will lay off the pitch and force Wilson to throw his relatively-straight fastball over the plate. So scouts were forced to evaluate Wilson's future role and what type of baseline stuff he will have in that role by somewhat different means to pin down where he falls in the draft. A secondary factor to consider is that Wilson will turn 23 in November, so the clock is ticking. BA: Wilson projected as a possible first-round pick before he blew out his elbow in the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2007, shortly before he transferred from Winthrop to Texas A&M. He redshirted with the Aggies last spring, though he did reach 94 mph in bullpen workouts that attracted a number of scouts. The Cubs took a flier on him in the 10th round last June and followed him when he returned to the Cape in the summer. Chicago reportedly offered him $600,000 to sign but he was looking for $1.5 million. Wilson looked to be in line for that kind of bonus when he opened this season with a 91-95 mph fastball and a true slider, but his stuff slacked off later in the spring and didn't pick up when Texas A&M moved him to the bullpen. By May, his fastball had flattened out and was down to 88-91 mph and his breaking ball had become slurvy. In his final chance to impress scouts, he got pounded by Oregon State in the opening round of the NCAA Division I regionals. Wilson is mainly a two-pitch pitcher, so he projects as a reliever in pro ball. His control has been sharp (105-18 K-BB ratio in 75 innings) for a pitcher in his first season back after elbow reconstruction. He figures to be a second-round pick at this point, though he's believed to be looking for a seven-figure bonus as a 22-year-old junior. http://forum-soxprospects.com/topic/4549/t/Sox-take-Alex-Wilson-77-overall.html http://www.dailymail.com/Sports/PrepSports/200906100001 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.64.152 ※ 編輯: Belladonaa 來自: 118.160.68.186 (06/12 23:31)
