Draft 14 - An Early Look At - SS - Joey Pankake

1.       Joey Pankake

 

6-9-13 -  29. Joey Pankake, SS (South Carolina): Quietly may settle in as the 2nd best college shortstop available. Has some interesting potential at the plate, even though he’s a bit raw as a hitter. http://www.minorleaguerundown.com/2013/06/09/2014-mlb-draft-top-30-prospects/

 

6-10-13 -  Joey Pankake, SS, Souh Carolina - Pankake has good bat speed with plenty of pop in his bat.  His shows a strong arm in the field.  With a strong arm and nice hands, Pankake has a shot to remain at short.  If not, his bat willl play at third. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/06/10/2014-mlb-draft-early-college-names-to-know/

 

6-13-13  -  24. Oakland Athletics — Joey Pankake, SS, South Carolina - He should get drafted in the first round on his name alone. With a real chance to stick at shortstop, the 6’-1”, 200 pound right-hander has also come a long way with the bat. He has an advanced approach at the plate, great bat speed and has shown good power this season. Over 60 games, he is hitting .314 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI and has drawn 28 walks to 28 strikeouts for a .390 OBP/.502 SLG. Shortstops who can get on base and hit for power are high on everyone’s wish list. And think of the jersey sales. http://beforeitsnews.com/sports/2013/06/2014-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-no-time-like-the-present-2513748.html?currentSplittedPage=2
