7-26 from: - link - Here are some names of draft eligibles for 2011 who have not been mentioned much and are definitely on the radar for 2011 MLB scouting depts. – Catcher - Beau Taylor, Central Florida, 5'10 195, R/R, good receiver with abv ave release and knows how to play the game, puts the bat on the ball, occ 8-12 type HR power.
8-6-10 from: - link - The Rice third baseman has a fantastic swing, and his statistical dominance lead me to name my college projection system in his honor (RENDON). Unfortunately Rendon broke his ankle during trials for Team USA. Rendon did undergo successful surgery on July 26th. One of the attending surgeons, Dr. Tom Clanton offered good news. "The operation went better than expected since the fracture pattern and ligament injuries were less severe than they originally appeared. We expect Anthony to make a full recovery and be playing baseball for Rice next Spring."
8-2 from: - link - Outfielder Shon Carson from Lake City (S.C.) High was one of the most exciting players on the field today. Carson reached base twice—getting from home to first in 4.25 seconds in one of his singles. But Carson has the blazing speed to turn singles into pseudo triples in about two pitches. "That's a big part of my game and the scouts like to see that," Carson said. Carson doesn't just use his speed on the basepaths. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder is also one of the nation's best running backs. Carson said he brings a football mentality to the baseball diamond, but that the two sports are also different.
8-6-10: - link - • Among batters, Madison’s Kyle Gaedele, who just finished his sophomore year at Valparaiso, looks the part of a prospect. He offers an interesting power-speed skillset, entering the game second on the Mallards in homers (6), first in triples (5), and first in stolen bases (23 in 25 attempts) in 247 at-bats. Interestingly, his numbers in college this season were almost identical: 236 AB, 8 3B, 7 HR, 17/17 SB. His plate discipline numbers (23 BB and 40 K in Madison, 23 BB and 42 K at Valpo) are also shockingly similar. Interesting note: Gaedele is the great-nephew of Eddie Gaedel, the 3’7″ player who became the shortest player to bat in a major league game, taking a plate appearance for the St. Louis Browns while wearing the jersey number 1/8.
8-6 from: - link - Owens, from Edison (Huntington Beach, Calif.), pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers Blue team and shined in his two innings of work with six strikeouts and a walk among the seven batters he faced. The Brewers Blue went on to defeat the Texas Rangers 6-2 in the first game of the event. He faced two-time All-District MVP Toller Boardman of Bellaire, Texas, who went the first two innings for the Rangers and did not allow a run.
