Henry Owens:



7-15-10 from: - link  – top ten high scholl LHPs: - 2. Henry Owens- Edison HS


7-17 from: - link  - The USA Baseball 18U National Team over the Canadian National Team 7-2 Friday night at Midway Stadium. Henry Owens (Huntington Beach, Calif.) earned the win improving Team USA to 10-0 overall in exhibition play. Owens (3-0), who got off to an eventful start on short rest, dazzled allowing one run on one hit with nine strikeouts in three innings of work. Owens settled in after the eventful first to stymie the Canadian hitters. The towering left-hander recorded all of his nine outs via the strikeout, catching three batters looking at a called third strike and six swinging at strike three.

Zach Davies:


7-13-10: - MaxPreps Junior All-American Baseball Team – RHP - Zach Davies, Mesquite (Gilbert, Ariz.), Pitcher - An all-state pick by the Arizona Republic and an all-area selection by the East Valley Tribune, Davies was 9-1 with 1.58 ERA for Mesquite. He had 84 strikeouts in 75.1 innings pitched and also batted .318 with 26 RBI, 10 doubles and 6 home runs.

Scott McGough:


7-16-10 from: - link  - Scott McGough (Oregon) struck out nine batters in five innings of work as the Collegiate National Team took game two of the five-game international friendly series against Korea, 8-1 Thursday night. McGough and Team USA’s pitching staff held Korea to just two hits while striking out 13 total batters.

Larry Greene:


7-18 from: - link  - All about his bat. Thick lower half, plus raw power and high-level hit tool, as well. I see him in a corner spot long-term, and he could be one of the better all-around bats in this class. He’s not polished or anything yet, but he’s one of the best bats in this class.

Desmond Henry:


7-18 from: - link  - Desmond Henry, OF, Centennial HS, Compton, Calif. - Henry is shockingly fast—around 6.4 to 6.5 in the 60—and has an arm that is adequate for CF or LF. Henry is the prototypical speedy outfielder that minor league player development types attempt to make a switch hitter. For now, Henry will stick to batting righthanded. If he develops more strength in his hands, wrists and forearms, Henry could become a decent righthanded hitter, given his recently improved hitting mechanics.
