3/8 from: http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - SO RHP Gerrit Cole (UCLA) and SO RHP Trevor Bauer (UCLA) were both awesome this weekend against Nebraska. How awesome? So glad you asked. Cole put up the following line: 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 0 BB 9 K; Bauer’s numbers looked more like this: 6.2 IP 6 H 1 ER 2 BB 10 K. Just like last week, however, I’m as excited about a little thing that occurred in Cole’s start than I am about the entirety of his performance. Well, that may actually be a stretch, but I was impressed by his fourth inning showing all the same:
3-9 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - JR LHP Rob Rasmussen (2010) isn’t part of UCLA’s great sophomore class of arms, but he is a potential top three round 2010 talent. The short lefty is the opposite of so many college lefthanders, as Rasmussen already has the fastball, but needs a legitimate secondary offering to emerge before he can reach his full upside. His Saturday line: 5 IP 3 H 0 ER 4 BB 10 K
3-10 from http://www.baseballamerica.com/ : - Louisiana State righthander Anthony Ranaudo—the top-rated college pitcher in the 2010 draft class entering the season—will miss a third start this upcoming weekend due to a stress reaction in his throwing elbow. Ranaudo threw five innings in the season's first weekend but hasn't pitched since then, and took the ball Monday for the first time in two weeks in a side session. LSU coach Paul Mainieri said in a press release Monday that the defending national champions were extending Ranaudo's "recuperative period" by a week after initially believing he could return for an upcoming series against Kansas. Now his earliest return would appear to be the Southeastern Conference opening series against Arkansas.
3-10 from: - link - - 1. Andy Wilkins, 1B (9/13/88) - - Wilkins first caught my eye in during infield drills. I was really impressed with his athleticism and agility at first base. He was smooth with soft hands and he demonstrated exceptional leaping ability. I wasn't impressed with his arm; it's only fringe-average. While first basemen are near the bottom of the defensive spectrum, Wilkins could be a plus defender at the position. With elite bat speed, a patient approach and the ability to manage the strike zone -- didn't chase pitches when I saw him -- Wilkins could be in line for a monster year. He walked almost as much as he struck out last year (16.3% BB, 17.4% K) and is off to a great start in 2010 (11 BB vs. 5 K over 53 PA). Wilkins' power numbers have been ridiculous so far. He's on pace to top 30 home runs, a total that no NCAA hitter has reached over the last three years.
3-9 from: - http://baseballdraftreport.com/ - JR RHP Alex Wimmers (Ohio State) was unimpressive against St. Louis, although it seemed that any prospect performance would pale in comparison to the description of the weather from the box score. The weather was “Blue skies, breezy & beautiful.” That just sounds lovely, doesn’t it? His line: 5 IP 12 H 5 ER 3 BB 8 K
