Draft 14 – Luis Ortiz, Justus Sheffield, Marcus Wilson, Tim Susnara



1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 25. Pittsburgh Pirates — 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-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99

12-9-13 – Pine Tar Press  -  41- LHP Justus Sheffield Tullahoma HS (Vanderbilt Commit) 5/13/96- The younger brother of 2013 Red Sox draft pick Jordan. Justus is a strike-throwing machine who already has 2 quality secondary pitches. He uses both well and works them around his low 90’s heat. (Out of first round- Reds selection) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/

12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 21. Marcus Wilson, OF, Serra HS (CA) - At 6’-3” and 180 pounds, the right-hander is raw in areas but has a lot of upside based on his plus speed and ability to drive the ball to all fields. His size implies more power will come. He also has a plus arm and is one of those players that gets better every time out. One of the youngest players in the 2014 MLB draft and one of those quick-twitch athletes scouts love. Committed to Arizona State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99


11-21-13 – BA Top 100 High School Players - 58 Tim Susnara C L/R 5-10 188 St. Francis HS, Redwood City, Calif. Oregon http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-high-school-top-100-with-commitments/
