1-24-14 - Derek
Fisher would be filling a need for the Mets, as he would give the system an
outfielder with power who could potentially move quickly through the team's
farm system. Fisher is an outfielder for the University of Virginia who has the
tools of a stud corner outfielder, but those tools have yet to translate on the
field. In 2013, Fisher recorded an .888 OPS and hit only seven home runs—solid
numbers but not indicative of his raw talent. Despite the lack of home runs,
Fisher has plenty of raw power that makes scouts salivate at his future home run
potential. Another quality that could attract the Mets to Fisher is his patient
approach at the plate, a trait the Mets preach to their young prospects. While
his patience is enticing, Fisher still has some swing-and-miss in his approach.
As Mets fans have witnessed with Ike Davis, power hitters can be supremely
frustrating when they aren't making contact. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1934895-4-prospects-the-new-york-mets-could-target-in-the-2014-mlb-draft/page/3
1-20-14 – PG Preseason College All-Americans – Outfield - Michael Conforto, Oregon State - 2013
Stats: .328 AVG, 14 2B, 1 3B, 11 HR, 47 RBI, 41 BB, 47 SO, 6 SB There are only
a couple of hitters in college baseball that would be more feared than
Conforto. Conforto is a pure hitter and has advanced skills in other areas,
too. Conforto has an elite arm in left field, and offensively, he led the
Beavers last season with big-time power despite hitting in a home ballpark that
typically isn’t conducive to amazing power numbers. Conforto has a
stocky/compact frame and is expected to have a productive spring as the
nation’s No. 17 overall prospect. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9294
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 11. Toronto Blue Jays — Max Pentecost, C, Kennesaw State - The
Blue Jays receive this pick for failing to come to terms with their 2013 first
round pick, Phil Bickford. Maybe the highest riser in the draft so far,
Pentecost is perhaps the best catching prospect in a class weak on them. Even
if he doesn’t stick behind the plate, his offensive potential and athleticism
make him first-round material. The 6’-1” right-hander was the MVP of the Cape
Cod League after hitting .346 over 35 games with six home runs, 29 RBI and five
stolen bases. He also drew 16 walks to 22 strikeouts, showing off a solid
approach at the plate. Many believe the power will continue to develop. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
