Braden Kapteyn, Roberto Suppa, John Stilson, Desmond Henry, Taylor Jungmann

It was another gut-wrenching performance for Kentucky. The Wildcats appeared to have their game against Illinois-Chicago in control before reliever Braden Kapteyn entered the ninth inning and promptly allowed four runs to help the Flames grab a 10-8 road victory. With the setback, the Wildcats now have a disappointing 2-4 record against unimpressive opposition for the most part. It’s one of those years so far. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5298





Roberto Suppa, rhp - "He's going to be a draft kid. He's a big, strong, horse of a kid. H signed with Cornell, so he'll probably be a tough sign. But he'll be 88-91 (mph) with real good, heavy sink and he's a big, strong-armed kid. So he's going to throw 90 plus consistently and he's certainly got a pro body at 6-foot-5 and over 200 pounds. He's certainly an interesting kid." - http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=3119





John Stilson - Seeing Stilson start was something I wanted to make sure I saw early this season after serving as a closer last year with impressive statistical results. His delivery isn’t quite as violent as I remember, and his fastball sits in the 90-94 range. His slider is still a nasty pitch, that explodes down and away from right-handed batters. He also took a lot off of his slider when getting his slow curve over for strikes, a pitch that had also had sharp downward break. Physically he is built like a middle infielder, with sloped shoulders and good athletic proportions. Not surprising, since he came to Texas A&M as a two-way talent. He has a competitive nature on the mound and is stuff is just as nasty in a starting role as it was in relief a year ago. http://www.5tooltalk.com/2011-notes-2-26-11.html





Desmond Henry, OF, Centennial HS, Compton, Calif. - Skinny: Shockingly fast, Henry raced to a 6.38 60-yard dash, easily the lowest timing of the day. Henry may be the fastest draft-eligible high school player in the nation. A superb fly chaser with a decent throwing arm, Henry has hitting ability but did not show it Saturday. Only 150-pounds, Henry will realize his hitting potential when he starts to try to hit 200-foot line drives instead of 500-foot fly balls.

Texas Longhorns ace Taylor Jungmann went the distance for his second consecutive complete-game shutout. He struck out nine and allowed just four hits. Jungmann has issued just one base on balls in two starts and sat 92-96 mph with his four-seamer. Among the concerns with Jungmann at the next level include his changeup and some delivery problems, including some upper body violence in his motion and the fact that he throws a bit across his body. Longhorns coach Augie Garrido has a reputation for working his pitchers hard, and the fact that Jungmann has already thrown two complete games will raise some eyebrows. However, the righty threw just 95 pitches in the opener and 110 on Friday, neither of which is an alarming number for a complete game. His workload will be closely monitored as the season progresses.- http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=mlb_draft&id=6166900&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fblog%3fname%3dmlb_draft%26id%3d6166900
