8-12-10 from: - link - C/1B - Farragut HS, Knoxville Delmonico is one of the top hitters in the 2011 class. He has a sweet lefthanded stroke with bat speed and barrel accuracy. He hit a walkoff home run to win a state title for Farragut. He's a good athlete who can play multiple positions. Catching gives him the highest draft value, but he has played first base for Team USA the last two summer and shortstop on his high school team. He has committed to Georgia.
8-16-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/8/16/1625615/2010-under-armour-all-american#storyjump - Nicky Delmonico, C, Farragut HS (Tenn.) - Committed to Georgia with Bichette, Delmonico is a sweet-swinging left-hander with a polished all-around player and a good athlete to boot who can play multiple positions. Delmonico consistently recorded sub-2.0 pop times in the workout at University of Chicago-Illinois the day before, and his game arm ranged from 2.0-2.2 with good accuracy on Saturday afternoon. He impressed as a leader behind home plate and his ability to receive pitches stood out as well. During batting practice, Delmonico consistently sprayed line drives to all fields but struggled in game action with some issues with his timing. He went 0-4 on the day with two strikeouts, both chased out of the zone. But, overlooking the small sample size, Delmonico is an advanced hitter with a good approach and he will generate some buzz as a catcher.
Eric Snyder:
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. – Outfield - Eric Snyder, Edison HS, Cal, 5'11 165, L/R, same HS as Owens, saw him for 3 yrs now and he's still a pipsqueak but he is a gamer and plays hard always. Runs abv ave and solid arm with carry and shows OF instincts to play CF. I like him more than 1st rounder, Vettleson.
Robert Stephenson:
8-11-10 from: - http://baseballanalysts.com/ - In the final game of the day, Robert Stephenson (Alhambra, Martinez, CA) led the Brewers White to a 6-1 victory over the Reds. The 6-2, 185-pound righthander struck out six batters without allowing a walk or run in three innings. The Aflac All-American was popping his fastball in the low 90s in one of the more impressive outings of the day.
8-11-10 from: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2704 - Robert Stephenson, rhp, Alhambra HS, Martinez, Calif. - Several scouts voiced concern over Stephenson’s near maximum effort delivery. His stuff, however, is of high quality. A projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pounder, Stephenson relies heavily on his 90-92 mph fastball, which peaks near 94. That pitch shows late jumping life as it reaches the strike zone. Stephenson adds a 77 curve and 74 change, both of which show promise but need to be sharpened.
8-12-10: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=117 - Right-hander and Aflac All-American Robert Stephenson (6'2" 185) from Alhambra HS-Martinez (CA) started the game and went three scoreless innings. He has a beautifully easy overhand arm action with looseness and plus arm speed. His fastball was up to 93 and it happens with little effort.
Tony Zych:
8-13-10 from: - http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/08/12/louisvilles-tony-zych-named-top-reliever-and-pro-prospect-in-ccbl - Right-handed pitcher Tony Zych (Louisville) was Bourne’s go-to closer all season, and last week he was recognized for his performance. Zych was presented the Russ Ford Award as the Cape Cod Baseball League’s Outstanding Relief Pitcher and also earned the Robert A. McNeece Award as the Outstanding Pro Prospect, two of the most prestigious honors the league has to offer. The sophomore allowed only two runs in 20.1 innings this summer for a 0.89 ERA, recording 12 saves, while striking out 29 and walking just four. He pitched a shutout inning at the Cape League All-Star game.
Nick Piscotty:
8-14-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=126 - RHP Nick Piscotty from Northern California was also sharp again. He was in about the same velocity range as the other night (87-88) and once again very effectively used his good overhand curveball to ease through the Yankee hitters. One thing that works really well for Piscotty is his delivery. His lower half comes at the hitters before his upper body and his arm, which throws off the timing of the hitters and creates good deception. He was uncommitted heading into this event and no doubt will have all kinds of college opportunities now.
