http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2009/reports.jsp?content=renfroe Player Name: David Renfroe Position: Shortstop School: South Panola HS (Miss.) Birthdate: 11/16/90 Height: 6'3" Weight: 200 lbs. Bats: Right Throws: Right Focus Area Comments Hitting ability: Renfroe is a natural hitter with a balanced approach, quick hands and an ability to use the whole field. Power: He has loft power now that grades out as average. It should develop into better than that because of his hitting ability. Running speed: He's an average runner, about 4.3 seconds down the line from the right side. Base running: He's a very good baserunner, with excellent instincts. He's not a basestealer, but he can steal a base. Arm strength: As a pitcher who throws 93 mph off the mound and a high school quarterback, he's got a plus arm in the infield. Fielding: He's got above-average hands and terrific instincts. Range: He's got average range, though his instincts help him play a tick above that. Physical Description: Renfroe is an athletic infielder who has reminded some of David Wright, both in how he looks and how he plays. Medical Update: Healthy. Strengths: Above-average offensive tools at the plate. Plus arm and defensive skills as well. Very athletic and instinctive player. Weaknesses: He eventually may get too big and strong to stay at shortstop, but his bat should play fine at third. Summary: Renfroe is an exciting all-around high school talent who can do a little of everything on the baseball field. A talented pitcher who throws 93 mph and the QB for one of the top high school football programs in the country, he's very athletic but has baseball smarts to go along with it. He should hit for average and power in the future, so even if he has to move off shortstop, he's got the bat to make sense at third. His dad played pro ball for nine years, so the bloodlines are there to boot, making him a very intriguing player who should go off the board pretty early. PG: There's little question that Renfroe would be a two-way player in college, in the increasingly-unlikely event that he even ends up there. That would probably silence the pitcher vs. player debate for potentially three years. That debate has raged most of the spring as Renfroe began the 2009 season as primarily a pitcher and ended it as primarily a shortstop/hitter. Renfroe himself prefers becoming an everyday player, and enjoyed more success this spring in that role, hitting .507. As a pitcher, he went just 3-3 and was beaten convincingly in his final outing as South Panola fell far short of its recent football success by losing its only two playoff games. Renfroe's fastball peaked at 94 mph and he flashed all the other ingredients to develop into a front-line starter at the big-league level, but his secondary stuff and command were inconsistent. His superior arm strength is an obvious asset at shortstop and he displays soft, sure hands along with the ability to make all the plays required of a regular shortstop. For the most part, he showed balance at the plate, with good swing mechanics and extension through the ball, but his swing was a little long and loopy, at times. He just needs time to work out of some of his kinks at the plate. Whether Renfroe becomes a pitcher or player in the short term at the next level will probably boil down to money, and which team is willing to step up to the plate first and what it's preference is for Renfroe.-AS BA: Renfroe's father Laddie played baseball at Ole Miss, where he was a pitcher and a two-time all-Southeastern Conference selection. If the younger Renfroe makes it to Oxford, he has a chance to exceed his father's accomplishments as a power pitcher who also could be an outstanding college hitter. That's the problem for Ole Miss, though-Renfroe may be too good to get to school. He's a legitimate prospect both ways and reportedly put the word out that he wanted to hit, and that he wanted to sign if the money was right. Renfroe has a polished approach as a hitter, with solid-average power and hitting tools. He's a smooth defender with good hands who should be a capable college shortstop and an outstanding third baseman at the pro level. He has obvious arm strength that also plays on the mound. He sits at 88-92 mph with his fastball and has touched higher, up to 95 at times. He has the ability to spin a breaking ball and has shown a feel for a changeup. Scouts are split on whether he has more upside as a pitcher or as a hitter. He showed his wood-bat power with a home run last year during the Under Armour/Baseball Factory all-star game, easily reaching the Wrigley Field seats. He could go late in the first round as a hitter for a team that wants to buy him away from Ole Miss, though the consensus had him as a second- to third-round talent. From KG's top 50 at BP.com: 28. David Renfroe, SS/RHP, South Panola HS (MS) The Good: The best two-way talent in the draft wants to be an everyday player, and scouts prefer him there as a smooth shortstop with an outstanding arm. He projects for above-average power for a middle infielder, and he runs well. The Bad: He could grow out of the middle and be forced to third base; the tools are there for him to be a good hitter, but he remains very raw at the plate, with a long trigger in his swing that will need to be eliminated. In A Perfect World He Becomes: Teams dream on him as a Troy Tulowitzki type at short, but there's a lot of bust potential. http://soxblog.projo.com/2009/06/sox-select-cf-r.html http://tinyurl.com/ksuwem -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.64.152
