Draft 2012 – Ty Hensley, Courtney Hawkins, Adam Cimber, Anthony Alford

31. Ty Hensley — 6’-5”, RHP, Santa Fe HS (OK)  At 6’-5” and 225 lbs, Hensley is a future workhorse at the next level. He can dial his fastball up to 95 mph, and his curve is a potential plus/plus pitch. As with most high-school pitchers, his change-up is still developing but should be an average pitch at least. Has some mechanics issues, but those can be fixed with proper coaching and experience. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/top-50-draft-prospects-for-2012-50-thru-26/15621/

http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1009/mitchell-traver-highlights-2012-texas-class 2. Courtney Hawkins, RHP/OF, Carroll (Corpus Christi, Texas)  Hawkins is more of a prospect as a bat, but he also consistently hits the low-90s on the mound. He runs well and handles right field, but his power bat is his calling card. At the Area Code games in August, he displayed big, raw power in batting practice. The Longhorns could be adding a future star to their lineup, but Hawkins is a first-round talent with a backup plan as a pitcher. He went 10-2 last season with a 2.35 ERA and 81 strikeouts.

Player:  Adam Cimber   Position:  RHP   School:  Washington   Date of Birth:    Height/Weight:  6’4/175   Bats/Throws:  R/R   Class Of:  2013   Previously Drafted:  Scouting Report:  Washington’s Adam Cimber is a sidearm pitcher who projects as a bullpen arm at the next level.  He was one of the top closers in the Northwoods League last summer, posting a 0.52 ERA, while striking out 36 and walking only 3 batters.  Cimber has a high 80′s fastball that can touch 91.  He has a developing slider that shows potential.  He also throws a quality change.  If Cimber continues to with the kind of control he showed over the summer, he is the kind of arm that could rise quickly at the next level.  http://mlbdraftguide.com/

Anthony Alford is a two sport star from Mississippi.  He is a likely high draft choice in baseball and the Mississippi Football Player of the Year.  On the diamond, Alford offers an exciting combination of speed and power. Alford has a quick swing and good raw power.  He shows the ability to go the other way.  Speed is one of his strengths. Alford should be able to play any spot in the outfield.  His arm is above average and accurate. Already having a strong build, Alford may not have a lot of projection left.  He is still a bit more athlete than baseball player, but he shows great potential and could be a special player if things break right. http://mlbdraftguide.com/
