Yu-Min Lin
LHP
ETA 2025

Fastball: 50 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 50
Changeup: 60 | Control: 55   | Overall: 45

Lin has ample international experience, having played for Chinese Taipei in
multiple World Cups, including most recently in the U-23 edition last year
when he was just 18 years old. The southpaw led his country in strikeouts
with 14 over 8 2/3 innings after going up against teams from Cuba and
Venezuela. Impressed by his stuff and ability against older competition, the
D-backs signed Lin for $525,000 last December and have become only more
enamored with him since. Lin struck out 41 batters over 23 innings in the
Arizona Complex League this summer, prompting a move to Single-A Visalia
shortly after his 19th birthday.

At a listed 5-foot-11, 160 pounds, Lin looks lithe on the mound, but he makes
the most out of a high leg kick and energetic delivery to bring multiple
pitches to the table. His fastball is 90-93 mph right now, but Arizona is
hopeful more velo is coming as he fills out. Where Lin thrives most is in his
ability to manipulate the ball. His curveball -- his best pitch entering pro
ball -- has lots of depth and break, but it’s the changeup (and his ability
to add and subtract velocity as needed) that has Arizona officials most
excited. Lin also adds in a slider, splitter and sometimes a screwball-like
pitch to keep hitters constantly guessing.

Because he doesn’t overthrow, Lin has shown a promising ability to throw
strikes early on. Entering early August, he’s gotten swings-and-misses on
38.5 percent of his pitches, proving just how befuddled hitters have been
against him early on. The velo will need to come against upper-level bats,
but the kitchen-sink approach makes him an intriguing young, starting option.

目前台灣只有他跟李灝宇有入榜
