4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx? article=2253 - OF Jackie Bradley (South Carolina): Bradley may have set a record in his quick return from a broken hamate bone this spring, so don’t expect to see his true power this spring. He is hitting .360-2-13. He’s a high-level hitter when healthy, with just enough speed to impact the game. His throwing arm? Bradley threw 101 mph from right field at Perfect Game’s 2008 Pre-Draft Showcase.
6-12-10 from: - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wait-til-next-year-2011-draft-preview - Outfield - Best Player: Jackie Bradley Jr., CF, South Carolina, .367/.468/.585. Those of you that follow Aaron Fitt on the college beat at Baseball America know his affinity for Bradley Jr., who is the best combination of tools and performance in this draft class. Bradley Jr. is a very smooth baseball player that has never been out of sorts in the SEC, and has just started to tap into his power potential. The Gamecocks were simply not the same when he was out of the lineup with a broken hand earlier this season.

Carolina, 5'10 175, L/R, runs well, puts the bat on the ball, playable arm and range to be a 4th OF off the bench, just doesn't have that power to generate any excitement for me, but clubs love him.

6-22-10 from: - http://projectprospect.com/article/2010/06/19/college-world-series-scouting-preview - The Gamecocks have one of the top position player prospects for 2011 in Jackie Bradley Jr. A strong runner with a smooth left-handed swing, Bradley has a chance to go in the first round if he can improve on a very strong 2010 campaign in which he lead team in both batting average and on-base percentage, hitting .371/.477/.587 with more walks (38) than strikeouts (31). Bradley often gets compared to Denard Span, and while that may be an easy comp based on position and skin color, Bradley and Span actually do share similar skill sets and some mechanical similarities in their swings.
6-23-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/postseason/college-world-series/2010/2610232.html - But facing elimination against top-seeded Arizona State, the Gamecocks won in big and sexy fashion Tuesday afternoon. South Carolina banged out eight hits—highlighted by a three-run homer by Jackie Bradley Jr. Bradley, a sophomore center fielder, went 3-for-4 with a career-high four RBIs and is now 5-for-8 in Omaha. He is also hitting .458/.545/.806 with six homers and 26 RBIs in his current 18-game hitting streak.
6-23 from: - http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/MLB_Draft#ixzz0rj9JFPjP - Later, in the postgame press conference, South Carolina center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. displayed a quiet, unassuming demeanor despite going 3-for-4 with three runs and four RBIs. Three of those ribbies came via home run that helped fuel an eight-run Gamecocks outburst in the second inning.
6-25 from: - http://www.deepleagues.com/?p=1878 - But according to this report, Bradley’s throws from right field during Perfect Game’s scouting showcase were clocked at 101 mph (only faster velocity I could find was something that claimed Jarred Cosart hit 103). I’m not an expert on outfield throwing velocities (how fast are Ichiro’s throws?) and how much velocity should factor into grading an outfielder’s arm, but assuming the elite arm strength is legitimate, what makes Bradley’s defense special is he combines it with excellent speed and great instincts running down fly balls in CF. As this writer says, Bradley has “the range and speed of a CF and the arm of a RF.” He can also hit. At the plate, Bradley is batting .374 this season with 13 home runs and 58 RBI’s. The strikeout/walk ratio is also impressive, as he’s leading his team with 39 bb’s as compared to 33 k’s. I have heard some reports describing him as a raw hitter, but judging from those statistics and the few at bats I have seen, plate discipline does not appear to be a serious problem. One question is whether he can hit for power. The collegiate power numbers are good, but although based upon a small sample size, he had zero hitting with wood bats in the cape league. Moreover, he is not a particularly big guy (5’10, 175), so I thought going into the CWS the reason for not ranking him high would be an inability to hit for power. But I have been really impressed with his swing and bat speed in the CWS, and it’s difficult to imagine the power will not arrive.

2. Mikie Mahtook -
12-23-9 fr. http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - SO OF Mikie Mahtook (2011) projects to do just about everything well at the big league level. His tools all grade out as above-average or better, but the gap between where some of his skills currently are and where they ultimately need to be is substantial. Mahtook has made steady progress narrowing that gap since enrolling at LSU, but his performance this spring will be heavily scrutinized by scouts expecting big things out of the potential 2011 first rounder. Mahtook is a plus athlete with above-average raw power, above-average speed, a strong arm, and the potential to play an above-average centerfield as a professional.

