Also has a promising slider and curveball. Rather raw and has played a lot of basketball and football, which has understandably slowed his development as a baseball player to some extent, though he's made good progress this spring. Listed at 6-4 180, he has a football scholarship to Baylor and could be a difficult sign outside of the first two rounds. I expect him to go in the supplemental round: the Angels at 40, the Tigers at 44, or the Rangers at 45 seem like good fits.
4-18 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/18/big-12-recap-april-17th/#more-25460 - Junior right-hander Cole Green weaved a complete-game, one-hit shutout and Longhorns’ batters pounded out a season-high 18 hits as No. 4 Texas registered a 14-0 rout over the Texas A&M Aggies at Olsen Field on Saturday afternoon. The 14-run win was the Longhorns largest margin of victory since an 18-3 win on May 15, 1939. Green was masterful in pitching his fourth career complete game and second career shutout. He scattered one hit and three walks while striking out four over 9.0 innings. It marked the first time the Horns had blanked the Aggies since a 3-0 win on May 17, 2003.
4-19 from: - http://baseballbeginnings.com/category/2010-draft - Peter Tago pitches at 94-95 when he’s on, unlocking smooth and explosive mechanics from a loose arm that has allowed him to hit 97. His curveball projects as another weapon, 76-79, with the potential for future power. There’s a slider here, 73-74, with late sweeping action, as well as a change-up he hasn’t thrown very much this spring. Put it all together and this is a potential four-pitch major league right-handed starter with stamina, durability, command and control.
4-19 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/04/19/big-ten-players-of-the-week-10 - Big Ten Players of the Week - Josh Lyon, Indiana, Jr., DH, Indianapolis, Ind./Heritage Christian - Lyon becomes the third different Hoosier this season to be named Big Ten Player of the Week, leading Indiana to a series victory against Iowa. The junior hit .700 and slugged 1.400 in the series, also scoring five runs and driving in three. In Sunday’s series finale, Lyon had a career day, going 4-for-4 with three doubles, three runs scored and an RBI. The junior also went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a mid-week game against Valparaiso on Tuesday. With a home run in the series-opener against Iowa on Friday, Lyon recorded homers in three consecutive games, upping his total to seven, which is tied for fourth in the Big Ten. The designated hitter leads the conference with a 1.000 slugging percentage during Big Ten games and is second with a .577 average. The weekly accolade is the first of Lyon’s career.

Konner Wade 6'3 185 RHP of Chaparral faced off vs. Taylor Lindsey at Desert Mountain. More or less the two top HS players in the state. Wade sat at 90-91 for most of the game. 89-90 after 4th inning. FB has very good run on it, and he places it where he wants. Coach called a lot of off speed pitches. Clean mechanics and extremely effortless, change has chance to be plus plus. Threw a few in the 80-82 range that were ML ready. Most of time was at 77-79. Slider was inconsistent but has chance to be above average pitch. Overall a lot better than I expected. Scouts seem to like the kid and with about 15 on hand, ML interest is growing for him. I see wade as a 2nd-3rd round guy.
