Tom Coon, IF/OF, Dublin Jerome HS, Class of 2013 - 6-foot, 185-pound prospect. Registered a 7.02 60-yard dash. From the outfield he shows a top velocity of 82 mph. Likely projects as a corner guy in the outfield or the infield. From third, he shows short arm action and good quickness in his feet for his size. Reaches top velocity of 80 mph across the infield. At the plate, shows middle of the order potential. Uses a small leg kick to trigger his swing. Good use of his lower half with some torque in his swing. Quick into the zone with his hands. Shows solid contact with pull power. http://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/OH/Player-Analysis-from-Ohio-Top-Prospect-Showcase-on-717-8621950347#.UBVav60DlGI.twitter

Tony Kemp – Cotuit Kettleers – OF - Southpaw batter Tony Kemp (Vanderbilt) made some clutch hits this week that earned him a sparkling .362 ERA and Coca Cola’s Player of the Week. In last Monday’s game versus Y-D, Kemp went 3-4 with three runs batted in and a homer, putting Cotuit on top 6-2. Kemp really shined in Cotuit’s outing against Thursday against Wareham, where the Kettleer added three runs to the score by cracking a two-out triple in the sixth inning, helping Cotuit to a 16-3 blowout win. Kemp now leads the team with 24 RBI. Originally from Franklin, Tex., Kemp is a sophomore playing for Vanderbilt University. In 2012 he posted a .261 ERA and held an impressive 11-game hitting streak. He also set a career-high in an outing against Siena with four RBI going 4-for-5 with two triples and a double. http://ht.ly/1lK12t



Sean Manaea (Indiana State) - Throughout the summer, the 6’5 215 pound lefty has been thrilling scouts and baffling hitters with a 4-1 record and a 1.44 ERA in eight games (seven starts). He has shown excellent control walking six batters while striking out 75 in only 43.2 innings pitched. Many scouts didn’t have Manaea on their list to watch at the beginning of the summer but he has become the top arm in the league by far.  http://ht.ly/1lKdp0

Cotuit won 3-2 in walk off fashion Monday. After giving up a 2-0 lead, the Kettleers were down to their last three outs. Coach Mike Roberts called on pinch hitter Jacob Valdez (San Jose State) with one out and the bases loaded looking for some spark. Valdez drew the four-pitch walk off walk to help Cotuit win their ninth straight. With three outs remaining until extra innings, the Kettleers were looking for some magic. Patrick Biondi (Michigan) led off the bottom of the ninth singling the first pitch he saw up the middle. Tony Kemp (Vanderbilt) was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second for first baseman Mike Ford (Princeton). http://www.kettleers.org/2012/07/kettleers-win-in-walk-off-fashion-beat-chatham-3-2/
