2011 DRAFT: - Kyle Simon, Carlos Garmendia, Patrick Kullick, Wallace Gonzalez... and Daniel Camerena

Kyle Simon



10-5-10 from: - http://www.thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/10/05/kyle-simon-arizona-top-100/#more-30165  - RHP - He spent the summer of 2010 in the highly regarded Cape Cod Baseball League with the Orleans Firebirds. He ended up starting in seven games with a tough luck 1-2 record but had an outstanding ERA of 0.92. He seemed to figure out how to pitch this summer as his control was much better as he only allowed eight walks, two wild pitches, and two hit batters in his 39 innings of work. His work was good enough to get him into the CCBL All-Star game where he worked one inning giving up two hits and one unearned run. (CCBL All-State Game Live Blog
Recap). Frankie Pilere of Fanhouse.com recently ranked Simon as the 101st best pro prospect for the 2011 MLB Draft.



Carlos Garmendia:


10-4-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=151  - Miami-bound Carlos Garmendia looked very fluid at shortstop again and he’s got quite a pesky right bat. Garmendia is a small-framed 5’11” or so, but has the athleticism and pop to play at a high level despite the lack of raw strength.



Patrick Kullick:


10-2-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=150  - From the left side of the plate, outfielder Patrick Kulick showed a powerful stroke with wood bat power. Kulick, from Stoneman Douglas HS, is almost as big as Such. He has a very fluid swing and took an excellent batting practice session. He’s still unsigned as well.


Wallace Gonzalez:


10-1-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=149  - At #4, we have a primary outfielder from southern California named Wallace Gonzalez. Gonzalez is nearly an average runner with a plus arm, but his mere size (6’5”, 240 lbs) may lead him to first base down the road. Gonzalez is also one of the nation’s top wide receiver/tight end recruits and will likely sign a Pac-10 scholarship to play both baseball and football.


Daniel Camerena:


10-1-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=149  - Behind Vogelbach, we have Daniel Camarena at #6 who’s out of a different mold altogether from the Top-5. Camarena has a quick and fluid lefthanded swing that projects for power, but is not quite at the level of the five in front of him. Camarena is the best athlete, likely to be drafted as an outfielder or maybe even as a lefthanded pitcher.
