Draft 13 – Cody Bellinger, Phil Bickford, Ryan Tellez, Jordan Sheffield, Akeem Bostick




Cody Bellinger, OF/1B, Hamilton HS (AZ) - The son of former major leaguer Clay Bellinger, the 6’-4” Cody is a left-hander who stars at the plate, as well as the mound. His hitting is what scouts love, however, as the athletic outfielder shows good speed (6.82/60), arm strength (90 mph from outfield) and the potential for big-time power as he matures. Over his last 15 games, he is hitting .511 with six extra-base hits, 11 stolen bases and has drawn nine walks for a .600 OBP/.711 SLG. Committed to Oregon. LINK


Phil Bickford, RHP, Oaks Christian HS (CA) - On Friday, the 6’-4” flame thrower picked up the win in relief tossing four shutout innings, striking out five to no walks in a 1-0 win over San Marino HS. If you throw out his second start of the season, in which he allowed four runs over six innings, he has a 0.41 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 110 K/9 BB over 65.1 innings, allowing just 27 hits. His fastball is plus and can touch 96 mph. His secondary offerings are solid, but with his size, there is so much projection left. He should be gone on day one of the 2013 MLB draft and could go as high as pick 12-15. LINK
 

Ryan Tellez, Elk Grove (Elk Grove, Calif.) - Considered one of the top power hitters in California, Tellez is batting .456 with 38 RBI, 14 doubles and seven home runs for the playoff bound Thundering Herd. At 6-foot-5, 225-pounds, Tellez has a powerful frame with a smooth swing. Likely to go somewhere in the first five rounds. LINK


Jordan Sheffield, P, Vanderbilt 98% - Sheffield had Tommy John surgery and isn't likely to command a high pick. With slotting, overplaying late isn't as strong of an option but could still happen. I expect to see him pitching for Vandy.
