by John Sickels http://ppt.cc/UsCD The Los Angeles Angels promoted left-handed pitching Nick Maronde to the major league team for the stretch run. He's been excellent in his first two outings, facing four major league hitters and striking out all four of them. This caps an outstanding season for the 23-year-old lefty. 把他call上來囉~ He began the season with Inland Empire in the High-A California League, posting a 1.82 ERA in 10 starts with a 60/14 K/BB ratio in 59 innings, allowing just 40 hits. He lost a few weeks of pitching time with a lateral strain, but showed no ill effects on his return. Promoted to Double-A Arkansas in the Texas League, he posted a 3.34 ERA with a 21/3 K/BB in 32 innings. 在A+ 1.82 ERA 10GS 59innings 60/14 K/BB 40H 有短暫受傷過 AA 3.34 32 21/3 Overall, between High-A, Double-A, and a few rookie ball rehab innings, Maronde went 6-4, 2.26 this year with a 90/19 K/BB in 100 innings, allowing just 82 hits. 今年在Minor (R+A+AA) 總計 2.26 ERA 100 (99.2 actually) innings 90/19 K/BB Maronde is a 6-3, 205 pound lefty, born September 5th, 1989. He began his college career as a starter at the University of Florida in 2009, but moved to the bullpen in '10 and struggled. He made huge improvements in his control in '11, posting a 2.09 ERA with a 55/9 K/BB in 43 innings with 27 hits allowed, which was enough to get drafted in the third round last June. The Angels returned him to starting and so far he's handling the workload well, strained lat aside. 個人簡介：身高6-3 體重 205磅 09/05/89生 09年在佛羅里達以SP亮相 但隔年被轉到牛棚並投的很掙扎。但是他的控球在11年有巨大的進步，並在此年 留下 2.09 ERA 55/9 K/BB 的成績，讓他在六月可以在第三輪被挑中。 天使把他轉回先發的角色，他目前也適應的很好。 He works with a low-to-mid-90s fastball (generally 91-94), a plus slider, and a changeup that has improved over the last year, although he hasn't shown it in the majors yet. He's got ideal pitcher size, throws strikes, and deserves a lot more attention than he's received. I had him rated as a B- pre-season but he's a solid Grade B now. FB low-to-mid 90 (91-94)，plus的slider，change up在去年有進步， 不過Maronde還沒有在Major展示過這些武器。他的身材，投球都很理想，並且 應該獲得更多的注意（我們美西沒人愛啊= 3=) 我季前給他B-的評價，不過他現在是貨真價實的B了。 Although he's being used in relief in September, I think he has a future as a starter in the long run, projecting as a number three type if the changeup continues to show progress. 儘管他在9月是以RP的角色上場，但我想他未來應該還是已SP為主。 如果他的Changeup可以在進步他會是個三號。 -- ╔═══╗═══╗═══╗═══╗═╗═╗ ║nycten║voy █║███║◢█◣║█▄█║　‧ ██ ‧ ╚ ◢◤ ╝╗█╔╝ ◢◤ ╝█▋█║███║ ◥ → ██ → ◤ ║█▅▅║███║█▅▅║◥█◤║███║(█\ /█\ ●〃 /█) ╚═══╝═══╝═══╝═══╝═══╝／│..●〃 └ ＼/ “● ...∠｜ --
