10-17-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=162 - A real intriguing projection lefty is 6’5”, 170 lb Erik Skoglund who hails from Sarasota HS. He’s very slender, with a loose arm and surprising balance in his delivery in spite of the long limbs. Skogland threw mostly in the mid-80s and had trouble commanding his curveball. He showed another off-speed pitch (circle change?) that was very effective buried on the arm-side corner and has a nice feel for pitching. The raw stuff is short right now, but it will definitely get better and could make Skoglund a high draft either in June or after three years in college. He has committed early to Central Florida
Trevor Gretzky:
10-16-10 from: - http://myworldofbaseball.com/wordpress/2010/10 If Trevor Gretzky can play baseball as well as his father played hockey you could have another Stephen Strasburg in the making. Trevor committed to San Diego State to play baseball, ignoring hockey as his high school sport, playing instead baseball and football. As a first baseman he hit .341 with two homeruns and 33 RBIs for Westlake Village Oaks Christian High. He also plays quarterback for his high school football team. The 2011 season will be Trevor’s senior season.
Skylar Janisse
8-14-10 from: - http://www.5tooltalk.com/notes-mainpage.html - The lone Canadian on the roster, he follows the footsteps of Jake Eliopoulos and Kellin Deglan who played at this event each of the past two years. I don’t think Janisse carries the same grade as a prospect at a similar stage in his career. He is a taller righty with a high waist and good projectability overall. His fastball sat at 86-87 with decent life and touched 89 a few times. It took him a few tries, but he started to snap off a few sharp low-80s curveballs as part of his ninth inning stint.
Carson Baranik
8-14-10 from: - http://www.5tooltalk.com/notes-mainpage.html - Baranik has broad shoulders and a strong lower half. His fastball sat in the 84-87 range but had good life to it, acting like a cutter, and he reportedly has thrown harder in the past. He mixed in a big, slow low-70s curveball and worked mostly on the outer half. His stuff and stature are similar to the Brewers Carlos Villanueva, a guy that isn’t going to wow you, but has good pitchability that gets batters out by changing speeds and commanding the zone.
