BRANDON WORKMAN, rhp, Texas SCOUTING PROFILE (3/1): Even after his freshman year at Texas, Workman may have been the most-dominant pitcher in the Cape Cod League in 2008. He utilized a consistent hard fastball and superior breaking ball to top the league with 67 strikeouts in 55 innings, while walking just 14. His encore for Wareham wasn’t nearly as impressive as he went 1-1, 5.06 with 11 walks and 24 strikeouts in 21 innings. Though more inconsistent than a year earlier, he did flash his dominant stuff. His fastball was mostly in the 92-93 mph range, though it did spike 3-4 mph in the Cape all-star game and generally showed good life. Workman projects to throw an easy 95-97 as he gains experience and refines his delivery to take better advantage of the power in his imposing frame. His out-pitch is a nasty, 12-to-6 power curve at 78-80 mph that he is able to throw in almost any count as he has excellent command of the pitch. He doesn’t throw his changeup often, but it should be a solid third pitch with increased use. Workman, a third-round pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2007 out of a Texas high school, has excellent poise and an advanced knowledge of pitching, and clearly understands the benefit of working inside to hitters. He just needs to trust his stuff more and develop better command low in the strike zone. But Workman’s biggest challenge continues to be streamlining his pitching mechanics. He throws from a high three-quarters-to-overhand release point with a long, extended arm action in back and some effort out front on release. Despite being one of the elite arms on a College World Series runner-up team last spring, he went just 3-5, 3.48 with 82 strikeouts in 75 innings. He made just five appearances (3 starts) during the summer as he arrived on the Cape with a tired arm. But his stuff remains first-rate, and he should be an elite first-round candidate in the 2010 draft.—ALLAN SIMPSON UPDATE (5/15): Workman has gradually morphed from an unharnessed talent as a Texas freshman (3-4, 5.06) to a control pitcher with power stuff as a junior. He was 10-1, 3.50 in his first 82 innings this spring, and had walked just 17 while allowing four homers. Even though he’s just been the No. 3 starter at Texas this spring behind junior righthander Cole Green and sophomore righthander Taylor Jungmann on an extraordinary college pitching staff, Workman has shown the type of consistency that should translate extremely well into success at the pro level.—DAVID RAWNSLEY http://canadianbaseballnetwork.com/node/14200 ----- Brandon Workman - P Texas, Jr. Birthdate: 8/13/1988 Height: 6'5" Weight: 220 lbs. Bats: Right Throws: Right Scout's report filed: 3/5-3/7/10 Scouting Report Fastball: Workman throws his fastball in the 90-95 mph range. He throws a two- and four-seamer. Fastball movement: He has plus movement -- late sink with bore on the two-seamer and riding life on the four-seamer. Cutter: It's a plus pitch. Curve: He has an average curve ball and he commands it well. Changeup: He's got a good feel for his changeup. Control: He has good command and pitches ahead in the count. Poise: He's always on an even keel and has a competitive, bulldog mentality. Physical Description: Workman has a Kerry Wood-type body. Medical Update: Healthy. Strengths: Strong mix of pitches, good command, excellent competitiveness on the mound. Weaknesses: While he's durable, he has reliever mechanics with a little bit of effort. Summary: Scouts have known about Workman for quite some time, and he was a third-round pick of the Phillies in 2007. Over the course of his Longhorns career and a couple of Cape Cod League stints, he's done little to hurt his stock. With a solid repertoire, good command and bulldog mentality, he's the kind of top-program college starter who will undoubtedly get many looks in the early going on Draft Day. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=8080130&content_id=7200775 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc)
