2011 DRAFT: - Harold Martinez, Kyle Winkler, John Hochstatter, Sean Gilmartin... and Scott Hoffman

Harold Martinez:



7-18 from: - link  - Martinez is a guy that is still learning the strike zone. His swing can get a little long, and while he has plus power, he honestly doesn’t project to be more than an average hitter at the Major League level. I like his athleticism at third, and he could be an above-average defender there with continuous reps. His arm is also an above-average tool. His big struggle is going to be pro secondary stuff, and he needs to prove a lot between now and next June. He’s in my top 50 because of his pure talent, but he needs to improve.





Kyle Winkler:


7-15 from: - link  - The sophomore pitching trio of Sonny Gray (Vanderbilt), Kyle Winkler (Texas Christian) and Noe Ramirez (Cal State Fullerton) struck out 13 batters and combined to toss a no-hitter in the Collegiate National Teams 3-0 win Wednesday night over Korea. Winkler relieved Gray in the seventh retiring six of the seven batters he faced.








John Hochstatter:


7-13-10 from: - link  - The USA Baseball 18U National Team beat the Minnesota Class A All-Stars 5-4 Tuesday night at Veterans Field.. John Hochstatter (Danville, Calif.) tossed 2 1/3 innings allowing two runs, one earned, on two hits.

Sean Gilmartin:


7-14-10: from: - link  - Sean Gilmartin (Florida State) fanned five as Team USA picked up its first win of the summer, 8-3, Tuesday night over the Fayetteville Swampdogs of the Coastal Plain League. Gilmartin (1-0) went five innings in the start allowing two runs (both unearned) with one walk to secure his first win of the summer tour.






Scott Hoffman:


7-13-10: - MaxPreps Junior All-American Baseball Team – LHP Scott Hoffman, Desert Ridge (Mesa, Ariz.), Pitcher - The state player of the year by both the Arizona Republic and the East Valley Tribune, Hoffman batted .457 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI and was 13-0 with a 2.01 ERA and 76 strikeouts for the state champs.
