6/1/10

DRAFT: - Tyler Holt, Stefan Sabol, Tony Thompson, Sammy Solis... and Marcus Littlewood

Tyler Holt:
6-1 from: - link  - You don't hear a whole lot about Holt from scouts, because he's one of those guys who puts his head down and does his job and isn't one bit flashy. And yet he has tools. Maybe some other 6-3 outfielders are more athletic, or are just physically bigger and hit moon shots past the scoreboard, but Holt is consistent and reliable. The Gainesville, Fla. native has started every game since he enrolled at Florida State, 186 games and counting. It is the longest streak in the nation. Holt has put up great offensive numbers this year -- .341 average with 71 hits, 18 doubles and 71 runs scored. He projects to be a 20-home run hitter in the big leagues.





Stefan Sabol:

5-31 from: - http://www.deepleagues.com/?p=1733  - Sabol was regarded as the best high school catcher in this year’s draft, but his stock has dropped based upon questions arising regarding whether he can stick at catcher. Reports show Sabol has a good bat and impressive athleticism. He has decent—but not great—power potential.

Tony Thompson:

5-28 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/  - Top 30 College Third Base Prospects  - 7. Kansas JR 3B Tony Thompson - If he sticks at third, you’ve got a real player on your hands. If he’s a first baseman long-term, the bat will need to go up a level or two before you could realistically consider him a potential regular at the spot. For now, I think he’s got nimble enough feet to stick at third through his mid-twenties. Thompson’s successful return to health after an early season injury has allowed him time to showcase the plus arm and plus power that should get him drafted in the first five rounds no matter what teams think about his defense.






Sammy Solis:

6-1 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/  - 3. San Diego SO LHP Sammy Solis - 90-92 FB pre-injury, now sitting more regularly 87-89, but pitch maintains serious late life through zone; plus 77-78 CU; excellent 71-75 CB when on; 76-78 mystery pitch that has been identified as either a harder CB with bite or the beginnings of a SL; coming back from ruptured disc in back; 6-5, 228 pounds; (4.07 FIP; 9.88 K/9; 2.09 BB/9)

Marcus Littlewood:

6-1 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/2010/06/01/marcus-littlewood-report/#more-6842  - Marcus Littlewood, INF - 6-3, 190 - Bats: S, Throws: R - PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall and rangy, medium hips, long limbs. Plenty of physical projection. STRENGTHS: Bat will be the thing. Good bat speed, compact RH stroke, ability to go to right field, good hands, some lift. Above-average arm keeps him on left side. Solid and smooth defender, good footwork, positions himself correctly, heady player. Very solid pro qualities, shows aptitude for self-correction and ability to adjust. Fair athlete. WEAKNESSES: Lacked physical strength for wood power when I saw him; what power he has will come in time. Swing occasionally long at times. SUMMARY: Very solid all-around pro infield prospect. Bat will be the thing in the coming years. GRADES (Present/Future): Hit 30/60 Power 30/60 Arm 50/50 Run 50/50 Field 50/50 Overall Future Potential: 54
