2-3-14 – MaxPreps - Top 10 MLB Draft Prospects in high
school - 4. Touki Toussaint, Coral
Springs Christian (Coral Springs, Fla.)
Toussaint might have been the hottest prospect right after last year's
draft, as one mock draft in June listed him as the No. 1 overall pick in the
2014 draft. Mock drafts produced in the last few months have Toussaint slipping
some, but that may be due more to the emergence of Kolek and Gatewood than any
deficiency on Toussaint's part. Toussaint's best assets are his athletic
ability, a 98 mph fastball and a hard-breaking curveball. Expect Toussaint to
go somewhere in the top 12. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/B41AzcsA90iOL5xwFL8T7Q/top-10-major-league-baseball-draft-high-school-prospects.htm
3-25-14 – TTF 10 college players on the rise — week 6 - Ben Wetzler, LHP, Oregon State (NR) - If
ever there was someone pitching with a chip on his shoulder, Wetzler is that
guy. After another dominant performance against Arizona State on March 21, in
which he allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts
to one walk, the 6’-1” southpaw now has a 0.59 ERA, 0.49 WHIP over 30.2 innings
with 28 K/6 BB and just nine hits. His fastball sits in the 89-91 mph range and
he adds a slider and change-up — both quality offerings. He attacks hitters and
mixes his pitches well, commanding all three. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise-week-6/42071#MDUXGtxd7YCtKt0X.99
3-9-14 – MLB Draft Insider - JD Davis – 1B Cal State Fullerton – Davis was held hitless in two
at bats on Saturday. He did managed two walks on the day. Davis has shown a
very good eye and excellent patience, averaging nearly a walk a game for Cal
State Fullerton. It was a rough day for Cal State’s offense which was held to
three hits and failed to score asingle run. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-rundown-march-8/#more-3872
3-5-14 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise — week 3 Kyle Freeland, LHP, Evansville (29) -
After getting roughed up a bit (4 IP, 4 ER, 7 H) in his last start, Freeland
was masterful against Western Illinois on Friday. Over nine shutout innings, he
allowed just two hits while striking out nine to no walks. He threw 98 pitches,
71 of them for strikes. He was one of the better pitchers at the Cape over the
summer, striking out 48 to four walks over 40 innings while displaying a plus
slider and low/mid-90s fastball. He isn’t going to face great competition this
year but his stuff is first-round material. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-week-3/41478#ilZqhEaASo2Kkjik.99
UT - Brendan Illies,
Jr., RHP/C, Puyallup (Wash.) - Illies' two-way ability allows him to maintain
his spot in the Dream Team's Util position for a second consecutive season as
an underclassman. Fellow junior SS/RHP Parker Kelly of Oregon has been
progressing and is already breathing down Illies' neck for this spot after also
just missing the cut in the middle infield and being considered for the pitching
staff. Illies is the best player on the best team in the region and he's a
multi-talented player who provides huge value to them. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9561
