Clint Coulter:


8-9-11: - http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/2011/08/another-catcher-joins-hit-parade-at-area-codes  - Coulter has a physical build at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. He's muscular through his core with strong thighs and forearms. Along with baseball, he used to also participate in football, basketball and wrestling. In high school, he's only played baseball and done wresting, but he'll give that up this year to focus solely on baseball—especially after gaining 30 pounds during workouts since last year (he wrestled in the 189-pound weight class). Coulter, who is looking at several Pacific-12 Conference schools, is a relatively-new convert to catching. He grew up—like many top prospects did—mainly playing shortstop and pitching. But his high school coach, Tom Lampkin, caught for 13 years in the big leagues and suggested he make the transition. So Coulter has been behind the plate for just three years now. It's not an easy transition, but it certainly helps having a former big leaguer there to guide the process.


Keaton Haack:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Keaton Haack, NW Guilford HS, NC, 6’5 1/2 200, throws easy from H 3/4, touches 91 on jugs, downhill plane, some bite to cutter type breaking ball, fb fairly straight, some sink when down in the zone, is around the plate for the most part, still a work in progress.
