2-21-14 – Jim Callis - Of the current top 15 Draft
prospects, who can make the biggest jump based on what they show this year? -
Tory J., Tampa, Fla. - Gainesville (Ga.) High School outfielder Michael Gettys immediately jumps to
mind. For the third straight year, the most electric high school talent is a
prep outfielder from the Peach State, with Gettys following Buxton (2012),
Frazier and Meadows (2013). Gettys posted some eye-popping numbers at the
Perfect Game National Showcase last June, running the 60-yard dash in 6.43
seconds, uncorking a throw clocked at 100 mph from the outfield and working at
91-94 mph off the mound. If he were solely a pitcher, he'd be an early-round
prospect, but he'll get drafted as an outfielder. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/pipeline-inbox-wholl-be-top-prospect-at-each-level?ymd=20140221&content_id=68046312
3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock – 15 Max
Pentecost C Kennesaw State - Pentecost
is going to end up behind the plate, and I still think he’s going to be a
regular. I’m just not sure how good of a regular he’s going to be. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/
2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise - Erick Fedde, RHP, UNLV (37) The 6’-4”, 190 pound right-hander was
brilliant in his first start of the season. On Friday against Central Michigan,
he went 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit. He added 11 strikeouts to
no walks as he baffled opponents all game with his stuff. His best pitch is his
mid-80s power slider that shows plus potential. He adds a 90-93 mph fastball
and a solid change-up to his arsenal. He has great mound presence and was a
member of Collegiate Team USA. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 41. Houston Astros — Derek Hill, OF, Elk Grove HS (CA) - One
of the better defensive outfielders in the 2014 MLB draft, the 6’-2”
right-hander has been timed at 6.44 in the 60 and his arm has been clocked at
93 mph from the outfield. His instincts, route running and speed allow him to
make highlight plays in center and he should stick at the premium position. At
the plate, he shows good bat speed and developing power. Committed to Oregon. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Baserunner: Carl
Chester, Sr. Lake Brantley - Chester turned in the top 60 time of the past
year from all Perfect Game events, a 6.28 at last June's National Showcase. A
plus runner, Chester uses his speed both in the outfield and on the bases,
showing aggressiveness on the base-paths and is very disruptive to the opposing
pitcher once he gets on. Todd Isaacs Jr. came bursting on the scene in Jupiter
with the Atlanta Blue Jays, and made a strong run at this category, as did Nick
Gordon. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
