## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Jerry Winchell

Jerry has a 7 bat that may have a little more pop in it than first meets the eye. His bat is rated 86/100 in terms of power, although just 19 contact. He has home run strength but may be prone to pop ups. In the field, he has a fantastic glove at 97/100 coordination, but just 32 throwing strength, so he's probably best suited for first base when he's not on the mound. He has poor stamina for a starting pitcher at 30/100, but his slowball is fantastic at 86 and the rest of his pitches are rated in the mid-60s.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, and Jerry was drafted 79th overall in the 4th round by coach areyoutyler of the Devil Rays. Jerry drove in 21 batters, second most on the team, but he also struck out 9 times, which was a team-worst. He didn't pitch this season as Mr. Clanky pitched every inning for the Devil Rays.

#### Season 4

Jerry slipped to the 162nd pick in the 7th round, where he was taken by coach GSchlim of the Pirates. Jerry thrived in GSchlim's grounderball offense, hitting 31 doubles and collecting 41 RBIs. He also did most of the pitching for the Pirates, posting a 1.17 ERA in 72 innings pitched.

#### Season 5

Jerry slipped even further in the draft, finally taken 192nd overall in the 9th round by coach Wizard of the Wombats. This was not a remarkable season for Jerry, as he only drove in 16 runs and batted a team-worst 0.489, although he did set a new career high for home runs with 4.

#### Season 6

Coach GSchlim reunited with Jerry on the Tigers, drafting him with the 183rd pick in the 8th round. This team would later be coached by Ozzman. Jerry had his worst season yet, batting 0.432, hitting no home runs, tallying just 8 RBIs and posting a 2.74 ERA in 54 2/3 innings pitched.

#### Season 7

In Season 7, Jerry went back to the Wombats and coach Wizard, selected with the 196th pick in the 9th round. Jerry had arguably his best season yet in the Wombats' offense-heavy lineup. He batted 0.517 with 8 home runs 45 RBIs.

#### Season 8

Coach GSchlim took Jerry for the Blue Jays with the 166th pick in the 7th round, as he was trying to make a team entirely consisting of players whose names started with the letter J. Jerry and the rest of the Jays had a rough year on offense, but this was perhaps his best season on the mound. In 80 1/3 innings, he had a 1.87 ERA and struck out 63 batters. Jerry won NL Pitcher of the Week honors in Week 10 after throwing a complete game shutout, allowing just 2 hits, and striking out 9.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Jerry went back to coach Wizard, this time being drafted in the 9th round with the 208th pick for the Cardinals. Jerry was the main pitcher for the Cardinals and, helped by his exclusive usage of power-ups, he set a career high for batting average at 0.717.

#### 2003

Jerry was surprisingly not coach by GSchlim or Wizard this season, as coach shrewsbury91 scooped up Jerry as an undrafted free agent for his Pirates. And what a steal that pickup was! Jerry could use power-ups at the plate and was the Pirates' main pitcher on the mound. At the plate, he was second on the team in homers (6) and RBIs (23). On the mound, he dazzled with a 0.61 ERA in 78 2/3 innings pitched. He helped the Pirates make the playoffs and he won the Backyard League Ace Wilson Award.
