Kyle Zimmer — 6’-3”, RHP,
San Francisco Zimmer is a power righty whose fastball has been clocked at 97
mph with late sink. He also features a power curve that projects to a wipe-out
pitch at the next level. His slider is above average, his change-up is still
developing, and he has excellent command of all four pitches. He had a 3.38 ERA
at the Cape Cod League with 37K/14 BB over 48 innings. At 6’-3”and 200 lbs, he
has the frame to be a workhorse. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/top-50-draft-prospects-for-2012-50-thru-26/15621/
Lewis Brinson,
OF, Coral Springs (Fla.) - Brinson brings mixed reviews at this stage of the
evaluation process, displaying plus athleticism and five-tool potential. At
6-foot-4, he may ultimately outgrow center field, but his arm should fit in
right, provided his raw power plays in pro ball, too. Brinson has been timed in
the 60 at 6.5 seconds, which is among the fastest in the entire draft class. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/940/mccullers-jr-is-top-florida-diamond-star

- Stryker Trahan — 6’-2”, C, Arcadiana HS (LA) -
Left-handed hitting catchers are rare. Athletic ones who can hit for power are
even rarer. Trahan is the top prep catcher in the draft and should be able to
stay at the position at the major-league level. At 6’-2” and 215 lbs, he makes
for a good target and has a very strong arm. He runs a 6.6/60 and would play
well in right field, as well. Hit .460 with five home runs as a junior in 2011
with a 1.281 OPS.
