6-22-13 - Player:
Trea Turner
Position: SS School:
NC State Height/Weight: 6’1/175
Bats/Throws: R/R 2014 Class:
College Junior Previously Drafted: 2011, 20th rd, Pirates Scouting Report: from
Don Olsen on 6/18/2013 - Trea is a slender ideal frame, athletic lean, with
decent overall development. He should sit 180-190 pounds as he matures;
definitely see a bit more lower half development. He has a little bit of load, with some
uplift. This is a minor issue as he has
the blend of rhythm and bat speed to make contact concerns die off. Good
balance and weight transfer with lower half torque in the swing. Short compact path with good bat head
control, drops the barrel with a mistake for pull power at this stage. Shows solid plate coverage, good gap power,
stays back on decent breaks, sound approach.
He can get a good amount of backspin on pulled balls, so seen power
improvements over multiple views this spring.
On the paths, I have caught 3.85 – 4.0 down the line and 2.79 – 3.0 from
1st to 2nd. His instinct on the path is
already mature, picks a part pitchers timing and triggers quickly. Soft hands, range to left and right is good,
arm to carry, footwork around the bag and transfer is sound. He has cleaned up footwork on catch, set,
release, but it can be a point of growth in his game.
6-13-13 - 9. Los Angeles Angels — Jacob Gatewood, OF, Clovis HS (CA) - At 6’-4” and 200
pounds, the right-hander generates a ton of power due to his excellent bat
speed and he also has a canon arm that has been clocked in the low/mid-90s. He
plays shortstop now, but with his size, a move to the hot corner seems likely
and his arm and bat would more than play well there. Not fast, he is a very
good athlete and there is still a good amount of projection left. Committed to
USC. LINK
6-22-13 - Player:
Tyler Spoon
Position: OF School:
Arkansas Height/Weight: 5’11/190
Bats/Throws: R/R 2014 Class:
College RS Sophomore Scouting Report: - from Don Olsen on 6/18/2013 -
Tyler has a compact and lean athletic build in the Bobby Higginson type mold,
with good development in the hips and upper quads. At the plate, he has a wide stance. Tyler shows a quite lower half, good hip
rotation, simple swing. High hands, no
trigger, little longer path with the compact path and hand speed makes it a
non-issue. He shows a good patient
approach at the plate. Path is line
drive, good bat head control and balance, finds the barrel and routinely
squares up. Sound contact hitter with
spray gap power. He does show good pull
power and with maturation it could an average to above average tool, solid hit
tool. Defensively, he tracks the ball
off the bat, decent range, and above average arm strength with carry to profile
at either corner position down the road. LINK
6-27-13 - SOUTH CAROLINA - Hey, remember these guys?
The Gamecocks stole the show in Omaha for three years with back-to-back
national titles, and national runner-up honors in 2012. However, the Gamecocks
stayed at home this June after dropping a hard-fought, three-game series
against North Carolina. With that said, look for the garnet and black to make
the trek back to Omaha next June. The bullpen certainly is a concern for the
Gamecocks without Tyler Webb and Adam Westmoreland, but keep an eye on a very
talented crop of newcomers, including Cody Mincey, Wil Crowe, John Parke and
Canaan Cropper, among others. The Gamecocks also will have a very good starting
rotation with left-handed pitchers, junior Jordan Montgomery and sophomore Jack
Wynkoop, back in the mix. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks should have a very good
offensive lineup. The Gamecocks return six of their top seven leading hitters,
but must replace hard-hitting first baseman LB Dantzler. Junior shortstop Joey
Pankake is expected to have an All-American type of campaign, while catcher
Grayson Greiner and outfielder Tanner English also are capable of having very
good years at the plate, with Greiner making strides as a sophomore this past
season. South Carolina is hungry again, and should return to Omaha after a one-year
hiatus. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=8705
