3-10-10 from - http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2199 - KOLBRIN VITEK, 2b-rhp, Ball State - SCOUTING REPORT/Great Lakes League: Vitek (.400-6-38) won the triple crown in the Great Lakes League this summer and was also tops in hits (54), total bases (100) and doubles (16). It was not an altogether surprising offensive performance for Vitek, considering he hit .389-13-67 as a Ball State sophomore, leading the team in homers and RBIs. He also paced the Mid-American Conference and tied a single-season school mark for doubles with 25. He displayed excellent bat speed through the hitting zone with occasional loft power to all fields, along with good plate discipline. Some of the league’s veteran coaches said he was the most dominating righthanded hitter to play in the league in a number of years. Vitek put almost all of his focus this summer on hitting and actually spent most of the GLL season out of position at second base. Normally a pitcher and third baseman at Ball State, Vitek arrived with a fatigued shoulder after going 4-3, 5.65 in 57 innings as a weekend starter for the Cardinals, and it was determined he would spend the summer at second to rest his arm. He still managed to work three innings for Lake Erie. The versatile Vitek made only five errors at his interim position and displayed acceptable range and hands, but it was generally agreed that his superior arm strength was wasted at the position and better suited for the hot corner. Vitek has been clocked up to 92-93 mph off the mound. In addition to his superior hitting skills, Vitek has impressive foot speed and was clocked in 6.6 seconds in the 60 at the league’s all-star game. He stole 10 bases and showed advanced base-stealing skills.
3-24 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2225 : - Two-way talent Kolbrin Vitek was already starting to gain steam heading into the regular season and continues to hit the ball extremely well for Ball State. He’s hitting .392/.451/.658 to open the year, and also is pitching important innings as one of the team’s weekend starters. Most see him settling in at third base at the next level, and he has been discussed as a potential sandwich pick who has solid second- to third-round value

10-7 from: - www.mlbresource.blogspot.com: - Ross Wilson---2B---Wilson who could be a top pick next June is a part of perhaps one of the best infields in Crimson tide history. Wilson and Josh Rutledge combine to make a great double-play combo and both will be counted on not only with their glove but also their bats.
10-8 from http://mlbbonusbaby.com - Ross Wilson, Alabama - Wilson is a middle infielder that might fit at either second or short, though his position right now is second with the Crimson Tide alongside 2010 shortstop prospect Josh Rutledge. Wilson’s one of those all-around solid hitters that has improved year-to-year and should be a solid pro hitter, too. He’s got a good eye at the plate and a solid hit tool with decent power, so he should be an intriguing guy to watch in the spring. Projected draft position: Early-second to early-third round.

6. Matt Lipka – McKinney HS (TX) –
8-9: from Keith Law/ www.espn.com: - The Texas club was lead by Matt Lipka a 2B/SS from McKinney HS, TX. He draws comparisons to Orlando Hudson showing good speed and an easy swing designed for contact.
1-3 from www.perfectgame.com: - Top 2010 HS MIFs. Based on summer performance (PG Natl SC,TOS,Area Code, East Pro SC, Under Armour & AFLAC) and lots of discussions. - Matt Lipka 6'1 - Aflac All American. Possibly one of the most athletic mif of the draft class. (Texas All State WR)Great makeup. Plus plus runner 6.35 60 / 4.12 to first from R side. Hard line drive swing plane. Avg arm. plus defender. needs to smooth out inf actions. Made the Rawlings play of game ( Lipka-Wolters-Lakind)at Aflac. Named to All Area Code Team for Texas Rangers. Team USA Alum. Plays all out and grinds..High potential.
2-8 from www.pnrscouting.com: - mock drafted 141st
From: PNR Scouting: - SS Lipka is a strong up-the-middle talent with top-tier speed and plenty of arm to hold down shortstop. He shows smooth, athletic actions in the field and makes consistent hard contact from the right side of the plate. He has enough power in his hands and forearms to show pop already with wood, and could develop true homerun potential as he learns to elevate the ball more consistently

