Minor League Prospect Report: Justin Grimm, RHP, Texas Rangers A reader asked me for my take on Texas Rangers pitching prospect Justin Grimm, who made two major league starts and a relief outing back in June for the big-league team. Grimm threw 10 innings for the Rangers, allowing 17 hits and 12 runs (10.80 ERA) with a 10/3 K/BB ratio, but that was somewhat deceptive: he pitched well in his first start against the Astros on June 16th (six innings, three runs, seven strikeouts), but was crushed by the Detroit Tigers in a subsequent start, then by the White Sox in a relief outing. Justin Grimm 今年在大联盟留下 10局 10.80ERA 17安的糟糕成绩 但其实数据是会骗人的: 他在第一场比赛中交出QS ( 6局失3分 7K ) 只是接下来对老虎的先发及白袜的中继接连爆炸 He has had a good year in the minors, posting a 1.80 ERA with a 68/14 K/BB in 80 innings for Double-A Frisco, and a 4.59 ERA with a 30/16 K/BB in 51 innings for Triple-A Round Rock. Overall, he's 10-6, 2.89 ERA with a 98/30 K/BB in 131 minor league innings this year, with 120 hits and just five homers allowed. 他今年在小联盟留下好成绩 10-6 2.89ERA 131局送出98K 30BB 仅仅被轰5发HR Grimm is a 6-3, 195 pound right-hander, born August 16th, 1988. Drafted in the fifth round in 2010 from the University of Georgia, he was inconsistent and often ineffective in college, but the Rangers liked his stuff and felt his problems were fixable. He performed quite well in '11 (3.39 ERA, 127/48 K/BB in 141 innings in A-ball, 129 hits, just seven homers) and has maintained that this year. The improvement from college is attributed to more consistent mechanics and a better changeup. Grimm 是条子在2010年第五轮选中的右投 他在大学的比赛中有不太稳定、常失去效率的问题 但条子看中了他的 stuff 相信他投球上的问题是可以解决的 他去年与今年都在小联盟交出好成绩 这归功於更一致的投球机制与更好的 changeup Stuff has never been the issue: Grimm's fastball can hit 96 MPH and averages 92. Scouts also like his curveball, rating it a plus pitch, and his changeup, while still inconsistent, is much better than it used to be. He is very athletic, an attribute which should help him stay healthy, especially with his improved mechanics. Stuff 从来不是 Grimm 的问题: 他有均速92 MPH 最快可以到96 MPH 的速球 他的 curveball 受到球探的喜爱 被评价为 plus pitch 他的 changeup 还不太稳定 但已经比过去进步许多 他的运动能力很好 使他不容易受伤 特别是在他投球机制改善之後 Grimm's three-pitch mix and ability to throw strikes could make him a nice number three starter. He could also thrive in a relief role if the Rangers choose to go that route. I had him as a Grade B- pre-season and that still seems reasonable, with some chance for a straight B. Grimm 有三种球路可以灵活运用 也有能力投进好球带 让他有成为一个三号先发的可能 如果条子愿意 他也能在牛棚的角色上成长茁壮 季前他拿到B-的评价 现在看来还是非常合理的 同时他也有进一步得到评价B的机会 来源:http://www.minorleagueball.com 发表时间: Aug 31,2012 --
