Draft 14 - Touki Toussaint, Michael Gettys, Lukas Schiraldi, Christian Martinek, Jack Flaherty



1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 12. Milwaukee Brewers — Touki Toussaint, RHP, Coral Springs HS (FL) - One of the most exciting prep pitchers in the 2014 MLB draft because his stuff  can be electric. His fastball can touch 97 mph with explosive life and his curveball is already a plus pitch — a mid-70s hammer that some consider the best in the class. He adds a lot of deception to his delivery, and at 6’-2”, 195 pounds, there is still room for projection. His command can get erratic at times but the stuff is special. Committed to Vanderbilt. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99

1-9-14 - Nathan Rode ‏@NathanRode - Gainesville is perennial contender & has OF Michael Gettys, tooled up w/ power-speed combo, UGA recruit & No. 8 on my HS Top 50

12-9-13 – Pine Tar Press  -  37- RHP Lukas Schiraldi Texas- He pitched at Navarro College before moving onto the University of Texas. He is another pitcher who generated a lot of buzz on the Cape. He is the son of former UT star Calvin, and like his dad he is a pitcher who developed more “wow” stuff after high school. He works with a heavy fastball and has solid secondary offerings to work off of his fastball. (Out of first round-Royals selection around #35) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/

11-21-13 – BA Top 100 High School Players - 78 Christian Martinek LHP L/L 6-3 234 Jesuit HS, Beaverton, Ore. Oregon State http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-high-school-top-100-with-commitments/


12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 19. Jack Flaherty, 3B/RHP, Harvard-Westlake HS (CA) - Flaherty is a 6’-4”, 200-pound right-hander with massive power potential. The ball jumps off his bat and his plus bat speed suggests he should hit for a high average, as well. His arm, instincts and power potential profile well at the hot corner. He has shown above-average speed but probably isn’t a guy who is going to steal many bases. Playing for a national powerhouse, he will get plenty of attention this year. He is a baseball player in every sense of the word. Committed to North Carolina. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99
