Buehrle>Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 #117 on BA's draft board. 7-4 3.04 ERA. Was a reliever up until this year. Perfect game has his fastball at 87 mph, but probably very old report. Meh pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsiskel Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) BA Scouting report: "Erwin is the top pitching prospect on a talented Clemson squad that includes pro prospects all over the diamond. At his best, Erwin will show the potential for three above-average pitches. His fastball can bump 92 mph, but operates mostly at 88-90. Erwin commands his fastball well to his arm side, with the ability to go up and down the zone, and he can also hit the zone down and to his glove side. His best secondary pitch is his curveball, which projects as an above-average pitch. When Erwin is on top of it, the offering shows 1-to-7 break and consistently tight spin. His third pitch is a split-finger changeup, which he can pound down and to both sides of the plate. The change shows late fade and tumble, and is a swing-and-miss pitch when Erwin buries it at the knees, though he can hang it at times. Erwin is an outstanding athlete, with a well-coordinated stride and excellent balance. He uses his torso well, and gets outstanding extension towards the plate, allowing his stuff to jump on hitters."

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I don't know what it is about the MLB draft that gets me so giddy and hopeful. 75-80% of these dudes are going to bust/flameout/etc. Yet there's this overwhelming feeling of hopefulness/excitement that comes over me during the course of these three days.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Smells of Jace Fry Jace Fry is much better. Erwin is a projectable lefty. It's fine. Probably under slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsiskel Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 More on Erwin from The Augusta Chronicle: (link: http://chronicle.augusta.com/content/blog-...player-reports) "Clemson Jr. LHP Zack Erwin: Among a stable of projectable left-handers on Clemson's staff, Erwin is the leader of that group. He's incredibly long and full of projection, and it's tantalizing coming from the left side. His fastball was 86-90 with good tailing action and arm-side life. He doesn't go inside with as much confidence as Crownover, but he's capable of working both sides enough. Coming from a three-quarters slot and solid extension at 90 on the outer half is tough to hit. Erwin's curveball was 73-75 with good two-plane action, and very good late bite for the velocity. The depth isn't as strong as Crownover's, but it comes at a different shape from a lower slot. Erwin will get under his breaking balls at times by dropping his arm slot, and he can also cut his finish short and leave the ball up. But the delivery is clean for the most part. He throws a tighter breaking ball at 81-83 that looks like a slider. It's basically the same shape and depth but at more velo, so you could call it a change-of-pace breaking ball. I never saw a changeup from Erwin, so the two breaking balls feed off each other as a change of pace. Erwin should probably work on adding a touch of extension and finish more consistently to keep the arm slot up, but the framework is there for a projectable starting pitcher who could add a tick or two of velo and have three solid pitches."

Feeky Magee Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) Fry was way, way more dominant though, fwiw. Fry didn't have any year with a K:BB ratio nearly as good as Erwin's 5.75 last year. Best years (both final years): Fry - 7.33 K/9 2.24 BB/9 Erwin - 7.76 K/9 1.35 BB/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
