Adam Ravenelle Position: Right-handed Pitcher Date of Birth: 10/5/1992 Height/Weight: 6-3/195 Bats/Throws: Right/Right Acquired: 2014 MLB Draft, 4th Round Ranking History: N/A Background: The latest Tigers draft pick out of Vanderbilt, Ravenelle worked exclusively out of relief over his three years as a Commodore, posting a 1.56 ERA over 21 appearances in middle relief. 我們從Vanderbilt搜括來的最新農產品. 大學生涯三年都在牛棚. 有ERA1.56的好成績, 但總共只出賽21場?! Scouting Report Body: Long; lean; athletic; has added muscle since high school viewings; good shoulder width; tapers to waist; excellent pitcher's frame; likely won't change body much going forward. 完美的投手身材. 上大學後練了不少肌肉, 應該不會再增壯多少 Delivery/Mechanics: More compact and consistent than in high school; stays over his back foot longer during delivery; drives hard to the plate without losing angle; low-3/4 arm slot; arm keeps up with the body well; repeats delivery pretty well despite inexperience; athleticism is evident in how he delivers the ball and after finish; consistently extends through release. 高中時期的投球動作比較簡潔,固定 (video裡面看得很明顯) 低4分之 3的出手. 運動力十足讓Ravenelle可以複製投球動作跟出手. 就算以大學投手來說, 他還是相對 - 關鍵字(inexperience) Fastball: Sits comfortably at 92-94 mph; consistently reaches 95 and will touch 97 when he needs extra; ball comes out of his hand with ease and has a little deception as a result; good life on FB; has a little hop at the plate; velo plays down a tick over longer outings, sitting more 91-93 and touching 95; won'tadd considerable strength so velo likely to play at current level; will play to 93-94 and reach higher in short bursts; quality pitch. Grade - Present 5+/Future 6 看數字就滿讓人舒服的. 輕輕鬆鬆達到92 - 94 mph, 95 mph不是問題, 最快可以飆到97 且毫不費力. 先發時球速多在91-93, 極速95. 鑒於沒太多空間可以長肌肉. 球速就大概就是這樣. 仍然高於平均 Slider: Work in progress but making strides; doesn't always generate tight spin; pitch can get flat and sit in the middle of the zone when he doesn't stay on top of it; at its best, SL offers good two-plane movement that is short and sharp; shows plus potential and will likely be second quality offering in time. Grade - 4+/6 持續進步中, 還不夠穩定. 會是顆值得信賴的球種 Changeup: Very raw; lacks feel for pitch; balls comes out of the hand in inconsistent fashion; needs a lot of work; doesn't trust the grip; frequently over-throws and then comes back to compensate by slowing arm; rarely threw in college because of relief role; will need to develop as a professional if he is to move to the rotation; unable to grade at present due to lack of consistent use. Grade - NA/NA 幾乎不存在的球種….如果想當先發就得從頭好好練 Control/Command: Improving; throws strikes with consistency; shows aptitude for moving FB to both sides of the plate; can run it arm side and doesn't have any trouble pulling the pitch to the glove side; shows some ability to elevate when necessary; good control profile, particularly with overhauled and more consistent mechanics; control of SL is improving; command projection near average. 快速球控制能力不錯, 能自在的在好球帶兩側移動. 滑球則有機會到標準值 Other: Intelligent; works hard; remains confident and calm on the mound; quality makeup. 有腦袋(都讀名校了), 工作認真, 站在投手丘上有自信又沉穩. Final Word Summary: FB and SL can both develop and play to plus level in time; has delivery, strike throwing ability, and two present quality pitches that should allow a try in the rotation; CH will need to make significant strides to make it as a starter; SL may not miss bats consistently but will induce weak contact; smart kid; absorbs information/feedback rapidly. 快速球/滑球都是pus pitch. 變速球得花很大精力, 如果真想當先發養的話 Risk: Extreme risk; extremely inexperienced given college resume; needs considerable development regardless of future role. 極高風險, 以大學投手來說極度缺乏經驗. 需要好一段時間來磨 Projection: As a starter, could develop into #3/#4 starter; will take time to develop as a starter because of rudimentary CH and need to build stamina/strength for grind of starting rotation; needs starter innings to further develop, even if future role is in bullpen; as reliever, has setup ceiling and could move quickly. 當先發可能3/4號. (端看變速球養成) 當牛則有佈局投手的資質, 並快速往上爬 老虎很愛Vanderbilt的選手已經不是新聞 尤其Ravenelle又是身材高大的火球投手 球團已經確定會當先發養 這樣要上大聯盟應該是三年後 敬請耐心等待 --
