Nice writeup about Lin Che-Hsuan by Sox on Deck, the Red Sox minor league blog on MVN. He gives some detailed analysis of Lin’s first season in the U.S., which was split between the rookie Gulf Coast League and Class A Lowell.
He managed a ground ball rate of a meager 33%, which is insanely low. His line drive rate (19%), and walk rate (8.4) were both respectable for a kid of his experience. The most exciting part of his time on the Gulf Coast was his .202 ISOP. To show that kind of power with his size and experience is something worth noting.
The writer sees Lin as a speedster with some pop — a 15/40 kind of guy who could be patrolling center for the Red Sox as early as 2012. He says Lin is likely to begin the year at Greenville (also class A).
