Ben Roberts, Paul Snieder, Logan Ehlers, Tyler Wilson, Dylan Bundy

Ben Roberts – a 6-4, 195-pound, left-handed hitting/right-handed throwing outfielder – had been noticed before receiving an invitation to come to the National Pre-Draft. Perfect Game ranks him as the No. 1 prospect in the state of Montana in the high school class of 2011, and No. 244 nationally. There isn’t high school baseball in Montana, so Roberts has been playing since mid-April for a local American Legion team. Roberts played catcher, shortstop and third base as a youngster, but playing the outfield has always been his first love. perfectgame.



Paul Snieder, Northwestern - Jr., 1B, Honolulu, Hawaii / Punahou - Snieder picks up his first career Player of the Week award after leading Northwestern to a two-game series sweep against Michigan over the weekend. The first baseman hit .750, slugged 1.250, drove in five runs and scored three more. The junior racked up three hits in both games and picked up his sixth home run of the season, a grand slam in the seventh inning of Game 1. Snieder also recorded hits in each of Northwestern’s non-conference wins during the week, improving his average to .370, which ranks third in the Big Ten. The Honolulu, Hawaii, native also ranks among the conference’s top five in slugging (.558) and on-base percentage (.456). bigten.



Logan Ehlers - Average height with a wide frame and soft upper body Not much effort in the delivery but did throw across his body a bit; 3/4 arm slot When throwing his slider, he occasionally dropped down to a low 3/4 arm slot, perhaps by design Fastball has average velocity with some late arm side run and sink Soft 11-5 curve ball lacked sharp break but looked like it will have good depth in the future Slider with 10-4 movement; looked slurvy at times Slider was inconsistent: sometimes showing good two-plane break, sometimes being very sharp and sometimes completely losing shape bullpenbanter.



Virginia senior RHP Tyler Wilson flirted with a no-hitter this past week, retiring the first 17 batters he faced before giving up the only hit he would allow at the 6 2/3rds inning mark; Wilson was pulled in the 7th with 2 out, finishing with 7.2IP and allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk while fanning 11 of the 24 batters he faced against #16-ranked Miami; prior to this year, Wilson was used as a closer but was asked to start when the rotation was thinned by injuries and draft defections prior to the season’s start; Wilson has since thrived in the starting role, going 6-0 with a 2.55 ERA, and 90K’s versus 19BB’s in 74 innings of work… .prospectnation



Dylan Bundy, RHP, Owasso HS (OK) - Pros: For a high school arm, Bundy has a remarkable arsenal in terms of both quality of stuff and depth. He sits at 94-96 mph, has touched 100, and adds three quality secondary pitches with a power curveball, a surprisingly advanced change, and a nasty 88-91 mph cut fastball with sharp movement. He has plus command, a clean delivery, and makes it look effortless. Cons: At 6-foot-1, Bundy doesn't have the height of a classic power pitcher, but he is wide-shouldered and tremendously strong, leaving his size as a minor issue at best. “He's a better pitcher than Jameson Taillon,” said one scouting director, referring to last year's second overall pick. “He's not as big or as projectable, but what do you have to project?” http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=13935
