Draft 14 – Michael Conforto, Benton Moss, Evan Dougherty, Aaron Nola



Michael Conforto, OF, Oregon State - After hitting .349 with 14 doubles, 13 home runs, 76 RBI and a slash line of .438/.601/1.039 as a freshman last year, the 6’-1”, 200-pound left-hander was showered with awards and had high expectations coming into this year. After nine games, he was hitting .273 with two doubles, no home runs and four RBI. On Saturday, he went 3-for-7 in a double-header with his first two home runs of the season and five RBI. On Sunday, he went 3-for-5 with two more home runs and seven RBI. The bat has woken up, and I expect a full on assault coming for one of the best overall hitters in the 2014 MLB draft. LINK

5-31-13 - John Manuel‏ @johnmanuelba - Very rough start for Benton Moss; he's allowed 7 baserunners, 5 hits & 2 BB, but only one run. Canisius has left bases loaded twice so far

5-31-13 - Evan Dougherty, a highly regarded prospect in the class of 2014 who just completed his junior year at academic and baseball powerhouse Bishop Verot High School here in Fort Myers, spent Saturday on the fields of the former Boston Red Sox Player Development 5-Plex performing at this year's PG National Academic Showcase; he was at this event a year ago. He is exactly the kind of player this showcase attracts -- he carries a 3.9 GPA at Bishop Verot and scored a 1880 on his SAT, a score that is higher than 87 percent of all the test-takers nationwide.

6-1-13 - College Baseball 360‏ @CB360updates - LSU's Aaron Nola (7IP-5UER-6H-3BB-6K) pitcher of record when 4R t8 vs. Sam Houston (8-5)...SHSU's Caleb Smith no-dec. (2.2-4R/3ER-6H-4BB)
