Mack Draft - John Stilson, Kyle Winkler, Miquel Frias, Colby Holmes , and Drew Stankiewicz

We continue the list today with number 24 with Texas junior RHP John Stilson. The Texarkana, Texas native attended Texas High School where he was a three time letter winner as a shortstop. He helped his school to the postseason all three years and was named District MVP his senior season in 2008. He was also the district MVP in basketball his senior season, and earned three letters in football at wide receiver, earning first team all-district honors as a senior. Stilson went to Texarkana College to play shortstop, but was converted into a starting pitcher. The experiment worked, and he was named NJCAA All-American after going 12-1 with a 2.44 ERA and 78 K’s. The Minnesota Twins drafted Stilson in the 18th round of the 2009 draft out of Texarkana, but he declined to sign and moved on to Texas A&M. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2010/12/31/john-stilson-texas-am-top-100-countdown-24/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollegeBaseballDaily+%28College+Baseball+Daily%29&utm_content=Twitter



We continue the list today with number 25 with TCU junior RHP Kyle Winkler. The Sugar Land, Texas native attended Kempner High School where he was a three time letter winner. As a senior, he was named first-team all-state and all-district honors while being named the 167th top prospect in the country while being 19th in the state of Texas. He ended up being selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 37th round in the 2008 MLB Draft. Winkler’s freshman year saw him make 17 appearances (14 starts) as he went 7-1 with a 4.15 ERA. He ended up striking out 48 batters in 73 2/3 innings pitched. After the season was over, he was given an invite to the 2009 USA Collegiate National team but was not selected for the final roster. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2010/12/30/kyle-winkler-tcu-top-100-countdown/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollegeBaseballDaily+%28College+Baseball+Daily%29&utm_content=Twitter



Miquel Frias: - Miguel Frias is a junior outfielder at Lake Mary High School in Longwood, Fla., who plays for travel team powerhouse FTB Mizuno during the summer. Perfect Game has Frias ranked No. 418 in the national class of 2012 (No. 83 in Florida) so he has already caught the eye of people in the know. Frias was at the Boston Red Sox 5-Plex Player Development Complex Wednesday (Dec. 29) to participate in the Perfect Game National Underclass Showcase-Main Event along with six of his Mizuno teammates. This is a dead period for NCAA Division I recruiting, so there are no college coaches at the event. That didn’t seem to matter to Frias. He knew the value of being at the National Underclass-Main Event. “It shows your skills and how you’re doing overall,” he said. “You get to show your speed and stuff and in games you (sometimes) don’t. “ - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5149 



My next top performer from the 2010 summer season is Colby Holmes of the Florence RedWolves. Colby is a 5-11/200 pound rhp from the University of South Carolina. He hails from Conway, SC and he attended Conway High School. He was rated as the 7th best prospect in the state by Perfect Game. The Atlanta Braves selected him in the 47th round of the 2009 MLB Draft. It looks like his decision to attend South Carolina paid off, as he was a midweek start for the Gamecocks and he picked up a NCAA Championship ring with South Carolina. - http://www.collegesummerbaseball.net/2010/12/top-performers-from-2010-colby-holmes.html  



Drew Stankiewicz: - 2b/ss - Gilbert HS, Gilbert, Ariz. - Stankiewicz is an undersized middle-infielder with a nice glove and solid arm strength. He is capable of making the flashy play (and showcased that ability on multiple occasions at the event), but can get a little lazy with his footwork on the routine plays, causing some throws to sail. At the plate, Stankiewicz has a balanced set-up and does a decent job getting the barrel to the ball. He can over-swing and spin-off, providing evidence of some holes away, and he still needs to refine his strikezone command and ability to pick out pitches to drive. He's a slightly below-average runner, both out of the box and underway. http://diamondscapescouting.com/articles_2010acg_wraps_part1_11162010.html
