Scouting Notes: Nathan Baker, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates
With the 2011 season rapidly approaching and me falling behind with reports, I’m going to start using my game notes for posts in an effort to release all remaining reports and video from the 2010 season promptly. First up in Pirates left-hander Nathan Baker.
Scouting Report: Evan Chambers, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates
Pirates centerfield prospect Evan Chambers may be the hardest player to peg in the entire South Atlantic League. With a .236/.380/.387 line including twenty-four stolen bases, he is a player who continues to struggle finding the right balance of patience and aggression at the plate. With over 700 professional plate appearances yielding identical results, is the current version of Evan Chambers the most Pirates prospect followers can hope for?
Scouting Report: Jarek Cunningham, 3B, Pittsburgh Pirates
A fast riser entering the 2009 season, a nasty knee injury ended Jarek Cunningham’s coming out party before it started. The 2010 season has been a mixed bag with solid power numbers combined with a poor K/BB ratio which has raised red flags. At twenty, Cunningham is achieving moderate success at an age appropriate level, but is he a true prospect? In a system short on premium talent, Cunningham’s sweet swing should place him amongst Pittsburgh’s more projectable prospects.
