Draft 14 – J.D. Davis, Michael Conforto, Gunnar Troutwine, Monte Harrison, Luke Bonefield



2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise - J.D. Davis, OF, Cal State Fullerton (43)  Known for his plus power, the 6’-3”, 215 pound right-hander showed he should be one of the best overall bats available in the 2014 MLB draft come June. On Saturday, he went 4-for-6 with two triples and a home run, showing off some wheels in the process. Overall, he is 5-for-13 with four extra-base hits in three games. He drew 31 walks to just 37 strikeouts as a sophomore and has an advanced approach at the plate. He also has a canon arm and is playing right field this year for the Titans. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ. 99

3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock – 20   Michael Conforto             OF/1B   Oregon State     - I’m still not entirely sold on Conforto as a first-round prospect, but to say that I’m in the minority is an understatement. His floor is high, and his approach at his plate is among the best in the sport, but the lack of tools concerns me. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/

2-18-14 - For most high school baseball players, becoming a major league player is only a dream. Senior Gunnar Troutwine could come one step closer to making that dream a reality on June 5, when professional teams begin selecting from top baseball prospects coming out of high school and college in the 2014 MLB draft. Currently, Troutwine is committed to play Division I baseball for the Wichita State University Shockers next fall. Like many high school recruits, the decision to go pro or attend college will not be certain until the draft. Troutwine is listed at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds.  He recently ran a 60-yard dash in 6.68 seconds, rare at the catcher position. http://smeharbinger.net/sports/senior-up-for-mlb-draft

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 50. Milwaukee Brewers — Monte’ Harrison, OF, Lee’s Summit HS (MO) - A two-sport star, the 6’-2”, 200 pound right-hander may be a tough sign as he is one of the top wide receivers in the country and has a scholarship to play at Nebraska. On the diamond, he has plus speed (6.65/60), a plus arm (97 mph from the outfield) and has developed into a solid hitter, and his size suggests more power will come. Over 83 at-bats as a junior, he hit .457 with 12 doubles, three triples and six home runs. One of the more exciting players available with a ton of upside but football may get in the way. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99


2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Hitter For Average: Luke Bonfield, Sr. IMG Academy - There are a few categories among the top tools that were extremely close, with this being one of them. Jeremy Vasquez is very advanced with the bat, as is Bonfield, who started his hot hitting at the National Showcase last June and didn’t stop all summer. Bonfield set the tone for what he would do the rest of the summer in one of his first at-bats in Minnesota, barreling up a mid-80s slider from PG All-American righthander Luis Ortiz. He consistently squares up top pitching, showing gap power with more on its way. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372

Draft 14 – Brandon Finnegan, Bryce Carter, J.D. Davis, D.J. Peters



2-1-14 - Brandon Finnegan - Texas Christian University  - Standing under 6', listed at 5'11", 190 LBS, Finnegan wouldn't be as big of a prospect as a righty but he is blessed to be throwing from the left side. He is mature physically and likely won't add any velocity. He has a solid delivery with a ¾ arm slot and long arm action in back but he repeats it fairly well. His fastball sits 90-95 but I have seen it up to 101 on a TV gun, which I'm sure was a little hot. I've heard reports up to 98. His command has improved since he was a freshman as has his stamina and ability to hold his velocity deeper into games. As a freshman, I thought I was watching a future closer. As a sophomore, he looked like there was a good chance to start and I think that remains. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/2/1/5365036/2014-mlb-draft-profile-brandon-finnegan-lhp-texas-christian-university

1-27-14 – BP - Positional Preview: High School Catchers - Bryce Carter | C/OF/1B | Cascia Hall Prep (Tulsa, OK) | Commit: Stanford  Height/Weight: 6-foot-1/195 pounds  B/T: L/R  Draft Day Age: 18y 9m  Carter kicked off the summer with an impressive showing for the Vegas Gold squad at PG Nationals, making consistent loud contact including a hard home run over the Metrodome’s right field wall. He continued to show a good feel for the barrel throughout the summer and fall, and in particular at the Area Code Games in August. He brings to the plate a simple load, good leverage, and natural loft, producing easy power both oppo and pull. His well below-average straight-line speed makes first base the likely defensive fallback, but there’s enough to work with for him to get every opportunity to stick as a backstop. He currently profiles as a potential early round target. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=22662

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 53. Los Angeles Angels — J.D. Davis, 1B/3B, Cal State Fullerton - The 6’-3”, 215 pound right-hander has plus power to all fields and a solid approach at the plate. Over 60 games as a sophomore, he hit .318/.407/.436 with 31 walks to 37 strikeouts. He also has a plus arm and can touch 94 mph on the mound as a reliever. He doesn’t offer any speed but could handle the hot corner due to his arm and footwork. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99

