2013 Draft-Notes – Nicholas Banks, Matt Harvey, Link Jarrett, Trevin Hazeltine

Houston Banditos top outfield prospect Nicholas Banks appeared slightly wide-eyed before the Banditos played their tournament opener at the inaugural 17u Perfect Game World Series late Tuesday afternoon. The tournament showcases 16 of the top 17u teams in the country, and those teams' rosters are filled with more 130 of PG's top-500 national prospects in the class of 2013. The talent level is abundant, and Banks (2013, Tomball HS, Texas) certainly took notice. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=7453
