Smoral, LHP, Solon HS, Solon, OH - Smoral is a towering lefty with a buggy
whip arm action that delivers a 91-94 mph fastball and a sweeping low 80's
curveball. Smoral will need to tweak his mechanics and improve his
conditioning, for he has a tendency to lose velocity in later innings. Smoral
projects as a No. 2 or 3 major league starting pitcher. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/highschool/02/13/baseball.top.10.prospects/index.html#ixzz1mJYi8Rky
Virginia JR SS Stephen
Bruno - Search the archives if you don’t believe me, but I’ve been
stubbornly in Bruno’s corner for years. He hasn’t done it at the college level
yet due in large part to having to pay his dues while waiting for certain
members of Virginia’s talented lineup to turn pro, and Chris Taylor’s current
hold on the shortstop job will almost currently keep him from ever playing
significant time at the position I project him to play at the next level, but
Bruno’s tools are louder than most college middle infielders. He could be the
rare example of a player who shows more as a pro than he ever showed in college

9. Tomas Nido,
Orangewood Christian (Maitland, Fla.) -
Nido is a favorite of mine after studying video and talking to scouts. He
stands out in the most important categories as far as tools are concerned — arm
strength, receiving and power at the plate. His pop times are above average,
but during games he's shown a tendency to open his front side on throws. The
hit tool needs work, too, and despite the raw power the swing is long and his
hands are busy. He's another Florida State commit and a Day 2 prospect, but he
has a chance to end up among the top five prep catchers off the board. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1148/stryker-trahan-is-nation%E2%80%99s-best-backstop
