Potential Draftee Worth Watching: Scott Rembisz

I actually beat this drum last year too, but here we go again.
This time Rembisz is facing stiffer competition at Florida International University and doing quite well. 23 innings pitched, one homerun allowed, 22 strikeouts, and only two walks. That's pretty ridiculous. An older scouting report on Rembisz said the following:
Scott Rembisz is a 2006 RHP/1B from Morgan in Clinton, CT, with a 6'1'', 217 lb. frame. Thick build with strength, balanced mechanics with a closed finish, works fast, maintains velocity, good sink on FB, CB has 11-5 break with good depth, changes speeds well, shows raw power at plate, good bat speed, strength in swing, ball jumps, very good pitching prospect
I have no idea what Rembisz stock will look like closer to the draft, but for the second consecutive year I wouldn't mind if he winds up in the Rays system as a middle round selection. Perhaps following the Jesse Darcy (JESSE DARCY) path?

Another pitcher?!
I guess, best available is the way to go and even more trade bait
Just will be a fun and very new experience picking near the end of the 1st round.

Whoa.
He’s not a first round pick.
We’re talking later on in the draft.

Have you seen Strasburg's stats?
In 20 1/3 innings he has 45 K’s and 4 BB’s. In one of his recent starts he was never below 98mph, and hit 102 seven times.

He's K'd like 50% of the batters he's faced thus far.

Because strasburg is amazing
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

I've never heard of a college guy with that kind of stuff...
There was a kid from Georgia Tech a few years ago with amazing stuff, but he had no idea where it was going. I think his name was Jason Neighborgall or something….

How in the hell did he get out of rookie ball?
Talk about advancement without merit

They signed him for over a million dollars
So they had to try to get something out of the investment. Turns out he was worse than Steve Dalkowski.

Washington would be really dumb not to draft and sign Strasburg
Tyler and I (mostly Tyler) have been beating his drum on minorleagueball for a couple years now. Here’s how good Strasburg is – he was a candidate for being the #1 overall pick a couple years ago back when he peaked at 97 and sat around 93. Now he peaks at 101 and sits at 97, and his command and control haven’t suffered. Just an incredible prospect.

If I was the GM of the Nationals
I would do everything in my power to have a deal worked out pre-draft. I would carefully control his innings this year. Probably give him the rest of June “off” as in not pitching. I would keep him in the minors till September only because I would want to limit his innings and pitches thrown. He’d be my opening day starter for the 2010 season.
He’s a truly special arm. He really is the best pitching prospect out of college ever. That scout saying he’s better than AJ Burnett right now was not using hyperbole.

"That scout saying he’s better than AJ Burnett right now was not using hyperbole."
See, I’m not sure I buy that part. Is Strasburg really capable of being in the majors this season and having a run average sub-3.75?
That’s right around Burnett’s projected FIP.
by R.J. Anderson on Mar 11, 2009 11:10 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Absolutely.
Right now, Mark Prior is Strasburgs best comp coming out of college and Strasburg does everything better than Prior did. Prior was called up almost immediately after being drafted and posted a FIP of 3.16. Can Strasburg do that? I don’t know, but I think he could certainly be as good as AJ Burnett.

Was he really? After not being drafted out of HS, one year of being in shape and pitching well would have catapualted him that high?

He emerged as clearly the #1 prospect in college baseball
early in his Sophomore year. His stuff ticked up during his Freshman year and while he probably wouldn’t have been the #1 pick, he certainly would have been a top half of the first round pick.

That's what I seemed to remember.
Last year he just exploded and was considered the man.
Too bad he wasn’t eligible last year because we could have had the greatest pitching staff in a long time with him thrown into the mix.

and the catcher of that team probably said
to get him off the team so we would stop having to go visit the backstop 20 times a game. Look at his wild pitches
