The Detroit Tigers saw projectibility and two MLB-plus pitches when they selected the Ole Miss University hurler in the 2nd round of the '08 draft.  Promptly converted to a late inning reliever, Satterwhite threw 20.2 innings at two stops earning 3 saves, a 3.92 ERA and a 13 BB/24 K ratio.  Satterwhite has an explosive 95 MPH fastball with excellent late movement that moves in on the hands of RH batters.  His slider has high upside with a violent two plane break, but he has had trouble commanding it at times.  He has dabbled with developing a changeup, but it really hasn't taken as of yet.  Satterwhite has a tall, broad frame that still has quite a bit of projectibility left, which leads some to believe that he can tack on some additional ticks to the velocity of his fastball.  His inconsistent delivery and loose mechanics causes him to miss up in the zone quite a bit which makes him hittable and marginalizes his ability to induce groundball outs.  This could serve as a problem at higher levels.  The Tigers are quite enamored with the closer potential of 1st rounder Ryan Perry, and given Satterwhite's young age, there is still some possibility that he could be developed as a starter in the future.

2009 Projection: Satterwhite will get a nice dose of full season ball at High-A Lakeland this season.  The Tigers would like to see him get better command of his off-speed stuff and would like for him to utilize his frame to throw downhill on hitters.  His control numbers are the obvious things to watch, but keep an eye on his FO/GO ratio as well.  If he can bump that up over 1.00 (it was 0.57 last season),  he can rapidly become a dominant reliever.  Relief pitching has been a thorn in the side of the Tigers for the past few seasons, but there is high hopes that the combination of Satterwhite and Ryan Perry could help this club shorten games and put more wins on the scoreboard.

Hoping to finally put to rest their bullpen woes, the Detroit Tigers selected this University of Arizona closer with the 21st pick in the '08 draft.  Perry has a blazing fastball that sits between 96-98 MPH and occasionally touches 100.  Complimenting that pitch is a wicked slider that ranges between 85-88 MPH and has all the makings of a strikeout pitch.  Perry has the perfect demeanor for a closer as he pitches aggressively, going after hitters with his two plus plus pitches.  On the downside, he has a tendency to open up early in his delivery, elevating his fastball and making him surprisingly hittable at times.  He surrendered 15 hits in 11.2 IP with High-A Lakeland while walking 7 hitters.  Some work on his mechanics should limit his walks and help him keep the ball down in the zone.

2009 Projection: The Tigers are in a perpetual need for bullpen help which means that Perry should move quickly.  Don't be surprised to see him begin the season at AA Erie with a promotion to AAA Toledo a possibility as well.  While he has the potential to be a top-flight closer, he still needs to work on tightening up his mechanics and limiting his walks and hits against him.  Perry reminds some scouts of a bigger, stronger version of Brandon Morrow.  If these comparisons come to fruition, the Tigers will be blessed with a very good closer for many years to come.
