6-20-13 Ben Moore – Alabama -
from Don Olson on 6/18/2013 - Ben has a proportional athletic build with
ideal muscular development who throws off a bit of BJ Surhoff. He shows good
range and first step, tracks the ball well off the bat. He flashes more accuracy than arm strength,
but enough to profile at either corner.
He has the ideal path with a touch of lift in it, gets a good amount of
backspin and can drive it too all fields at 5 O’ clock. He has more of pull power swing in game; it
should round out with maturation.
Contact should be at least average down the road. High follow into next spring; he has the
tools that you cannot teach. LINK
6-13-13 - 27. Atlanta Braves — Zach
Shannon, 3B, Moeller HS (OH) - A two-way prospect who may have more
upside as a hitter, the 6’-3”, 220 pound right-hander has a canon arm (93 mph)
and his power bat would play well in right. He has shown the ability to hit to
all fields and has good bat speed. On the mound, he also has an upper-70s
curveball that shows plus potential to go along with his above-average fastball.
He hails from the same school that produced Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Larkin and
Buddy Bell. LINK
6-22-13 - Player:
Austin Fisher
Position: SS School:
Kansas State Date of Birth: 1/8/1993
Height/Weight: 6’1/195 Bats/Throws:
L/R 2014 Class: College Junior Scouting Report: from Don Olson on 6/18/2013 - Lean athletic
gives off a bit of Scott Spiezio, with a bit more athletic ability. Approach is solid, good bat speed and shows
the ability to find the barrel to ball well at this stage. He shows solid plate coverage. He shows some nice gap power pull swing,
turns on quality fastballs. Austin is
more of a spray gap to gap ceiling.
Range is enough and shows the arm to cover short, clearly an up the
middle player, who could fit better at the next level as a second baseman. LINK
6-27-13 - VIRGINIA - The
Cavaliers entered the 2013 campaign unranked, but coach Brian O'Connor and his
coaching staff did a terrific job and almost guided UVa. back to the College
World Series, dropping a tough NCAA Super Regional series to national runner-up
Mississippi State. Now, the Cavaliers have a chance in '14 to be the team that
wins their first national championship. The Cavaliers welcome back an
outstanding offensive lineup, many key contributors from a lineup that finished
last season with a .312 batting average, including Mike Papi, Brandon Cogswell,
Joe McCarthy, Nick Howard, Brandon Downes, Derek Fisher, Kenny Towns, among
others. The Cavaliers also should have a solid pitching staff despite losing
left-handed specialist Kyle Crockett and Scott Silverstein. The staff returns
lefty Brandon Waddell, Nick Howard, Josh Sborz, Austin Young, Nathan Kirby, and
others. I'd also keep an eye on talented freshman right-handed pitcher Connor
Jones, who opted to attend college instead of being a high draft pick, while
Artie Lewicki is expected to return from an injury that sidelined him
throughout the 2013 campaign. This club will have national title aspirations,
and rightfully so. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=8705
