Scott Snodgrass, Adam Conley, Walker Moore, Colin O'Connell, Xavier Macklin, Danny Hultzen

Another southpaw, Scott Snodgrass, is also one to watch. He came in relief and picked up the victory in the opening game of the series, going 3 1/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out five. - http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110221&content_id=16694012&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb&tcid=tw_article_16694012  







Washington State JR LHP Adam Conley opened some eyes by peaking at 95-96 MPH on Friday. My earliest notes on him have him sitting 86-88 with a peak between 90-92. Amazing what some time working with a great college staff can do for a kid. Credit should also be given to Conley (by all accounts a really hard worker), as well as the natural maturation that comes with growing into a sturdy 6-3, 185 pound frame (up 15 pounds from his freshman year). http://baseballdraftreport.com/  






•Cal-State Fullerton got back to .500 on Monday by defeating nearby rival Long Beach State 4-3. Senior utility player Walker Moore led the offense by getting a key pinch hit RBI double on his way to a 2-2 night driving in two runs. The Titans pitching staff was led by Colin O’Connell who went 7.0 innings giving up five hits, and allowing just one run in the sixth inning. He struck out six while not giving up a walk. http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/02/22/foleys-quick-hits-for-feb-21st  






RF, Xavier Macklin, a sturdy built, 6'0 190 right fielder, Right/Right with legit alley power to LF. X runs 4.3 straight away which is solid average to 1b and he has an average arm for RF. X has carry on his throws and he tracks the ball well enough to the gap. X hit a bomb to the RF alley that carried over the way day 1 and the second day hit the ball hard 4 times with two hits, one was a one hopper to the LF alley wall off a 88 mph fb. X stays in there on the breaking ball but will get out front a bit with his front side and his hands stay back. X is a potential 20 HR guy with 20 plus SBs in the making. http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/  






By now, Danny Hultzen is a known commodity on Friday nights. For two years, the left-hander has anchored Virginia's weekend rotation, going a combined 20-1 with a 2.51 ERA as a freshman and sophomore. He's a fierce competitor with excellent command and very good stuff, so it was hardly surprising that his 2011 season got off to a sterling start Friday against Alabama-Birmingham. In 6 2/3 innings, Hultzen struck out 10 and allowed just one run, three hits and a walk. http://web.goldenspikesaward.com/index.html?page=news_archive&article_id=79
