5-11-14 - Scott Blewett, RHP, Baker HS (NY) - At 6’-6” and 220 pounds, Blewett has the size you want in a frontline starter. He also has the arm as his fastball can touch 95 mph. He adds a potential plus curveball with great looping action, as well as a change-up and a circle-curve (change) he has been working on. Through 26 innings, he has 50 K/8 BB and has allowed one run on 12 hits. With his size, stuff and smooth mechanics, there is a lot of projection left. Committed to St. Johns. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-high-school-players-rise-final-edition/42853#cZ17mE5vsjiSvU18.99
3-17-14 – TTF – 10 High School Players On The Rise – Braxton Davidson, OF/1B, Roberson HS (NC) - At 6’-3” and 220 pounds, the left-handed hitting Davidson is already a beast. His power and advanced approach from the left side will land him in the first round of the 2014 MLB draft. His strong arm (92 mph from outfield) would play well in a corner outfield spot, although some believe he could end up at first base where he could be a plus defender. Over five games this season, he has gone 11-for-16 (.688) with four doubles and a home run, and he has yet to strike out. He has shown off his arm by striking out 20 over 10 shutout innings on the mound, allowing just one hit. Committed to North Carolina. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-high-school-players-rise-second-edition/41810#OfV5L7GbWgi2Xqtf.99

3-26-14 – TTF – 10 high school players on the rise — third
edition – Milton Ramos, SS, American Heritage HS (FL) - One of the best
defensive shortstops in the 2014 MLB draft, if not the best, Ramos is a 6’-1”,
170 pound right-hander with a lot of upside offensively, as well. He has shown
some pop this season hitting .487/.543/.923 over 12 games with two doubles,
three triples and three home runs. He has added seven stolen bases and has been
clocked at 6.53 in the 60, showing above-average speed on the base paths. If he
continues to show his offensive skills, he could go in the first round of the
2014 MLB draft. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-high-school-players-rise-third-edition/42098#CmrUPUJfBWKiV2MO.99
3-20-14 – Cubs Insider - • Trea Turner, North Carolina State University infielder: There are long-term
questions about whether he could stay at shortstop, but with nearly 100 stolen
bases on his college resume, he could become an offensive catalyst from the
leadoff spot. http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/mlb-draft-cubs-identifying-targets-no-4-overall-pick
3-19-14 – TTF – Connor
Joe, C/OF/1B, San Diego (NR) - It’s not so much what Joe has been doing
lately, it’s what he has been doing all season. Over 19 games, the 6’-0”, 210
pound right-hander is hitting .364/.474/.649 with five doubles, five home runs
and 25 RBI, and he has drawn 11 walks to 11 strikeouts. He has shown the
ability to play behind the plate, in the outfield and first base if needed. He
is new to catching but the arm plays well and he has been getting praise for
his receiving skills. The power is real and he has a solid approach at the
plate. As I mentioned above, the
catching crop is weak this year and if scouts believe he can remain
behind the plate, he could hear his name early on day two due to his power
potential. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise-week-5/41905#JeRjl1lAwHFUPJlv.99
3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - 3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - Derek Fisher came in at No. 15 on
that Top 50, the third-highest-ranked college hitter on the list. The
University of Virginia outfielder is out four to six weeks after breaking the
hamate bone in his right hand against Duke the weekend of March 8. Keep in
mind, once Fisher is back, it often takes those with this injury a while to get
their power stroke back. "There probably have been a lot of guys who've
seen him already," one cross-checker said about how this will impact
Fisher, Draft-wise. "The clubs that feel really comfortable with him could
see it as a bonus. Those that haven't might be chasing their tails." http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140318&content_id=69552214¬ebook_id=69553420&vkey=notebook_mlb&c_id=mlb
