Shane Watson, RHP, Lakewood (Lakewood, Calif.) Watson's arsenal includes a fastball in the 88 to 92 mph range, showing sink and arm side ride, and his frame (6-foot-4, 200 pounds) may produce more velocity down the line. But it may have to come from improved mechanics, primarily better balance and use of his lower half. Watson is committed to USC and should be considered early on Day 1 of the draft.

He was simply outstanding this summer and was named the 2011 Cal League MVP. He led the league with a .412 batting average, .632 slugging percentage and with a .491 on base percentage. Jeff was second in the league with 38 runs scored and he also drove in 21 this season. Jeff hit 12 doubles, led the league with 6 doubles and hit 2 home runs for Santa Barbara. Jeff also stole 15 bases this season. Perfect Game ranked him as the 21st best prospect in the league.
12-1-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/12/01/keon-barnum-2012-draft-profile - Often referred to as soft spoken, King first baseman Keon Barnum lets his talent speak for him on the field. He is among the top prospects from the talent rich state of Florida. Barnum carries one of the most powerful bats among 2012 draft-eligible players. He has top bat speed and has shown a willingness to go the other way. Barnum is also a patient hitter, taking 26 walks in 81 plate appearances during his junior season. His recorded 60 time is 7.01. Barnum looks good at first base. He also has a plus arm. I generally avoid comps, but the Fred McGriff comp pops up everywhere for Barnum. The potential in his bat should carry him into the first round.

Felipe Perez, RHP, Fairmont Prep (Anaheim, Calif.) This 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander pitches at 88 to 91 mph but has touched 93 and throws two breaking balls — a 72 to 75 mph curveball and a 77 to 79 mph slider. His arm works well from a high, three-quarter slot and he's performed well in showcase events, something scouts remember throughout the spring.
