Noe Ramirez: - 11-11-10 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - #21 - RHP Noe Ramirez Cal State-Fullerton 6'2 185 - live arm with heavy fb in low 90's mostly, touches 93 on occ, hard 11/6 cb that has late drop action, excellent command and plus control, adding straight change more to repertoire.
Danny Hultzen: - 11-11-10 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - #22 - LHP Danny Hultzen Virginia 6'2 1/2 195 L/L - also a quality hitter and first base man, Hultzen has a chance to be a 3-4 man in ML rotation, shows enough ML velo on Fb, range is 88-93, most are 89-91 with sink when down, gets hurt middle up in zone, also cb tends to flatten out and backdoor type action vs RHH, needs to lead with elbow and run cb in on RHH. Also straight change that's workable now and should improve in pro ball with more exposure.
Henry Owens: - 11-11-10 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - #23 - LHP Henry Owens Edison HS, Huntington Beach Calif 6'6 190 - loosey goosey lefty with deception, fb runs up there as high as 93, most are 88-90/91, with life away from RHH and sink, backdoor type cb with sharpness at 72 and straight change that gets hitters out front in HS, will need to work with repeat and release points on cb & ch, has the control of body to do that and in a hurry. A little more mature than most HS pitchers, but has yet to fill out physically and has added 2-3 mph each year the last 3 years in HS. Should reach low 90's and sustain that in pro ball.
