212 Jon Gaston OF Jr. L-R 6-0 206 Arizona Boise, Idaho Giants ’05 (20) 10/13/1986 SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Gaston, an Idaho high school product, could be a significant draft selection in June but may be almost an afterthought on his own team as Arizona has a deep, talented roster. He has all the tools scouts look for in a corner outfielder with speed, arm strength and the ability to hit with wood from the left side—both for power and average. As a sophomore, he hit .319-6-33. He’s played regularly in right field for the Wildcats the last two years but wouldn’t feel out of place in center. The knock on Gaston is his size. He’s listed at 6-feet, but may actually be closer to 5-11. He overcomes his lack of size with a strong, powerful frame. He showed a lot of power with wood in the fall, though his power didn’t evolve last summer in the Cape Cod League before he was sent home for disciplinary reasons. Scouts say if Gaston can produce big power and stolen base numbers this spring, he could be a third-to fifth-rounder; otherwise, he probably falls in the sixth- to 10th-round range. Gaston 是爱德华高中的毕业生，他可能是在选秀会上受到注目的一个新秀，虽然他在亚利 桑那那群充满天份的队友中并不是非常亮眼．　他满足所有球探队左右外野手的要 求条件，速度，臂力，和木棒的左打能力(不论是power或是维持高打击率)．　大二 他留下了.319　6HR　33RBI的成绩．　他过去两年都担任队上的右外野手，不过偶 而客串一下中外野．　他最大的劣势在他的身高，资料上是写6尺不过事实上可能只 有5尺11寸．　不过他强壮的体格克服了他身高的劣势．　虽然在夏天CCL的时候在 他因为纪律问题被送回家之前没留下好成绩，但他在秋天的时候展现出惊人的木棒 打击力量．　球探表示如果他今年春天可以展现出他的power和盗垒能力，有机会在 第三到五轮被选上，否则他会掉到5-10轮． —ALLAN SIMPSON UPDATE (5/15): Gaston did little to improve his draft position this season until a late-season surge at the plate lifted his average to .307 (through mid-May). He also had 11 homers and 12 stolen bases, but his 42 strikeouts and general inability to make frequent contact remain an obstacle in his overall development as a hitter. Gaston is not as graceful or athletic as Arizona center fielder T.J. Steele, but he runs and throws average, and his lefthanded bat has the potential to be an effective weapon.—AS Gaston在今年球季的表现并没有帮助到他提升他选秀的顺位，直到球季後半才开始拉 尾盘，把打击率提升回.307．　他还有11HR和12SB，但是他也领了42K，他最大的问题 在於没办法稳定的打到球，这会是他发展成一个大联盟球员最大的障碍．　Gaston不 像他的队友Steele一样展现出优秀的运动员天赋，他大概有平均左右的速度和臂力， 而他的左打能力可能发展成为一个有力的武器． --
