Tai-in Che

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Boston Red Sox #20 prospect in 2001
  The Red Sox have more depth among lefthanded pitchers than among any other position in their system. Most of that talent is stockpiled in the lower minors, and Che has yet to make his U.S. debut after signing during the summer for $750,000. A Korean, Che averages 90-91 mph and touches 93, very good velocity for a southpaw, and he projects to add more because he packs just 170 pounds on his 6-foot-2 frame. He has a quick breaking ball and should have average or better command. His changeup needs work and he'll have to get acclimated to a new culture, but his upside is very intriguing. He'll join Boston in spring training after finishing high school in February.
