PG President, Jerry Ford, has stated that he thinks Cowart is the best shortstop in the country. “I know he is a potential early pick pitcher and that he has played 3B most of the time. At the PG National last year we asked him to take infield as a shortstop. Not sure how close people were watching, but to me there was no one with better actions, hands or especially arm. Of course that arm looks awfully good on the mound, and I’m sure everyone knows that.”

Chipola FR 3B Michael Revell - Revell has really impressive tools across the board, but his production in 2010 didn’t reflect his true talent level. His plus bat speed, strong arm, good athleticism, and 20 homer lefthanded power upside will keep him on many follow lists despite his struggles. The down year will probably keep him at Chipola for a sophomore season; disappointing, sure, but perhaps a good thing for his long-term draft stock. Revell has the tools to succeed, but is raw enough that the extra relatively low pressure junior college at bats could help turn his substantial promise into production. It’s rare to see a player capable of starting in the big leagues so low on a prospect list like this, but it’s an acknowledgement of the wide gap between what Revell could be versus what he currently is. He makes the list as more of a token 2011 name to watch than a realistic 2010 draft target.
5-26 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/2010/05/26/seth-rosin-update - Speaking with a regional scouting source about Minnesota Friday night starter Seth Rosin, the 6-foot-7 right-hander continues to pitch his way toward the draft with a growing reputation as a big guy with a big arm. In this look, Rosin was 95 several times in the first three innings. He pitched into the seventh inning and his velocity maintained enough for him to pitch comfortably at 93-95. His overall fastball command remains above-average and paired with his size, plane, firm front, gives him a very solid foundation from which to start a pro career. His best secondary pitch in this look was a change-up at 79-80. Rosin is improving the pitch as the season progresses and it’s certainly more advanced than when I saw him on the Cape. The pitch has deception from release point, but also has dive to it, which gives him a workable second pitch with which to enter pro ball. His curveball, probably his least developed pitch at this stage, got a few strikeouts.
5-26 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/5/26/1488491/top-5-by-position-first-basemen#storyjump - Christian Yelich has been one of the more pleasing surprises this spring, as he came out on fire and never stopped hitting. That hitting has come less in the form of raw power and more in the form of balls sprayed all over the yard, though his power is nothing to sneeze at. Entering the year, Yelich seemed to be more of a seventh to tenth round prospect, one that offered intriguing upside, but had never quite put it all together against any sort of advanced pitching enough to warrant an early selection. That’s changed quickly this spring, and he’s head and shoulders above any other high school first baseman in this draft class. Yelich’s best tool is an above-average hit tool that projects very well, and due to his projectable size, he also profiles for slightly above-average raw power, though that is more debated than any other aspect of his game. Some scouts see him only as a slight first baseman with below-average power and a high batting average. However, he does have a fairly discriminating eye at the plate, and he’s expected to adjust to pro pitching immediately. He’s an above-average fielder at first base, too, but a well below-average arm means he’s not going anywhere else. He’s a solid-average runner, though, so he’s a nice all-around threat, making him the second good athlete stuck at first between him and Hunter Morris. He should go somewhere from the supplemental first round to the early third round.
5-27 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft - The Citadel right-hander Asher Wojciechowski improved to 11-1 with a 9-5 victory over Furman in Wednesday's opening round of the Southern Conference Tournament. Wojciechowski went eight innings and allowed a season-high 11 hits, including back-to-back home runs in the seventh. He struck out eight and walked one. Wojciechowski has otherwise been dominant this season, with 136 strikeouts in 111 innings.
