From: - http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewAmateurPlayerProfile.do?playerId=685&draftId=5 - Goeddel is all about polish, showing an advanced knowledge of pitching and a well-rounded arsenal. His fastball sits in the 89-93 range, and he has touched the mid-90s on occasion. He commands his fastball very well, and mixes in a sharp curveball and a nice sinking changeup. When his fastball and curveball are working together for him he records outs in bunches while maximizing pitch counts. He has a slender, projectable build with a strong mid-section and well-defined upper legs. He employs a slow, deliberate windup that offers a fair amount of deception while lulling hitters throughout his delivery. Goeddel has committed to play at UCLA.
7-7-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2577 Baseball America has confirmed that UCLA righthander Erik Goeddel has agreed to terms with the Mets, who drafted him as a 24th-round pick. MLB Trade Rumors reported the deal is believed to be worth just less than $500,000, but BA has yet to confirm the bonus. It is certain to be an over-slot bonus, however, which is significant because no player has officially signed an above-slot deal yet in 2010, and the Mets aren't known for bucking the slot recommendations of the commissioner's office. A blue-chip prospect in high school, Goeddel needed about 24 months—longer than usual—to recover from Tommy John surgery his senior year of high school. He threw eight innings as a redshirt freshman in 2009, then went 2-0, 3.12 with 58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 49 innings of relief this spring, emerging as a key piece of UCLA's stellar bullpen. He came on especially strong down the stretch, catching scouts' attention in regionals and sitting in the mid-90s with a wicked 86 mph slider in the College World Series.
7-30 from: - From Rich Valle/Mack’s Mets: - For all you Metropolitan fans be careful. This guy is not a starting pitcher as many hope. If you are not already aware he was selected in the 24th round this year from UCLA. He was chosen this late because nobody believed the draft eligible sophomore would sign. Goeddel is a fine pitcher, but many Mets fan sites are claiming victory because they only saw him deal in the College World Series, thinking he is a steal. I have seen him pitch since he was 16 yrs old and please note he is listed at 185lbs which is really 180. He has a great delivery and is very tenacious on the hill, but TJ surgery took 2 years to recover. In addition, he only threw some 23 inning this year at UCLA.
10-18-10 from: - http://www.metsminorleagueblog.com/2010/10/18/q-a-with-espns-jason-churchill - Goeddel was the best pitcher on the Bruins roster when they came to Seattle last spring, including Gerrit Cole. He was nails, though inconsistent at the time. He flashed No. 2 or 3 starter stuff late and the Mets are giddy they got him signed. Whether Goeddel is a top of the rotation type or not depends on whether he can consistently command his secondary stuff, since he doesn’t throw 98. Some scouts have long-term durability concerns, but when I am told that I just ignore it because once that is expected to become an issue, the pitcher is well into arbitration or his free agent years anyway.
11-24-10 from: - http://www.metsgeek.com/showthread.php?658-Mets-Top-Twenty-Prospects&p=187156 - 12. Eric Goeddel. Goeddel was an incredible get for the Mets, going over slot for him in the 24th round of this year draft. He is a three pitch pitcher with a plus fastball and a plus slider. I saw him pitch for UCLA on TV, where he was the primary set up man for the Bruins after redshirting due to elbow surgery. His slider was filthy good. He was expected to be the Bruins Sunday starter (ACE) if he had returned for his junior year. I expect him to be eased into the Savannah starting rotation this spring. Best case scenario is a two/three starter or late inning reliever. Worst Case Scenario is that he never refines his pitches, stuck in mediocrity.
