Chorye Spoone
Born 9/16/1985
RHP, BAL
A stocky righthander with good fundamentals, the oddly-named Chorye ('Corey') has four good pitches, including a mid-nineties four-seamer, and a low-nineties two-seam fastball with good sink. His curve and change are still works in progress, but show signs of becoming plus offerings in the near future. His mound presence is intense, though he does seem to get rattled and thrown off his game on occasion.
He still needs to improve the command of his off-speed pitches, and the control of all four. If he doesn't make it as a middle-rotation big league starter, he's got a decent future in middle relief, where his ground-ball tendencies could eat up innings. He'll spend most of 2009 recovering from off-season shoulder surgery, but he remains an interesting name for 2010.
