Camarillo H.S. RHP Hunter Virant tossed a no-hitter on Thursday. This
outing should guarantee Hunter a pick in the first round. I had hoped he would
fall to a “two” and the Mets would grab him, but now, don’t look for him to be
around when the Mets use the first of two Jose Reyes compensation picks. scouting report - Virant is a lanky left-hander who will no
doubt challenge for the top spot among high school southpaws. He’s been
consistently clocked in the low-to-mid 90s, and has touched 96 mph in the past.
He complements his fastball with a stellar curveball, one that could be one of
the best in the class with a bit more experience and polish. Virant is athletic
enough to play multiple positions throughout his high school career, including
first base and outfield. He shows enough potential at the plate to warrant a
spot in the draft, but on the mound his future as a No. 2 or No. 3 starter is
going to be too much to ignore
Keith Law tweeted that
Clemson 1B Richie Schaffer will “definitely’ be a first round draft pick. - high school scouting report: - Richie Shaffer is a 2009
3B/SS/P with a 6'3'', 190 lb. frame from Charlotte, NC who attends Providence.
Shaffer has a very athletic strong build and can do it all. He has very fluid
infield actions and has hands work well. He throws easy with great carry across
the diamond topping out at 91mph. He has good bat speed at the plate and the
ball flies off his bat. He has easy power and can drive the ball to all fields.
He has huge power potential and his bat projects very large with some minor
adjustments. He also can get on the mound and topped out at 90 at the
Metrodome, with more to come. Shaffer is an outstanding baseball player and a
top 2009 draft follow. He is also an very good student and has verbally
committed to Clemson. Aflac All American
