8-27 from: - link - LHP Matt Purke TCU 6'4 190 - smooth lefty who has progressed each year that I've had the pleasure to see since 2008 at the TOS in Cary, NC when he was 16 yrs old. He's gone from throwing 86-89 mph as a soph in HS to presently up to 95-96 tops, mostly 91-93 with run and sink down in the zone and he's aggressive. Matt has good depth to a vastly improved cb that he throws confidently for strikes and gets hitters out in front with a straight change as well. Year to year his progression is one that warrants first player drafted type scenarios as he'll be a solid fixture in any ML rotation. He's yet to physically mature which is scary considering he's improved each year.
link - LHP, Science Hill HS (Tenn.) -- Norris is the top lefty high school arm in the class right now, and perhaps the top high school arm overall, showing big power stuff in a solid 6-2/180 frame. His fastball sits comfortably in the low-90s, showing some life, and he pairs it with a hard breaking mid-70s curve. He also boasts a low-80s change that is his third best offering but shows promise. Norris's stuff is impressive on its own, but he also comes with a quick arm and some deception, shielding the ball very well from the batter.
8-17-10 from: - http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/08/17/which-2011-mlb-draft-prospects-impressed-as-aflac-all-americans - Daniel Norris, LHP: After seeing him at the PG National, Norris left me excited to see more, and he did not disappoint at Aflac. He once again showed plus raw stuff, sitting 92-94 mph with his fastball, and showing off that big swing-and-miss breaking ball. The feel for his low-80s changeup was something that jumped out as well. In other words, Norris is still clearly the top prep lefty in the class.
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - LHP Daniel Norris Science Hill HS, Johnson City Tenn 6'2 190 - quality lefty with arm strength and arm speed from upper 3/4 slot, also one of top HS QB's in state, tends to open early on occ causing elbow to get under pitches, fb velocity ranges from 88-94, most are 90-91, cb true 2/6 downward plane action and throws strikes but pitches up more than he needs to which could hurt him in pro ball. Pro instruction will be needed to help him repeat his delivery to be effective in pro ball. Stamina also a concern, but has shown 93-94 in 7th inning before on occ.
8-12-10 from: - link - OF - George County HS, Lucedale, Miss. A loose, lean outfielder with plenty of tools, Robbins has a polished lefthanded stroke with bat speed and power potential. He shows arm strength from the outfield, which is also evident on the mound, where he touches 90 mph. He could be an impact bat at the next level. He is committed to Southern Mississippi.
8-17-10 from: - link - Javier Baez, SS: Baez continues to be one of the best all-around prep position players in the country. As he proved at the PG National, he can hit good pitching with authority and has legitimate opposite-field thump. Baez showed off some big raw power in batting practice, and his compact swing carries over well in the games.
8-27 from: - link - 2B-Ss-3B Ryan Wright Louisville 6'1 195 R/R - had a great summer showing off his ML arm, aggressiveness and compact swing that will drive in runs as a 3 hole or 5-6 hole guy in the lineup. Where is he going to play? Preferably at 2B once he signs. He runs well underway, not a burner, more instinctive runner. Has quickness with his bat to generate 10-15 type HR power. Redbird program will be watched closely!
