Michael Chavis, J.J. Schwartz, Chase Vallot, Trenton Kemp

1-30-14 - Michael Chavis | 3B/2B/OF | Sprayberry (Marietta, GA) | Commit: Clemson  Height/Weight: 5-foot-10/195 pounds  B/T: R/R  Draft Day Age: 18y 10m  Chavis hits. That’s the simplest description of the Clemson commit's profile. He utilizes a short and explosive swing that produces regular loud contact and allows him to both turn on velocity and let pitches travel on the outer half. The lack of load can lead to an abrupt entry into the swing and inconsistent barrel delivery—something that could potentially be exposed by more advanced pitching, even if it leads to more soft contact than empty swings. Those issues have yet to surface, however, and the core of the profile remains Chavis’ ability to put barrel to ball on a consistent basis. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=22705#.UurW2-Hoi5s.twitter

1-27-14 – BP - Positional Preview: High School Catchers - JJ Schwarz | C | Palm Beach Gardens (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) | Commit: Florida  Height/Weight: 6-foot-2/195 pounds  B/T: R/R  Draft Day Age: 18y 2m  Schwarz stood out most for me at East Coast Pro, where he showed an ability to impact the game in the box and behind the plate. Offensively he shows some whip in the barrel and has no trouble producing hard contact and carry to the gaps. Defensively his actions are sound and the arm is a tick above average, which he’s not afraid to show-off via backpicks. He was one of the more consistent performers throughout the summer and fall, with particularly impressive showings with Team USA, at East Coast Pro, with FTB Mizuno in Jupiter, and at the Diamond Club Showcase. He profiles as a sound defender with the chance to hit for average power and could garner early-round attention with a solid spring. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=22662

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 51. San Diego Padres — Chase Vallot, C/OF, St. Thomas More HS (LA) - One of the youngest players in the draft, the 6’-0”, 205 pound right-hander generates a ton of raw power due to his bat speed and strong wrists. His strong arm, size and footwork could allow him to stick at a premium position but many believe a move to a corner outfield position is likely. Another player I got to see at Wrigley, he hit a couple bombs out of the park with ease and showed a polished approach at the plate during the game. Committed to Mississippi State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
