Draft 14 – Jacob Gatewood, Joe Gatto, Michael Gettys, Chandler Taylor

draft - jacob gatewood


7-24-13  -  2. Jacob Gatewood, ss/3b/of, Clovis (Calif.) High/SGV Arsenal - The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Gatewood has a lanky, projectable physique with a high waist and long limbs. He uses a toe tap, pronounced weight transfer and quick hands to generate some of the best raw power in the class. Gatewood put on a show in batting practice, hitting balls off the batter’s eye in center field and into the trees well beyond left field. He has an aggressive, pull-oriented approach. Gatewood has a strong arm and has displayed low-90s velocity on the mound . A shortstop currently, Gatewood’s size will likely push him off the position, as will his average-to-tick above speed. The Southern California signee has a strong chance to become a first-round pick like his father, Henry, the 11th selection in the January 1982 draft. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

 

7-31-13 - 7-31-13 - Clint Longenecker ‏@Clint_BA   - 6'5 projectable rhp joseph gatto 90-93…  Jeff Sullivan ‏@JSully12  - Joe Gatto - RHP, St. Augustine Prep (NJ) worked a scoreless 1st, sitting 90-91

 

7-25-13 – Top 30 High School Prospects For 2014 Draft - 7. Michael Gettys, CF/RHP, Gainesville HS (GA) - 6'2/200, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.62, Georgia commit, Full Report & Video - Quick Take: Known primarily as a pitcher entering the summer, Gettys showed plus-plus speed, arm strength and bat speed to go with at least average power in a June showcase before working 91-94 mph with an above average breaking ball on the mound. Most scouts prefer his upside as a hitter and there's questions about his ability to hit off-speed stuff but he could move up this list with a strong spring. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html

 

7-31-13 - Jeff Sullivan ‏@JSully12 - Very impressive bat speed and overall round of BP from Alabama Christian Academy OF Chandler Taylor
