Eric Gagne, rhp, Los Angeles Dodgers
Baseball America History
2000, No. 2 in Dodgers Top 10
Here is an excerpt from Gagne's scouting report in January 2000:
"Gagne, a member of the Canadian national junior team, was passed over in the
1995 draft and signed that summer. He missed the 1997 season after Tommy John
surgery. He rebounded to lead all of Double-A in strikeouts and fewest hits
per nine innings in 1999.
"Gagne has a long, fluid three-quarters arm action, lending heavy sink to his
90-92 mph fastball. His changeup, an outstanding pitch he uses to close out
hitters, gets similar sinking action from the same release point. The Dodgers
describe Gagne's demeanor as tough, though opponents lean towards mean.
"Gagne's curveball lags behind his fastball and change. He had eye surgery
following the season to correct problems that forced him to wear heavy goggles
on the mound.
"The previous regime didn't consider Gagne a prospect, but his performance in
1999 changed that. He is likely to start 2000 in the Dodgers rotation."
