7-3 from: - http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/07/03/early-follow-list-for-2011-mlb-draft - from Fanhouse.com MLB Draft guru Frankie Piliere – Kolten Wong OF Hawaii - Some good, game-usable power. Handles the wood bat and advanced pitching.
7-25: - http://www.fanhouse.com/ : - Fanhouse Top 70 Prospects - 68. Kolten Wong, OF, Hawaii
7-23 from: - http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100723/SPORTS/100729902 - “Kolten Wong (.330, 17 of 23 steals) is an outstanding player, probably one of outstanding hitters in the league,” said Myers. “He also runs the bases very well. He’s one of the better all-around players in the league. When we’ve had success against Orleans, we’ve kept him off the bases. Once he’s on, he’s very similar to Martinez. He’ll take second and third on two pitches.”

Kolten can flat out hit, runs well and can steal bases, puts the bat on the ball and goes with the pitch, instincts to be a very good utility player, will get to the big leagues quickly and shouldn't make it out of the supplemental first round at the least next year, barring any unforeseen circumstances for next June. A gamer with a great attitude.
7-27-10 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/07/27/2010-cape-cod-baseball-league-all-star-game-players-to-watch - Kolten Wong (Hawaii)- He is second in the league with a .331 batting average while hitting three homers and driving in six runs. He has 17 stolen bases in 24 attempts this summer. I saw Wong last summer with the USA Collegiate National Team where he had a .215 average with eight RBI in 21 games. He had a much stronger 2010 college season with Hawaii as he hit .357 with seven homers and 40 RBI while stealing 19 bases in 26 attempts.
8-21-10 from: - http://projectprospect.com/article/2010/08/21/2010-cape-cod-wrapup - The league MVP award went to Orleans second baseman Kolton Wong. Wong ended the Cape season with a robust .341/.426/.452 line. He drew walks in 11.6% of his plate appearances while striking out only 8.4%. Wong has a short, quick stroke and good speed; he stole 22 bases in 38 games. His small stature limits his physical projection, though scouting the 5-foot-9 college star is one of the best gigs in baseball since Wong plays for the University of Hawai’i. Defensively, Wong has decent range at second and soft hands. He's also spent time playing centerfield and catching. The lack of big-time tools and projection may keep him out of the 2011 first round, but Wong should provide excellent value to whichever team drafts him as one of college baseball best performers.
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - 2B-OF Kolten Wong Hawaii 5'9 185 L/R - quality hitter with good bat speed and enough power to hit 15 plus HR in pro ball, runs well, 4.2 from left and will steal bases. Solid arm strength and quick feet, range is good, can play 2B competently and with repeat and practice no doubt he'll go far in pro ball. Lots of similarities in his game compared to Ichiro without the great arm strength Ichiro has. Rainbows program will be closely watched. Held his own in Cape and was tough competing with TEAM USA in trials. Gamer!
