Stats (complete):Name: Bret Randolph Prinz Birthday: June 15,1977 (27 on Opening Day) Height: 6-3 Weight: 185 Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: P Acquired: Trade w/NYY Drafted: 1998, 18th round (553), ARI Roster: 25-man Contract: $342,000 Pitching:YEAR(L) G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO H/9 W/9 K/9 W L ERA WHIP ----------|--|--|-----|--|--|--|--|--|---|----|----|----|--|--|----|--- 2002(AAA) 37 0 39.1 42 14 13 4 9 34 9.61 2.06 7.78 1 0 2.97 1.30 2002(MLB) 20 0 13.1 23 14 14 1 10 10 15.5 6.75 6.75 0 2 9.45 2.48 2003(AAA) 20 0 24.1 39 20 19 3 4 20 14.4 1.48 7.40 0 2 7.04 1.77 2003(MLB) 3 0 3.0 7 4 4 1 4 3 21.0 12.0 9.00 0 0 12.0 3.66 2004(AAA) 29 0 30.2 27 12 12 3 9 33 7.92 2.64 9.68 3 1 3.52 1.17 2004(MLB) 26 0 28.1 28 17 16 5 14 22 8.89 4.45 6.99 1 0 5.08 1.48 ----------|--|--|-----|--|--|--|--|--|---|----|----|----|--|--|----|--- MLBCAREER:95 0 85.2 91 48 46 11 47 62 9.56 4.94 6.51 5 3 4.83 1.61 Pitch selection: 1) fastball (mid 90s), 2) slider. Sidearm delivery. 92-96 MPH fastball.Outlook: The Angels are gambling that a) Prinz's problems are related to his groin tear in 2003, b) he's now fully healthy, and c) his mechanics can be fixed by pitching-guru Buddy Black. If it works out, Bill Stoneman will have salvaged another class reliever from the league's trash heap, because Prinz clearly has the stuff to set-up in the bigs. However, he's been shelled again this spring, and at this point he may be a lost cause. It's worth the gamble, but chances are Prinz is done. Projected line: 25 IP, 5.50 ERA See the complete list of scouting reports here. |
