Alex Meyer, Trevor Bauer, Matt Iannazzo, Kavin Keyes, Dylan Bundy, Bubba Starling

Alex Meyer is an impressive pitcher on the mound. His fastball pops and his slider is just nasty but so is his delivery. He is so tall that if his mechanics just get off by a little bit, he could be a mess, but when he is on, his stuff is phenomenal. I don't think I could pull the trigger on him in the top 15 picks though. http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/



Trevor Bauer, RHP – UCLA - I'm bullish on the high pitch counts being a factor, but it's impossible to argue against the results. Bauer went the distance for the seventh time this season and tallied 140 pitches, a season and career high. It's not a number clubs want to see, but it's a mixed bag as to that being a significant, negative factor on draft day. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog?name=mlb_draft&id=6555549&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fmlb%2fblog%3fname%3dmlb_draft%26id%3d6555549



Pittsburgh junior lefthander Matt Iannazzo claimed BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week. Iannazzo earns BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week honors after tossing a complete game in a 12-1 win over West Virginia. The junior helped the Panthers jump ahead of the Mountaineers in the BIG EAST standings and clinch a spot in the BIG EAST Championship with a sweep in the series. Iannazzo held the conference’s fourth-best offense to six hits and one unearned run. He also recorded a season-high eight strikeouts in the victory. http://www.bigeast.org/News/tabid/435/Article/225694/Pittsburgh,-St.-John%E2%80%99s-Earn-BIG-EAST-Baseball-Weekly-Honors.aspx



Oregon State freshman IF Kavin Keyes belted his first collegiate homerun this past weekend during the best offensive week he has had this year; now that’s saying something as Keyes’ yearly average of 0.326 demonstrates that he’s done nothing but hit all year; only once did he post a weekly average less than 0.300, while four times he’s posted 0.400+; Keyes finished the week with a combined 6-for-15, 3 2B’s, 1 HR, 8 RBI and a stolen base… http://www.prospectnation.com/blog/?p=726



Dylan Bundy, who has a brother in the Orioles minor leagues as well as a father who was a pro ball player, could be the first right handed high school pitcher to ever be taken #1 overall in the draft. It is unlikely, but he may have the highest ceiling of any player in this draft. He has a lot of mileage on his arm for a high school kid already. That could be an issue at some point and needs to be considered but the Pirates could choose to add him to the core of young studs who could all reach the majors at about the same time in 4 or 5 years. http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/



Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner-Edgerton HS (KS) - Pros: No position player in the draft can match his tools. In fact, nobody can come anywhere close. Tall, rangy, strong, and ultra-athletic, Starling has D-I football opportunities as a quarterback and has well above-average power, speed, and arm strength, leaving some to project him as a potential 30-30 player with impact defense in center field. Cons: Can he hit? That's the question. His swing mechanics are far from sound, and he has a trigger mechanism that can throw off his timing. Scouts have gotten few looks at Starling against top competition, and there is some fear that he's simply this year's version of Donavan Tate and a classic high-risk/high-reward type.
