3-11 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com/ - Pepperdine's Cole Cook had a successful outing recently against the #2 team in the country, LSU. Although Cook took the loss, dropping his record to 0-2 on the season, and yielded three earned runs, he still threw effectively. Cook's line was very respectable 7IP, 7H, 1BB, 3ER and 9K - especially against one of the top teams in the country. Cole has been known to struggle maintaining his velocity late into games, but his last pitch was a 92 mph fastball, not much of a dip from where he threw all day. His fastest pitch was recorded at 94. "Better, I'd say, and maybe that's a matter of how early in the season it was for him," an NL club's area scout said. "He was aggressive," the scout said. "This was a nice test and he didn't back down. I had him in the low-90s for much of the game, and by my count his last fastball there (in the seventh inning) was 92. But the key for him was the split, it was very effective. And he was much better at avoid the middle of the plate, and for the most part kept the ball in the lower half of the zone."
3-10-10 from link - KOLBRIN VITEK, 2b-rhp, Ball State - SCOUTING REPORT/Great Lakes League: Vitek (.400-6-38) won the triple crown in the Great Lakes League this summer and was also tops in hits (54), total bases (100) and doubles (16). It was not an altogether surprising offensive performance for Vitek, considering he hit .389-13-67 as a Ball State sophomore, leading the team in homers and RBIs. He also paced the Mid-American Conference and tied a single-season school mark for doubles with 25. He displayed excellent bat speed through the hitting zone with occasional loft power to all fields, along with good plate discipline. Some of the league’s veteran coaches said he was the most dominating righthanded hitter to play in the league in a number of years. Vitek put almost all of his focus this summer on hitting and actually spent most of the GLL season out of position at second base. Normally a pitcher and third baseman at Ball State, Vitek arrived with a fatigued shoulder after going 4-3, 5.65 in 57 innings as a weekend starter for the Cardinals, and it was determined he would spend the summer at second to rest his arm. He still managed to work three innings for Lake Erie. The versatile Vitek made only five errors at his interim position and displayed acceptable range and hands, but it was generally agreed that his superior arm strength was wasted at the position and better suited for the hot corner. Vitek has been clocked up to 92-93 mph off the mound. In addition to his superior hitting skills, Vitek has impressive foot speed and was clocked in 6.6 seconds in the 60 at the league’s all-star game. He stole 10 bases and showed advanced base-stealing skills.
3-10 from XMLBScout/perfectgame.com : - Also got glimpse of Florida St & Florida over the weekend and didn't see anyone that I would classify as top 3-4 rounds off those two clubs. I did not get to see Jon Gast. I did get to see Justin Grimm, RHP for U of Georgia vs FSU, he showed plus velocity but very straight hittable fastball 91-93, topped 94-95 a few times, breaking ball was flat, hit lots of bats in his few innings

3-10-10 from http://baseballdraftreport.com/: - JR RHP Max Friedman (Wright State) did all he could to slow down Virginia’s offensive attack. His good sinking fastball (88-93 MPH) and good 1-2 secondary punch (good changeup, average slider) kept the Cavaliers’ bats at bay: 5 IP 8 H 3 ER 2 BB 1 K
3-10-10 from link - Power Rankings – Behind the plate, TCU veteran Bryan Holaday continues to do an amazing job both behind the plate and at the plate and climbed to the top spot this week.

The new entrants include Wichita State’s Cody Lassley and Georgia Tech’s Cole Leonida.
