Draft 13 – Akeem Bostick, Jacob Heyward, Jonathan Gray, Matt Williams, Jonah Wesely




Akeem Bostick, RHP, West Florence HS (SC) - The 6’-5” right-hander has turned a lot of heads this season with an easy delivery and a fastball that has touched 95 mph. He also adds solid secondary stuff and has great body control despite his size. Over 56 innings this season, he has 96 K/25 BB and has allowed just 23 hits. He has had six double-digit strikeout games with a career-high 13 over seven shutout innings on March 5. His command is a little inconsistent but with his size, and more left in the tank as far as velocity goes, he has a lot of upside. Should be available at 77. LINK

Jacob Heyward and Daz Cameron on the same team is unfair to any pitcher. Heyward has 3 BB and 3-R HR, Daz is 4-for-5 w/ 2B, BB, 2 RBI.


There was a time when it looked like Mark Appel would have no competition as the top player, college or high school, available. He was in the mix for that spot last year before falling to Pittsburgh with the No. 8 pick, then was unable to come to terms with them on a deal that allowed him to return to Stanford for his senior season. Along comes Jonathan Gray, who was in the mid-first round mix when the season started, showing a fastball that has jumped an entire grade to plus-plus, plus slider and an average changeup. Now the debate for the No. 1 pick has gotten much louder. LINK

2013 uncommitted INF Matt Williams played 120 games in high school over five years. Had a career BA of .411, 102 RBIs, 66 BB, 17 Ks. Wow.
