Cody
Thomas,
OF, Heritage HS (TX) - Let me preface this one by saying the Cubs would most
likely have to make a pretty sweet offer to the 6’-5”, 220-pound left-handed
hitter with tremendous raw power. He has a commitment to play quarterback at
Oklahoma and, with his size, rocket arm and athletic abilities, could be a
great one. He passed for 4,221 yards and 46 touchdowns over 12 games his senior
year and was also the team’s punter. On the diamond, he shows a lot of upside
as he also has a good approach at the plate to go along with the massive power
potential. Over 32 games this season for powerhouse Heritage, he has hit .485
with 12 doubles, 13 home runs, 45 RBI and has drawn 20 walks for a .579
OBP/1.061 SLG. He also has added 12 stolen bases, showing good speed for his
size. link
Can you compare Kohl Stewart's current and potential to any HS
pitchers from past few drafts? = Jim Callis:
Talked to a scout who said he may be better than fellow Texan Jameson Taillon,
who threw harder but couldn’t match the depth of Stewart’s repertoire. The same
scout said on the Texas spectrum, he’d put Stewart behind Josh Beckett and
ahead of Shelby Miller.
Kyle
Serrano,
RHP, Farragut HS (TN) - On Saturday, the 6’-1” right-hander allowed three hits
over seven shutout innings, striking out 12 to two walks. Over his last seven
games, he has a 0.49 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 68 K/10 BB over 37 innings. He features
a mid-90s fastball to go along with a plus curveball and is very polished on
the mound. Committed to Tennessee. link
Unlike Kohl
Stewart, there is no doubt that Ivan Wilson is
going to end up playing baseball. An athletic 6'3", 220-pound wide
receiver in high school, he doesn't project to play the position in college.
Wilson brings that athleticism, solid speed, arm strength, bat speed and
above-average power to this draft. He has a chance to stick in center field if
his speed stays at the level it is at right now, though that seems unlikely
since he isn't exactly a burner right now. link
