6-13-13 - 17. San Francisco Giants — Derek Fisher, OF, Virginia - A great athlete, the
6’-3”, 210 pound left-hander greatly improved his approach this season cutting
down his strikeouts from 61 to 38 over roughly the same number of plate
appearances while upping his walks from 22 to 28. Over 53 games, he hit .306
with 12 doubles, seven home runs, stole eight bases and had a .420 OBP/.505
SLG. His size suggests more power will come and, if it does, he will be one of
the better all-around college bats available in the 2014 MLB draft. http://beforeitsnews.com/sports/2013/06/2014-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-no-time-like-the-present-2513748.html?currentSplittedPage=2
6-22-13 - Player:
Scott Squier
Position: LHP School:
Hawaii Date of Birth: 9/17/1992
Height/Weight: 6’6 Bats/Throws:
R/L 2014 Class: College Junior Previously Drafted: 2011, 21st rd, Tigers Scouting Report: from Don Olsen on 6/18/2013 - Tall and narrow
frame, little touch of overall development, comes across in the Chris Sale
mold. Fastball 89- 92 (93) mph works with natural tail in the arm slot, shows
some sink in the offering. Slider with
more horizontal tilt than vertical and shows the bite that can induce
swing/miss offering, grade at above average with some room to grow. Change up flashes, but needs to grow in order
to round out into a solid three pitch mix.
He throws mainly from a natural ¾ slot, but the arm leaks a fair amount
of times into a sidearm slot angle might place into bullpen role, some teams do
not see this as an issue into role. The
FB/SL combo can ride hard on both sides that logical to fit into a back of the
bullpen role, if the change up fails to develop. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/06/20/2014-mlb-draft-profile-scott-squier/
6-9-13 - 21. Arizona Diamondbacks — Michael
Conforto, OF, Oregon State - After an incredible freshman season in
which he hit .349 over 58 games with 14 doubles, 13 home runs, 76 RBI and a
.438 OBP/.601 SLG, the 6’-1”, 215 pound left-hander has regressed a bit his
sophomore year. Over 58 games, he is hitting .326 with nine home runs, 42 RBI
and a .450 OBP/.501 SLG. While he has improved his walk rate and approach, the
power numbers are down. A great talent, he should be among the better college
bats available in the 2014 MLB draft. He has been a little inconsistent in the
outfield this season but shows enough to hold down a corner outfield spot. http://beforeitsnews.com/sports/2013/06/2014-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-no-time-like-the-present-2513748.html?currentSplittedPage=2
6-27-13 - INDIANA -
Head coach Tracy Smith and his staff are doing a terrific job, but must
adequately find a way to replace outstanding assistant coach Ty Neal, who's now
the head coach at Cincinnati. With that said, the Hoosiers, who were the first
team since Michigan in 1984 to reach the College World Series out of the Big
Ten, should have yet another fantastic club in 2014. Though starting pitcher
Aaron Slegers is fully expected to sign with the Twins as a fifth-round pick,
as well as third baseman Dustin DeMuth, IU could very well welcome back
reliever Ryan Halstead, who was a 26th-round selection of the Twins. From a
pitching standpoint, the Hoosiers welcome back several talented arms, including
starting pitchers Joey DeNato, who starred in Omaha, Kyle Hart, who had a 3.01
ERA in 83 2/3 innings of work this past season, and plenty of others, such as
Will Coursen-Carr, Scott Effross, Luke Harrison, Brian Korte and Evan Bell,
among others. Indiana also will be loaded again at the plate with the return of
PG First Team All-American catcher Kyle Schwarber, designated hitter Scott
Donley, first baseman Sam Travis and plenty of others. From a newcomer
standpoint, freshman catcher Brent Gibbs could be an early contributor from an
offensive standpoint. As good as this Hoosiers team will be next season, it
also is interesting to see how they perform with a massive target on their
back. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=8705
