Draft 2012: - Andrew Schorr, Trey Williams, Ron Miller, Joe Burcher, Steve Nyisztor


11-15-11: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6369  - Andrew Schorr (2012 LHP, Tri State Arsenal/NJ Super 17)- Schorr made a solid impression in his first travel ball event of his career. After missing his sophomore season of high school ball with a fractured left tibia suffered from running into the outfield fence during preseason workouts. Schorr bounced back to lead Audobon High School to a championship this spring. The 6-foot-2 southpaw was extremely effective in Jupiter, throwing seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits and two walks while mowing down 15 hitters in the two games he pitched. Schorr threw 64.5% of his pitches for strikes and generated a tournament best 44.5% whiff rate. Schorr's fastball touched 90 mph, while generally sitting 86-88, with sinking action. He also flashed a solid curveball that, while inconsistent, showed good depth and quick spin while sitting between 70-75 mph. While his stuff is not overpowering, it is good, and two talented lineups (Dulin Dodgers, Georgia PG Texas Orange) failed to make much contact at all against him (six balls in play, three ground outs, three air outs).



11-22-11: - http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/814/lucas-giolito-leads-loaded-cali-senior-class  - Here’s a look at the Top 10 California high school prospects in the Class of 2012. 4. Trey Williams, 3B, Valencia (Valencia, Calif.) Williams is a right-handed hitting prep shortstop who profiles defensively at third base. He's sturdy and strong with a plus arm and good athleticism. His setup needs work but with terrific hands and wrists generates well above-average bat speed that should result in plus power. Williams, a Pepperdine commit, is the son of former big league infielder Eddie Williams, who spent parts of 10 seasons in the majors after being the No. 4 overall selection in the 1983 Draft.

Player: Ron Miller  Position: 3B/1B/OF  School: Serra (CA)  Date of Birth: 1/7/1994  Height/Weight: 5’11/215  Bats/Throws: R/R Class Of: 2012  Committed To: UNLV  Scouting Report:  Serra third baseman Ron Miller is thickly built at 5’11/215 with plenty of strength.  Miller has excellent raw power and bat speed. He has a simple easy swing with lift. The swing is a bit long. He shows power to all fields. Miller’s recorded 60 time is 7.22. Miller has the tools needed to play third, but some project him as a future outfielder. He has good arm strength.
