The Naperville, Ill., native pitched six shutout innings of relief to lead Carolina to a 5-3 come-from-behind win over Virginia Tech on Friday. The victory helped the Tar Heels secure a series sweep. In two appearances last week, Bates notched a 1.23 ERA allowing just one run on three hits while striking out nine.
5-23 from: http://baseballbeginnings.com/2010/05/23/martin-viramontes-report - RHP 6-5, 225 LMU - PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall, long body type, narrow hips and shoulders. STRENGTHS: FB 91-94, average 93, some smoothness. Potential put-away SL, 78-84, best at 84, two-plane weapon with late bite and above-average movement when working right. Token CH, 89-84 (80). WEAKNESSES: Below-average fastball command and movement, inconsistent slider repetition, command and movement, below-average change-up movement and decption, and struggles to put away hitters. Too many pitches, too many deep counts. Struggles to maintain mechanics, release points and landings when reaching for velocity. Trying to be too much in this look. Velocity fell from 91-94 in four innings to 90-91 in fifth. SUMMARY: Incomplete power arm. Too many pitches at this stage of career. A big arm who needs to command better and throw more consistent major league quality strikes. Shoulder issues in 2009 need to be proven to be in the past. Needs developmental time in the minor leagues; could be ideal closer candidate in coming years. GRADES (Present/Future):Fastball 50/60 Slider 40/55 Change-up 30/40 Control 30/40 Command 30/40 Overall Future Potential: 48
