Draft 13 – Denton Keys, Hunter Renfroe, Marco Gonzales, Chris Kohler, Trey Michalczewski




Denton Keys, LHP, Rye HS (CO) - The 6’-3” southpaw tossed a five inning no-hitter on May 7 striking out 13 to no walks. He now has a ridiculous 85 K/5 BB over 33 scoreless innings, allowing just six hits. His 23.2 K/9 ratio shows how overpowering he is even if his competition has been very weak. His fastball sits in the 88-91 range and he adds solid breaking stuff. He will definitely get a lot of looks before the 2013 MLB draft by scouts to see how he projects. Committed to Kansas. LINK


Hunter Renfroe has all the tools to be an impact corner outfielder in professional baseball. He has bat speed, a clean swing with loft that helps him drive the ball, big raw power, above-average speed and plus arm strength. The one knock on Renfroe is track record, as this is the first year his tools have shown up in games. He struggled against SEC competition last year, and his approach left a lot to be desired. He hit just .252/.328/.374 with 51 strikeouts and just 21 walks in 61 games. link


Player:  Marco Gonzales - Position:  LHP - School:  Gonzaga - Height/Weight:  6’1/185 - Bats/Throws:  L/L  2013 Class:  College Junior - Previously Drafted:  2010, 29th rd, Rockies - Scouting Report: Good athlete, Polished lefthander, 3/4 arm slot, High leg raise delivery, Fastball 89-91, touches 92, with run  Locates fastball well.  Plus changeup. Curve, Cutter. Should progress quickly through the minors link


Dan Kirby - @DanMKirby - Los Osos HS (CA) LHP Chris Kohler finishes w/ 13 K/2 BB over 5 IP. Now has 106 K/30 BB over 65 IP


Summary:   Trey Michalczewski is one of the must under the radar High School players.  He has shown power and the ability to hit for average.  He has the ability to have 4 to 5 above average tools.  .  For me, he is a sleeper on a national level, but the people in Oklahoma already know he can flat out play. link
