2-13-14 - Today we look at the rankings from Northern
California. Strong crop for the Golden State and the No. 1 guy is Jacob Gatewood out of Clovis (Calif.)
High School. Gatewood is a shortstop and can play at third and it will be
interesting to see where his future position lies. Gatewood is headed off to
Southern Cal next fall, that is if he doesn’t sign out of high school. The
6-foot-4, 190 pounder played two years in the Area Code Games (Athletics) and
played in the 2013 Perfect Game All-American Classic in Petco Park. - See more at: http://www.studentsports.com/baseball/2014/02/13/jacob-gatewood-norcals/#sthash.mjtZZxbN.dpuf

– MLB Draft Insider Mock – 09. Bradley Zimmer OF San
Francisco - The more I study Zimmer the more I am impressed; he might be the
only five-tool player in this entire class, and there’s a non-zero chance that
he ends up in center-field despite being 6’5″. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – MIF – Milton Ramos, Sr. American Heritage -
Ramos is one of the best defenders in the this years draft class and has drawn
favorable comps to fellow Floridian and 2013 second round pick Oscar Mercado.
His bat has made steady progression over the summer and into the fall and will
be followed closely this spring, especially as he adds strength to his frame. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 64. Detroit Tigers — Zach Shannon, 3B/RHP, Moeller HS (OH) - A two-way
prospect who may have more upside as a hitter, the 6’-3”, 220 pound
right-hander has a canon arm (95 mph) and his power bat would play well at the
hot corner. He has shown the ability to hit to all fields and has good bat
speed. On the mound, he also has an upper-70s curveball that shows plus
potential to go along with his plus fastball that hit 95 mph at the PG Classic.
He hails from the same school that produced Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Larkin and
Buddy Bell. Committed to Ohio State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Off-speed Stuff: Touki Toussaint, Sr. Coral Springs
Academy - Toussaint claims back-to-back categories as his breaking ball is the
pitch that he is most known for on the national scene. A true knockout pitch,
Toussaint varies the velocity on the curveball, with a power curveball up to 80
mph and a knee buckling, mid-70s pitch with outstanding depth and break. In
Jupiter his curveball registered 2800 RPM (rotations per minute) on the
TrackMan radar, surpassing the MLB average of 2500 RPM. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
