Ronnie Healy, Chase Compton, Rowdy Tellez, Barrett Astin, Stuff


Ronnie Healy showed his extra-base power in the opening game on Monday, leading the Washington Nationals to a 12-3 win over the New York Yankees with a double, triple and four RBIs. The 6-foot, 200-pound senior-to-be hit .356 with three home runs and 22 RBI this spring for Jupiter (Fla.). espn


1B Chase Compton, Louisiana-Lafayette -- Compton had a solid campaign for the Ragin' Cajuns, finishing the year with a solid .328 average. But he has taken a step forward this summer, hitting .377 with nine doubles, two triples, seven homers and 19 RBIs. Compton also has struck out and walked each 17 times. PG

Greg and Lori Tellez knew their first-born child was going to be rowdy even before the baby was delivered.  "We didn't know the sex and we didn't want to know, and we stayed away from calling him 'Baby' or 'It,'" Greg said. "But he was so active in there, moving around all of the time in the womb, that we ended up calling him 'Baby Rowdy,' and it stuck. Now he's just 'Rowdy' and that's how everybody knows him."  Ryan "Rowdy" Tellez is only 17, but the 6-foot-4, 230-pound teenage slugger has already made a name for himself in amateur baseball circles. The first baseman/designated hitter is considered one of the top high school hitting prospects in the country and is one of the many prospects playing in the 2012 Area Code Baseball Games this week at Long Beach State's Blair Field. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120807&content_id=36282548&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb&tcid=tw_article_36282548

RHP, Barrett Astin, Arkansas, 6'2 210, R/R, strong armed righty with plus slider at times, fb hits low 90's, occ will touch 94, throws strikes but can be a bit of a nibbler. Two pitch guy who has a shot at being a short man or middle man on a ML club.  http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/

Jeff Petty‏ - Connor Jones FB 91 with 80 MPH change 78 on breaker

Aaron Fitt‏ - LHP Stephen Gonsalves  sat 90-92  Good downhill angle, spots FB well. Gonsalves threw a handful of flat breaking balls that missed arm-side and up, then snapped off a solid one at 72 for called strike 3…   that's 4 Ks thru 2, three of them coming on fastballs (88-92), one on a 72 curve…

Todd Gold‏ -  Interesting projection lefty: 2013 Layne Bruner (Montesano, WA) only sitting 84-86 but v athl, loose arm, + feel for 74 CB
