Draft 2012: - Mike Yazstremski, Brian Johnson, C J Hinojosa, Ryan Burr, Chris Harvey




7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Mike Yazstremski, Vandy, 5’11 175, L/L, scrappy player with great bloodlines, makes solid contact and adjustments to be quality hitter at ML level, occ HR power, not a threat to hit HR, plays adequate defense and enough overall tools to be 4th OF at ML level.



8-24-11: - diamondscapescouting  - Brian Johnson (lhp/1b, Univ. of Florida) was dominant in relief of Stanek, overpowering the 18U hitters with four offerings showing distinct looks out of a similar arm slot. Johnson was 91-92 mph with his fastball and backed it up with an 80 mph change and two breaking balls -- an upper-70s curve and low-80s slider, each executed with precision.


8-30-11: - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/08/30/cj-hinojosa-set-to-attend-texas-for-2012-season  - Several Internet sites have been reporting that CJ Hinojosa will skip his final year at Klein Collins to attend Texas for the 2011-2012 school year. CJ confirmed that the news on Twitter saying: Hahah it’s crazy what people talk about… Excited to be a HORN! I knew word got out fast.. But not that fast.. Lol #Hook’Em! Hinojosa also continued and spoke to critics of his saying that he turned down a high amount of money saying: money isn’t the reason I made my decisions though, made the decision cause I plan on being successful after baseball! #life

He is aggressive on the mound and shows an ability to hit the corners on both sides of the plate. Burr throws in the low 90′s, usually from 91-93 and topping out at 94. His sharp curve should be a plus pitch at the next level. Burr’s third pitch is a change that he is still developing.

Chris Harvey, Germantown Acad. HS, Norristown PA, 6’5 210, R/R, strong kid with lots of room to fill out, has ML arm, release is slow as he needs to stand to deliver to 2b, best pop times for me were 2.02 real time, has long swing with power potential, long term project but plays game right and appears to enjoy being out there.
