Matt Barnes, Jed Bradley, Ryan Dunn, Dylan Bundy, Nicky Delmonico

Matt Barnes:



I was at the UConn and Louisville matchup on Friday evening to take another look at both Matt Barnes and George Springer. Both players did not disappoint as Barnes pitched eight innings locating his fastball on both corners and throwing a devasting slider. He even showed an excellent curveball a couple times on the evening. He ended up sitting around 95 MPH and hit 97 on a couple of occasions on his fastball. He finished the evening by allowing six hits and two unearned runs in the eighth to up his record to 10-3. Springer also was solid going 2-4 with three RBI while stealing three bases to bring his season total to 25.

Jed Bradley:


The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Bradley never truly asserted himself as a legitimate high-end prospect for the 2011 draft, or was even on the radar of many clubs, until last summer at the Cape Cod League all-star game. He worked in only one inning, but many of the close to 100 scouts in attendance thought he had the best arm in the contest. Not only did Bradley exhibit a very easy, fluid arm action with sound mechanics, but he was the only pitcher with above-average stuff who commanded everything in his arsenal. His fastball was a steady 93-94 mph, and he complemented it with a solid curve and change. Bradley subsequently went on to lead the Cape League in strikeouts, with 44 in 41 innings, while walking just six. His strikeout total held up as the league’s best, even as he departed the Cape with two weeks remaining in the regular season. Prior to his all-star moment, Bradley had achieved relatively modest success in his career, and had pitched largely in obscurity. He went undrafted out an Alabama high school in 2008, and went just 2-3, 6.65 as a freshman at Georgia Tech, though struck out 49 in 44 innings http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5642  





Ryan Dunn:


Oregon State junior shortstop Ryan Dunn hit for the cycle in a 13-3 victory over Portland. Dunn completed the cycle in the eighth inning with a two run triple. The triple was Dunn’s first career triple with the Beavers after transferring from Orange Coast College http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/05/11/cbd-quick-hits-for-may-10th  



Dylan Bundy:


This season, Dylan has been clocked at 100 four times in one game. He's averaging just above 95 mph a game. The first fastball — and second pitch of the game — against Edmond North on April 16 broke the magic threshold. The twist is that one Major League scout charting Bundy erroneously jotted down the first pitch was a fastball, clocked at 89. A former Owasso player, who tapped the scout on the shoulder to let him know that the first pitch was actually Bundy's cutter, corrected him.

Nicky Delmonico:


Delmonico has a good swing from the left side and the ability to play multiple positions. Delmonico’s bat projects well at the professional level. He has a solid approach at the plate and possesses good bat speed. Delmonico’s power production has fallen off this year, but he is a strong kid who should put up some power numbers in the future. Delmonico has moved behind the plate for Farragut this season after playing his high school games at short previously. He has also played first for Team USA. Some scouts see his future at third. His stock is highest at catcher, but his experience at multiple positions is a plus.
