2015 Draft Profile - RHP - Nolan Kingham - Sierra Vista (NV) HS



5-20-14  -  Nolan Kingham, RHP, Sierra Vista HS (NV) - With a classic three-pitch mix, great size and athleticism, Kingham has everything you want in a future frontline starter. The 6’-4”, 185 pound right-hander has a fresh arm as he was a shortstop his freshman year, and he has touched 93 mph with his fastball and sits 87-90 mph. He adds a 79-82 mph change-up with good feel and a 73-75 mph tight, 11-5 curveball. Considering how fast he has progressed already, there is a ton of upside and he also has the bloodlines thing going for him as his brother is Pittsburgh Pirates farmhand, Nick Kingham. Committed to Texas. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-25-players/42946#KfGGhgC2ZcQbdBfh.99

PG  -  Nolan Kingham is a 2015 SS/RHP with a 6-4 175 lb. frame from Las Vegas, NV who attends Sierra Vista HS. Long and loose build, has gained notable strength and coordination in the past few months. Primary shortstop but future clearly on the mound. Short stride delivery with 3/4's arm slot, loose and fast arm, low effort. Fastball topped out at 92 mph with lots of run and sinking action, hard spinning curveball with big depth and hard biting action, very nice change up with plus potential. Has all the ingredients you want to see in a developing first round type pitcher. Right handed hitter, very spread bent knee stance, shifts in well, aggressive swing with pull line drive contact, has some present bat speed and some power projection. Third base profile defensively, shows his arm strength from an over the top release. Brother Nolan is a top pitching prospect with the Pirates organization. Named the top prospect at the event. Good student.

Draft 15 – Kyle Molnar, Isiah Gilliam, Nolan Kingham, Brendan Rodgers,Wesley Rodriguez



11-2-13 - Perfect Game USA ‏@PerfectGameUSA  - 2015 Kyle Molnar (CA) with top OF velo at CA underclass throwing 92 mph! 2016 Holden Groff (CA) looked very good and threw 90 mph from OF!


10-28-13 – Jim Callis - Another 2015 prospect, right fielder Isiah Gilliam (Parkview High, Lilburn, Ga.), provided the key hit of the game when he tripled off an 88-mph Blewett fastball to plate the tying run in the bottom of the fourth. A 6-foot-2, 210-pound switch-hitter, he may wind up at first base in pro ball but does have arm strength to go with his enticing power. http://ht.ly/qeYJz

10-29-13 - Jeff Sullivan ‏@JSully12  -  I don't know if there is a better HS baseball player in the country than 2015 SS Brendan Rodgers.


10-27-13 – PG Showcase Jupiter - Wesley Rodriguez (George Washington HS, Bronx, N.Y.) Rodriguez, meanwhile, handled the bottomless GBG Marucci lineup, striking out five in three innings to overcome some tough defense behind him. His fastball featured heavy run from a three-quarter slot, ranging between 85-90 and topping out at 92 in the first. He also showed the ability to spin a 74-75 breaking ball that was current average with a good chance for more. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/projectable-righties-rule-as-playoff-push-begins-in-jupiter/

Draft 15 – Garrett Hutson, Nolan Kingham, Tyler Mautner, Kyle Robeniol, Troy Conyers

draft - garrett hudson 29-21-13 - The scouting star of the day on my fields was Midwest Warducks 2015 righthanded pitcher and shortstop Garrett Hutson. Hutson played shortstop the first five innings and wasn’t scheduled to pitch, but with the Warducks clinging to a 6-4 lead and runners on base in the sixth inning, Hutson was summoned to the mound to get the save, which he did with two groundouts in the sixth and by striking out the side in the seventh. Hutson is ranked 37th in the 2015 class by Perfect Game and we’ve heard very credible reports of him being up to 94 mph this summer. He was 89-91 with pin-point command in this outing to go with a big breaking low-70s curveball and it’s easy to see him throwing harder after not playing in the field in 100-plus degree heat http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9017

 

9-9-13 – BA Top 2015 HS Prospects – Nolan Kingham RHP SS 6-4 175 R R Sierra Vista Las Vegas NV   Ohio Warhawks  -  Easy low 90's FB w/ life. Good CB and CH. Everything you look for in young pitching prospect

 

