http://tinyurl.com/3crdrd by Alex Eisenberg April 03, 2008 Brooks Brown RHSP | Arizona Diamondbacks (A+/AA) | Age - 22 | Drafted - Round 1 (Compensation), 2006 Brown is another pitcher without a lot of hype attached to his name. His fastball sits in the low-to-mid-90s with plenty of sink, and he has an above-average slider. Brown also has an aggressive "step-over move" that kickstarts a forceful hip rotation into foot plant; the step-over is another factor in generating velocity. On the left is Brown's curveball and on the right is his fastball. Keep in mind that both clips are from Brown's draft video, and they do not account for any adjustments he has made since. However, this will give you a good idea of the type of stuff he possesses: Brown是另一位低调的新秀。他的速球球速大约在90-95间，带有一些下沉尾劲，另外他还 有一颗平均之上的滑球。他还有很好的"跨越"的动作，帮助他的转腰更加有力。"跨越"是 球速的一个来源。 左边的影片是Brown的曲球而右边的影片是速球。要留意的是这两段影片选秀测试时录的 ，在这之後，无论Brown做了什麽修正都不会在这两段影片上出现。即便如此，这影片还 是可以让你对Brown的stuff有个初步的认识。 Mechanics Mechanically, Brown is solid all-around. Tempo is pretty good, arm action is short, and he firms up his glove while keeping it out in front of his chest. This helps in terms of control and limiting stress on his shoulder. Brown generates plenty of ground balls, with a GB% of 59% in Single-A Visalia; however, his rate did drop to 50% when he was promoted to Double-A Mobile. Brown has shown strong K rates and good control throughout his professional career, though the consistency of that control goes back and forth. Brown seems to suffer control problems as he adjusts to higher levels of competition before eventually settling down. It should also be noted that both Mobile and Visalia (especially Visalia) are parks that heavily favor hitters. Brown的Mechanics在各方面都很稳定。节奏很好、挥臂简洁、还有手套有保持在胸前，帮 助他稳定控球并降低肩膀的负担。 Brown制造了不少的滚地球。在Visalia时的GB%是59%，但到了Mobile时降到了50%。他有很 高的三振率和良好的控球，但控球有时不太稳定。Brown在适应高阶联盟时似乎有些控球问 题。 另外要注意的是Mobile和Visalia(特别是Visalia)是极端的打者天堂。 What's holding Brown back? A lot of talent evaluators see Brown as a power arm out of the bullpen. He does need to improve his change-up. His fastball and slider are good but not good enough to be the only two pitches that a starter can rely on. His control has shown to be solid in the past, but improvements are still necessary. Brown is viewed as a pretty safe bet to become a successful major league pitcher, but in what capacity I am not sure. Brown还有什麽障碍？ 大多数的球探认为Brown的天份会是强力的牛棚投手。变速球还要加强。速球和滑球不错但 还不够好到让他可以只靠这两个球路先发。 过去他的控球不错，但还需要进步。Brown 看起来很有机会进入大联盟，但我不确定他会 达到怎样的成绩。 Outlook The Diamondbacks will keep Brown at starter until he proves otherwise. He needs to show improved control and signs of an improved change-up. He has the upside of a workhorse No. 3/4, but he has to prove to doubters that he can remain a starter at the major league level. 响尾蛇队目前会继续把Brown当做先发来养。他需要发展出更好的变速球和控球。他的极限 是中段轮值的工作马，但他需要证明他能在大联盟等级的比赛先发。 --
