8-23-13 - Player: Jack Flaherty Primary Position: SS Secondary Position(s): 3B/RHP Height/Weight: 6’4/205 Bats/Throws: R/R Home Town: Burbank, CA School: Harvard-Westlake Travel Team(s): SGV Arsenal Class of: 2014 Committed To: North Carolina - Scouting Notes: 2013 Tournament of Stars Notes from Don Olsen: Jack has the ideal slightly thick athletic frame with proportional development. He looks to fill into 225 pound athlete, when fully matured in a Scott Rolen type mold. Jack showed a little more fluidity in the hips with solid arm strength and carry, improved charge and little more agility. He maintains the soft hands, ability to pick anything, traits for plus defensive ability. Squares up with very good velocity, quick bat and drops the bat head in the zone, solid blend of contact and power, drives the ball well gap to gap. Good velocity on the bump. Jack shows the ability with three average pitches, good two way prospect.
8-16-13 - 11th All-American Classic - Michael Gettys | OF/RHP | Gainesville HS (Gainesville, GA) Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 205 pounds B/T: R/R Draft Day Age: 18 years, 7 months Commitment: Georgia Scouting Notes: Physical and athletic; built like a free safety, with a strong upper body; clearly has raw physical tools; run is easy plus; clocked a 4.03 to first in game action; gets out of the box fast and reaches top speed very quickly; arm is a hose—looks like a 7 (plus-plus); batting practice performance stood out; loud contact from easy swing; barreling up everything; game swing was still impressive, but didn’t find the same contact; not sure about the recognition; don’t see impact bat but red ass player with tools and a chance to hit. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=21537
8-13-13 - The Perfect Game All-American Classic in San Diego - *Nick Gordon (Olympia High School; Fla.) certainly can play shortstop, and obviously has the arm strength to stick at shortstop, but I’m not in love with the swing. He has a tendency to glide, and I’m not sure he’s going to be more than a gap hitter at the next level. With a 94 mile per hour fastball and a potentially plus curveball, I think I prefer Gordon on the mound at this point. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2013/08/thoughts-on-perfect-game-all-american-classic/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 29. Cobi Johnson, RHP, James Mitchell HS (FL) - At 6’-4” and 180 pounds, the right-hander has the ideal size for a frontline starter. His fastball has touched 93 mph, and he adds a solid curveball. His change-up, like most prep pitchers, is still developing, but he shows a good feel for pitching, and his athleticism will help with his progression. He has shown very good command of his stuff and had 103 K/14 BB over 71 innings as a junior. He also hit .426/.508/.703 over 30 games with 18 stolen bases. His velocity does drop off in later innings, but he should gain more stamina as he fills out his frame. He struck out three in one perfect inning at the PG Classic. Committed to Florida State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
