Class: HS Senior - Hometown: San Marcos, California Height/Weight: 6-5/190 Gonsalves drew some attention from ESPN during
the final month of the high school season for his outstanding performance in
the CIF San Diego Section Division III championship game, where he tossed a
complete-game, struck out eight and picked up the victory. For the season, the
lanky lefty went 10-0 with 79 strikeouts in 66 innings

Adrian Castano
Adrian is much more well known than Connor
throughout the city. Adrian is 6'2 and weighs 170. Like Connor he Pitches and
plays Center and also first. Adrian is a lefty though. Firstly Adrian is very
fast. Gets very good jumps when stealing and is a very smart baserunner. This
year Adrian didn't have his usual power. He was single happy hitter but he
extends those singles from stealing 2nd and 3rd. In past years he had much more
extra base power. Doesn't strike out much but doesn't walk as much as Connor
doesn't have the same pitch recognition as Connor. The thing that has made
Adrian well known though is his pitching. I haven't heard much about where he's
at know but I know when he was a Freshman, he's a junior now and will be a
senior next year, he was hitting the mid 80's easily throughout the whole game.
Like Connor he throws a fastball, curve and changeup. He doesn't use his change
much but from what i heard his fastball has gotten much better which had also
helped the curve. Unlike Connor, Adrian is a control freak. In 15 innings this
year he has walked 1 and struck out 29. Much like Connor the coach didn't want
to work Adrian too much this year. He's a power lefty who knows how to play
baseball. Adrian loves baseball and will probably have a much higher chance to
go to college to get better unless the right team picks him.
Michael Lorenzen
Class: College Junior Hometown: Anaheim, California Height/Weight: 6-3/195 Born:
January 4, 1992 Another
multiple-occasion draftee, Michael Lorenzen will no doubt go higher than his
previous drafting back in 2010, when the Rays selected him out of Fullerton
High School in the seventh-round. Lorenzen didn’t do much negotiating and
decided to stay close to home, signing with Cal State-Fullerton. Lorenzen wowed
just about everyone with his freshman campaign. He led the squad with a .342
average, and produced an impressive .373 in conference play. He combined for 13
extra-base hits, struck out just 24 times (a fantastic number for a first-year
player) and swiped 19 bases. In the field, Lorenzen drew rave reviews for his
range and throwing ability. He gunned down five baserunners attempting to
advance in just 49 games and committed just two errors all year.

Just a few things about Adrian to add that I didn't put before Mack. For the readers when it keeps saying Connor it means Connor Doyle one of his teammates. Adrian plays for Benjamin N Cardozo here in Queens New York. After talking to a friend they told me Adrian's fastball has been hitting the upper 80's with more consistency. If you want to see some more stats are Adrian they're all on psal.org. Here's a quick quote that was put in an article about Adrian last year. "I thought he was one of the top players in the city last year as a freshman," the scout added.
"He has a good body, a nice, clean arm and he swings the bat with violence. If he progresses nicely over the next 24 months, there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to play at the next level."
