Has shown a consistent knowledge of the strike zone and getting on base. Struggles with breaking balls. Adequate power for position. Concerns with the bat is main concern.
5-27 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - 2010 MLB Draft: Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 19. Clemson SO 3B John Hinson - John Hinson was a tough player to rank because of his status as a redshirt and thus draft-eligible sophomore and his positional versatility across the infield. He was an easy guy to rank this high because of the really nice things that anybody who has seen him play this year had to say about him. Hinson was a highly touted prospect out of high school who was considered advanced enough after his freshman year to be asked to play for Hyannis in the Cape Cod League. Back surgery cost him all of his 2009 season, but the fully recovered version of Hinson put up a 2010 statistical line that reads a lot like Pittsburgh’s Joe Leonard’s work this season. A plus hit tool combined with above-average speed and power will get you far professionally, but people smarter than myself that I talked with told me some teams question his ability to play any one particular spot in the infield with the consistency needed of a regular. Based on the limited looks of Hinson that I’ve seen, I can’t say that I necessarily agree with that assessment, but his defensive skillset (good athlete, iffy arm) may make him better suited for second base than third. At either spot, he’s got the bat to make him a potential regular with a couple breaks along the way.

"I think he's going to struggle (in pro ball)," he said. "He had a good junior summer against average pitching, but when he faces the good pitching he struggles. He doesn't adjust to the better velocities and has problems going from 92 (mph) one day to 75 the next. He's not a player I would want on my side," the scout continued. "I'd rather go against him."
5-28 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/2010/05/28/jake-thompson-update - For me, Thompson is the best college power arm I have seen on the West Coast in this draft, though he probably won’t be drafted as such. He should be. Early in this look, Thompson’s fastball was 93-95, with several 94s and 95s. When fresh and strong, Thompson has above-average fastball velocity and movement. He throws a hard 2-seamer, 91-92, a pitch that I thought he had great command of early in the game, pounding the lower half and outer third of the zone against right-handed hitters.
5-28 from: - http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b4kdh - Cal State Fullerton: If a team is looking for a leadoff-hitting, center-field-playing speedster, Brown might be the guy. He's got plus speed on both sides of the ball and should get better in both stealing bases and playing center as he gains experience. He's picked a terrific time to have one of the better seasons in the college game during his junior year, and his skill set should have him gone by the supplemental first round, if not sooner.
