avatar - 2013 draft


8-6-13 - Top pitchers - East Coast Professional Showcase, Syracuse, NY -  6. Cobi Johnson, RHP, James W. Mitchell HS (Fla.): The son of former big leaguer Dane Johnson, the big right-hander was very efficient, throwing just 28 pitches over three innings. He showed a very good breaking ball, had excellent command and threw everything downhill. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130806&content_id=56048786&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

 

8-9-14 - Jacob Godfrey RHP from New Lenox, IL showed a live arm with a low 90s FB and hitting 93 with good late tailing action.  He also showed a hard breaking slider in the high 70s.  He has a good feel for and change up and it could develop into a very good pitch http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/09/area-code-day-4/

 

7-24-13  -  Scott Hurst, of, Bishop Amat, La Puente., Calif./San Gabriel Valley Arsenal - Hurst has a compact, athletic build and broad chest at 6-foot, 180 pounds. He has at least an above-average arm and plus speed, giving the Cal State Fullerston commit a chance to be a strong defender. With a simple setup, quiet stride and balanced swing, Hurst has good contact ability and bat speed. Hurst produces surprising pop. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

 

8-6-13 - Nathan Rode ‏@NathanRode  - Touki Toussaint 90-93 w/ 73-75 CB. Trouble w/ Ks in 1st, but settled in 2nd. Walked 4 in 1st. CB is good, but lacks sharpness it had in Jupiter.

 

7-25-13 – Top 30 High School Prospects For 2014 Draft - 18. Zach Shannon, RF, Anderson HS (OH) - 6'2/220, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.96, Ohio State commit - Quick Take: Shannon has a plus arm in right field and is 91-94 mph with a plus 78-81 mph slider on the mound but has an ugly arm action so scouts prefer him as a hitter. Shannon is young for the class, has a live bat with above average bat speed, feel to hit in games, at least average raw power but a slightly mechanical swing. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html
