Baseball America 选出 2004 年各小联盟的前 20 名新秀。 Appalachian League 是 Rookie 等级的联盟，双城旗下有 Elizabethton Twins。 3. KYLE WALDROP, rhp, Elizabethton Twins Age: 18 Ht: 6-5 Wt: 205 B-T: R-R Drafted/Signed: Twins '04 (1) W L ERA G SV IP H HR BB SO AVG 2 0 3.24 4 0 25.0 21 1 3 25 .221 Waldrop made just four Appy League starts after making seven in the Rookie- level Gulf Coast League, where he was that league's No. 4 prospect. He signed for $1 million as a first-round pick and impressed by recording at least six strikeouts in each one as he narrowly qualified for this list. The 6-foot-5 righthander threw three pitches for strikes: an 89-91 mph fastball, a tight breaking ball with bite and a solid changeup. Waldrop's secondary pitches lag behind his fastball for now, but all should be at least average. "He's going to be somebody to look out for," Bogar said. "He really knows how to pitch. A lot of 18-year-olds are just throwing it up there hoping they don't hit it. He has a plan." Waldrop also demonstrated the poise and work ethic of an older player, right down to precise record-keeping and good penmanship when charting teammates' pitches. --
