02. A.J. Cole, rhp Born: Jan. 5, 1992. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 180. Drafted: HS—Oviedo, Fla., 2010 (4th round). Signed by: Paul Tinnell. Background: The Nationals signed Cole for a fourth-round-record $2 million bonus in 2010, then traded him to Oakland in the Gio Gonzalez deal after the 2011 season. He spent one year with the Athletics, struggling in high Class A but dominating back in low A, then returned to the Nationals in the March 2013 Michael Morse deal. Cole’s stock soared after he earned a late-July promotion to Double-A Harrisburg and made seven strong starts, lasting at least six full innings in each of them. 背景： 2010年國民用破紀錄的第四輪簽約金2M簽下Cole，2011年季後把他交 易到奧克蘭換Gio Gonzalez。他在運動家系統待了一年，雖在A+投得 搖搖擺擺但降回A後又大殺四方。2013年三月時因Michael Morse交易 回到國民，七月底升上2A Harrisburg後振翅高飛，七次先發不但成 績漂亮而且每場都至少投滿六局。 Scouting Report: Cole pitches predominantly off his explosive fastball, which sits at 94-95 mph and regularly touches 97. His fastball command is solid, but it remains better to his arm side than his glove side. His second pitch is a fringe-average changeup that flashes plus when he maintains his arm speed. The biggest knock on Cole is his lack of a wipeout breaking ball, but he worked hard to tighten it up and add some power to it this year. Sometimes it looks like a short curveball, other times he gets on the side of it and it’s more of a slider. The shape and depth of the pitch are inconsistent, and so is the velocity, which ranges from 75-82 mph. 球探報告： Cole的主力武器是 94-95且經常上飆97的火球，他的速球控得很棒， 但右打者內角進壘點還是比左打者內角要好。第二球種是平均邊緣的 變速球，當他能保持揮臂速度時則能發揮得更優異。對於Cole最重要 的是他必殺變化球還不夠純熟，不過他今年相當努力練習，也多加快 了些這顆球種的速度。有時像小曲，其它時間用起來更像是滑球。變 化的銳利度與深度並不穩定，速度也是，從75-82都有。 The Future: Cole needs to refine his offspeed stuff, but he should get a shot in Triple-A in 2014. He could get a big league callup by season’s end and projects as a mid-rotation starter. 未來性： Cole得加強他的慢速變化球，但他2014年應有機會上到3A，也可能於 季末升到大聯盟。預計能成為輪值三號。 --
