Matt Garrioch - 2013 MLB Draft: Just Getting Started


1, Ryne Stanek, P, Arkansas

One of the best college pitches I have seen over the last 3 years.

2. Kris Bryant, 1B, San Diego

Huge improvement as a sophomore. Usable power to all fields. Good bat. Likely a 1B but the bat will play there.

3. Jeremy Martinez, C, Mater Dei

Austin Hedges has recieved rave reviews for his defensive prowess behind the plate out of high school. Before that it was Max Stassi. Next in this line is Jeremy Martinez. He is very advanced with his actions defensively and knows what he is doing at the plate as well. He has a balanced easy swing that stays in the zone for a long time. He doesn't have huge power but he could develop above average power while hitting a ton of doubles in the mean time. I think he will hit for average and be a solid backstop for a long time.

4. Austin Wilson, OF, Stanford

Wilson also turned down a large sum out of high school to attend Stanford. Wilson is a physical specimen and looks the part of a future superstar standing 6'5" and 245 pounds. He is athletic, has a rocket arm, huge raw power that is translating into usable power and doesn't strike out a ton. His swing can get long but all power hitters that use their long levers for power tend to do this.

5. Justin Williams, OF, Terrebonne

A little Jason Heyward. Has a ton of potential. Could be a solid RF option. I doubt he sticks at 3B.
