7-27-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=98 - Bubba Starling, OF/RHP, Gardner-Edgerton (KS) HS - I unfortunately left Cary before Starling pitched at the Tournament of Stars, so I only saw him as a position player. From what I saw and from knowing that the University of Nebraska intends to use him as a primary outfielder and secondary reliever, I’ll list Starling first as an outfielder. He didn’t throw that well from right over the week, but he was accurate, got good reads on fly balls, and showed some bat-head ability from the right side. At 6’3”, 210 lbs, Starling will grow into big league power and runs average to plus, depending on whether you look at his home-to-first or his 60 yard-dash. Starling is actually a three-way prospect; he’s signed with Nebraska on a football scholarship to play quarterback.
8-6 from: - link - Starling, of Gardner-Edgerton (Gardner, Kan.), went two innings and gave up one run on one hit with two strikeouts and also had an RBI double in the first inning to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 6-3 victory over the Washington Nationals in the late game Thursday. He faced Washington's Dylan Davis, an all-state standout from Redmond, Wash., who gave up two runs in his only inning of work.
8-11-10 from: - http://baseballanalysts.com - Derek “Bubba” Starling (Edgerton, Gardner, KN) led the White Sox to a victory, pitching two innings (2-1-1-1-1-2) and knocking in the first run with a ground-rule double that the left fielder lost in the sun. His fastball sat in the high 80s and touched 90. The righthander has reportedly thrown in the low 90s but hasn't pitched much this summer. He hit .339/.474/.532 with three HR and 16 BB and 12 SO in 78 PA and tossed 4.1 scoreless innings with 7 SO and only 1 BB for Team USA last month. The tall and lanky Starling (6-5, 195) is an outstanding two-sport athlete who has verbally committed to play baseball and quarterback at Nebraska. The five-tool player ran a 6.56 in the 60-yard dash, tied for the fifth-fastest time in the SPARQ testing on the first day of the Area Code Games.
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-preseason-all-america-tournament/2010/2610524.html - OF/RHP - Gardner-Edgerton HS, Gardner, Kan. Starling is a talented athlete who some say is the best prep athlete in Kansas state history. On the baseball field, Starling plays the outfield and pitches. He shows five-tool potential as a position player. He has a quick bat with power, runs a 6.53-second 60-yard dash and shows a 90-94 mph fastball on the mound. Starling is committed to play quarterback and baseball at Nebraska.
8-15-10 from: - http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=mlb_draft&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fblog%3fname%3dmlb_draft - At the top of that list, of course, was Bubba Starling, who was extremely impressive in his inning of work, with a fastball from 89-92 mph and a hammer curveball -- the best I've seen him throw -- at 73-76 mph with good depth and two-plane break; all three outs he recorded came via the strikeout. Starling is still just throwing rather than really pitching; he doesn't get his lower half involved, especially not his hips, and between the potential for improving the delivery and the substantial physical projection he offers, it's hard to forecast future velocity below the 92-95 range.
8-16-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/8/16/1625615/2010-under-armour-all-american#storyjump - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner HS (Kan.) - Committed to Nebraska as a quarterback and to play baseball, Starling is one of the best athletes in the draft, and is sky-rocketing up the charts as a both a hitter and a pitcher. While he also showcased a 90-92 mph fastball and a 74-76 mph 11-5 curveball with good two-plane break on the mound, he is a true five-tool talent as a position player, with plus speed to go along with the plus arm in the outfield. At 6’5’’, 190 pounds, Starling profiles best in right field as he continues to mature and add muscle on his lean frame. At the plate, Starling displayed tremendous bat speed in batting practice using a fairly compact swing and generating good loft. During game action, Starling showed a patient approach and rarely chased after pitches out of the zone. There is some cleaning up to do, as he could benefit from starting his hands higher, but he barreled up pitches better than anyone at the event, and with his frame, the potential is there for a plus hitter with plus power.
8-16-10: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=130 - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner-Edgerton HS (KS) - There is not much Starling can't do. At 6'5, 200, Starling has all the tools to become a legit five tool player. He has a plus arm, and is a blazer on the bases. Starling has enormous power and he showed it in BP, launching balls deep into the left field bleachers at Wrigley. Starling also pitched an inning on the mound, sitting 90-92 and flashing a devastating curve ball. He is a top pitching prospect, but his future lies in his five tool ability in the field.
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - OF Derek "Bo" Starling Gardner-Edgerton HS, Kansas 6'4 1/2 200 R/R - put himself on the map this summer with an excellent showcase and is one of top HS QB's in nation, verbal to Nebraska. Shows above arm arm strength and has pitched with very crude mechanics but gets the job done on the hill. Runs very well especially straight away, ran sub 6.6, 60, timed at 4.5 in 40 consistently which is good for a HS QB. Still rough around the edges, but raw strength, has yet to physically mature, shows plus power and ability to steal bases with his speed. Definitely someone who's made a name for himself this summer.
9-17-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today - To call Bubba Starling multi-talented would be an understatement. He's one of the top prospects for the 2011 draft thanks to his five-tool ability in the outfield, but he also owns a low-90s fastball on the mound and has been a highly coveted quarterback recruit. As he enters his senior year of high school, Starling knows he has some tough decisions ahead
9-17-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/draft/chat/2010/2610683.html - Thoughts on Bubba Starling? Specifically where he projects as a player and what his projected draft slot would be right now? Any concerns about him signing with Nebraska (where he's already commited) and playing football and baseball with the Big Red? Conor Glassey: He's an incredibly gifted athlete. He's a legit five-tool prospect in baseball that, if everything breaks right, could hit in the middle of the order and play center field. He could pitch if he wants to, although I like him much, much better as a position player. I'm sure he'd be a great option-style quarterback, if he wound up at Nebraska and he could also play D-I basketball if he were so inclined. He's just a freakishly good athlete. Google him and read about what he does on a football field. It's incredible. As a QB, he AVERAGED 11 yards per carry last year. Subscribers, of course, can also read a great feature about him that we just posted yesterday. And if you want a glimpse of him, check out Baseball America's video of him from Tournament of Stars this summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvPULXKU2k8
