League Futures Top 25 Poll – 8 Nicholas Gordon SS Olympia (FL) http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/11/26/mlb-draft-top-25-prospects-poll/
B/R – 11-21-13 - 30. Boston Red Sox: Nick Burdi, RHP, University of Louisville - After appearing in only
14 games as a true freshman in 2012, Nick Burdi was absolutely dominating this
past season as Louisville’s closer, posting a 0.76 ERA with 16 saves and a
62-13 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 35.2 innings. The 6’4”, 218-pound right-hander
has grown into his frame over the last year and has seen his velocity jump as a
result. Out of the bullpen, his fastball sits in the upper-90s and frequently
eclipses triple digits. Meanwhile, his slider represents a second plus offering
with devastating, wipeout break. If he’s ultimately moved into the starting
rotation next year at Louisville—or when he turns pro after the season—Burdi
may have to adjust his current low-three-quarters arm angle for durability
reasons. However, part of his allure stems from the movement on all his pitches
generated by said arm angle. Regardless of his role, Burdi’s arm strength and
ability to miss bats has already made him one of the more talked about
prospects in the 2014 draft class. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1860341-2014-mlb-mock-draft-early-first-round-projections-for-all-30-teams/page/10

12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 14. Luis Ortiz, RHP, Sanger HS (CA) - The
6’-3”, 220-pound right-hander will be almost 19 on draft day, making him one of
the older players in his class. Because of this, his upside isn’t as high as
others on this list. That said, his stuff is really good and his fastball sits
in the 92-95 mph range. He adds a developing plus slider that sits in the
mid-80s and his offspeed stuff is still in the developmental stages. He has
great mound presence and feel for his pitches, and he also is a good athlete.
Committed to Fresno State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99
