BA的亞利桑那新人聯盟前20大新秀排名，張育成排名第12，以下為球探報告

12. Yu-Cheng Chang, ss/3b, Indians
Age: 19. B-T: R-R. Ht: 6-1. Wt: 175. Signed: Taiwan, 2013.
Chang was one of the top Asian amateur players on the market when the Indians
signed the Taiwan native for $500,000 in June 2013. His brother Jin-De Jhang
is a catcher in the Pirates organization.
Chang quickly became a favorite among AZL scouts for his refined skills,
especially at the plate, where he showed a compact, quick swing, a good feel
for the barrel and more power than expected with a pull-heavy approach. His
six home runs ranked second in the AZL behind the teammate Bobby Bradley, and
he added two more longballs during the club’s playoff run.
“It never seems like he’s trying to do too much,” Indians manager Anthony
Medrano said, “but he finds a way to get the bat on the ball and drive (it).
”
Chang wound up spending nearly as much time at third base due to the presence
of slick-fielding shortstop Alexis Pantoja, and that’s where he may wind up
long-term. He’s got the arm for both positions and is sound fundamentally,
so he could become a plus defender at third.
另外BA作家Bill Mitchell也對網友對此排名的發問提出回答，
以下為有關張育成的問題節錄:

Elliot (Youngstown OH): Surprised that Chang was slotted as low as 12th
despite "his refined skills, especially at the plate, where he showed a
compact, quick swing, a good feel for the barrel and more power than
expected" while on defense "He’s got the arm for both [SS and third] and is
sound fundamentally, so he could become a plus defender at third." What's his
downside?
Bill Mitchell: Elliott, I anticipated this question and even wondered whether
I was going too low on Chang. I don’t think it’s a question of Chang’s
downside, but more on his upside compared to others on the list. A scout I
know who used to work in Asia said that the players from Taiwan come out of
excellent programs and are much more refined when they get to the states, so
it’s a little harder to project them to improve as much as other
international players. I like Chang and believe he has a good future. In a
relatively deep league, coming in at No. 12 isn’t bad.
