3-18 from: - pnrscouting - TCU sent righty Kyle Winkler (2011) (pictured) to the mound for the final game of the weekend, and the sophomore showed the quality stuff that could land him somewhere in Day 1 next June. His fastball was 90-93 mph, adding a mid-70s downer curve and low-90s change-up. Winkler's command was spotty throughout the evening, leaving lots up and out of the zone, and he ended-up allowing more walks than hits (5:4) in his 6.1 innings of work. He throws with some effort, but his timing is pretty consistent and he generally lands clean and stays true to home. His curve is a hard downer that flashes excellent late bite, which helps to make up for the average depth I saw, and makes it difficult to square when it's on. Jos change-up is solid with some drop and could be an average pitch as he continues to improve his command. Winkler's focus over the next fifteen months or so will likely be continued improvement and consistency with his secondaries and better command across the board. The raw stuff is there for him to be an early round selection in 2011, and a mid-rotation starter down the line.
3-18 from: - http://pnrscouting.com/articles_2010_houstoncollegeclassic_day2_03102010.html - Rice's Boogie Anagnostou (2010) utilized an average three-pitch mix well to keep the hot TCU bats generally at bay, finishing with a line of 7 IP, 8 H, 1 ER, 2 BB and 4 SO. His fastball is an upper-80s offering, touching 90 mph, but he threw to his spots and benefitted from two secondaries that give him three way action on his repertoire (the ball comes out of the same slot and has the poteential to run in on righties with the fastball, drop with the change, and break away with the slider). Both the change and the slider can be average pro pitches and perhaps a tick above with continued work. He showed good mound presence and was confident with his breaking ball, back-dooring and burying under the hands of lefty hitters. His stuff isn't eye popping, and he'll need to prove himself at every level as a pro to stick as a starter. He could also provide some value out of the pen, as well.
Update on Alex Jones RHP at Jacksonville State University through 3/19/10: - 1.23 ERA, 14.2 innings pitched, 0 wins, 1 loss, 3 saves, 14 BB, 22 strike outs. Most of his BB were early in the season. His control seems to be getting better. Pitched to 7 batters in 8th and 9th inning against Samford last Tuesday. Had 4 strike outs, 2 ground outs, one error on a ground ball to 3rd base to put one on and no walks. Leading his team in strikeouts and ERA.
3-20 from http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100318&content_id=8828004&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb - Brentz has proven he's not a one-year wonder. After his outstanding sophomore campaign, he was invited to join Team USA. Playing alongside players from "bigger" conferences, Brentz was hardly in awe, hitting .366 with a .563 slugging percentage in 71 at-bats. It was a summer that filled him with even more confidence. Brentz has continued to turn around pitches of all sorts with regularity. After a slightly slow start to the 2010 season, Brentz was up to a .382 average with seven homers, 15 RBIs and a .750 SLG through 16 games. That might sound like it pales in comparison to his ridiculous 2009 season, but at this point last year, he was at about the same rate, if not lower, across the board.
