BA Prospect Hot Sheet http://tinyurl.com/3p7be2w Chat http://tinyurl.com/3pvwpbv
Chih-Hsien Chiang, RF, RED SOX
Team: Double-A Portland (Eastern)
Age: 23
Why He's Here:
.440/.462/1.120 (11-for-25), 7 R, 1 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 8 RBIs, 1 BB, 3 SO
The Scoop: The Red Sox are one of a handful of teams with a presence in
Taiwan, a growing source of baseball talent that has predominantly
produced pitchers rather than position players. Chiang could start to
change that, as he's showing the ability to hit for average and power with
a .316/.359/.646 line in 43 games that includes 10 home runs. Chiang is
still a free swinger but he has the hand-eye coordination and the raw
power to make his approach work for him right now, though scouts would
like to see him show more selectivity as he moves up through the system.
Eric M. Van (Boston): How excited should Sox fans be about Chih-Hsien
Chiang leading the EL in OPS and SA by big margins after not even being on
the prospect depth chart the last two years? (It's not, however, like no
one saw this coming, as his OPS splits by month last year were 397, 598,
726, 877, 944.) What exactly is his upside?
Ben Badler: The power is starting to come around, which is what's helped
him take a big step forward. He was an excellent hitter in high school,
but he's mostly been a gap to gap guy until this year. Realistically, the
most likely scenario is a backup outfielder, but I think he has the tools
to be a starter.
