5-11-14 - Sean Reid-Foley, RHP, Sandalwood HS (FL) - One of my favorites in the 2014 MLB draft, Foley was brilliant all season for the Saints. Over 67 innings, he had 124 K/17 BB, allowing six runs on just 17 hits. He tossed three no-hitters and was nearly untouchable all year. The 6’-4”, 200 pound right-hander has been rising all season due to his size and four-pitch mix. His fastball touches 94 mph with late life, and he adds a filthy, upper-70s curveball that is one of the best in this deep class of prep arms. His slider has shown flashes of plus potential and his change-up is still developing. Could go top-20 and is committed to Florida State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-high-school-players-rise-final-edition/42853#cZ17mE5vsjiSvU18.99
5-11-14 - Chase Vallot, C, St. Thomas More HS (LA) - Blessed with tremendous bat speed, Vallot is one of the best power bats in the 2014 MLB draft and he has a legitimate shot to stick behind the plate due to his receiving skills and plus arm. His offensive upside could force a move to the outfield, however. Through 31 games, he is hitting .529/.633/1.103 with 12 doubles, 12 home runs, 54 RBI and has drawn 24 walks to 14 strikeouts, showing a patient approach at the plate as team want nothing to do with him most of the time. Should go among the top-50 picks and is committed to Mississippi State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-high-school-players-rise-final-edition/42853#cZ17mE5vsjiSvU18.99

3-26-14 – TTF – 10 high school players on the rise — third
edition – Michael Kopech, RHP, Mount Pleasant HS (TX) - On Tuesday, March 25,
Kopech had 16 strikeouts to two walks over seven shutout innings. He now has 59
K/7 BB over 29 innings, allowing just 11 hits. The 6’-4”, right-hander has
touched 98 mph with his fastball this season, and his mechanics and size could
allow for even more velocity. He adds a plus slider with hard bite and is one
of my favorite players in this year’s class. I saw him at the 2013 Under Armour
All-American Game at Wrigley, and he put on a clinic in his one inning of work.
Committed to Arizona. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-high-school-players-rise-third-edition/42098#CmrUPUJfBWKiV2MO.99
3-19-14 – TTF – Michael
Conforto, OF, Oregon State (24) -
Conforto has been reaching base at a torrid clip all season and just seems to
keep getting better. Over his last six games, he has gone 10-for-18 (.556) with
two doubles, a triple and a home run — his first of the year. He has also drawn
eight walks over that span and has a .714 OBP. On the season, he is now hitting
.400/.582/.600 over 21 games with nine extra-base hits, 30 RBI and a silly 26
walks to just seven strikeouts. The 6’-3” left-hander is starting to look like
a top-15 pick in the 2014 MLB draft based on his bat alone. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise-week-5/41905#JeRjl1lAwHFUPJlv.99