4. Dwight Smith –
11-2 from http://www.thehardballtimes.com/ : - Dwight Smith, OF, 2011, Peachtree City, Ga., Canes - Wowee. Fastest bat I saw in the tournament, and if his swing needs any tuning, that’s for someone far smarter than me. Power to spare (despite being 5-foot-11), good plate coverage, quiet hands and load… he’s dialed in. It stands to reason; this is the son of the former big leaguer of the same name. He’s a great athlete and an above-average baserunner. However, it looked like things were a bit of an adventure in the outfield. I think he’ll be a top-round draft pick in 2011.
6-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/ - The top 2011 player that will be there is Dwight Smith, an outfielder from McIntosh HS near here, and he's the son of the former Major League outfielder. There are dozens of other players I want to see, and I don't know pitching schedules, so I could be missing Adam Griffin (Forsyth Country Day HS, NC) by not getting up for the 9:00 game, but his team (Dirtbags 17's) aren't playing a difficult pool matchup, so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see him this weekend

4-7-10 from: link - OF Alex Dickerson (Indiana): The 6-3, 210-pound Dickerson doesn’t offer much on defense except playable left-field/first-base tools, but his lefthanded bat makes up for the difference. He can drive the ball out of the park to all fields, but especially to left-center, a nice attribute to see in a young power hitter. The California native is hitting .444-12-39 this spring after being selected the Big 10 Freshman of the Year in 2009.
6-12-10 from: - link - Small School Sleeper: Alex Dickerson, LF, Indiana, .419/.472/.805. There just simply doesn’t exist the possibility of putting up that batting line with Indiana’s tough non-conference schedule, and not be a prospect. Dickerson will decide between USA Baseball and the Cape this summer, and is in line to follow Josh Phegley’s path from Bloomington to the first few rounds of the draft.

5-10 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/05/10/wac-players-of-the-week-11/#more -26193 - Fresno State’s Dusty Robinson has been named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Baseball Hitter of the Week, for May 3-9. Robinson, a sophomore outfielder from Bakersfield, Calif. (Centennial HS), hit .571 (12-for-21), helping the Bulldogs to a four-game series sweep at New Mexico State. Robinson recorded 11 runs, 12 hits, 12 RBI, four home runs, four walks, two doubles and a triple last week. He also had a slugging percentage of 1.333 and an on-base percentage of .619. In the series opener against NM State, Robinson tied his career high at bats with seven and recorded four hits with five RBI. In the third game of the series, Robinson went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a triple and five RBI.
5-11-10 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/05/11/tcbb-players-of-the-week-may-10th - The College Baseball Blog continues our tradition of naming National Player and Pitcher of the Week. This week we honor Dusty Robinson of Fresno State as our Player of the Week while San Diego RHP Kyle Blair is our Pitcher of the Week. Robinson helped Fresno State to a four game sweep of WAC leader New Mexico State, bringing them within half a game of the Aggies. Dusty went 12-21 in the four games, hitting 4 homeruns, 2 doubles and a triple while accumulating 11 runs and 12 RBI. Robinson had a slugging percentage of 1.333 on the week, as well as an on base percentage of .619.

