Draft 2012: - Seth Mejias-Bream, Fernelys Sanchez, Kayden Porter, Travis Jankowski, Lucas Sims



Seth Mejias-Bream:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Seth Mejias-Bream, Arizona, 6’2 205, R/R, solid hitter, puts the ball in play, has strength for HR power once he learns to lift the ball to LF alley, playable arm, 45, and glove 45, runs fair, 4.4 runner at best straight away.


Fernelys Sanchez:


8-15-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/8/14/2362719/2011-under-armour-all-america-game-top-10-prospects - 2011 Under Armour All America Game Top 10 Prospects - 9. Fernelys Sanchez 2012 OF 6'3 192 New York, NY George Washington - Sanchez got hit in the back to end the game but did very much to impress me in the game. He is very fast, top of the scale speed. He has a very good arm and has a projectable bat. He could be the best prospect in this game if he fulfills his potential.


Kayden Porter:


8-15-11: - http://www.draftsite.com/article/High-School-Names-to-Know/94  - Kayden Porter –RHP/1B - HT – 6’5’’ WT – 240 LBS Spanish fork HS (UT) -Porter is ridiculously built for a high school kid and an impressive athlete. On the mound he uses his intimidating presence to blast mid 90’s heat. But his real potential may lie at the plate. This summer Porter was invited to compete at the Triple A All-Star game homerun derby and he didn’t just do it for a story. In the first round he blasted 13 bombs and hit one 474 feet; eventually he would make it all the way to the finals falling short but he showed what he could do. His performance got everyone so amped up that one publication asked if he was the next Bryce Harper. He used a metal bat in the event but the talent is true and he has shown himself as someone to watch.


Travis Jankowski


8-17-11: - http://collegebaseball360.com/2011/08/16/jankowski-named-cape-cod-baseball-mvp  - - Bourne’s General Manager Mike Carrier said thankfully Jankowski scored a chance on the Cape because a former Brave’s assistant was working with Jankowski at Stony Brook. When current field manager, Harvey Shapiro, started calling around looking for good players, he found the 6-2, 190 pound outfielder. The ballplayer from Lancaster, Penn., played well from start to finish. The numbers do not lie. He was made a Cape League All-Star for the Western Division because of it. Jankowski finished one of the top ten hitters and base stealers in the league. He batted .326 with 22 RBIs, 60 hits, 35 runs and a .444 OBP.


Lucas Sims:


7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Lucas Sims, Brookwood HS, Lawrenceville GA, 6’2 195, strong bodied righty with arm strength, ran fb up to 92, most were 89-90, some middle in life, most were straight and hittable from H 3/4 slot, crosses body, showed bite on slide/cb piece that still in development stage, control was ok, some ability to develop at the next level.