10. Parks Jordan –
11-2 from www.thehardballtimes.com: - Parks Jordan, 2B, 2010, Winston-Salem, N.C., Canes - Beautiful left-handed line-drive swing (reminded me of Seth Smith), though I didn’t see much over the fence power potential. He struck out on a questionable call, and threw a pretty mild tantrum. Sort of slammed his helmet in the dugout and was pretty verbal (though not toward the umpire). A lot of scouts look down on stuff like this, but I see two sides to the coin; on one hand, maybe he does not deal with failure so well. But to me, it at least shows he gives a damn, and I like guys with a competitive streak. He’s not a high-round guy to me right now (I’d say more fourth-sixth), but he’s worth keeping an eye on. He’s committed to the University of North Carolina, which is a hitters hell. But if he’s able to prove me wrong and develop some more power during his college years, he could climb.

15. Austin Anderson –
11-2 from www.thehardballtimes.com: - Austin Anderson, SS/2B, 2010, Sorrento, Fla., Orlando Scorpions - Anderson bats left-handed with a beautiful line-drive stroke who uses all fields. Plus bat speed, very short, quick stroke and consistently made hard contact. Saw him pull a left-hander for a long single to right-center, and later scream a liner into the left center gap off a righty. He’s an above-average runner; I had him at 4.08 to first base. The swing really made an impression on me, though, and he looked great playing second. Heard he has committed to Mississippi.
16. Jeff Yamaguchi – Lakewood HS (CA) – 6-1, 175, catcher also –
8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com: will have to find a spot for him, 2b would be a good spot for him, solid hitting stroke, hits the ball where it's pitched, made adjustments, aggressive contact, solid arm strength, 45 right now, runs ok, not a clogger and deceptive physical strength.

20. Steven Cardullo - FSU
3-11 from: - http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/baseball/news?slug=kr-rogersroad031110&prov=yhoo&type=lgns - Florida State’s Stephen Cardullo is evidence you can go from rags to riches with hard work. The senior infielder is off to a phenomenal start this season. He has improved in many facets of the game, but most impressive is his start at the plate, where he has a .425 batting average, two homers and 19 RBIs. Cardullo is the shining star for the Seminoles so far. He wasn’t always this highly thought of, though. Cardullo had a successful high school career, but Florida State wasn’t interested in offering him a scholarship. Still, Cardullo was willing to do anything to become a Seminoles baseball player and assistant coach Mike Martin Jr. eventually offered him an opportunity to walk on
21. Andrew Collazo
3-17 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com - JR 2B Andrew Collazo (Texas A&M): 4-5, SB, RBI - Collazo gets a mention here because he was a key member of last year’s ridiculous Howard College team that went 63-1. He’s also a plus defender at second with just enough offensive value to get himself drafted late, contingent on his 2010 performance
3-22 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/03/22/southland-baseball-players-of-the-week-6 - Texas State infielder Jason Martinson has been named the Southland Conference Hitter of the Week and McNeese State right-handed pitcher Jaden Dillon has been named the Southland Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday. Martinson helped Texas State claim its second Southland Conference series of the season by winning two of three games at Sam Houston State. The junior from Hurst, Texas (Grapevine), hit for the cycle in the first game of a doubleheader on Sunday. He doubled in the second inning to break open a 1-1 tie and delivered a two-run home run in the ninth to lift the Bobcats to a 9-8 victory. In the second game of the doubleheader, he was 2-for-3 and drove in two more runs. Martinson batted .471 in four games last week, which also included a 13-7 win at Texas Tech. For the week, he had two doubles, a triple and a home run, scored five times and drove in five runs.
4-6 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/06/tcbb-players-of-the-week-april-6th - The College Baseball Blog continues our tradition of naming National Player and Pitcher of the Week. This week we honor Wright State senior infielder Quentin Cate. Cate picks up Player of the Week honors after going 15-for-25 (.600) with two homers, six doubles, 11 runs and 20 RBI in five games last week. He also registered a 1.080 slugging percentage and .615 on-base percentage for the Raiders. The infielder recorded multiple hits and RBI in all five tilts last week. In a three-game weekend series against Butler, he went 11-for-16 with 10 scores and 15 RBI.
