2012 Draft: - Orioles Nation - Top 50 Mock Draft



1. Lucas Giolito – RHP, Harvard-Westlake HS (Studio City, CA)

 Workhorse top of rotation frame, three plus pitch potential, should be fast moving prospect



2. Mark Appel – RHP, Stanford University

 Two plus pitches with slider that can play at MLB level, still a great deal of projection



3. Byron Buxton – OF, Appling County HS (Baxley, GA)

 True five tool center fielder, top of the order bat with power



4. Nick Williams – OF, Galveston Ball HS (Galveston, TX)

 Some of best tools in draft, bat speed and stroke show massive upside



5. Kevin Gausman – RHP, Louisiana State University

 Radar gun popping pitcher with three pitches, but needs to improve downhill action



 12. David Dahl – OF, Oak Mountain HS (Birmingham, AL)

 Could be a top 5 pick with solid spring, limited summer showcases hurt legit 5 tool player



 43. Courtney Hawkins – OF, Carroll HS (Corpus Christi, TX)

 Raw toolsy player with speed, power, with refinements solid 1st round potential
