8-17-10 from: - link - Archie Bradley, RHP: No one can make the claim that the 2011 prep class is lacking in front-of-the-rotation-type arms. In Bradley, and a few other arms on display at Aflac, it appears that next year's draft will have no shortage of exciting young hurlers. In a tight race with Michael Kelly, Bradley was likely the most impressive arm on Sunday, and that's saying something considering the depth of the event. He worked consistently at 93-96 mph and did it effortlessly. Bradley has an excellent frame, a good feel for his mechanics and also the potential for a plus downer breaking ball, which he threw at 80-81 mph.
Dylan Bundy:
http://diamondscapescouting.com/articles_aflacallamerican2010_10playerstowatch_08152010.html - RHP, Owasso HS (Okl.) -- Bundy lacks the prototypical big league pitcher's frame but boasts a powerful build (a result of his tireless workout efforts) and more than enough "now" stuff to project as a potential front-end starter or power closer. His fastball is a lively low-90s weapon that regularly produces soft contact or empty swings. Equally effective is a low-80s slider with late bite that he matches well to the plane of his fastball. Though a step behind his fastball and slider, Bundy's mid- to upper-70s curve also shows promise, and could be an average or better offering with more consistent shape. He is committed to Texas.

HS Moss is a smooth righthander with a wiry-strong frame. His fastball currently sits 90-93 mph with more in the tank as he fills out. His arm action is clean and easy and he has solid secondary offerings. He is intelligent on the mound and knows how to attack hitters. He has committed to North Carolina.
Phillip Evans:
8-18-10 from: - http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/the-2010-aflac-all-american-baseball-classic - Returning to Evans, he gave one of the more impressive efforts of the day. The middle infielder led off for the West and reached base in each of his first four trips to the plate. He made the final out of the game, but only after working the count full. Evans singled twice, drew two walks, and made a great read going from first to third on a grounder that glanced off the shortstop's glove in the fifth. He also saw a total of 25 pitches in his five plate appearances and generally was a pest.
Tyler Beede
8-19-10 from: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=4935 - Beede’s build stood out right away, with a tall and lean frame that scream projectability. He has a strong lower half, a high waist and narrow shoulders, giving him ample room for added strength as he continues to mature physically. I like how well his arm worked, with easy velocity while tossing a riding fastball that sat in the low-90s. There’s a lot more room in his body and arm action for increased radar gun readings, and he complemented his fastball well with a sharp curveball.

Like his two older brothers, Nick will make the move from shortstop to catcher full time this season for Farragut (Knoxville, Tenn.) High School, and by most accounts he has the potential to go in the first round of the 2011 MLB draft. "He really has an advanced feel for the game," says an American League scout. "How he does with the move behind the plate, though, will tell a lot. His bat will be a plus if he plays behind the plate, although he'd have to be much more consistent if he were to stay at shortstop or as a corner infielder. But this kid could make a really smooth transition to the pro game."
