DRAFT: - Derek Dietrich, Cory Hahn, Aaron Kurcz, Rob Segedin... and Marcus Littlewood

Derek Dietrich:

6-2 from: - http://www.sbnation.com/2010/6/2/1497708/2010-mlb-draft-preview-manny-machado-shortstops  - Currently a shortstop, most scouts predict that he'll become a third baseman in short order due to limited range, and the worry then becomes how much power he really has. He is very strong through his wrists and forearms and has plus bat speed, but fails to use the whole field at times, instead relying on turning out pitches that are actually away from him. He does have the potential for an average hit tool, and his raw power is above-average. His speed is below-average, though, and that's not really a part of his game. He has a plus arm, which should be an asset at third, and he has the potential to start at the Major League level. He should go in the second or third round, where he will be signable.

Cory Hahn:

6-2 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft  - Mater Dei's Cory Hahn is hitting .388 with nine homers and 22 RBI on the year. Last week, he also threw six shutout innings against Camarillo, giving up just three hits and struck out six, upping his record to 12-1. "Now that its playoffs, you just have to bear down a little bit more than normal," he told OCvarsity.com. "You don't want to lose, especially in the first round. These are the last games of my high school career, so it gives me a little more edge and fire to come out and do the best I can." Hahn and Mater Dei will face off against Simi Valley, who feature right-hander Cody Buckel. Though Buckel will not pitch against Mater Dei--he threw a complete game in the quarterfinals against San Clemente--Buckel plays shortstop and his hitting .417 with six homers and 25 RBI, according to OCvarsity.com

Aaron Kurcz:

6-1 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/  - -There are a ton of potential relief arms in this draft, and I continue to come across them. One of my favorite ones is Aaron Kurcz from CC of Southern Nevada. An Air Force transfer, I think he has the potential to be a quality setup man at the next level. I gave him a 2C3 grade, and I think he'll be a potential slot bargain. He has an Oral Roberts commitment, but he's expected to be signable.

Rob Segedin:

5-28 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/  - Top 30 College Third Base Prospects - 1. Tulane JR 3B Rob Segedin - I had Segedin as the 47th best draft-eligible player in the nation heading into the year, so it’s nice to see him succeed in 2010 for totally selfish reasons alone. Sure, it’s also nice to see a hard working young man work his way back from a season lost to injury to put himself in a position for a well earned big paycheck and chance at chasing his dream of professional baseball, but, really, it’s all about me, me, me! Anyway, Segedin has a gorgeous righthanded stroke that’s so pretty to look at it’s almost a surprise when he makes contact and the ball doesn’t fly to an unattended gap somewhere. Defensively, he’ll stick at third at least in the short-term (steady hands, limited range), but could become a rightfielder with average range and a cannon arm if needed. It’ll be the bat that makes him the big bucks, and it’s got all the makings of a special one. At the plate, Segedin is a professional player trapped in the college game. Rare plate discipline, gap power that’s finally beginning to round into over-the-fence pop, and impressive bat control make him a hitter with a big future going forward. When your floor is a lefty mashing four-corners utility guy, then you’d better believe the ceiling is much, much higher.

Marcus Littlewood:

6-1 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft  - Pine View (Utah) High School shortstop Marcus Littlewood and his teammates fell short of a state title last week, losing to Mountain Crest High School 12-7 in the third round of the one-loss bracket in the boys 4A state baseball playoffs last Tuesday. Mountain Crest was the reigning 4A champ. On March 20, Mountain Crest had beaten Pine View 1-0, in the Dixie sunshine Classic Tournament in St. George. Littlewood's season ended, but there is little doubt he will be selected within the first four rounds of the draft next Monday. By far, Littlewood's glove is one of the best in the draft. Soft hands, quick transfer and a plus arm at shortstop are Littlewood's trademark. "Marcus has been that sparkplug for us all year - someone we can count on," Pine View coach Randy Wilstead said to The Deseret. "He's not a prep baseball player out there (in the field). He's miles and miles ahead of the other guys at his level." Littlewood is an above-average runner, but isn't a burner. But as he showed in a May 11 game, his last name doesn't accurately describe his offensive upside. That day, he homered, scored six runs and stole a base
