Kyle Drabek, RHP 2010 Rank: 17 Drafted: 2006, 1st (18) ETA in Majors: 2011 Statistically speaking: In July and August last season, Drabek had about as good a two-month stretch as a starting pitcher could have. The right-hander went 7-1 with a 1.92 ERA. He held hitters to a .173 average over 10 starts, striking out 60 in 61 innings, well above his career 7.5 K/9 ratio. Scouting report: Ever since high school, Drabek has gotten high marks for his curve ball, and that's still his best pitch -- a plus breaking ball, and one of the best in the Minors. His fastball is pretty darn good, too, and he can reach back for a little extra, up to 95-96 mph, when he needs to. His changeup still hasn't caught up to the other two pitches, but it's come a long way and will be an effective third pitch. He also will now wrinkle in a cutter here and there. He's a very good athlete and is a bulldog of a competitor on the mound. Upside potential: With the potential to have four usable pitches, Drabek has the chance to front a rotation some day. They said it: "It is exciting. Watch him grow up, then you're coaching their young teams and stuff, and to be here in this setting watching him start a new level of his career is pretty special." -- Former All-Star, and Kyle's father, Doug Drabek He said it: "It was a little weird. I didn't expect myself to be this relaxed. I was coming into it thinking I would be real nervous. So, it was a little different." -- after his Major League debut http://0rz.tw/2NzH1 --
