Draft 15 – Alex Bregman, Daz Cameron, Kyle Molnar, David Hearne, Kyle Funkhouser

draft 15 - alex bregman7-17-13 –  Alex Bregman, 2B, LSU: Bregman is a polished hitter who saw time at 2B and played the position well.  He's a good athlete who runs pretty well but it's all about the bat with Bregman.  He has a nice approach at the plate.  He's quick and short to the ball, showing  good bat speed.  Bregman squared the ball up consistently in both games and looks like he should have average power despite his smallish size (5'11", 185 lbs). http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07/looking-ahead-to-the-2014-and-2015-mlb-draft-notes-from-the-collegiate-national-team-games/

 

9-3-13 - Daz Cameron has people excited for the 2015 Draft already. I’m probably his biggest fan already and that’s really for 2 reasons. Georgia talent seems to have a soft spot in my heart and the kid can flat out rake. The question is will it be enough to be considered the best over names like Clint Frazier and Austin Meadows or 1 year earlier Byron Buxton who’s pretty much the consensus #1 prospect in baseball. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/09/02/daz-cameron-will-he-be-the-best-out-of-georgia/

 

Todd Gold ‏@TGold_PG  - 2015 RHP/OF Kyle Molnar (Aliso Viejo, CA) topped at 92 & added promising SL

 

9-9-13 – Top 10 Far West League Prospects - 2. David Hearne, rhp, Redding (So., Notre Dame) - Hearne made nine starts and 21 appearances for the Irish in the spring, going 1-2, 4.70 with 36 strikeouts and 14 walks in 44 innings as a true freshman. He’s a 6-foot-4, 195-pounder who stood out for his advanced feel of the strike zone, posting a 33-5 strikeout-walk ratio in 29 innings. Hearne’s fastball ranges from 89-93 mph with decent life, and he pairs it with a hard 76-78 mph curveball. He wasn’t a big name coming out of Providence Catholic (Ill.) High, but he has turned into a very good prospect with first-day draft potential in 2015, according to one scout. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/far-west-league-top-10-prospects/

9-10-13 – Top Arms in 2013 Cape Cod League - Kyle Funkhouser 6-3/205, Chatham Anglers 13 IP, 21 K, 4.15 ERA: FB 91-95 CB 79-81 SL 82-83 CH 86-87 -  He has “wow” stuff, and the 1.6 K/9 should speak for itself. Kyle can attack hitters anyway he wants. With his four pitch mix, I am shocked that he wasn’t in a starting rotation this summer. Louisville should give him a chance to work into games, and see how he develops. I think he is strong enough and has the raw stuff to succeed as a starter. http://bullpenbanter.com/2013-all-cape-team-pitchers/
