12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 15. Kodi Medeiros, LHP,
Waiakea HS, (HI) - With two plus pitches already in his back pocket, the
southpaw who throws from a low-three quarters slot has some of the filthiest
stuff in the country — just ask anyone who faced him this year. His fastball
can touch 96 mph with late movement and life and his slider is nasty and wipes
out lefties. You don’t see many sidearm starters in the majors so it will be
interesting to watch his development. Also, at 6’-0” and 185 pounds, his
projection is limited. Still, he has established himself as one of best arms
available in the 2014 MLB draft. Committed to Pepperdine. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99

B/R – 11-21-13 - 13. San Diego Padres: Jacob Gatewood, SS, Clovis HS (Calif.) - Jacob Gatewood has an
athletic and projectable frame at 6’3”, 175 pounds that will allow him to add
considerable strength as he matures physically. He’s a right-handed hitter with
lightning-quick wrists and explosive bat speed that yield effortless plus raw
power—especially to the pull side. Currently a shortstop, Gatewood is expected
to outgrow the position and eventually slide over to third base. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1860341-2014-mlb-mock-draft-early-first-round-projections-for-all-30-teams/page/10

- 19- RHP Touki Toussaint Coral Springs Christian HS (Vanderbilt Commit)
6/20/96- I always find it interesting that there are so many professional
baseball players from the Dominican Republic yet hardly any players from Haiti.
The 2 share an island and the baseball bug just seems to have missed Haiti.
Touki might change that going forward as the native of Haiti continues to climb
the ladder as one of the premiere arms in his class. He has only played
baseball for 4 years but possesses a very quick arm that should be a consistent
mid 90s offering as he develops. He is
still refining his curve and change. I saw him in Jupiter, Florida where he definitely
was electric but seemed to tire early and lose the feel for his pitches.
Obviously, young arms will get excited when 100 plus scouts eyes are on them.
