[新聞] Zimmer reinjures right shoulder
he number-two prospect for the Kansas City Royals, right-hander Kyle Zimmer,
re-injured his shoulder in his most recent Arizona Fall League start, the
same shoulder injury that limited Zimmer to fewer than five innings this
season.
The Kansas City Royals are in the World Series, so everything is right in the
world of the big-league club; but the farm system got some horrible news
after right-hander Kyle Zimmer, the team’s top pick in 2012 MLB Draft and
the Royals’ number-two prospect, left his start for the
Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League with a shoulder injury. The team
fears it’s the same injury that held Zimmer to just 4.2 innings in the
minors this season, a huge blow to the 23-year-old and to the Royals’ hopes
for him.
The news on Zimmer is even more disheartening considering the performance he
was showing in the AFL thus far. His last start was a five-inning,
11-strikeout performance that was quite encouraging, as he barely pitched in
2014 due to a lat strain and tendinitis.
Zimmer hasn’t been pitching for very long, as he was a third baseman for the
University of San Francisco before converting to pitcher in his sophomore
year. Still, it has to be frustrating for both the Royals and Zimmer, whom
scouts claim has the potential to be a front-of-the-rotation starting
pitcher, with a chance at four above-average MLB pitches when he’s fully
developed.
“More than likely, we’re not going to push [Zimmer] any further this fall
and just try to get this under control,” said assistant general manager J.J.
Picollo. “I think it’s more disappointment in the sense that we know how
hard Kyle’s worked. We don’t have any images or anything like that right
now. We think it’s very similar to what he’s been battling, and we’ve just
got to keep working to figure it out.”
If Zimmer is healthy enough to pitch at the beginning of the 2015 season, he
will likely begin his year with the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers, the same
level he was at last season.
好慘,2012年選進來每年都有傷勢困擾....
希望這次不要有事
