2011 DRAFT: - Drew Stankiewicz, Matt Puhl, Blake Swihart, John Hochstatter... and Shon Carson

Drew Stankiewicz:



8-13-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=122  - The top Reds offensive performer was Drew Stankiewicz (5'9" 160, S/R) from Gilbert HS-Gilbert (AZ). He drove in the only two runs with a ringing double to left field off a very tough pitcher, Brewers right-hander Matthew Troupe. Stankiewicz is a compactly built infielder with a contact approach and aggressive nature in the box. His double came late in a long battle type at-bat and he jumped on a mistake fastball up, driving it to the opposite field gap (left field).


8-14-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=126  - Infielder Drew Stankiewicz (Gilbert HS, AZ) has put together a couple of nice games with the bat. Today he was 1-4 with a double and a run scored and he also played very well at second base, turning over a nice double play when he hung in there as the runner was coming in hard at him. He is another player with limited tools for the pro game right now but will be a good college player.



Matt Puhl:


7-26 from: - http://perfectgame.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?q=Y&a=tpc&s=114295945&f=6174069131&m=3221081702&p=4  - 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. – Matt Puhl, Minnesota, 6'4 1/2 210, R/R, runs very well, good athlete, also football player, played basketball in HS as well, hasn't shown pure power, but it's there, trust me, throws ok, good last name eh!?


Blake Swihart:


8-11-10 from: - http://baseballanalysts.com/  - Blake Swihart (Cleveland, Rio Rancho, NM), a 6-1, 175-pound switch-hitting catcher, had two hits and drew rave reviews from many talent evaluators for his offensive and defensive prowess. He is another Aflac selection who hit a team-leading .448 AVG (26-for-58) and .845 SLG (6 2B, 1 3B, and 5 HR) for the USA 18U club. He has also committed to play for the Texas Longhorns.


John Hochstatter:


8-12-10: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=117  - Following Stephenson on the mound was lefthander John Hochstatter (6'3" 205) from San Ramon Valley-Danville (CA). He carved up the Reds for two innings, with an array of change-ups, curveballs, sliders and fastballs. Hochstatter is a pitchability lefthander with a 86-88 mph fastball and though he may never throw much harder than that, his feel for his secondary pitches and his pitchability are exceptional, especially for a high school pitcher.


Shon Carson:


8-12-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-preseason-all-america-tournament/2010/2610524.html  - OF - Scanton, S.C. A dynamic athlete with present strength, Carson is the shortstop and ace on his high school team, and projects as a center fielder in the future. He has raw tools with power at the plate and is one of the fastest players in the country. A running back who ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at an Under Armour Football Combine, he has two-sport offers from numerous schools, including Clemson, North Carolina, Florida State and UCLA.