Correctible flaws.
12. Kes Carter:
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - OF Kes Carter (Western Kentucky): The Hilltoppers are still somewhat overlooked with Kentucky and Louisville in the same state, but are 24-7 and look like a big-time program. The 6-1, 200-pound, lefthanded-hitting Carter is their best athlete, with a plus arm/speed combination and a bat (.362-5-36, 10 SB’s) that is starting to show its potential.
13. Jason Coats:
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - OF Jason Coats (Texas Christian): Scouts say that the ball just explodes off the 6-2, 195-pound Coats’ bat when he squares up balls, which is very frequently. The righthanded hitter’s defensive/athletic tools are solid but unspectacular, so the bat is going to have to carry him. He is hitting .422-5-27 this spring.
14. Kyle Gaedele:
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - OF Kyle Gaedele (Valparaiso): Valparaiso is a peer school in Indiana of NCAA basketball runner-up Butler, so there may be some positive karma at work here. The 6-5, 230-pound Gaedele played with LSU star CF Mikie Mahtook last summer in the Prospect League, and scouts were split on which was the better athlete, which speaks loudly. Gaedele is a plus-run/plus-throw athlete with excellent defensive instincts, and his bat is moving forward nicely this spring (.352-3-27).
15. Nick Martini:
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - OF Nick Martini (Kansas State): Martini isn’t a physical specimen at 5-10, 180, but the lefthanded hitter has slightly above-average speed and a strong throwing arm. What he can really do, though, is hit. He’s at .402-2-30 this year with a 16:8 walk/strikeout ratio, and has hit everywhere he’s played his entire life. Martini’s profile doesn’t often get drafted high, but many players like Martini end up playing in the big leagues.
16. Cohl Walla:
4-7-10 from: http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2253 - OF Cohl Walla (Texas): Walla joins Purke as the only freshmen identified here, and will be a draft-eligible sophomore. He worked his way into the Texas starting lineup after three weeks and looks like he won’t give up his spot (.360-2-13, 7 SB’s in 17 starts). Walla’s run and throw tools are both plusses, and if he hits and hits with power like he’s shown so far, he’s a top-3 round pick for sure in 2011.
17. Dominic Jose -
11-2 from http://www.thehardballtimes.com/ : - Dominic Jose, Royals Baseball Club—Athletic, lanky body, sweet LH swing, cannon arm. 2011.
18. Trey Watkins -
12-23-9 fr. http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - SO OF Trey Watkins (2011) can run like the dickens. That’s fast. You know it’s fast because it prompted me to say something like he can run like the dickens. That’s not a phrase I’m willing to use publicly unless it was oh so true. Watkins’s plus-plus running ability allows him to cover huge chunks of ground in the field. His compact 5-8, 190 pound frame is very well proportioned with those explosive fast twitch muscles that make the eyes of scouts widen. I know this is a cop-out, but Watkins is a player you really need to watch play to understand. His upside could be Bobby Abreu with more speed and less home run power. JR OF Tyler Holt (2010) of Florida State is the best current prospect comp (although Holt strikes out a lot more) I can come up with; Holt is draft-eligible this year, so it’ll be interesting to see if his draft standing works as a litmus test to Watkins’s 2011 draft stock.
19. Jack Mosbacher – Stanford -
1-23-10 from http://www.baseballdraftreport.com/ : - SO OF Jack Mosbacher (2011) is officially listed as a sophomore despite not playing for the Cardinal as a freshman. Typically players who don’t get into any actual games get the redshirt tag, whether or not it was a planned redshirt season or not. Mosbacher could be listed as a redshirt freshman, but is instead referred to as a sophomore. His draft year remains the same either way, so there really isn’t any point talking about this, but these are the things you need to ramble on about to fill space in a paragraph that is supposed to be about a guy named Mosbacher. To his credit, Mosbacher actually sounds like a fascinating person (involved in multiple theater productions, interested in a career in public service, and has parents who were both tremendous athletes) and a prospect with some upside (above-average speed and arm, enough defensive tools to play centerfield, leadoff hitter profile). We’ll see.
20. Kyle Johnson –
3-14 from: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/baseball/blog/ncaabb_experts/post/Washington-State-s-Johnson-seriously-injured?urn=ncaabb,227806 - Washington State captured an important 7-5 win over Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon to even the series at 1-1, but the contest was marred by a gruesome injury to Cougars center fielder Kyle Johnson. With the Aggies batting in the bottom of the ninth inning, designated hitter Joe Patterson sent a ball deep into right-center, where Washington State's Johnson and right fielder Derek Jones were both trying to make the catch. Johnson and Jones ran into each other and Johnson's forehead collided with Jones' knee. Johnson was attended to by medical personnel on the field near the warning track for nearly 20 minutes before being transported via ambulance to College Station Medical Center. - UPDATE (Saturday, 9 p.m.): Just got off the phone with Washington State coach Donnie Marbut. Coach Marbut said that Johnson underwent some tests and he does appear to have a bad concussion. However, Johnson is now at the team hotel in College Station and stable. Marbut said that Johnson will be further evaluated and at least will be out a week from game action. It does appear, though, that Johnson will be fine.
21. Jeremy Rathjen -
3-15-10 from http://pnrscouting.com/rankings_2010_houstoncollegeclassic.html - Top 10 Players (2011 Draft Class) - Jeremy Rathjen, OF, Rice Univ. - 3-9 with a walk on the weekend, but shined best out in his two games in center field where he recorded eight putouts and showed solid range and reads; flashed the leather laying-out for a ball in the left-center gap on Friday against Texas in a bit of an "anything you can do" back-and-forth with Longhorns CF Connor Rowe.
22. Kameron Brunty:

