Hong-Chih Kuo, 2006 The first Taiwanese high-schooler ever signed to a pro contract, Kuo has been sidelined by two Tommy John surgeries thus far, and through 2004 had been limited to 42.1 pro innings spread out over four years. Finally healthy, he was shifted to the bullpen. He pitched brilliantly at both Vero Beach and Jacksonville, posting eye-popping numbers that earned him a cup of coffee in September. He can bring it as high as 99 mph--rare velocity for a southpaw--and his repertoire includes both a breaking ball and a changeup. With no journeyman lefties standing in his way, he`ll compete for a spot in the big league bullpen this spring. Hong-Chih Kuo, 2007 Sidelined by two Tommy John surgeries and limited to 42 1/3 pro innings from 2001 to 2004, this Taiwanese native dazzled once he was healthy, lighting up radar guns with 99 MPH heat out of the bullpen, rare for a southpaw. He made the Dodgers out of spring training but struggled with his control, walking 24 in 27 1/3 innings while bouncing between the City of Angels and Sin City. In mid-July, he was converted back to starting at Triple-A, and the results were revelatory. Despite earning just one win after being recalled, he was arguably the team`s top starter in September (29 1/3 IP, 3.07 ERA, 35 K, 7 BB, 1 HR) and didn`t embarrass himself in his postseason start either. Stamina is his biggest issue; if he can increase his, he`s clearly got the stuff to succeed in the big leagues. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.84.29.27
