8-25-13 - Touki Toussaint displayed the talent that scouts are dreaming on. However, Toussaint also continued to work on a new wrinkle to his game, which could set him apart from his peers by the time June rolls around. The word that would best describe Touki Toussaint is projectable. Toussaint’s present stuff is already electric, as I’ll get into, but there may be no prep pitcher that possesses more upside than the athletic right-handed pitcher. It all starts with the loose, athletic body with a big frame that has scouts dreaming about what could be. Toussaint is one of the best athletes I saw this week, and that includes the positional players. http://rontrarianreport.com/2013/08/25/scouting-touki-toussaint-mlb-draft/
8-26-13 - Player: Luis Ortiz Primary Position: RHP Height/Weight: 6’3/220 Bats/Throws: R/R Home Town: Fresno, CA School: Sanger Travel Team(s): San Diego Show Class of: 2014 - 2013 Tournament of Stars notes from Don Olsen - Good frame, cleaned up a ton, looks stronger and more athletic and starting to really fire on all cylinders in a Yovani Gallardo type mold now. I am really impressed with the progress, showing the work ethic to play the game at a high level. Good arm action with a nice lower half that tends to be a bit upright in the release, could be leave it up with fatigue, and want to see in fuller workloads. Fastball was 91-93 (94) mph which is worked around, changed eye levels, and shows some backspin on it. Slider had good tilt, 83-84 mph, depth to be buried glove side, solid shot for above average offering. Change up, 83-84 mph, had some depth to it and arm showed good deception, solid projectable offering. Clean three pitch mix and workhorse frame with dedication to match, intriguing arm. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/26/2014-mlb-draft-profile-luis-ortiz/
8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 31. Brady Aiken, LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (CA) - One of the youngest players in the 2014 MLB draft, the 6’-4” southpaw is an alumni of Team USA Baseball and is very polished on the mound. His fastball sits in the low 90s, and both his curveball and change-up are solid offerings. He has great control of his pitches and dominated at The Tournament of Stars, striking out seven over three scoreless innings. He had a 1.18 ERA and 80 K/25 BB over 53.1 innings as a junior for a team that included 2013 fourth-round pick Stephen Gonsalves. Committed to UCLA. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
2013 East Coast Pro Showcase Top 50 Prospects - 41. Brian Gonzalez – 1B/LHP, McCarthy (FL) HS - 6’3, 230 two-way player has big time power and touched 90 on the mound. http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/sullys-top-50-ecp-prospects/
7-17-13 – Austin Cousino, CF, Kentucky - At just 5'10", 185 lbs, I thought this kid was going to slap the ball around but that was not the case at all. He's one of these high energy, quick twitch athletes that generates good bat speed with quick hands through the zone. He pulverized a double into the right-center field gap that could have easily went out had he gotten a little back spin on it. He runs well and should have no problems sticking in CF. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07/looking-ahead-to-the-2014-and-2015-mlb-draft-notes-from-the-collegiate-national-team-games/
