Meador suffered the injury during a batting drill when he was hit on the hand by a pitch. Meador, a senior from Ramona High, batted .391/.449/.600 this season with seven home runs and 62 RBI.

STRENGTHS: Loose arm, FB 89-92, tops 92-94 in summer looks. SL, 72-74, CH 75. Good baseball athlete, might be better offensively in coming years. WEAKNESSNES: SL 72-74 more slurve than hard, doesn’t separate SL from CH. Lacks out pitch on pro level. SUMMARY: A good arm, but would not be premium power arm for me. Sinker-slider type. Good athlete, should be durable workhorse. Can’t get third base out of my head with him. GRADES (Present/Future): Fastball 50/55 Slider 40/50 Command 40/50 Control 40/50 Overall Future Potential: 51

Smelter is an impressive athlete with a fastball ranging from 92-94. He also offers an extremely good splitter. He plays both ways in high school, but his future is as a pitcher. Interestingly, Smelter has received a great deal of coaching from ex-major league Kevin Brown, who returned to Macon after his retirement.

Louisville SO 3B Phil Wunderlich - Makeup is one of the easiest scouting terms to throw around as a positive or a negative for any given prospect because anonymous internet sources (like mine!) are never asked to truly qualify what the word means. Here’s what I mean when I say Wunderlich’s makeup is off the charts: In an completely fictional, but totally possible survey of college coaches and players, Wunderlich would win the “most likely to manage” poll going away. He’s that kind of player. Intangibles aside, Wunderlich is an underrated athlete with legit plus power and amazing patience at the plate. He may not be a natural defender at third, but he’s also not the type of player you’d bet against working his tail off until he is at least a decent big league defensive player.

UCLA JR LHP Rob Rasmussen - 89-92 FB; touched 93-94 on Cape; low-70s CB that can be plus pitch, but should be above-average at worst; 82-85 SL has potential; 81-82 CU needs more reps; easy mechanics, but can get out of whack at times; interesting JP Howell comp; 5-11, 170 pounds (3.56 FIP; 11.77 K/9; 2.65 BB/9)
