Wofford preseason All-American catcher Mac Doyle’s status is up in the air. I spoke with Wofford College head coach Todd Interdonato stated that he still hasn’t made a decision on whether Doyle will play this season after having an injury to his throwing arm. Doyle was expected to lead the Terriers lineup in 2011 after hitting .377 with 16 homers and 75 RBI last season. He was also named a Second team ABCA/Rawlings All-American. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily/.
We continue the countdown today at number 36 with Long Beach State RHP Andrew Gagnon. The Northridge, California, native attended Liberty High School in Brentwood where he earned four letters in baseball. Gagnon struggled as the Sunday starter for the Dirtbags as a Freshman in 2009, going just 3-7 on the season, though he showed moments of brilliance that signaled hope for the future. In his first start of his career at USC, Gagnon earned a no-decision by throwing 5 innings of work, giving up 5 hits and only one earned run in a 5-4 victory. He earned the first win of his career at South Carolina two weeks later, again going 5 innings while striking out 7. Gagnon gave up almost 12 hits per 9 innings in an up and down 2009, but showed signs of improvement over the offseason, which led him earning the Friday starter spot over 2010 2nd round draft pick Jake Thompson part way through the season. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2010/12/17/top-100-countdown-36-andrew-gagnon-long-beach-state/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollegeBaseballDaily+%28College+Baseball+Daily%29&utm_content=Twitter

Scott McGough - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2010/12/16/scott-mcgough-oregon-top-100-countdow/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollegeBaseballDaily+%28College+Baseball+Daily%29&utm_content=Twitter - We continue the countdown today at number 37 with Oregon RHP Scott McGough. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, native attended Plum Senior High School where he was a two sport athlete playing basketball in addition to baseball. As a senior, he was named the East Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Player of the Year and was named all-WPIAL. The Pittsburgh Pirates selected him in the 46th round (1,371 overall) but he decided to head out west to play for legendary coach George Horton at Oregon.
2012: - . RHP Yency Almonte comes in at #47. The Miami Columbus righty doesn't have the velocity right now, but he has a very projectable body and delivery. There is a lot more to come from Yency. #58 Correlle Prime also falls into this category - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=185
Parker French - rhp - Dripping Springs HS, Dripping Springs, Texas - French put one of the best overall fastballs of the event on display, hitting 93 mph, sitting in the low-90s, and showing solid command with life. He is a sturdy 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, and utilizes an under-control delivery that helps him to produce a good release point and consistency across his offerings. French's curve is a mid-70s hook with 11-to-5 action, flashing good bite and spotting fairly well. His off-speed is an upper-70s change-up that he throws with some armspeed deception. He took the mound twice, throwing multiple innings each time, and allowing a run in neither appearance.
