Scouting Report: Baseball America's reigning Summer Player of the Year, Minor vaulted into first-round consideration with a dominant performance for USA Baseball's college national team, including two victories against Cuba. BA本屆的年度夏季球員(應該是指去年夏天?)，憑藉著他在美國大學國家隊主宰性的 表現，包括對古巴的兩場勝投，使Minor的身價上漲，成為第一輪的熱門人選。 Minor could be the third lefthander drafted in the first round out of Vanderbilt in the last six years, and he's more Jeremy Sowers than David Price. Like Sowers, Minor has more pitchability than stuff, with a fastball in the 86-89 mph range and a plus changeup that grades as his best pitch. His other strongest attribute could be his pickoff move, a weapon he broke out repeatedly against Cuba last summer. Minor's future may depend on his breaking stuff. Minor可能會是Vanderbilt大學在近六年內第三個在第一輪被選中的左投，而比起David Price，他更接近Jeremy Sowers。如同Sowers，Minor解讀比賽的投球能力勝於他的整體 球威，快速球約在86-89mph的範圍，且有顆plus的變速球被視為他的最佳武器。他另一個 強項可能是他的牽制動作，在去年夏天面對古巴時，重複地讓他們措手不及的一樣武器， 而Minor的未來性得取決於他的變化球種發展。 He formerly threw a slider as his primary breaking ball, and at times it was an above-average pitch with depth. He showed he could throw the pitch for strikes or bury it. Minor added a solid curveball this fall and threw four pitches for strikes this spring, but some scouts think the curve has sapped some of the life off the rest of his offerings. 他之前都丟滑球作為他的主要變化球種，且在當時是顆高於平均並帶著落差幅度的球種， 他展現出能夠把滑球丟進好球袋也能做為吊球的能耐。Minor在去年秋天增加了一顆不錯 的曲球，今年春天也已能把四種球路都丟進好球袋，但某些球探認為他的曲球在送球過程 的最尾段時，球路的威力已經減弱。 Vanderbilt's catching problems—at one point they used a fourth-string catcher due to injuries—also limited Minor's repertoire, making him hesitant to throw his breaking balls as chase pitches. Minor will be all over draft boards in June,and could go anywhere from the first half of the first round to the back half of the second. Vanderbilt大學的捕手在某段期間內也出現了問題，因為傷兵，使得他們啟用到第四線的 捕手，也限制了Minor的投球技能，使得他在丟變化球種作為決勝球上產生猶豫。Minor將 會在六月的選秀上成為注目焦點，而他最後的落點，可能會座落在第一輪前段到第二輪末 段之間。 --
