2013 Draft-Notes - Gandy Stubblefield, Dominic Smith, Aaron Judge, Dalton Dulin,Justis Boever

RHP Gandy Stubblefield, Texas A&M -- Stubblefield has a big-time arm, but struggled with his command in the spring for the Aggies. This summer, he was very consistent and put up some solid numbers. He made eight appearances and had a 3.46 ERA in 39 innings. He also struck out 53 and walked 16, while teams hit him at a .213 clip. PG  

Dominic Smith LHP/1B Serra HS, California- Big bodied power bat who drew a Ryan Howard comp from a scout friend of mine. Very relaxed at the plate with the ability to recognize his pitch and crush it. Upside also as a LHP with low to potentially mid 90′s heat. Pinetar 

Aaron Judge IF  Lakewood (Calif.) High  Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 180. B/T: L/R.  Crawford is a talented young player who makes the game look easy. The starting shortstop at Lakewood since his freshman year, he is a quick-twitch athlete with smooth actions. At the plate he is a gap-to-gap hitter with a fluid swing from the left side. He has excellent range and plenty of arm strength. He is verbally committed to Southern California

Dalton Dulin  IF  Memphis  Ht.: 5-9. Wt.: 165. B/T: B/R.  Dulin is a high-energy player that constantly puts pressure on the other team with his speed. His short, quick swing sprays line drives to all fields and his speed on the bases impacts the game every time out. In addition, his instincts are among the best in the country. He is verbally committed to Mississippi.

Justis Boever is a wiry 6-foot-4, 180-pound right handed pitcher who comes from a high ¾ arm slot with a long, loose arm and good rhythm on the mound. Boever’s fastball sat an easy 84-86 mph with late cut and was consistently thrown for a strike. He also showcased a sharp, late breaking 11-to-5 breaking ball  (67-73) with fastball arm speed and a 68-71 mph change up down in the zone with arm side movement. Boever has plenty of room to fill out his frame, and as he continues to mature physically should see a spike in velocity. PBR

2013 Draft-Notes - Trey Ball, Sean Manaea, Dalton Dulin, Clint Freeman

The White Sox countered with projectable 6-foot-6, 180-pound southpaw Trey Ball (New Castle, Ind.), who struck out three over three scoreless frames, also yielding just one hit. The Texas recruit figures to add velocity to his 87-89 mph frame as he fills out, and he already has excellent feel for his 82-83 changeup with good bottom. He also flashed a promising curveball in the 75-77 range. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/2012/08/area-code-games-notebook-day-two/

Flame-throwing southpaw Sean Manaea (Indiana State) of Hyannis accomplished a rare clean sweep by winning two of the most coveted postseason honors in the Cape Cod Baseball League.  The 6’5”, 215-pounder captured both the B.F.C. Whitehouse Top Pitcher Award and Robert A. McNeece Outstanding Pro Prospect Award after posting a 5-1 record with a 1.22 ERA and a league-leading 85 strikeouts for the Harbor Hawks. http://v2.capecodbaseball.org/news/season/index.html?article_id=1445

Dalton Dulin, the starting second baseman for the Washington Nationals, was the key sparkplug in a 12-3 win over the New York Yankees in the first of the three games Monday. Dulin had three singles in four at-bats, recorded three steals, drove in a run and scored twice. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/2225/zinger-offensive-player-of-the-day-aug-6

1B Clint Freeman, East Tennessee State -- Freeman had a big-time spring campaign with a batting average over .350, seven homers and 50 RBIs. He also excelled this summer, leading the Alaska League in hitting with a .379 average, 14 doubles, three homers and 24 RBIs. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=7516

Aaron Fitt – rough 1^st for Chris Oakley: gave up 4 runs. 88-91, 80-81 change, 73-75 curve...

Kendall Rogers‏ - Wake Forest commit. @TGold_PG: 2013 3B Dylan Manwaring doesn't have huge tools, but they're all solid. V good ballplayer

David Rawnsley‏ -  RHP Michael Kopech (Mt. Pleasant, TX), one of top 2014 arms, pumping 91-92 with 75 CB for the Rangers, very projectable. 

Todd Gold - ‏ -  2013 LHPs Trey Ball (IN) & AJ Puk (IA) can both swing it like position players. Legit D1 hitters… OleMiss recruit Dalton Dulin plays with an awful lot of energy, and he can hit. Ripped a 2-run single to center field in 2nd, stole 2nd…
