Tanner Rahier, SS, Palm Desert HS (Calif.) (49) - Rahier has one of the more interesting stories
of this year's prep group in that he doesn't actually play for Palm Desert High
School. Instead, he opted to play in a wood-bat travel league and his stock has
been on the rise for most of the spring. Rahier most likely won't be able to
stay at shortstop -- some say third, some say second is a likely destination.
In either place, his ability to hit and grow into hitting for power should fit
just fine and his defensive actions could make him an excellent defender in
either spot. Rahier's best tool might be his makeup: He plays an all-out,
aggressive style that allows him to maximize his skills.
Alex Young, lhp, Carmel Catholic HS, Hawthorn Woods.
There are very few high-school prospects around the country that have gone from
light area-scout follow to serious national cross-checker material on the
strength of a couple of early-season starts, but the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Young
has accomplished that this spring. He made the transition from an upper-80s
thrower to low-90s pitcher with three quality offerings during the off-season
and may now rank as the top high-school lefthander in the entire Midwest,
ranging from the Canadian border to the Gulf. The unusually mild Illinois
winter and spring weather has given Young plenty of plenty of opportunity for
scouts to catch up with him, whereas that might have been a problem in some
years.