23. Tristan Moore
3/8 from: http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - SO OF/1B Tristan Moore (2011) and Wright State singled Virginia to death in the Raiders’ huge upset win in Charlottesville. Moore’s final line (3-4, R, K) works well with the reports on his tools. His tools grade out as average or better in all phases except power potential. His plus arm, above-average speed, and leadoff hitter profile with the bat will keep him getting looks from pro teams.
24. Johnathan Taylor:
3-19 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - Saturday: SO OF Johnathan Taylor (Georgia): 1-3, 3 BB, RBI, 3 R - Sunday: SO OF Johnathan Taylor (Georgia): 1-1, 3 BB, RBI, R - Taylor may spell his name weirdly, but he’s a really interesting 2011 prospect all the same. He’s a leadoff hitter all the way (good patience, no power), but has enough in the way of speed (plus) and defense (crazy range in center) that he should have a career as a backup outfielder even if the bat doesn’t allow him to start
25. Nick Ramirez:
4-12-10 from: http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/12/big-west-players-of-the-week-2 - Cal State Fullerton’s Nick Ramirez (Anaheim, Calif./Katella HS) collected Big West Baseball Field Player of the Week honors after producing six of the team’s 22 runs and helping the team to three wins against nationally ranked opponents. Ramirez batted .333 (5-for-15) with three runs and six RBI as the Titans defeated No. 3 UCLA and took two of three games in a key Big West series versus rival UC Irvine. The sophomore blasted three home runs to help him post a .933 slugging percentage for the week.
6-14-10: Named to 3rd Team NCBWA 2010 All-America Team - Nick Ramirez - .346, 62-R, 28-2B, 16-HR, 75-RBI
26. David Popkins:
5-24-10 from: - http://www.bigwest.org//story.asp?story_id=13858 - OF David Popkins (San Diego, Calif./Saint Augustine HS) paced the UC Davis offense in four victories, hitting an impressive .625 (15-for-24) to garner Big West Baseball Field Player of the Week accolades. Popkins hit 200 points higher than the next Aggie batter as the Aggies recovered from a Tuesday loss at Nevada to win four straight. The sophomore led the Aggies to their first series sweep of the season, batting .786 (11-for-14) against UC Santa Barbara. In Sunday’s 9-8 win in 10 innings, Popkins went 4-for-4 and blasted a pair of home runs en route to a five-RBI effort. He also drew a bases loaded walk in the 10th inning to collect the game-winning RBI. Popkins posted another four-hit performance in Saturday’s 11-6 win. He scored twice and drove in the game-tying run in the fifth inning. Early in the week, Popkins recorded triples in back-to-back games against Nevada and Santa Clara. He leads the team in batting average (.387), runs (38), hits (67) and RBI (38).

31. James Ramsey:
6-21-10 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - 2011 MLB Draft Players to Know – Florida State - SO OF James Ramsey (.291/.443/.539; 48/41 BB/K; 10/11 SB; 206 AB) - Ramsey is generally seen as one of the better 2011 college outfield prospects, but at this point in his development he’s little more than an above-average bat to me. His arm is currently average at best and his range in the outfield is below-average. In addition, he’s a decent runner who picks his spots on the bases well. College players limited to leftfield need to be able to hit a ton to make it in pro ball.
32. Brandon Nimmo:
6-23-10 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702 - Day 1 at TOS: - CF, Brandon Nimmo for the Am. Legion group, showed a quick bat with solid contact and slightly abv ave speed out of the box from the left side, also displayed a solid arm with carry during warmups on the practice diamond. Ran 4.16 and 4.22 and 4.3 on a slight turn on a double.
6-25 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/ - The Tournament of Stars - a showcase event for USA Baseball held every June in North Carolina - is designed to be a forum to compile an 18-and-under team to represent the United States in the IBAF 18U World Championships this July. Keith Law from espn.com recently filed two reports from the event. Here are some highlights from Keith's reports. - •Outfielder Brandon Nimmo needs to get out of Cheyene, WY where he can find a high school baseball team to play with and show his talent
33. Daniel Camerena:

Worse case scenario he plays 3 years in college and gets a chance at the next level. Cathedral Cath., Bonita CA.
34. Colin Shaw:
6-27 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?q=Y&a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702&p=2 - Day two at TOS - OF, Colin Shaw, Westlake HS, Texas 6'0 180, L/L, gamer, plays to win and shows enough ability to watch in 2011 for sure, another one that needs some seasoning so 4 year probably best bet. Made contact vs 88 plus mph fb and stood in there.
35. Desmond Henry:
6-27 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?q=Y&a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702&p=2 - Day two at TOS - OF, Desmond Henry, 5'11 160, R/R, can run and stole a few bases at will. Bat speed is there and he covers ground in the OF, not a bad arm, 40 on the scale and will get better with more exposure and dedication to the game. Centenial HS, Compton CA. Loved his aggressiveness.
