Scouts are taking a liking to the physical, 6-foot-3 shortstop who hits third in the Highlanders' potent lineup."If there's a guy that could overshadow Taillon on that team, I think it's him," an American League area scout said. "He's got a very athletic body and I think he could play shortstop in the big leagues. He moves well, he has a great physique—6-3, probably 205 (pounds), broad shoulders, narrow waist. He moves well with a lot of whip in the bat—it's a good, quick bat. If he doesn't outgrow the position, from a bulk standpoint, I think he could stay at short at the pro level."

For being so young, he is probably one of the most polished high school pitchers to come along in awhile. He knows what he’s doing on the mound. The reason he’s not higher is that he simply lacks front-line stuff. A number of teams feel that he’s a number four starter at best, despite his plus pitchability. He could easily slide forward a bit, but I think he’s more in line for a mid-second round selection, similar to David Holmberg a year ago.
3-27 from: - http://mlbbonusbaby.com/ : - Sam Dyson, RHP, South Carolina - I think a bit of a red flag went up when South Carolina chose Blake Cooper over Dyson to be the Friday starter for their team this year, and Dyson has only made that selection look smarter than it did at the beginning of the season. His raw numbers aren’t great, but he’s also been one of the unluckiest pitchers so far, so there’s hope he’ll recover. There’s still the issue of his shoulder and whether it will hold up, making him look more like a second or third rounder.
3-27 from: - http://mlbbonusbaby.com/ : - Mike Foltynewicz, RHP, Minooka Community HS (IL) - Scouts are starting to drool over the raw stuff that “Folty” is putting up, as he has consistently improved velocity and breaking stuff over the last two years, making him a real draft prospect after being a fringe draft prospect before last summer. He absolutely exploded after Perfect Game’s Indoor Pitching/Catching Showcase in Iowa late last month, and a lot of scouts will be hot on the trail when the weather heats up in Illinois. However, he’s still raw, and I’d like to see him consistently show that plus stuff before he moves up.
3-27 from: - http://mlbbonusbaby.com/ : - Kevin Jacob, RHP, Georgia Tech - If you’ve been paying attention closely, you’ve noticed that I haven’t put Jacob in any of my mock drafts, even after he pushed his velocity up to the upper-90s last summer in Alaska. That’s for a few reasons, starting with the fact that relievers are very prone to wild swings in draft stock. I knew that much of Jacob’s value would be based on his spring performance. My reason for holding him back now is what I’ve seen in person, including the disappointment in the scouting community. His raw stuff is way down, as he only sits in the low-90s, touching 94, and his command isn’t sharp. With his Boras commitment, he could even be back at Tech next year.