9-9-13 – Top 10 Far West League Prospects - 6. Tyler Mautner, 3b, Top Speed (R-So., Buffalo) - Mautner won the league’s triple crown and player of the year accolades after hitting .390 with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs this summer. The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder barreled up any type of pitch and hit with power to all fields. Mautner has an effortless swing from the right side with quick hands through the zone. At the hot corner, he has a plus arm but might not have the lateral instincts required to react to balls to either side of him. He has below-average speed but should be able to handle left field if he winds up having to move there, as some evaluators think he will. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/far-west-league-top-10-prospects/

9-1-13  - Todd Gold ‏@TGold_PG  -  2015 LHP Kyle Robeniol (Alta Lima, CA) was painting with his mid 80s FB today, pitched @CBABaseball1 into @PGSuper25 #SoCalQualifier champ

9-23-13 - Troy Conyers - LHP, Danville Dans (San Diego/SO in 2014) - Conyers was a dominant, two-way high school player in suburban San Diego for four years, and earned acclaim as the California prep player of the year as a senior by going 9-2, 1.07 with 131 strikeouts in 82 innings, while also stinging the ball at a .394-5-26 clip. Despite those credentials, Conyers was passed over in the 2012 draft and was also forced to wait his turn, for the most part, as a freshman at USD by working primarily in a set-up role. In 17 appearances, he went 3-2, 5.70. His first real opportunity to showcase his talent beyond the high school level came this summer in eight starts for Danville, where he passed with flying colors by posting a 5-1, 1.53 record with 18 walks and 60 strikeouts in 41 innings on his way to earning a nod as the league’s all-star lefthander and No. 1 prospect. He also managed to get in 22 at-bats, and hit .273-0-5. For a young lefthander with a strong, physically-mature 6-foot-5, 230-pound build, Conyers was ahead of the game with his ability to throw three pitches for strikes in almost any count, including a fastball at 89-91 mph. By adding strength to his big, physical frame, Conyers should only throw harder in time. For now, his most advanced pitch is probably his changeup because of his ability to throw it with the same arm speed and from the same arm slot as his fastball. His slider is his best breaking ball. Conyers gives the impression of airing out his stuff, but is also construed as being sneaky quick because of the deception he creates in his delivery. He hides the ball well and opens up late, making it difficult to pick up his pitches, especially for lefthanded hitters. But possibly the quality that stands out most about Conyers is his mature mound presence. He has an advanced feel for setting up hitters and adjusting to various sequences late in games. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9029

Draft 15 – Garrett Davila, Nick Shumpert, Nolan Kingham, Sean Buckhaut, Dazmon Cameron

draft - garrett davilla

8-20-13 – Rawlings - 2015 Top Prospects -     Garrett Davila - LHP - 2015 - Belmont, NC -  Projectable lefty reached 87 mph and flashed a sharp 11-5 curveball. Big upside and a pitcher to watch very closely. http://www.perfectgame.org/events/Showcases/TopProspectList.aspx?event=1380

 

8-10-13 - Todd Gold ‏@TGold_PG  - 2015 MIF Nick Shumpert (Lone Tree, CO) continues impressive week at #ACGames with ground rule 2B (HR most yards) then stole 3B

 

8-15-13 - RHP Nolan Kingham (Sierra Vista HS, Las Vegas, NV): The 6-4/175 Kingham is listed as a primary shortstop but his future is clearly on the mound, potentially as a first rounder in 2015. He pitched at 88-92 with a hard spinning curveball and is extremely projectable. His older brother, Nick, is a top prospect right-hander for the Pirates and is pitching in AA as a 21-year old. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=8893

 

8-23-13 - Perfect Game USA ‏@PerfectGameUSA  - 2015 Sean Buckhaut (NY) looked good in the catcher workout at NE Underclass showcase popping a 1.84 and throwing 78 mph behind the dish!

 

8-24-13 - Most of the top high school hitters in the 2014 draft class are on hand for the Under Armour All-America Game, powered by Baseball Factory. Friday’s workout at the University of Illinois-Chicago’s Miller Field featured batting practice, infield and outfield and a home run derby, winnowing the field for Saturday’s derby prior to the game at Wrigley Field. Friday’s most intriguing performer was outfielder Dazmon Cameron (2015),  the rising junior who is the son of ex-big league outfielder Mike Cameron. The oldest of Cameron’s four children, Daz showed fast hands and plenty of bat speed. He had the best rounds of batting practice on the afternoon. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/under-armour-all-star-game-notebook/
