4-7 from: - http://web.goldenspikesaward.com/index.html?page=news_archive&article_id=63 - Florida Gulf Coast junior left-hander Chris Sale can run his fastball into the mid-90s, baffle hitters with an excellent changeup and put away lefties with an improving slider. He ranked among the national leaders in ERA and strikeouts as a sophomore last spring, then earned pitcher of the year honors in the Cape Cod League last summer, ranking as the prestigious league's No. 1 prospect. Imagine how good he can be when he fills out his 6-foot-6 frame. "He's still skinny," Florida Gulf Coast coach Dave Tollett said. "He's 180 [pounds] now -- what's he going to be when he's 205 or 210? He's that good now, but the projectability of him, I'm like, 'Holy smokes, this kid's off the chart.'"
(word I have… definitely the Pirates pick as #2 in the draft…)
4-7 from: - http://ow.ly/1vp24 - Friends Schools: Jesse Biddle came within a walk and an error of a perfect game in leading Germantown Friends to a 1-0 win over host Westtown. Biddle struck out 17 and earned the win after Justin Berg drove in Jason Symonette in the fifth inning.
4-6 from Jason Churchill/ http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/04/a-preliminary-top-5-mock-draft/#more – mock draft picks 1-5: - 1) Washington Nationals - Bryce Harper, College of Southern Nevada, C: At 17, Harper's talents are too good to pass up as he continues to crush the pitching in the Scenic West Athletic Conference, with a wood bat, to boot.
4-6 from: - pgcrosschecker - RHP - This was Keller’s first outing of the spring and he didn’t pitch at the Pitcher/Catcher Indoor due to a sprained ankle, so a bit of rustiness was understandable. Keller pitched to 11 hitters before reaching his pitch count; he struck out 5 of them and walked the other 6. He threw about 95% fastballs and about 50% strikes and pretty much just reared back and fired. Interestingly, Keller almost never missed in and out, it was always up or down with the fastball. There was no problem with the velocity, as Keller touched 94 mph and was consistently 92 mph, although the pitch was very straight. He threw a couple of 81 mph sliders that he’s been working on back in Cedar Rapids and a couple of mid 80’s sinkers that could have been an effort at a changeup.
4-7-10 from: - http://collegebaseball360.com/2010/04/06/cb360-primetime-performers-of-the-week-7-april-6 - Stanford sophomore righthander Jordan Pries has been named the Primetime Pitcher of the Week. Pries went the distance on April 2 in game-2 of the series at #2 UCLA, as the Cardinal handed the Bruins their first loss of the season (8-4). The 6-0, 190-pound righthander allowed three earned runs on eight hits and four walks, with four strikeouts while facing a potent UCLA lineup that featured four players hitting above .390 for the season. The 133-pitch complete game saw Pries sparkle through the first 7.2 innings, as he allowed only an unearned run and four hits until late in the 8th inning. Twice in the game, Pries retired seven in a row – and his first six frames featured two 1-2-3 innings and four others in which he induced a double-play ball.
