What does Flynn bring to the organization, and could his early success be a sign of things to come? 我们在11年选秀第6轮选择了这位左投大只佬，之後立刻跳级到West Michigan先发， 还投的不错，所以…从中能出些甚麽吗?? Brian Flynn http://zzb.bz/JyjUG Position: Left-handed Pitcher Height: 6-8 Weight: 240 Born: 4/19/1990 Bats: Left Throws: Left Background Flynn was a product of the vaunted Owasso (Okla.) High School baseball program that produced current Tigers prospect Matt Hoffman and former Tigers prospect Dallas Trahern, among a litany of other good prospects. Flynn跟目前在系统3A的左手牛Matt Hoffman还有前小联盟投手Dallas Trahern (米糕、D-Train交易配菜之一，因为打世界盃来过台湾)，出产自同所高中Owasso (Okla.) High School As a freshman at Wichita State - after turning down the Red Sox in the 18th round of the draft - Flynn posted a 4.98 ERA and 2-5 record working as the Shockers primary mid-week starter. He struck out 59 batters in 56 innings and big things were expected of him in 2010. Unfortunately, Flynn became the first player under head coach Gene Stephenson's tenure to be declared academically ineligible for a season. He missed the entire 2010 campaign but righted himself and returned to the field for the 2011 season. As a redshirt sophomore, Flynn appeared in 20 games (11 starts) and posted a 4.63 ERA and 6-4 record. He fanned 77 batters in 83 2/3 innings while allowing 79 hits and walking 39. 拒绝肥袜签约(当年18轮)之後，大一在Wichita State缴出ERA4.89、战绩2胜5败，56局 有59次三振，这样的成绩让人对他来年充满期待 结果隔年竟然因为学业问题无法出赛而GG了… 来到第三年，身为"redshirt"大二资格生，成绩：ERA4.63、战绩6胜4败，82.2局有77次 三振／39次保送，被打79支安打，投的只能说还可以，进步幅度不大。 The Tigers sent Flynn to West Michigan after he signed for $125,000 in the 7th round of the 2011 draft. He went 7-2 down the stretch for the Whitecaps, helping the team come within just a game of the Midwest League playoffs. He finished his pro debut with a 3.46 ERA in 67 2/3 innings with 58 hits allowed, 23 walks and 57 strikeouts. Flynn在第7轮选後拿到12万5千签约金，接着在Whitecaps先发出赛，短短的时间内拿下 7胜2败…(详细成绩请看原文，懒得再打一遍了XD)， Scouting Report Flynn has an extra large body that gives him an imposing presence when standing on the mound. He towers over opposing hitters and generates outstanding downward angle to the plate with his fastball. 在投手丘上Flynn显得非常巨大，看起来格外有威严，这个优势也显现在面对打者时他高人 一等的出手角度。 There's a lot of variety in Flynn's fastball, and not necessarily in a good way. During the first and second inning of his starts, he can routinely get up to 91-92 mph out of the windup. From the stretch, his peak velocity dips to 88-89 mph, and he loses even more after the second inning. In the latter innings of many starts, scouts reported seeing him work in the 86-88 range. Flynn的球速极度不稳定，投前2局可以飙到91-92 mph，接着一路下滑，有时甚至在第2局 就低到88 mph以下，大多数的先发到後段局数，快速球只剩86-88 range (太胖了…体力不好？！) Command of the fastball comes and goes for Flynn, but when he can locate down in the zone he can be extremely tough to elevate because of his outstanding angle to the plate. 当Flynn能控好他的快速球，就算球速不是顶级，凭藉如此高的出手角度，对打者来说仍 是场梦靥 Flynn will also throw a change-up and a slider during his starts, though neither shows much on a regular basis. His slider will flash as an average pitch occasionally with some solid downward action, while his change-up will show as average more frequently and it can be a weapon to help deter right-handed hitters. Flynn也会丢些变速球／滑球，目前是前者更能稳定的达到平均水准，可以拿来对付右打者 The nuances of pitching are still a bit of a mystery to Flynn. He doesn't have a reliable pickoff move that can deceive runners and as a result, he struggles to help his catcher control the running game. He is awkward getting off the mound and will require significant work in fielding his position and knowing his responsibilities as a defender. 除了投球之外的比赛部分对Flynn来说有如百慕达三角洲般神秘又令人畏惧，身为左投， 却完全无法有效地看管一垒上跑者，他的守备移位、传球都令人不卒忍睹，一切都得重新 再教育！！ Because of his youth and inexperience as a pro, some scouts still dream on Flynn's huge frame and the flashes of quality stuff. There is a faint window where he could become a solid 4th or 5th starter. There exists another cadre of scouts that firmly believe Flynn is a reliever right now and in the future and he would be better served spending his developmental time focusing there. In the end, Flynn is likely a situational reliever or possibly a 6th or 7th inning guy. His stuff may show better in shorter stints and he may have an opportunity to accentuate his best attributes. 有些球探因为Flynn的肉体跟偶尔乍现的好球而对他多有幻想，也许…只是也许…哪天他 能成为四五号先发，但现在看来牛棚会是他最好的归宿。 Performance http://zzb.bz/JyjUG Level Team W-L ERA G GS SV SO BB IP WHIP A West Mich. 7-2 3.46 13 13 0 57 23 67.2 1.20 Health Record Flynn has not had significant injury throughout his college or pro career. As mentioned, he saw no game action in 2010 at Wichita State, and as a result, his arm may be fresher than your typical three-year college pitcher. 大学至今Flynn还未经历任何重大伤痛，另外，2010在大学他整季未出赛，也许他的手臂 比一班大学投手要更"新鲜"一点 The Future Reports received indicate the Tigers remain undecided as to where Flynn will land for the 2012 season. He has logged nearly 70 innings in Low-A already and could be ready for a shot at the High-A Florida State League in the spring. 路透社指出，球团目前还无法决定Flynn在新球季的定位与规划，凭藉他已在1A吃了近 70局，也许A+开季开季是比较合理的推测 Flynn is definitely a developmental project for the Tigers but the payoff could be a unique back of the rotation starter if it all comes together. Flynn需要球团花时间好好去培养，哪天养成了，5号先发又多一个有力人选 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
