Draft 13 – Matt Oberste, Thomas Taylor, Jonah Wesely, Chris Okey




Matt Oberste, 1B, Oklahoma - Over his last six games, the 6’-2”, 210-pound right-hander has gone 13-for-23 (.565) with four doubles, a triple, two home runs and a .615 OBP/1.087 SLG. He is now hitting .421 over 41 games with 16 doubles, four triples, 10 home runs and a .484 OBP/.761 SLG. He most likely will play first base at the next level, putting extra emphasis on his bat.  link

Here's a sleeper for you: KU Baseball coach Ritch Price says Sr. RHP Thomas Taylor has been 90-94, down in zone, improved slider.

Tomorrow is the last time I will Ever be pitching in a Tracy High baseball home game!! Everyone come out and watch us play Lincoln. Gunna be a great game



Chris Okey, Eustis HS (FL) - A very good defensive catcher with a strong arm and excellent footwork behind the plate, Okey is a polished player who is a two-time gold medal winner for U18 Team USA. There is a chance he may not be available when the Cubs pick at 41 in the 2013 MLB draft, but if he is, he should be high on their list. At 6’-1” and 190 pounds, he makes consistent contact from the right side and has a very good approach at the plate. Over 29 games this season, he is hitting .417 with six doubles, four home runs, 29 RBI and has drawn 17 walks to eight strikeouts for a .528 OBP/.679 SLG. He is also an excellent athlete with good speed, having gone a perfect 16-for-16 in stolen base attempts this season. Committed to Clemson. link
