02. A.J. Cole, rhp Born: Jan. 5, 1992. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 180. Drafted: HS—Oviedo, Fla., 2010 (4th round). Signed by: Paul Tinnell. Background: The Nationals signed Cole for a fourth-round-record $2 million bonus in 2010, then traded him to Oakland in the Gio Gonzalez deal after the 2011 season. He spent one year with the Athletics, struggling in high Class A but dominating back in low A, then returned to the Nationals in the March 2013 Michael Morse deal. Cole’s stock soared after he earned a late-July promotion to Double-A Harrisburg and made seven strong starts, lasting at least six full innings in each of them. 背景： 2010年国民用破纪录的第四轮签约金2M签下Cole，2011年季後把他交 易到奥克兰换Gio Gonzalez。他在运动家系统待了一年，虽在A+投得 摇摇摆摆但降回A後又大杀四方。2013年三月时因Michael Morse交易 回到国民，七月底升上2A Harrisburg後振翅高飞，七次先发不但成 绩漂亮而且每场都至少投满六局。 Scouting Report: Cole pitches predominantly off his explosive fastball, which sits at 94-95 mph and regularly touches 97. His fastball command is solid, but it remains better to his arm side than his glove side. His second pitch is a fringe-average changeup that flashes plus when he maintains his arm speed. The biggest knock on Cole is his lack of a wipeout breaking ball, but he worked hard to tighten it up and add some power to it this year. Sometimes it looks like a short curveball, other times he gets on the side of it and it’s more of a slider. The shape and depth of the pitch are inconsistent, and so is the velocity, which ranges from 75-82 mph. 球探报告： Cole的主力武器是 94-95且经常上飙97的火球，他的速球控得很棒， 但右打者内角进垒点还是比左打者内角要好。第二球种是平均边缘的 变速球，当他能保持挥臂速度时则能发挥得更优异。对於Cole最重要 的是他必杀变化球还不够纯熟，不过他今年相当努力练习，也多加快 了些这颗球种的速度。有时像小曲，其它时间用起来更像是滑球。变 化的锐利度与深度并不稳定，速度也是，从75-82都有。 The Future: Cole needs to refine his offspeed stuff, but he should get a shot in Triple-A in 2014. He could get a big league callup by season’s end and projects as a mid-rotation starter. 未来性： Cole得加强他的慢速变化球，但他2014年应有机会上到3A，也可能於 季末升到大联盟。预计能成为轮值三号。 --
