10-12- 11:- http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/10/5/2466822/2012-mlb-mock-draft#comments - RHP w/ sick slider Luke Shearrow out of John A. Logan College - Prediction: This kid out of John A. Logan College in southern Illinois, Luke Shearrow, will go high in the draft. He is under the radar right now, but not for long, and he has “It”. He that swagger about him and real mound presence and of course, Talent. This kid is 6’ 4" 190# RHP with a 92 mph two seam and a nice change-up to back it up. But his real bread and butter is a sick slider! I saw him a few weeks ago at a scout day and he looked great. All of the scouts there, both MLB and D-1, were talking about him. I don’t expect a kid of this caliber to take a D-1 scholarship anywhere but to go in the draft and start his professional pitching career.
10-5-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/10/05/stryker-trahan-2012-draft-profile - Stryker Trahan is a catcher with legitimate lefthanded power. One of the things that jumps out about Stryker is the amount of athleticism he brings to the position. Trahan is known for his power and overall hitting ability. He has a short stroke with excellent bat speed. Trahan has good plate discipline and makes solid contact consistently. He also brings good speed to the table, running 60′s from 6.54 to 6.67. Offense is Trahan’s calling card, but he has the tools needed to succeed at catcher, as well. He moves well behind the plate and has a strong arm. Reported pop times for Trahan range from 1.85 to 2.01. Should he be needed to move from catcher in the future, right field would be his most likely landing spot. Trahan’s combination of lefthanded power and athleticism should land him in the upped half of the first round of the draft.
10-11-11: - http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/455/prep-arms-the-difference-in-class-of-2012 - Max Fried, LHP -- Harvard-Westlake (North Hollywood, Calif.) Fried, who transferred from Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.) to join forces with Giolito, offers a fastball in the 89-92 mph range and a potentially plus curveball and changeup. He stays over the rubber well and is a good athlete, running sub seven-second 60 times over the summer. He's hit 94 on the gun in the past and his 6-foot-4, 175-pound frame offers plenty of projection to suggest he could sit in the 93-96 mph range down the road. Fried is committed to UCLA, but could perform his way into the Top 10 where the bonus money exceeds $2 million.
