Phil Bickford, RHP, Oaks Christian HS (CA) - After tossing a no-hitter on April 10, striking out 11 to two walks over seven innings, the 6’-4” right-hander was lights-out again on April 20. Over seven shutout innings, he allowed two hits and struck out 13 to one walk in front of about 20 scouts. Over his last six starts, he has a .046 ERA, 0.49 WHIP and 63 K/3 BB over 39 innings. He features a low/mid-90s fastball, and both his curveball and change-up are solid offerings. His size, stuff and ability to command his pitches could land him in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft. Committed to Cal State Fullerton. link
Jesse
Roth,
RHP, Horace Mann HS (NJ) - Playing in the northeast can be frustrating as you
are always at the mercy of weather. This year has been especially rough for
pitchers like Roth, a 6’-3”, 200-pound right-hander with a power arm. He has
only been able to log 18 innings so far this season but has made the most of
them by striking out 30 while allowing just three hits. His fastball has been
touching 92-93 mph and his size suggests more is still in the tank. A very
smart pitcher who is committed to Virginia. link
Hunter
Renfroe,
OF, Mississippi State - Kris Bryant and Colin Moran have dominated talks about
who has the best college bat this season. Renfroe, a 6’-1”, 215-pound
right-hander has welcomed himself to the part this year with a powerful bat,
and may be the most athletic of the three. Over 37 games, he is hitting .407
with 12 doubles, 13 home runs, 42 RBI and has stolen eight bases. He has drawn
21 walks to just 21 strikeouts for a .485 OBP/.815 SLG. His strong arm and
above-average speed will play well in a corner outfield spot. link
Robert
Tyler is
a big boy RHP from Georgia who has been recorded as tall as 6’5 and as short as
6’3 so either one you believe same idea, he’s a big kid. He’s probably best
known for the fact that his delivery is a bit funky to the eye. It’s a rather
long motion behind the back with his arm and that leads some to believe that there
will be issues repeating the mechanics and everything that comes with that.
He’s a athletic kid and he has room to fill out still so we’ll have to see how
well he holds up. At this stage of the game with him specifically I don’t know
if your changing his mechanics at this point without making it a complete mess.
All that being said though I wouldn’t be writing about him if I didn’t feel he
has a real shot at being an impact arm at the next level and I wholeheartedly
believe he’s more than capable of doing so. link
