Oregon 7, California 1 – LHP David Peterson (OR): 6.0-IP, 9-H, 0-R, 8-K, 1-BB, Win (4-1)

 Scouting Baseball - Last spring, Oregon had a three-headed monster in their rotation. All southpaws, all tall, all with explosive stuff. Matt Krook and Cole Irvin are now gone to the professional ranks, leaving David Peterson as the remaining stud of the Ducks' rotation. Ready for the lime-life, Peterson has shown just as high, if not a higher ceiling, than the two aforementioned. A freak basketball accident, leaving Peterson with a broken right fibula, took the majority of the southpaw's senior season in high school. If not for the broken leg, Peterson may have never stepped foot on campus and been pitching as a professional. If that was the scenario, Peterson may have never met Jason Dietrich. The brand new pitching coach at Oregon has been known for his ability to fix control problems, which is something Peterson needed assistance with. The immediate connection showed over the summer, and should only improve in Peterson's draft eligible year.

Christopher D Gill‏ @cdgillblessed  -  Elijah Gill 2017 Grad 5 IP 8 K's (Providence vs Westminster) 3-1 Win

PG - PG Grade: 9.5 - Elijah Gill is a 2017 LHP/OF with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Jacksonville, FL who attends Providence Christian HS. Medium build with good present strength, wide shoulders. Medium effort delivery with a long arm action in back, high 3/4's arm slot, arm is smooth and loose, has some upper body tilt to let his arm through but repeats it well and maintains his direction well, works from the first base side of the rubber to create angle. Fastball topped out at 87 mph, has some arm side run and glove side cut, gets off the barrel with late action. Has advanced feel for his curveball, can vary the shape and location with maturity. Maintains arm speed on change up very well with consistent fading action. Has the ability and instincts to mix and keep hitters off balance with some deception to his delivery. Good student, signed with Florida International.
