He sported a 2.44 era in 44.1 innings pitched and allowed just 31 hits for the Joes. He was also second in the league with 50 strikeouts. In a rarity for both scouting services, PG and BA both ranked him as their #1 prospect in the league.

Lewis Brinson / OF / Coral Springs HS FL): I wasn’t familiar with Brinson until I saw him in Chicago, but after seeing him win the Home Run Derby (over Buxton), and talking to some scouts at the event, I saw enough to add him to this list. The Florida commit can also run, and should be an above-average outfielder as he progresses.

For a while, they thought that one of their top prospects, Nolan Arenado, would be that guy, but his play at third base has improved so much that he might stick there long term, leaving first base open. Victor Roache played some first base during high school and his first year at Georgia Southern, and would probably do well in a return to the position. He already has the bat that the Rockies love, one capable of leading all NCAA hitters in home runs in 2011.
Mike Zunino is the complete package as a catching prospect. He possesses a nice line drive swing with power, and he has very good plate discipline as well. He had a great season as a sophomore for the Gators in 2011, posting a .371/.442/.674 line with 23 doubles, 19 homers, and 74 RBI while also swiping 7 bases in 9 tries. His speed is above-average for a catcher. Zunino does have some holes in his swings, which could lead to a considerable amount of strikeouts as a pro, but his other tools mostly offset that. He projects as around a .280/.375/.450 hitter with 30 doubles and 20 homers in in the big leagues, which would be excellent for a catcher. Defensively, Zunino is a natural, having played the catcher position since he was six years old. He is extremely smooth behind the plate and is adept at blocking balls. He also possesses a very good arm for a catcher, able to hit the mid to high-80′s off the mound, and his arm strength along with his accuracy allows him to throw out a very good percentage of attempted basestealers. He is also known for calling a good game. http://rayscoloredglasses.com/2011/12/21/taking-an-early-look-at-the-catchers-in-the-2012-mlb-draft-part-1
