Jake Odorizzi, RHP 2010 Rank: NR Drafted: 2008, 1st (32) ETA in Majors: 2013 Statistically speaking: Pitching in full-season ball for the first time, Odorizzi finished ninth in the Midwest League in ERA (3.43), sixth in strikeouts (135) and fourth in WHIP while opposing hitters managed a .220 batting average against him. He finished third in the Brewers organization in ERA and strikeouts. Scouting report: A key arm the Royals got in the Zack Greinke deal, Odorizzi throws a good fastball up to 95 mph, and pitches at 91-93 comfortably. It comes with plenty of sink. He complements it with an outstanding curve, which is inconsistent, but shows as a plus pitch at times. He even has a slider, which was an above-average to plus pitch at times. His changeup is an average offering right now. He needs to find more consistency with his stuff and command, but his combination of four pitches, feel for pitching and makeup have scouts very excited. Upside potential: He has the chance to be at least a very good No. 2 starter and could be in the future what Greinke is now. They said it: "We're very excited to have him in our organization. He gives us more pitching depth at the lower levels. Given the left-handed pitchers we have, it's nice to add another good right-hander as well." -- J.J. Picollo, Royals Assistant GM/Scouting and Player Development He said it: "Everything was working. Everything clicked. I could throw anything in any count. It's nice to have that when it comes around." -- after throwing eight innings of nearly perfect baseball in a combined no-hitter last August http://0rz.tw/EYAm3 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.227.214.8
