05. Robbie Ray, lhp Born: Oct. 1, 1991. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 170. Drafted: HS—Brentwood, Tenn., 2010 (12th round). Signed by: Paul Faulk. Background: Ray first made a name for himself by flashing mid-90s heat on the high school showcase circuit, but he pitched mostly in the 87-91 mph range over his first three pro seasons. But his velocity jumped in 2013, and his prospect status jumped with it. He ranked as the No. 16 prospect in the high Class A Carolina League, and he more than held his own as a 21-year-old in the Double-A Eastern League following a midseason promotion. 背景： Ray 是以高中巡迴賽時投出mid-90的速球成名，但他頭三個職業球季 通常落在 87-91。球速在2013年躍升也藉此拉高新秀等級。在A+聯盟 Carolina League排名16，今年21歲的他年中升到2A也能穩定表現。 Scouting Report: Ray attacks hitters primarily with his heater, which ranges from 91-96 mph, averaging about 93. His arm still drags at times, causing his release point and command to be inconsistent, but he is a good athlete with a loose arm, prompting scouts to project his command as at least average. His changeup came along nicely in 2013, showing flashes of being a slightly above-average pitch in the low 80s. He throws a short slurve that ranges from 74-79 mph, and too many of them are tumblers with loose spin, rating as 35 pitches. His best ones are average, but the pitch still has a long way to go. 球探報告： Ray主攻打者靠的是速度91-96，平均約93的火球。他的手臂動作有時 不算順暢，影響到出手點及控球無法固定，但他有很好的能力控制上 臂，使球探看好他控球至少可達到平均等級。今年變速球感覺不賴， 略高於平均，速度約 low-80。少量使用的滑曲球速度有74-79，因為 多數變化球都需要運用旋轉，35球是有效用量。最好的武器都有平均 水準，但還很有得練。 The Future: Ray’s plus fastball, athleticism and durable frame give him a chance to be a mid-rotation starter if he can develop his breaking ball. That remains a significant question mark, but he’ll continue to work on the pitch as a 22-year-old in Double-A next year. 未來性： Ray 的運動能力與耐力加上夠棒快速球能幫助他站穩中間輪值，只要 他精進自己的變化球。這是最主要的問題，明年22歲的他會持續在2A 努力。 --
