8-16-13 - 11th All-American Classic - Alex Jackson | C/3B/OF | Rancho Bernardo HS (San Diego, CA) Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 210 pounds B/T: R/R Draft Day Age: 18 years, 5 months Commitment: Oregon Scouting Notes: Big talent; reminds me of Jorge Alfaro because of build and skill-set; arm is a 7; showed sub-1.9 pops; feel for catch-and-throw; shows leadership qualities behind the plate; moves better than expected; still new to the position but work ethic impressed; can stay behind the plate if he wants to; bat is highly projectable; both raw hit and power; good bat-to-ball skills; contact is easy and loud; power is going to be there; could be a 6/6 hit/power type if everything clicks; big makeup; potential to be a top-five pick in 2014. - http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=21537
8-25-13 - Nathan Rode @NathanRode - Tyler Kolek (TX) erratic, but hard to argue with 94-97. Heavy ball too. Walked two
8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 8. Sean Newcomb, LHP, Hartford - The 6’-5”, 240-pound southpaw was among the leaders in K/9 with a 11.5 mark this season thanks to a fastball that can touch 95 mph. Over 13 starts, he had a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 92 K/37 BB over 72 innings while holding hitters to a .213 batting average. With increased improvement of his command, as well as secondary stuff, he should be a big name to watch next year. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
2013 East Coast Pro Showcase Top 50 Prospects - 32. Justin Steele – LHP, George County (MS) HS - Wasn’t aware of Steele before the event, but he is certainly on the radar now after coming out sitting 91-92, touching 93. http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/sullys-top-50-ecp-prospects/
7-17-13 – Trea Turner SS, NC State - Turner oozes athleticism and upside at SS. He's still very lean and looks like he has some room to pack on some muscle without losing some of his tremendous speed, which rates as top-of-the line 80 on the scouting scale. He was very quick at SS, ranging well to each direction and showing a strong arm. Turner didn't hit the ball particularly well on these particular days (in fact, he went 0 for 9) but does have a smooth stroke that should hit for average along with a good eye at the plate. He's a top 5 talent and has perhaps even a chance at #1 overall considering position value and his all-around skill set. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07/looking-ahead-to-the-2014-and-2015-mlb-draft-notes-from-the-collegiate-national-team-games/
