OVERALL 45
A promising high school pitcher in Taiwan, Liu wore down from overuse and
took a two-year break from the mound while playing shortstop at Culture
University. He resumed pitching in 2019 and hit 98 mph with his fastball in
September, then earned MVP honors at the Asian Baseball Championship in
October while leading Chinese Taipei to its first title in eight years. The
Red Sox, who had scouted him as an infielder and knew him well from his
relationship with Tzu-Wei Lin, signed him for $750,000 in November.
Liu operates at 92-96 mph with riding action on his four-seam fastball. He
also can overpower hitters with a slider that sits at 86-88 mph and shows
flashes of becoming a plus pitch. His mid-80s splitter has similar upside if
less consistency, and some evaluators prefer it to his slider.
Though he's somewhat small for a starting pitcher, Liu has a clean delivery
and repeats it well. The athleticism that made him a prospect as a
switch-hitting shortstop helps him produce quality stuff and strikes without
much effort. Boston likes his feel for pitching and may have him work on a
curveball to give him a softer option in his repertoire.

虽然刘致荣的身材以先发投手来说有点矮小,不过他有着简洁的投球姿势而且维持得很好

喜欢刘致荣投球的感觉,可能会要求他多练一颗曲球