Draft 14 – Jeff Hoffman, Tucker Baca, Dalton Guthrie, J.D. Davis, Bryce Montes De Oca



11-4-13 – MLB Draft Insider - Top 14 for ’14: College Pitchers - 2. Jeff Hoffman / RHP / East Carolina – He doesn’t have Rodon’s track record, but Hoffman was as good — if not better — than any collegiate pitcher this summer, occasionally hitting 97 on the gun with a plus-plus curve and a change that also flashed plus. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2013/11/top-14-for-14-college-pitchers/


11-2-13 – Jim Callis – Tucker Baca dominated the Dallas Patriots, working four shutout innings in a 9-1 win. He’s a 6-foot-3, 195-pound lefty who throws from a low arm slot, so of course he draws Chris Sale comparisons. Baca threw 91-93 mph early in the game, harder than usual and without sacrificing any of the tremendous life he generates with his fastball. He averaged 88-90 mph over the course of his outing. The Arizona State recruit also destroyed lefthanders with his slider, which averaged 72-74 mph and peaked at 78. He used just three changeups, though some evaluators believe that’s consistently his best pitch. All told, he threw 45 of his 68 pitches for strikes while allowing just one hit and two walks and fanning seven. http://ht.ly/qg5La


10-30-13 - Clint Longenecker/BA – WWBA World Championship - The Florida Burn, made up exclusively of players from the Sunshine State, had a strong balance of run scoring and run prevention to advance to the championship game.  Shortstop Dalton Guthrie, who also attends Venice and is committed to Florida, compiled a .333/.381/.333 line and Lee, a High Point commit, had a strong showing, with a .375/.429/.500 line. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/evoshield-canes-win-perfect-game-wwba-world-championship/


10-15-13 – Baseball America - 36. J.D. Davis, 1b/3b/rhp, Cal State Fullerton: Unsigned Rays fifth-rounder out of high school in 2011 offers power on the mound and at the plate. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-draft-top-50-october-2013-carlos-rodon/

Draft 14 J.D. Davis, Zach Shannon, Willie Rios, Nick Budi, Tyler Beede

draft - j d davis10-14-13 – Top ’14 College Hitters - 6. J.D. Davis / 1B-3B / Cal-State Fullerton — Davis doesn’t have the ‘fame’ of some of the names on this list, but a solid summer made him one of the first names brought up by scouts when asked about the Cape Cod season.  Davis has above-average power to all parts of the field, with a good approach and enough bat speed to hit for power and average. A lack of athleticism likely keeps him at first base, but a team could try to stick him at the hot corner where he’s got plenty of arm strength and decent hands. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2013/10/top-14-for-14-college-hitters/


9-30-13 – TTF Mock 2.0 - 24. Cleveland Indians — Zach Shannon, 3B/RHP, Moeller HS (OH)  A two-way prospect who may have more upside as a hitter, the 6’-3”, 220-pound right-hander has a canon arm (95 mph) and his power bat would play well at the hot corner. He has shown the ability to hit to all fields and has good bat speed. On the mound, he also has an upper-70s curveball that shows plus potential to go along with his plus fastball that hit 95 mph at the PG Classic. He hails from the same school that produced Ken Griffey Jr., Batty Larkin and Buddy Bell. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-mock-draft-2-0-draft-order-set/38280#5E3F5j1jWOgE69bJ.99

9-11-13 - Sully’s 2014 Top 100 MLB HS Draft Prospects – 34.Willie Rios – LHP, St. Bernard (CT) HS http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/sullys-2014-top-100-mlb-hs-draft-prospects/

9-29-13 – XMLBScout – 9.)RHP, Nick Burdi, Louisville, 6'4 220, R/R, one of my favorite pitchers in the TOS event a couple years back, this guy has an electric arm and is destined to finish games as a closer if he can command his secondary pitches, right now he possesses a fb that reaches 98, most fb with boring/sinking life are 94-95 and he hardly gets touched as he's deceptive with his slight across the body delivery from 3/4 slot. Slide piece can be a plus pitch when he has it all together and he's got a straight change that he needs to use more. Top 8-10 pick for 2014! http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/

10-15-13 – Baseball America - 7. Tyler Beede, rhp, Vanderbilt: Unsigned 2011 first-round pick has three above-average or better pitches, but command has become an issue for him. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2014-draft-top-50-october-2013-carlos-rodon/
