With their final selection in the first round, the Yankees selected left-handed pitcher Ian Clarkin out of James Madison High School in California. Clarkin was ranked 17th on Baseball America's Top 500 and 18th by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo. The 6'2", 190 pound lefty is committed to the University of San Diego, but the Yankees will try to entice him away from college. 洋基在第一輪最後選擇了來自James Madison High School左投的Ian Clarkin Baseball America評比為前500大新秀的第17名,MLB.com則認為他是第18 六尺2吋190磅的左投承諾了要去念San Diego大學,但是洋基會想辦法留住他 Jonathan Mayo says that Clarkin has some "now stuff" that may mean he could see time in the major leagues sooner rather than later. His 92-93 mph fastball, power curve, and changeup give him the potential to be a strong three-pitch pitcher going forward. During the draft, comparisons to Clayton Kershaw were being thrown around, which would make any baseball fan over the moon. Anything that makes a player your favorite team just drafted comparable to Kershaw is exciting. Jonathan Mayo認為他已經有了準備好的stuff,這表示不久後就可以在大聯盟看見他 92-93mph速球 強力曲球以及變化球使他有潛能朝擁有三種武器球的強投邁進 他的對照組是Clayton Kershaw,球迷聽了一定會欣喜若狂 可以選到和Clayton Kershaw作對比的球員進入你最愛的隊伍,誰聽了都會很高興的 Clarkin has a bit of an unorthodox delivery that aids him in hiding the ball, but causes him to work a little harder than he would have to with less of a leg kick. It makes it a little harder for Clarkin to repeat his delivery, which we've seen be a concern with the likes of Dellin Betances, but his curve is highly praised by all as being one of the best from high school pitchers in the draft. He has top-of-the-rotation potential, even though he was a bit inconsistent during his senior year of high school. Minor League Ball calls his breaking ball "unhittable at times", which is obviously promising. We will have a longer post up on Clarkin tomorrow. 他的投球姿勢有些非正統,這幫助了他的藏球,可是較小的踢腿動作也讓他必須更費力 這讓他在固定姿勢上較困難些,同樣的疑慮在Betances上也看的見 不過以一個最好之一的高中投手來說,大家對他的曲球都讚譽有加 Ian有前段輪值潛力,即使他在高三表現有點不穩定 Minor League Ball稱呼他的變化球 "有時根本打不倒 ",很顯然非常有前景 --
