Draft 14 – Tyler Beede, Max Pentecost, Brady Aiken, Alex Faedo, Trea Turner



12-9-13 – Pine Tar Press  -  6- RHP Tyler Beede Vanderbilt 5/23/93- He turned down the Blue Jays (21st overall) out of HS and has become a dominant collegiate for Vandy winning 14 games as a sophomore. He has 3 solid pitches with a 92-94 fastball and a very good curve and change. He still has question marks with overall command. (Cubs @ 4) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/

12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 6. Brady Aiken, LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (CA) - Maybe the most polished prep pitcher available, the 6’-4” southpaw is an alumni of Team USA Baseball and was the winning pitcher in the gold medal game against Japan in the World Cup Championship in Taiwan, allowing just one run over seven innings, striking out 10. His fastball sits in the low 90s, and both his curveball and change-up are above-average offerings with still room for more. He has great control of his pitches and dominated at The Tournament of Stars, striking out seven over three scoreless innings. Still has projection left and room for more velocity. Committed to UCLA. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99

11-21-13 – BA Top 100 High School Players - 48 Alex Faedo RHP R/R 6-4 203 Alonso HS, Tampa Florida http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-high-school-top-100-with-commitments/
B/R – 11-21-13 - 3. Chicago White Sox: Trea Turner, SS, North Carolina State - At 6’2”, 175 pounds, Turner is excellent athlete with legitimate 80-grade speed—yes, he’s fully healthy after dealing with a severe ankle sprain for most of the 2013 season—and the defensive chops to stick at shortstop long term. At the plate, the right-handed hitter shows above-average bat speed with a smooth swing but lacks consistent over-the-fence pop. Still, his wheels and base running savvy should make him a consistent extra-base threat at the highest level. Turner’s plate discipline and approach are both highly advanced for his age and should give him the chance to reach his hit-tool ceiling at the next level. And with a strong junior campaign alongside teammate Carlos Rodon, he has the potential to be the first position player to come off the board. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1860341-2014-mlb-mock-draft-early-first-round-projections-for-all-30-teams/page/10
