Ty Hensley:


6-12-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/06/12/ty-hensley-2012-draft-profile - Ty Hensley is a two way player from Oklahoma who figures to make a living with his right arm. He is a big, strong righthander and looks like a future workhorse. Hensley’s father, Michael, pitched for the University of Oklahoma and spent three seasons playing in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. On the mound, Hensley has a high 3/4 arm slot and short arm action. His fastball sits in the low 90′s, as high as 94, and more velocity should come. He has a sharp curve that is a potential plus to plus-plus offering. He also has a developing change that should be a quality offering. Hensely is a prospect at catcher as well. He shows good power at the plate. At the start of his high school career, Hensley played both football and baseball, but gave up football to concentrate solely on baseball






Lance McCullers:


6-12-11: - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/722354-2012-mlb-mock-draft-early-predictions-for-next-years-top-10-picks#/articles/722354-2012-mlb-mock-draft-early-predictions-for-next-years-top-10-picks/page/2 - At only 16 years old, Lance McCullers was already throwing 97 mph fastballs, which means that as a high school sophomore, he is already pretty much assured of a place in the Top 10 of the 2012 MLB draft. There is a strong chance that he will go No. 1 overall, breaking the mold and becoming the first high school pitcher ever tabbed with the No. 1 pick. McCullers could have fit in very well with the 2011 draft class, seeing as how he's a diminutive pitcher around the same size as Trevor Bauer. In addition to his mid-to-high-90s heat, McCullers also features a hammer curveball that should be a plus pitch as a pro. He's also been throwing a changeup, and the pitch has considerable promise. One thing that might put a damper on McCullers' prospects on the mound is his ability at the plate and in the field, where he moonlights as Jesuit's power-hitting shortstop. In the field, he has shown more than enough arm to handle the position and is more fluid than you would expect a pitcher to be. His footwork is impressive as well. At the plate, he has a sweet left-handed swing that oozes with raw power. He has tapped into it in games, but could really take off if he would give up a career on the mound. And of course, McCullers has the lineage working in his favor. His dad was a seven-year MLB veteran who pitched for the Padres, Yankees, Tigers and Rangers.
