Draft 2012: - Tom Murphy, Kyle Twomey, Adam Brett Walker, Gavin Cecchini, Austin Goth

Tom Murphy:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments - Tom Murphy, Buffalo, 6’1 200, R/R, playing for Team USA over the summer, this sturdy backstop has surprising ower and a nice line drive stroke to RF and LF alleys, shows solid arm strength and sub 2.0 release times to 2b, shifts well and is alert, could be one of top catchers taken in 2012 MLB Draft. Love his attitude on the field.


Kyle Twomey:


8-12-11: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=290 - LHP Kyle Twomey (6'3" 165, Placentia, CA) also looked good, with a quick, loose, easy arm action and a body that is a long way from being physically mature. He mixed in his change-up very well, showed some pitchability and then consider he was in the 87-90 mph range, with a solid curveball too, and we have a prospect. I also liked that he holds runners and has an excellent pick-off move.


Adam Brett Walker:


8-14-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/08/10/the-good-the-disappointing-from-the-cape - Adam Brett Walker, OF/1B, Jacksonville University- Fresh off an All-American season for Jacksonville, Walker arrived at the Cape with alot of momentum. He stalled out this summer, posting a .216/.271/.336 line and topping the league with 56 strikeouts.


Gavin Cecchini:


8-15-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/8/14/2362719/2011-under-armour-all-america-game-top-10-prospects - 2011 Under Armour All America Game Top 10 Prospects - 5. Gavin Cecchini 2012 SS 6'2 182 Lake Charles, LA Barbe - Gavin isn’t as good of a hitter as his brother, but he has a nice line drive stroke that should produce good average. He also can handle the middle infield better than Garin. He looks like he could stick at short. He has a good arm and good range with a very high baseball IQ.


Austin Goth:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments - Austin Goth, South Sioux City HS, Nebraska, 6’1 170, R/R, appeared at USA Trials in Sept. Austin is a good athlete, also runs well and has a nice arm that even translates on the mound. Was 84-87 on the bump with looseness out front, also showed bat speed with line drive alley doubles type power, frame to get bigger and stronger in time, will be a highly sought recruit for 2012, also now on the scouts’ radar for 2012 as well. Hopefully we’ll see him in Cary again next summer!
