Cody Poteet — 6’-1”, RHP,
Christian HS (CA) Poteet is seen as
undersized by some scouts, but his arm strength leaves little concern. He can
crank his fastball up to 96
mph , and his hard mid-70s curve is one of the best in
the country. His change-up is still developing but is very deceptive at times
and projects to an above-average offering. He has an easy delivery and is very
aggressive on the mound, attacking hitters with superb command. He keeps the
ball down, showing good signs of a
ground-ball pitcher. Has been a member of Team USA since he was 14.

Walker Weickel,
RHP, Olympia (Orlando, Fla.) - At
6-foot-6, Weickel is a projectable arm who has shown a consistent low-90s
fastball with good downhill plane. He's displayed depth with a slow curveball
and a change that lacks sink but brings deception due to his arm speed.
Weickel, a Miami commit, has first-round abilities and shouldn't stay on the
board long come June. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/940/mccullers-jr-is-top-florida-diamond-star

We continue the countdown today at number 18 with

the College of Charleston. He went to Wando High School in Mt. Pleasant, South
Carolina where he player for coach Jeff Blankenship. As a senior, he hit.461

NCBWA Freshman Player of the Year, Collegiate Baseball National Freshman of the

After batting .364/.444/.593 as a junior in 2011, James Ramsey was selected by the Twins in the 22nd
round of the draft. Ramsey then had an
All-Star season at the Cape. Ramsey makes consistent contact despite a swing
that is a bit long. Ramsey led the ACC
in total bases in 2011. Other than his
bat, Ramsey’s tools are average. He
profiles as a leftfielder at the next level. Ramsey does possess all of the
intangibles. He is an very hard worker
and goes all out on the field. Ramsey is
also a great student. If Ramsey turns in another good season as a senior, his
draft stock should rise, but it is limited due to his lack of outstanding
tools. http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2012/01/10/james-ramsey-2012-draft-profile/
