8-27 from: - link - RHP Austin Wood U.S.C. 6'4 220 - power arm who went unsigned in 2010 after transfering to St Pete JC from Florida St. Will run fb up there to 98 mph most are 93-94 with occ run when in on RHH and sink when down, hard slider gets too big at times with break easy to read out of hand, other times very dominant, just needs to get it all together and stay within himself, ala Bobby Jenks/Jeff Farnsworth types. Some max effort and will get pitches up, but gets away with it due to velocity.
Bubba Starling:
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-school/events/under-armour-preseason-all-america-tournament/2010/2610524.html - OF/RHP - Gardner-Edgerton HS, Gardner, Kan. Starling is a talented athlete who some say is the best prep athlete in Kansas state history. On the baseball field, Starling plays the outfield and pitches. He shows five-tool potential as a position player. He has a quick bat with power, runs a 6.53-second 60-yard dash and shows a 90-94 mph fastball on the mound. Starling is committed to play quarterback and baseball at Nebraska.
8-15-10 from: - http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=mlb_draft&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fblog%3fname%3dmlb_draft - At the top of that list, of course, was Bubba Starling, who was extremely impressive in his inning of work, with a fastball from 89-92 mph and a hammer curveball -- the best I've seen him throw -- at 73-76 mph with good depth and two-plane break; all three outs he recorded came via the strikeout. Starling is still just throwing rather than really pitching; he doesn't get his lower half involved, especially not his hips, and between the potential for improving the delivery and the substantial physical projection he offers, it's hard to forecast future velocity below the 92-95 range.
8-16-10 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/8/16/1625615/2010-under-armour-all-american#storyjump - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner HS (Kan.) - Committed to Nebraska as a quarterback and to play baseball, Starling is one of the best athletes in the draft, and is sky-rocketing up the charts as a both a hitter and a pitcher. While he also showcased a 90-92 mph fastball and a 74-76 mph 11-5 curveball with good two-plane break on the mound, he is a true five-tool talent as a position player, with plus speed to go along with the plus arm in the outfield. At 6’5’’, 190 pounds, Starling profiles best in right field as he continues to mature and add muscle on his lean frame. At the plate, Starling displayed tremendous bat speed in batting practice using a fairly compact swing and generating good loft. During game action, Starling showed a patient approach and rarely chased after pitches out of the zone. There is some cleaning up to do, as he could benefit from starting his hands higher, but he barreled up pitches better than anyone at the event, and with his frame, the potential is there for a plus hitter with plus power.
8-16-10: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=130 - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner-Edgerton HS (KS) - There is not much Starling can't do. At 6'5, 200, Starling has all the tools to become a legit five tool player. He has a plus arm, and is a blazer on the bases. Starling has enormous power and he showed it in BP, launching balls deep into the left field bleachers at Wrigley. Starling also pitched an inning on the mound, sitting 90-92 and flashing a devastating curve ball. He is a top pitching prospect, but his future lies in his five tool ability in the field.
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - OF Derek "Bo" Starling Gardner-Edgerton HS, Kansas 6'4 1/2 200 R/R - put himself on the map this summer with an excellent showcase and is one of top HS QB's in nation, verbal to Nebraska. Shows above arm arm strength and has pitched with very crude mechanics but gets the job done on the hill. Runs very well especially straight away, ran sub 6.6, 60, timed at 4.5 in 40 consistently which is good for a HS QB. Still rough around the edges, but raw strength, has yet to physically mature, shows plus power and ability to steal bases with his speed. Definitely someone who's made a name for himself this summer.
Phillip Evans:
8-31-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=142 - Phillip Evans - MIF, 5'9" 181, R/R, La Costa Canyon HS (CA) - Evans is a classic "ballplayer" but he also has tools. Some will scoff at his size but he plays much bigger than he is. Evans honestly can do it all on the field and he does it with flair, which generally keeps your eyes on him. He is an all-field spray/contact hitter with gap power. Defensively he has a plus arm and exceptionally soft hands, to go with good instincts. He does occasionally come up too early on ground balls and there are times his flashy style can get the best of him.
Kyle Shaw:
9-3-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=144 - Kyle Shaw - RHP, 6'0" 190, Sante Fe HS (OK) - Quick arm with short backside arm action, 87-90 mph fastball with some life and a sharp swing and miss 77-80 mph curveball.
Alex Meyer:
8-27 from: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/ - RHP Alex Meyer Kentucky 6'9 225 - Classic arm strength up to 98 mph, most are 92-93 but very straight with FB, has had so so college career after being talked about going in first rounder in HS. Needs to put it all together this season and sign the dotted line and work with pro instructors to iron out his hitches and glitches. CB has downward action from 12/6 and can over power hitters on occ, but lack of command has hurt him overall. Potential is there to be as good if not better than Jeff Niemann of the Rays.
