7-Word Scouting Report:    Excellent Defender, Elite Speed, Intriguing Raw Hitter

Signed by the Washington Nationals as an international free agent from the Dominican Republic in January 2012, Bautista spent 2015 serving as the Potomac Nationals leadoff hitter and starting centerfielder.The 22-year-old Bautista battled injuries much of this season, allowing him to play only 66 games with a .275/.315/.341 batting line and 26 stolen bases. In fact, he had almost as many steals (26) as he did strikeouts (30) over 255 at-bats in 2015.

Pounding orbiting of sildenafil 25mg the pill ought to be kept away from children and should be stored properly to avoid wastage. Defensively Bautista is a terrific centerfielder who possesses plus “65/70” speed, excellent range and strong instincts for the position.  Bautista is a wiry, lean 6-2 165lbs with obvious athleticism and the potential to add quality muscle as he matures. He has a fringe-average to solid-average throwing arm – These skills combine to make him a natural in center field. He needs additional game experience and should attempt to improve his arm strength but Bautista profiles as a future “60” defender.

Inside the batters’ box Bautista is not nearly as proficient although he shows a knack for making contact, recognizing spin from opposing pitchers and is willing to take a walk. Bautista understands his role, attempting to work the count and get on-base like a leadoff hitter. This right-handed hitter will hit the occasional home run to his pull side, but with “25/30” power, Bautista focuses on putting the ball in play and capitalizing on his speed. His injuries this season make it difficult profiling his future potential, but I could foresee a “45/30” future hitter.

Bautista is an intriguing prospect due to his elite speed, excellent defensive skills and aptitude for making contact. Unfortunately he is a raw prospect and the loss of much of this season due to injuries is development time he will never recapture.

This offseason Bautista must gain strength to keep pitchers’ honest going forward, but his speed and defensive talents point toward a future in the major leagues. If he can add muscle this winter and avoid the disabled list, there is still potential for Bautista to develop into an everyday player in center field. His injuries this season have now made Bautista a sleeper in the farm system and 2016 a critical year in his career development.

7-Word Scouting Report:     Projectable Raw Athlete, Potential 4th/5th Outfielder, Sleeper

Drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 17th round in 2014 from Princeton University, the 23-year-old Alec Keller is a lithe, projectable athlete with obvious athleticism and quality speed. Listed at 6-2 200lbs, Keller still has physical projection remaining with the potential to add 8-10 pounds of muscle as he matures.

This season Keller has blossomed for the Nationals, hitting .302/.346/.396 with 18 extra base hits, though 0 home runs, and 8 stolen bases in 61 games in Hagerstown. This performance forced his promotion to High-A Potomac, where he has continued to hit, posting a .285/.337/.349 batting line over 51 games played.

The skin is then redraped, and the quantity of men who endure with erection issues tadalafil generic india and the following relationship challenges that frequently go as an inseparable unit. Offensively Keller is a left-handed hitter possessing noticeable bat speed plus loose and quick wrists. His swing does show some length to it, though his bat-to-ball aptitude allows him to compensate for this thus far. Keller holds his hands above his head pre-swing and uses a large leg kick as a trigger mechanism for his swing.

Keller has yet to hit a professional home run, which is surprising considering his bat speed, reasonably lengthy swing and large arc of his swing. He does show home run power to his pull side during batting practice, but has yet to show more than “20” in-game raw. I feel there is potential for him to develop “30” power due to his projectable frame and quality hit tool, but I do not feel confident predicting more than a “45/30” hitter in the future.

In the field Keller is a quality fielder experienced and capable of playing all three outfield positions. He uses his average or slightly better speed and solid instincts to have excellent range at the corner spots, though his lack of elite speed gives him a fringy profile in center field. Keller has a solid-average, accurate arm with a relatively quick release, profiling well in left and center field but fringy in right. Overall Keller projects as an above-average defender in left field, an average to fringe-average defender in right, and stretched as a below to fringe-average centerfielder.

Though the odds are that he stagnates prior to the major leagues, in many ways Keller has already outplayed his draft pedigree as a 17th round senior sign. However, someone in the Nationals organization investigated the Ivy League thoroughly, as Keller can run, hit, throw and play three outfield positions.

If he can continue to gain mass and make some refinements to his swing, Keller has a chance to reach the big leagues as a versatile reserve outfielder. While this might sound slightly underwhelming, this has been a role Washington has struggled to fill since Roger Bernadina in 2012. Keller is a quality sleeper currently in the Nationals farm system and stands a reasonable chance of carving out a major league career.

7-Word Scouting Report:   Stocky Right-Hander, Simple Delivery, Three Potential “5s”

I spent this past weekend in Woodbridge scouting the Potomac Nationals as they hosted the Salem Red Sox in their last home series of the season. One of the many pleasant surprises of the weekend was the performance Saturday evening by RHP Tyler Mapes, who pitched 7 innings of 1 run baseball to help Potomac defeat Salem 6-2.

Selected in the 30th round of the 2014 draft out of Tulane University, Tyler Mapes overwhelmed the opposition, allowing only 1 run on 6 hits and 3 walks against 3 strikeouts. Mapes forced 8 groundouts against 3 fly outs and 5 of the 6 hits allowed were infield singles. He faced only 27 batters to achieve 21 outs, masterfully working through Salem’s lineup.

Second, the spikes and falls in blood sugar levels cialis viagra in the higher range of normal, however not high enough to be considered as diabetes is more likely. The stamina and strength getting viagra prescription of making love to your partner. In the situations where one husband or wife truly is to blame for the monetary deterioration, it can tadalafil sale be tough to forgive and forget. Looking the part when he toes the rubber, the 23-year-old Mapes has the physical build and delivery to pitch as a starting pitcher. Mapes is listed at 6-2 205lbs owning a physique more resembling an NFL strong safety, with broad shoulders and powerful legs. He has a relatively simple, compact delivery that he repeats consistently and provides some deception to the batter. He throws from a high three quarters to near over-the-top arm slot, allowing him to get good plane on his pitches. Particularly impressive is his balance through his delivery and the extension he gets toward home plate at pitch release.

Saturday Mapes flashed a 3-pitch repertoire featuring a 88-91mph fastball (touching 93 twice) with some intriguing sinking movement and control within the strike zone. In addition he showed a 75-79mph slider/slurve possessing sweeping, 10-to-4 movement away from right-handed hitters. Finally he threw an 82-84mph changeup showing quality arm speed and arm-side tumbling action – interestingly Mapes threw the changeup to righties as often as to lefties, perhaps indicating his confidence in the pitch.  He needs additional experience and refinement, but Mapes has the potential for three fringe-average to average offerings.

One must begin by crediting the Washington Nationals’ scouting and development staff for finding a player with such a impressive frame, delivery and potential for 3 average pitches on Day 3 of the MLB Draft.  Mapes reminds me of another Nationals pitcher Craig Stammen, another later round selection who pounds the strike zone, repeats his delivery and forces hitters to hit ground balls due to the sink on his fastball. In fact, I would put Mapes ceiling as Stammen, a valuable middle reliever capable of throwing 80+ innings per season and inducing a healthy amount of ground ball outs.

Due to his draft pedigree Mapes will need to succeed at each level to continue his ascent through the minor leagues.  He still faces long odds, but I would not bet against him carving out a career in the major leagues.  Tyler Mapes is definitely a sleeper name in the farm system and someone to remember going forward.
