He has prototypical pitcher's size (6'6", 185) and is a former record-setting QB at Croatan HS, where he also won Jacksonville (NC) Daily News Player of the Year honors.
Brian Johnson:
7-9-11: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6002 - Brian Johnson, LHP/1B, Florida - After suffering a concussion down the stretch as part of Florida's championship series run, Johnson was relegated to designated hitter duties, a role he continued with the Collegiate National Team. With a tall, physically mature frame, his upside remains higher on the mound, but he employs one of the more advanced approaches at the plate of any college hitter. He put an easy swing on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the ninth inning on the home run mentioned above to drive a ball the opposite way over the left-field fence.
Colby Holmes:
7-15-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/07/13/colby-holmes-2012-draft-profile - Colby Holmes made good strides from 2010 to 2011. He is a short righthander with 3 pitches. Holmes throws a low 90′s fastball. 90-92 when I have seen him. He throws a slider with good move ment and also uses a changeup. Holmes has a high 3/4 arm slot and hides the ball well. He has been prone to giving up home runs since arriving at South Carolina.
Nolan Fontana:
7-15-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/07/16/nolan-fontana-2012-draft-profile - Nolan Fontana, a 2 time member of USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team, is one of the top defensive shortstops in college. Fontana was named to the SEC All-Defensive Team in both his freshman and sophomore years. He has great hands and a good arm at short. He also shows solid range for the position. Fontana has a good eye at the plate and takes alot of pitches. He is a good situational hitter with a bit of pop in his bat.
Joshua Turley:
7-19-11: - http://collegebaseball360.com/2011/07/19/roache-turley-take-weekly-cape-cod-league-honors - Wareham southpaw Joshua Turley (Baylor) has recorded two masterful performances to capture this week’s Coca Cola Pitcher of the Week award. In his two starts this week, Turley surrendered just three hits and one run over 12 innings. He struck out more than a batter than inning, recording 13 strikeouts this week while walking only two. Turley has been the epitome of consistent this season. After bouncing back from a rocky first appearance, Turley has given up only two runs in four starts. His 1-1 record this week brings him to 3-1 on the season, with a 2.03 earned run average. Turley has finished his sophomore season at Baylor, where he continues to show great promise. He seamlessly transitioned from a reliever to starter this past year, and has clearly continued to the role of starter this summer.
