A Kiss from a de la Rossa By Steven Schwartz on May 15th, 2009 at 12:18 am http://nyyankeesrumors.com/a-kiss-from-a-de-la-rossa/ I thought considering his recent promotion that it would be appropriate to look at Wilkins de la Rosa. I'm fairly sure that it's spelled that way, even though it has been seen from various sources as Wilkin and de la Rossa. De la Rosa was signed out of Santo Domingo, Dominican Repulic, but was signed as an outfielder. Despite reaching as high as Charleston, he could not hit, as shown by his .232 career average and .621 OPS. In 2005 the Yankees converted him to a pitcher and he has really shined since then. He started off as a 22-year old relief pitcher in the Gulf Coast League and was promoted to Charleston in 2008. After several impressive performances as a reliever the Yankees converted him once more, this time to a starting pitcher. He really was risen in the Yankees' eyes since then; he really destroyed Low-A ball in 『08 in his limited time. In 90.1 innings he had a 2.29 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, only 60 hits, 110 strikeouts, but an okay 3.99 BB/9. He would be promoted towards the end of the minor league season to High-A where he would allow only 2 ER in 16.1 innings. Despite the fact he had only been a pitcher for two seasons, he had to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason to avoid being Rule V draft eligible. This year he started at Tampa again (late due to injury though.) After breezing through them again (1.29 ERA in 3 starts) he was once again promoted to Double-A, where he has made two starts. Although it has been a small sample size, he has increased his K-rate thus far (33 in 25 innings) and decreased his walk-rate thus far (8 walks in 25 innings.) Want a scouting report, eh? John Sickels has one: De la Rosa has a 90-94 MPH fastball and has already developed an above average changeup. His slider is below average right now, but he's athletic and has good pitching aptitude, so it's expected the breaking ball will improve in time. I like de la Rosa's fresh arm and ability to push the radar. Oh, he throws with his left hand, so he should be around forever. Here are his career numbers. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/pitching/D/Wilkins-De-La-Rossa.shtml 這隻好像蠻贊的 之前在板上有看到介紹只是找不到了@@ 就是野手改投手蠻有趣的那隻 現在已經升到AA 還投出era:2.45 k/9:13.1 當然只有兩場不代表啥 不過說不定會坐雲宵飛車在年底上來 --
