3-13 from http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2025#more-2025 - Righthanded pitcher Taijuan Walker of Yucaipa (Calif.) High, one of the best athletes in the 2010 prep draft class, made his first start of the season on the afternoon of March 9. On Tuesday afternoon, the PV ballpark felt more like Candlestick Park. The 50 scouts on hand were blasted by a cold and harsh wind that rattled teeth, nerves and the wooden bleachers. Walker was as chilly as the breeze. Battling control and mechanical problems, he departed in the third inning in a game won by PV, 15-4. Despite his struggles, Walker’s raw stuff was excellent. His fastball ranged from 89-91 mph, peaking at 92. Walker has touched 93-94 in showcase events. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound righty adds a 76 mph curve and an 82 mph slider.
Matt Roberts:
3-12 from http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=2201 - MATT ROBERTS, c, SR, Graham HS. Roberts is on the short list of the best defensive catchers in the country. While he struggled some at the plate on Saturday, he showed the elite defensive skills that should make him one of the most-sought prospects in the draft, though he has a scholarship offer from North Carolina as leverage.
Addison Reed –
3-13 from http://myworldofbaseball.com/wordpress/?m=201003 - In his opening start against Oklahoma, Reed was not effective, giving up four runs in just four plus innings. And while he struck out six, he also walked four to take the loss. The Aztecs saved Reed to pitch their opener against crosstown rival University of San Diego and Reed was dominant. He threw nine innings, struck out 11 and only gave up two runs on four hits. He won his second straight start against Kentucky, going six innings and giving up two runs. It wasn’t a stellar effort, but it was a victory. On Thursday, Reed won his third game, retiring the first 15 hitters he faced and giving up only one hit in his seven innings of work against UAB. Addison Reed left after the seventh inning with an 8-0 lead, but UAB almost pulled it out falling just short 8-7 in the Aztecs opening round game in their invitational. Reed is now 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA, limiting the opposition to a .167 average and striking out 30 hitters in 26 plus innings.
Mario Hollands:
3-13 from: http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/03/13/foleys-friday-thoughts: - There was also two more great pitching lines on Friday evening with Gerrit Cole dominating Texas AM Corpus-Christi and Mario Hollands beating Northern Illinois . Hollands pitched a complete game against Northern Illinois allowing a ninth inning run to break up the shutout. He ended up striking out 16 Huskies to tie Barry Zito’s school record for strikeouts.
