今天Prospect A to Z介绍的球员，是选进时还满令人期待，但这几年养成不尽理想的 Kyle Lobstein，一起来看看他的评价如何吧！ Kyle Lobstein was the Rays second-round pick in 2008 and received a signing bonus of $1 million, more for his projection than his current stuff. As a junior in high school, Lobstein was throwing in the 92-94 mph range but that dipped into the 80s as a senior. He's 6-3 and athletic, so there was good reason to think he'd able to regain the velocity and maintain it when he added strength, but that hasn't happened as a pro. 2008年选秀会上，Lobstein在第二轮被光芒选中，随後以100万签约金纳入农场系统。 大部分的预测都高於他目前的发展（简单说，目前发展不如预期。）。十一年级时， Lobstein的球速大约落在92-94 mph；过了一年却不到90 mph。但6'3"的身高，出色的运 动力，所以大多球探预期他在增重後，能重新找回球速，但这一切并没发生。 He debuted in 2009 with Hudson Valley where he struck out a batter per inning, but it wasn't due to an uptick in stuff. It's not uncommon for lefties with decent command and control like Lobstein to find success at the lower levels without a good fastball, and sure enough his K/9 has fallen from 9.1 in 2009 to 7.8 with Bowling Green and 6.5 in 2011, mainly with Charlotte. The good news is that he's been able to limit the walks, and his career strikeout-to-walk rate is 2.67. 2009年，他从A-开启了职业生涯，每局可以三振一位打者，但却不是因为能力的提升。 像Lobstein这种具备合格控球能力，却没有好的速球的左投手，在低阶联盟要取得成功并 不值得大惊小怪；在'10年升上A後，K/9也从前一年的9.1退步到7.8；到了'11年在A+只剩 6.5。好消息是他依然能够控制住保送次数，生涯的K/BB是2.67。 But with a fastball that's relatively straight without below-average velocity, it'll be tough to find sustained success at the upper levels. In 11 late-season innings with Montgomery, Lobstein allowed nine runs, including four home runs. He's been a flyball pitcher in his career, so the longball is always going to be a concern. 没有一颗水准之上球速的直球是很难在更高层级生存的。季末在AA出赛的11局中， Lobstein责失了9分，包括四发全垒打。职业生涯属於飞球型投手的他，每颗深远飞球都 会引人注目。 But I think there's still some hope here. He's still just 22 years old, still 6-3 and athletic, and has the ability to locate at least decently well. If he can get his fastball into even the 88-91 mph range while tightening up his command, he profiles as a back-end rotation pitcher. Of course, with the Rays glut of pitching, even if that happens he may be a reliever or a trade chip. Lobstein will be back in Montgomery to start the 2012 season, what sort of year do you see him having? 但我相信还是有希望的，22岁，6'3"，不错的运动力，合格的控球。如果球速可以提升 到88-91mph，同时把球投进刁钻的进垒点，还是有能力成为轮值末端的投手。当然，由於 光芒投手过剩，将他转成後援投手或做为交易筹码也是可行的。Lobstein '12年会从AA出 发，你觉得他明年表现如何呢？ --
