2013 Draft-Notes - Brady Aiken, Robert Tyler, Dylan Munger, Ryne Stanek, Brian Bohman



Brady Aiken LHP  Cathedral Catholic HS, San Diego  Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 210. B/T: L/L. - Aiken is a physical young lefty with a clean arm. His delivery and arm action are above-average and lead to his ability to command three pitches. His fastball sits comfortably in the 88-90 mph range, and he spins a tight curveball. A deceptive changeup rounds out his three-pitch arsenal. A 2014 graduate, he has already verbally committed to UCLA. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-all-america-game/2012/2613895.html

Crisp County pitcher Robert Tyler dreams of playing in the big leagues. He is getting a taste of big league baseball this summer.Robert Tyler will pitch at Wrigley Field this Saturday in the Under Armour All-American game. This after Tyler pitched an inning in the Perfect Game All-American game last weekend in San Diego's Petco Park. The senior at Crisp County High School is attracting scouts attention with his fastball, curveball and changeup  http://www.walb.com/story/19296897/crisps-tyler-pitching-at-wrigley-field-saturday

LHP Dylan Munger, Alabama-Birmingham -- Munger had a less than stellar spring for the Blazers, tallying a 5.98 ERA. However, he blossomed this summer with a 1.91 ERA in nine appearances and 37 2/3 innings of work. He also struck out 38 and walked nine, while teams hit him at a .209 clip. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=7522

2-Ryne Stanek RHP Arkansas- I watched Stanek in HS and wrote about him here. Ryne has pushed himself way up the draft lists and enters the 2013 season as the 2nd best righty in the college game behind the return of Mark Appel of Stanford. Stanek has improved in several areas of his game since turning down the Mariners who took him in the 3rd round. He finished his 2012 campaign going 8-4 with a 2.82 e.r.a and 83 K in 93 IP. He has the potential to sit in the mid 9′s with a potentially plus curve. His achilles is the ability to work long into games as he seems to unravel in the mid to late innings. But, the arm is so intriguing with upside he would be an excellent pick for the Royals as a local kid. http://pinetarpress.com/top-11-2013-draft-august-15th-2012/

The Prep Baseball Report Western PA Top Prospect Showcase on August 15 included five catchers who showcased their abilities for college coaches at Pullman Park in Butler, PA. The top two catchers in the group were Brian Bohman (McDowell), ranked No. 54 in the Class of 2013, and Jake Kleindl (Shady Side Academy), ranked No. 38 in the Class of 2014. Bohman is a 5-foot-8, 170-pounder with an athletic frame and excellent receiving and blocking skills. Bohman had the top pop time of the day at 2.05, a number that will be improved significantly with some minor adjustments to his ball transfer. Bohman also exhibited the top catcher velocity of the day at 80mph out of the crouch. https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PA/A-Look-3142708659
