第二輪Williams Jerez - 美國職棒

BA排名#53

53. Williams Jerez, of

Grand Street HS, Brooklyn

Jerez moved from the Dominican Republic with his father two years ago. He

originally drew interest as a lefthander, but he has more potential as a

center fielder and has generated a lot of buzz this spring after playing in

Florida for Hank's Yanks, a team sponsored by Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner.

Jerez's 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame is what one scout described

as "about as good a body as you could imagine." He has a wiry strong build

and should add bulk as he matures. He has average raw power, with loft and

leverage in his swing, which has a tendency to get long. Some scouts worry

how he will fare against premium velocity, but his bat speed has improved

even since March. Jerez has a plus arm and plus speed, but it doesn't play

down the line because he's slow out of the batter's box. There's no consensus

on Jerez: Some scouts question his background and age and don't like his bat,

while others project on his raw tools and athleticism.

這個小朋友滿有趣的,本來兩年前在多明尼加就要被簽走了,不過他老爸想要他當打者

所以去美國了
