7. ZACH LEE | RHP, GREAT LAKES LOONS (DODGERS) |
Age: 19. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 190. Drafted: HS—McKinney, Texas, '10 (1). | |
The Dodgers paid Lee $5.25 million last August to steer him away from playing quarterback at Louisiana State. In return, they got a teenager who exuded polish while making his pro debut in the MWL. He surrendered two earned runs or less in 19 of his 24 starts, with his only hiccup coming when he missed three weeks in May with elbow tightness. While Lee doesn't dazzle radar guns, he gets good sink on an 88-93 mph fastball and locates it to both sides of the plate. His cutter and changeup will be plus pitches once he makes them more consistent, and he also throws a curveball. League observers praised his mound presence and competitiveness. "He reminds me a little of Josh Beckett without quite the same power," said Lansing manager Mike Redmond, who caught Beckett with the Marlins. "The stuff is going to be there as he gets stronger." |
17. GARRETT GOULD | RHP, GREAT LAKES LOONS (DODGERS) |
Age: 20. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 190. Drafted: Maize, Kan., '09 (2). | |
Though Gould got the highest bonus ($900,000) in the Dodgers' 2009 draft class, he spent two years in the Rookie-level Pioneer League and had only middling success. He turned a corner in the MWL and might have led the league in wins if the Dodgers hadn't limited him to 16 innings over his last six starts to keep him under 125 for the season. Gould had one of the better curveballs in the league, a low-80s breaker with 12-to-6 movement that grades as a plus-plus pitch at times. He sets up his curve with an 88-91 mph sinker that tops out at 94, and he also shows signs of developing an average changeup. His command took a step forward this year, though he must learn to control his emotions on the mound. |
