這是在金鳥網站上的Scouting Report，加減看看吧。
Editor’s Note:
Earlier today, news broke that the Orioles were “working hard“
to get a deal done with Japanese pitcher Chen Wei-Yin. Don published a
scouting report in a previous post, but I wanted to post this on its own, too.
Chen Wei-Yin has a game that has slowly built on command and locating pitches.
He shows the ability to throw a curveball, splitter/forkball, change up, and
a fastball that will likely sit in the 89-90 mph range in the major leagues.
Mechanically, Wei-Yin shows little to no issues that would pose injury issues
in the future.
His fastball showed some movement when I saw him in 2009 and something the
reports say wavers back and forth; at its best it has late action that is
tough to square up on. He shows pitchability and works the entire plate, and
both sides equally against right handed and left handed batting.
Mechanically, he shows little to no issues that would pose command or injury
issues in the future. He requires no posting fee to sign and will not
command nearly as large of a contract as his counterparts.
He is left handed and could be a useful bullpen pitcher if the starter
role does not fit well. Compensation would justify moving him to the
bullpen similarly to Koji Uehara.
Other teams might strictly indicate he is a bullpen arm and a team
willing to give him a shot in the rotation might have a leg up in signing him.
Wei-Yin does a poor job hiding the ball in his delivery and it might pose a
problem against quality hitting that can sit on the off-speed stuff and still
catch up to his offerings.
He needs his pitches to move constantly because his stuff cannot live with
straight as an arrow life. I witnessed a lot of the ball riding high in the
zone a few years back and he cannot live in that fashion and have success in
an AL park, even though recent reports indicate he is working lower in the
zone on a constant basis.
Wei-Yin faces the same uphill battles as every other Asian pitcher making his
way from the NPB.
沒講到什麼，倒是老米不覺得他丟的是滑球...XD
