1-9-10 from http://www.jjscouting.com/ : - Jack Armstrong Jr.: Gray's teammate at Vanderbilt, Armstrong didn't pitch much this past spring, only 7 2/3 innings, but did record 8 strikeouts. Then this past summer, as a member of the Wareham Gatemen of the CCBL, Jack went 4-1 wit ha 2.57 ERA, averaging almost a strikeout an inning and only walking 18 in 35 innings pitched. While filling out his 6'6 frame since high school, now up to 226lbs, Armstrong has seen his velocity jump, now sitting consistantly in the low 90's and found himself pitching in Fenway, as a member of the Cape Cod All Star team. Look for Armstrong to get more innings this year and for him to prove himself as a top of the line prospect.
2-11 from http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/ - While Cole possesses the best pure arm in the nation in any class, Vanderbilt sophomore teammates Sonny Gray and Jack Armstrong, also teammates on the 2007 Aflac All-American team, offer a more intimidating one-two punch. Stature isn’t a problem for the 6-foot-6, 225-pound Armstrong, whose stuff began to catch up with his size last summer on the Cape. Armstrong impresses me the most in that his command is what caught my attention the most the first time I was able to see him pitch, and at that point in time he topped out in the upper-80s. Now throwing in the mid-to-upper 90s, he looks to carry his success from the Cape to his sophomore campaign, and if that success continues he could push his name into the discussion for the first overall pick in 2011.
6-11-10 from: - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wait-til-next-year-draft-11-preview-pitchers - Baseball America ranked Jack Armstrong (4.88 FIP) as the best from his draft class in the Cape Cod League last year, but he failed to build on the momentum this spring. He’s got great size and a really good fastball, but the rest of his game needs harnessing …
