Draft Notes 5-28-12 – Josh Ludy, D.J. Davis, Kevin Gausman, Tim Cooney



Jim Callis

Still just wild speculation...I'll say 1st rd but no idea where. @frankpeavey: Any idea where Giolito ends up? Top 5? 10? 1st Rd?



Josh Ludy, C, Baylor -  55 G, .361 AVG, 34 R, 13 2B, 13 HR, 64 RBI, .449/.616/1.065 - Through his first 25 games this season, Ludy had zero home runs. Since then, he has smacked 13 over his last 29 including a 5-for-6 game with three home runs and seven RBI against Kansas State on April 15. He is also hitting .431 (31-for-72) over his last 21 games with three doubles, 11 home runs and 28 RBI. The 5’-11”, 210-pound right-hander is a big, solid guy but he came into this season with just five home runs over 289 career at-bats. With 26 walks to 39 strikeouts on the year, he also shows a very good approach at the plate. Ludy’s breakout season could see him get selected in the first couple of rounds come draft day.


DJ Davis, Stone (Wiggins, Miss.) - A newcomer, Davis was not among the top players listed six months ago. A strong spring has vaulted Davis up among the top five high school outfielders and a potential low first-round pick.
