Jose Trevino Position: C/IF
School: Oral Roberts Date of Birth: 11/28/1992
Height/Weight: 5’11/195 Bats/Throws:
R/R 2014 Class: College Junior Scouting Report: from Don Olsen on 6/18/2013
- Jose has a compact athletic build with a thick lower half, good muscular
development and gives off a bit of Raul Mondesi body comparison. He starts off with ear hole high hands, not
much of a trigger to get the bat head going.
There is a lot of raw power in the bat, gets a good amount of leverage
and backspin in BP, translates better into games from last year. The bat speed is present and the path is line
drive with a touch of loft, ideal. He
can turn on speed and shows the ability to stay back and hammer a break. He has more pull power, but showed the
ability to drive it into the opposite gap.
Jose has the quick twitch first step and charge to stay at 3B with an
above average to plus arm. LINK
6-13-13 - 12. San Diego Padres — Kel Johnson, OF, Home School (GA) - A 6’-4”, 210 pound
right-hander who has been a fixture on Perfect Game tournaments, Johnson is
home schooled by his parents and plays for the East Cobb Braves — one of the
premiere youth baseball operations in the country. Power would be his best tool
right now as he generates a ton of it with his string wrists and bat speed. A
player who you come to watch hit batting practice. Committed to Georgia Tech. LINK
6-23-13 -
Player: Benton
Moss Position: RHP
School: North Carolina Date of Birth: 2/21/1993
Height/Weight: 6’2/174 Bats/Throws:
R/R 2014 Class: College Junior Scouting Report: from Don
Olsen on 6/18/2013 - Benton has sloped shoulders and narrow frame, a little
light in the pants with decent muscular development who looks more of Tim Hudson
mold type pitcher. Decent three piece
delivery that routinely does not get his weight over and leaves an upright
release. 88-91 (92) mph fastball that wavers in command, due in part to the
release point being in that high of a slot for his frame. Curve has 11/6 path that shows the depth
flashes out into a solid offering 75-77 mph.
He will work in a split change that shows some depth to it as well, can
be deceptive at times with the action to show as an above average
offering. He looks more of the innings
eater to BOR type righty at this stage. LINK
6-13-13 - 14. Philadelphia Phillies — Braxton Davidson, OF, T C Roberson HS (NC) - The
6’-3”, 215 pound left-hander will be one of the best prep bats in the 2014 MLB
draft due to his bat speed, advanced approach at the plate and raw power. He
shows good pitch recognition and his strong wrists allow him to wait on any
pitch. Over 31 games as a junior, he hit .403 with seven doubles, eight home
runs, and drew 30 walks for a .600 OBP/.831 SLG. His strong arm would play well
in a corner outfield spot. LINK
6-27-13 - MISSISSIPPI STATE - There's no greater
motivator in college baseball than falling just short of winning the national
title, so look for that to fuel the Bulldogs, who welcome back several key cogs
next season. Though the Bulldogs have the extremely tough chore of replacing
outfielder Hunter Renfroe and shortstop Adam Frazier, both high draft picks,
with Renfroe the first-round pick of the Padres, they still welcome back a
solid nucleus led by imposing first baseman Wes Rea and Alex Detz, who each had
productive 2013 campaigns. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs once again will have a
terrific pitching staff, though, as we saw against UCLA, the Bulldogs must
develop the weekend rotation better next season. Left-handed pitcher Jacob
Lindgren should develop into the dominant arm we all think he can be, while the
Bulldogs can't wait for right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff to return from a
tough injury. The Bulldogs welcome plenty more quality arms, including Ross
Mitchell, closer Jonathan Holder, Ben Bracewell, Trevor Fitts, Will Cox and
others. The Bulldogs also welcome in a very solid recruiting class with
pitchers Dakota Hudson, Austin Sexton, Zach Houston, Avery Geyer and Glenn Irby
leading the way, while shortstop Reid Humphreys, ranked No. 247 out of high
school, is a potential instant impact position player. With the personnel he has
coming back and coming in, there's a reason coach John Cohen all but guaranteed
the Bulldogs would be back in the College World Series. LINK
