BA/BP的 mid-season top 50都把他踢出去了 Law对他倒是还很乐观.. Law的mid-season出的很早 不过最近他的Q&A还是对他很正面 Travis (Dallas) Is Mark Appel still a top 50 prospect? Klaw: Yes – velocity is fine, delivery is fine, he’s healthy, makeup is good, I’ m really not worried. He’s also pitching on the surface of the moon. BA/BP目前已经把他归类到4th/5th的inning eater了 最近的BA Q&A J.J. Cooper: at this point it’s very hard to see Mark Appel ending up as a better pick than Kris Bryant. Could happen, but highly, highly unlikely. I don’t like that it ends up like I’m always banging on Appel’s prospects, but I added another guy who has seen Appel as a pro which makes it six pro scouts who have seen him. Best report I’ve gotten from any of them is that he’s a backend of the rotation starter–maybe a good innings eating No. 4 starter. I’ve asked some friends in the industry to get back to me if they talk to one of their friends who scouts who has him in better than that. So far, I haven’t found one. Do those reports not really match up with the pre-draft reports? Definitely not. But he’s over a year into his pro career. At this point, there’s a lot of experienced pro scouts who have seen him and think there’s a lot of reasons to be concerned. The best hope is that what we’ve seen from Appel so far is not an indication of what his stuff and command will be long-term. BP前一段时间对他的SC [重延长春训回到Lancaster投球之後] Mechanics High three-quarters arm slot; inconsistent downhill plane; struggles spotting pitches down; great size and body; average athlete; clean delivery that checks off all the boxes; powerful hip rotation; upper half can fly open at times; lacks deception; easy to pick up the ball out of his hand; tipped pitches in second look with hand placement in glove and straight to home plate; became more closed in third outing to correct issue. Type Present Future Sit Peak Report F 60 60 92-93 94 Four-seam fastball with solid movement at the lower velocity range; fastball command is present glove side; struggles to hit the lower quadrants and consistently keep the offering down; inconsistent downhill plane causes for flat fastballs over the heart of the plate; mostly just grooves the offering over the plate; creates for hard hits and drives to the warning track. CH 50 60 82 83 Changeup flashes plus potential; late vertical action; fades; excellent deception; didn't have feel until the third inning; shows confidence in the offering; will throw it to same and opposite-sided batters; inconsistent command; leaves it up where it can get hit, but still shows tumble regardless of location; SL 45 50 84 86 Slider showed mostly below average; could get to solid-average; flat; left over the plate; running theme of tightening up command; at its best shows two-plane break with late break to glove side; OVERALL I have seen the player make three consecutive starts. In the first look, the fastball velocity was well down from his usual range. The velocity returned in the second outing, hitting 97, but he had a thumb injury. No injuries or other reasons for a poor third start, so the grades are from that look. The player's struggled to make adjustments to professional baseball. I don't blame the tandem rotation, as he's been on extended rest in each of my looks, and he's started each of them rather than coming out of the bullpen. After each of the poor outings, the player never shows emotion when he's on the mound or when being pulled--just takes a seat in the dugout as if nothing happened. I don't mind players that don't wear their heart on their sleeve, but he pitches like it's a bullpen session where he just needs to get his work in, grooving in pitches with no purpose. It is worth noting that only one secondary offering would show up in each of his starts. Also, hitters did not have trouble squaring up his fastball whatsoever. That might always be the case because he just doesn't have deception in his delivery. But he does tip his offerings with his wrist placement; recommend keeping an eye on his stretch vs. windup splits. Right now, the player just doesn't look like the player he was drafted to be. I haven't seen anything to even consider he could be a no. 2 starter, or even more. I'm concerned more with how he pitches than what his fastball is registering on the radar gun. A back-end starter appears to be the realistic role based on my recent looks. 另外我比较常看到的是他lost command.. control is ok but no command.. 还有就是他的滑球不像大学时期那麽犀利了... 最有争议的或者说最特别的批评是他的makeup 他有绝佳的working ethic 但是他没有ace的poise 简单的说他太温了 就像是一个傻大个... 被干爆还是很平静 在投手丘上丢96 97 mph但是感觉不出他要压倒打者的气势 被换下场也不发火 静静的坐着.. 教练叫他做甚麽他就乖乖认真作 就这样 ㄜ...确实他和Castro都有蛮重书生气 不过这有差吗? 我也不知道... 我是觉得目前球团拉不下脸把他放回1A 也没决心把他拉到2A 但是让他在Lancaster一直爆炸也不是甚麽好办法就是了 要说不担心他才怪 ~.~" 不过担心也没屁用啊 现在又多一个Aiken ~.~""" -- 另外补个Aiken的消息 @Jaypers413 (IL) Do you have any doubts about the Astros’ ability to sign Aiken to a discounted deal? As the club isn’t speaking about it, what are you hearing about his elbow? Klaw Not hearing much, unfortunately; both sides are understandably tight-lipped. I did hear it’s not a ligament tear, though, just an irregularity in the elbow. The Astros can’t afford to not sign him – they’d be over their pool number, and unable to sign Jacob Nix – but if they can cut a big enough discount maybe they could sign Mac Marshall, the one signability guy they took after the 10th round. I’m guessing this gets done at a dollar figure neither side is truly happy about. --
