Interviews
RSN - Justin Masterson Interview
Twelve Questions with Justin Masterson
MLB Comparison: Derek Lowe |
Scouting Report:
Big righty with an
ideal
pitcher's build.
Dominated
the Cape Cod League in 2005. Masterson has a three-quarter delivery
with a slinging-type motion. His arsenal includes a
sinker, a slider, and a change-up. Of those pitches, his best is a
phenomenal plus-sinker with an excellent heavy drop -- he can vary its speed from 84-94 mph,
catching many hitters off balance. Also mixes in a very
good slider that sits in the low 80s, and an improving 77-81 mph four-seam circle change. Uses
his sinker predominantly as his out-pitch, but also can make use of
his secondary pitches to get out of jams.
Could stand to mix in his changeup a bit more. His mix of pitches
results in a high groundball-to-flyball ratio, getting a lot of double
plays. Very good command of the zone.
Prepares well for every
game and pitches
with confidence on the mound. Good fielder with a quick and
deceptive pick-off move.
Strong character, Masterson is one of the most likable persons and
teammates going.
Converted to a starter in 2007 after coming out of the pen for Lowell in
2006, may still project as a reliever at this
point depending on how well his change-up progresses. Needs to work on
keeping his delivery consistent deep into games. Ultimately,
Masterson's ceiling is a #2 starter or a dominant set-up man. |
