Draft 14 – Michael Gettys, Aaron Nola, Alex Jackson, Derek Fisher, Nick Gordon



2-17-14 - Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB  -  Michael Gettys, if he convinces scouts he'll hit. @NoToryousone1: of top 15 #mlbDraft Prospects, who can make biggest jump based on what they show


3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock –  11  Aaron Nola         RHP        LSU        -  Let me be clear; Nola is still fighting an uphill battle as a guy who doesn’t have an out-pitch and who throws from that low of slot, but his command and feel for pitching have been as good as any pitcher in baseball. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/

2-14-14 - The No. 1 player from the Southern part of the state is Alex Jackson a catcher/outfielder from Rancho Bernardo (Calif.). Jackson is a physical player, standing in at 6-foot-1, 225-pounds and is headed off to Oregon, if he doesn’t sign after the draft. At the Area Code workout last summer, Jackson showed his defensive skills from behind the plate, but it was in the outfield where you got an appreciated for his arm strength. At the plate, he has a good swing and solid approach. - See more at: http://www.studentsports.com/baseball/2014/02/13/alex-jackson-socals-no-1/#sthash.ZE8Fg86C.dpuf

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 13. San Diego Padres — Derek Fisher, OF, Virginia - The Padres always seem to need some offense in their system, and Fisher is one of the best all-around college players available. He made great strides last year in his approach at the plate dropping his strikeouts from 61 to 38 over roughly the same number of games. The 6’-3” right-hander is a great athlete with good speed on the base paths. Over 53 games as a sophomore, he hit .306 with 12 doubles, seven home runs, stole eight bases and had a .420 OBP/.505 SLG. He hit .333 in the Cape Cod League and drew 25 walks to just 19 strikeouts, again showing his improvement in his approach. I think a big year is coming. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99


2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – UT – Nick Gordon, Sr. Olympia - Gordon has been in the national spotlight for some time and continues to show high level tools every time he steps on the field. The multi-position standout will stick at shortstop at the next level, thanks to his superb athleticism and smooth fielding actions, but he also has a strong feel with the bat from the left side. Gordon is also a top round talent on the mound, working comfortably with his fastball in the low-90s and also shows feel for a hammer breaking ball. He has the MLB bloodlines – his father is former big-league coser Tom “Flash” Gordon – but Gordon is his own player and has added noticeable muscle to his frame, helping to develop power and show all five tools at an elite level.  http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
