Frankie Piliere - @FPiliere - Pavin Smith had
a 4 hit game yesterday for Virginial and continues to become a very intriguing
candidate for the #1 overall pick
WTGCTT - Pavin Smith is a powerful 1B prospect from Univ. of
Virginia, 1 of just 7 college hitters in mlb.com's top 50 draft prospects. He can both hit and hit for power with strong
walk rates and relatively low K rates(note the reversed K/BB in 2016 college
season). Since he's pretty much limited
to 1B, he's going to have to hit a ton, but he appears to be capable of doing
just that.
Nathan Rode @NathanRode - Big crowd at LHP MacKenzie Gore last night. GMs, SDs, assistants.
Allowed first BB of year. 15 Ks in 6 IP. Touched 96. 93-95 late
Athlon - Gore, who signed to play at East Carolina, has an
excellent advanced arsenal of pitches to go with enough (87-91 mph) velocity to
be a potential early-round pick.
Kendall Rogers - @KendallRogers -
Florida C Mike Rivera will miss the next
four weeks because of a broken hamate bone. JJ Schwarz/Mark Kolozsvary will split plate duties.
Frankie
Piliere - @FPiliereD1 - Big blow for Florida - also worth watching as
his draft stock had been trending upwards in recent weeks
Brendan McKay Gocards allowed just
one hit in eight dominant innings on the mound and added pair of hits at the
plate to lead the No. 2 Louisville baseball team to a 3-0 victory over Georgia
Tech in Thursday night's series-opener at Russ Chandler Stadium. McKay finished
with eight strikeouts while surrendering only a fourth inning single to go with
two walks to move to 5-2 on the season and 26-9 in his collegiate career. The
junior lefthander retired the final 13 batters he faced while reaching eight
strikeouts in a game for the 24th time. McKay, who ranks second in career
strikeouts at Louisville with 321, has a 1.19 ERA and 76 strikeouts in his 53.0
innings this season.
Gocards -
Summer 2016: Had a stellar summer at the plate and on the mound for USA
Collegiate National Team... Hit .326 overall with five RBI in 13 starts as a
hitter while also registering a 2-1 record with a 1.35 ERA and 10 strikeouts in
13.1 innings on the mound.
D1 - While we aren’t listing these players in order
of who has helped their stock the most, you simply cannot start the
conversation without Logan Warmoth. No name is
on the tips of scouts’ tongues the way Warmoth’s is and he’s, quite frankly,
the fastest rising commodity in the class right now. Warmoth has shown he is an
extremely steady hand at shortstop and has the arm strength to finish the play
from deep in the hole. Even for the scouts who question his ability at
shortstop, most still see him as a potential 20-20 type of talent at the big
league level. He’s shown plus speed and consistent above-average power this
spring, so even if he cannot stick at shortstop, he is a potentially dynamic
second baseman in waiting at the big league level. Warmoth already has seven
home runs and 15 stolen bases on the year.
