1st Round - 28th Pick Overall - L.A. Dodgers - RHP - Zach Lee

33. Zach Lee – McKinney HS, Texas – 6-3, 190 - committed to play QB for LSU…




8-1: from http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com: arm strength and solid control for now, should improve each year with more work needed on breaking ball command and clean up his delivery some. Will be a solid college pitcher for sure, then look out.

10-5 from http://baseballdraftreport.com: - top 50 prospects in 2010 draft – #25 – Zach Lee (14th RHP on list)

1-1-9 from www.draftsite.com: - mock draft: - #61 Cincinnati Zach Lee RHP McKinney HS, Tx. 6'3" 195 R,R

From PNR Scouting. Zach Lee: - From PNR Scouting: - RHP Lee is a two-way commit to LSU, doubling as one of the top high school pitchers and quarterbacks in the country. On the hill, he shows deception in his motion, coming across his body out of a high-three-quarters arm slot, showing an upper-80s fastball capable of touching the low-90s. He mixes in a promising breaking ball with solid spin and shows some feel for a change-up that flashes fade (though he tends to slow his arm with the pitch). He’s unrefined as a pitcher, and may have his development somewhat slowed as he splits his time between the gridiron and the diamond. If he remains committed to joining the Tigers in the fall, he’ll be an interesting player to follow, and could provide Coach Mainieri with a potential Friday starter if he’s able to continue to improve upon his secondary stuff.



4-29 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/4/29/1450107/casing-the-states-texas-part-three#storyjump - Zach Lee, RHP, McKinney HS, McKinney - Along with Tyrell Jenkins, mentioned in Part Two of the Texas Casing the States series, Lee has moved up as quickly as anyone in the entire state. A strong, projectable arm, Lee has taken a major step forward with his stuff and command, but it's only made the elephant in the room get bigger. That elephant is a football scholarship to be an LSU quarterback. Scholarships to LSU to play baseball are hard enough to break, but buying out an LSU quarterback might be a challenge not worth attempting. However, Lee has turned enough heads that a team might risk it given his stuff. His fastball is a plus pitch already, sitting 91-94, touching 95. He has above-average command of it, which is a pleasing new development. His breaking ball is a potential plus slider that could use some work, but he has excellent feel for it, and given his step forward in command, he's expected to master that pitch. He has some experience with a changeup, too, which is a plus, though it's rudimentary at the moment. If it weren't for the two-sport commitment, Lee's name would be popping up more for first round consideration, but as it stands, he's more likely to land on campus with anything less than a multimillion dollar bonus. Projected Draft Range: Late 1st Round - 10th Round
