http://tinyurl.com/3crdrd by Alex Eisenberg April 03, 2008 Brooks Brown RHSP | Arizona Diamondbacks (A+/AA) | Age - 22 | Drafted - Round 1 (Compensation), 2006 Brown is another pitcher without a lot of hype attached to his name. His fastball sits in the low-to-mid-90s with plenty of sink, and he has an above-average slider. Brown also has an aggressive "step-over move" that kickstarts a forceful hip rotation into foot plant; the step-over is another factor in generating velocity. On the left is Brown's curveball and on the right is his fastball. Keep in mind that both clips are from Brown's draft video, and they do not account for any adjustments he has made since. However, this will give you a good idea of the type of stuff he possesses: Brown是另一位低調的新秀。他的速球球速大約在90-95間，帶有一些下沉尾勁，另外他還 有一顆平均之上的滑球。他還有很好的"跨越"的動作，幫助他的轉腰更加有力。"跨越"是 球速的一個來源。 左邊的影片是Brown的曲球而右邊的影片是速球。要留意的是這兩段影片選秀測試時錄的 ，在這之後，無論Brown做了什麼修正都不會在這兩段影片上出現。即便如此，這影片還 是可以讓你對Brown的stuff有個初步的認識。 Mechanics Mechanically, Brown is solid all-around. Tempo is pretty good, arm action is short, and he firms up his glove while keeping it out in front of his chest. This helps in terms of control and limiting stress on his shoulder. Brown generates plenty of ground balls, with a GB% of 59% in Single-A Visalia; however, his rate did drop to 50% when he was promoted to Double-A Mobile. Brown has shown strong K rates and good control throughout his professional career, though the consistency of that control goes back and forth. Brown seems to suffer control problems as he adjusts to higher levels of competition before eventually settling down. It should also be noted that both Mobile and Visalia (especially Visalia) are parks that heavily favor hitters. Brown的Mechanics在各方面都很穩定。節奏很好、揮臂簡潔、還有手套有保持在胸前，幫 助他穩定控球並降低肩膀的負擔。 Brown製造了不少的滾地球。在Visalia時的GB%是59%，但到了Mobile時降到了50%。他有很 高的三振率和良好的控球，但控球有時不太穩定。Brown在適應高階聯盟時似乎有些控球問 題。 另外要注意的是Mobile和Visalia(特別是Visalia)是極端的打者天堂。 What's holding Brown back? A lot of talent evaluators see Brown as a power arm out of the bullpen. He does need to improve his change-up. His fastball and slider are good but not good enough to be the only two pitches that a starter can rely on. His control has shown to be solid in the past, but improvements are still necessary. Brown is viewed as a pretty safe bet to become a successful major league pitcher, but in what capacity I am not sure. Brown還有什麼障礙？ 大多數的球探認為Brown的天份會是強力的牛棚投手。變速球還要加強。速球和滑球不錯但 還不夠好到讓他可以只靠這兩個球路先發。 過去他的控球不錯，但還需要進步。Brown 看起來很有機會進入大聯盟，但我不確定他會 達到怎樣的成績。 Outlook The Diamondbacks will keep Brown at starter until he proves otherwise. He needs to show improved control and signs of an improved change-up. He has the upside of a workhorse No. 3/4, but he has to prove to doubters that he can remain a starter at the major league level. 響尾蛇隊目前會繼續把Brown當做先發來養。他需要發展出更好的變速球和控球。他的極限 是中段輪值的工作馬，但他需要證明他能在大聯盟等級的比賽先發。 --
