Clinton
Hollon,
RHP, Woodford County HS (KY) - On May 7, the 6’-1” right-hander needed just 87
pitches to toss a seven inning no-hitter. He struck out 11 to one walk and now
has a 0.96 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 68 K/11 BB over 47 innings, allowing just 18
hits. He features a low/mid-90s fastball and both his curveball and change-up
are already considered above-average pitches. Committed to Kentucky. LINK
Marco
Gonzales is one of the most interesting pitchers in
this draft. His stock is incredibly high, to the point where he will likely end
up going in the first round, but he does it in a way that usually gives
evaluators some pause. Working with a fringe-average fastball from the left
side, usually in the 86-89 mph range, Gonzales is not going to blow opposing
hitters away. But he has such a good off-speed repertoire, with a plus
changeup, above-average curveball, as well as a cutter, above-average command
of everything and a great feel for pitching that the Gonzaga ace can get away
with less velocity on his heater. LINK
Cody
Reed,
NW Mississippi - Reed is the sleeper in the group. He's come out of nowhere as a guy who was on
the small side and had a mid 80s fastball in high school. He ended up going to a community college in
Mississippi. Since those days, Reed has
grown to a filled out 6'5"and is perhaps the most intriguing non-prep
lefty and may rival Overton as the guy with the best upside. He's a guy we
talked about before as a fast riser on the strength of a fastball that can
reach the mid 90s. Reed has also
increased the velo on his slider into the low 80s. He has a smooth, athletic delivery from the
left side and throws with pretty good command considering his experience level.
