Cal, 1B - 4-4 from: http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/mlb-draft-notes-dixon-anderson-and-other-updated-scouting-report/#more - Probably a high Day 2 draft, a polished college hitter who doesn't profile well at first base or in left field. He doesn't have great bat speed and sets his hands up high and back by his rear shoulder, giving him a long path to the ball and limiting his time to make adjustments. He has shown some patience and pitch recognition and has some track record of performance.

4-5 from: - perfect game - RHP Mike Foltynewicz we moved into early round position (#20) after seeing him during the off season. Oddly enough it was at the same exact event that Odorizzi made a giant leap while in high school. It’s really great when you see a talented kid, you’ve been following for a long time, step it up the way he has. They went from being a very good draft prospect to becoming one of the best.
