Class: HS Senior - Hometown: Fountain Valley, California Height/Weight: 5-11/195 Baseball (and football) powerhouse Mater Dei
catcher Jeremy Martinez has all the tools to be a standout catcher at the
professional level. His defensive ability is off the charts. His pop-time
(1.87) stands out and compares to some of the best backstops playing in the
big-leagues today, who average around 1.80. His arm is plenty strong and he has
incredibly soft hands. At 5’11” and 195 pounds he has the size to stay behind
the plate for the long-haul.

Zack Collins
Class: HS Senior Hometown: Pembroke Pines, Florida Height/Weight: 6-2/200 If the performance of Jeremy Martinez and Zack
Collins are any indication, the catching crop of the 2013 high school draft
class is going to be the best we’ve seen in quite some time. Like Martinez, Collins has a realistic shot
at sticking behind the plate. At 6’2” and 200 pounds he should be able to
withstand the rigors of catching everyday, and he also has the athleticism to
be a agile defender.
Connor Doyle
Just transferred to Cardozo from Townsend
Harris, (Townsend Harris is a B division baseball school so he wasn't getting
much competition). Connor is 6'1 and weighs 165. He's a junior right now and
next year will be a senior. He still has a lot of room to grow. Connor was also
basketball player and is very athletic. According to some of my friends who
played with Connor at Townsend all he does is train. His parents have invested
a ton of money into him, he travels all over the world and his life is centered
around Sports. Connor is a Pitcher and plays CF. Very fast, legs singles to
doubles easily. He is more known for his pitching though. He's a righty who
throws a fastball, curve and change. He doesn't use his changeup too much so
it's a below average pitch for him. His fastball sits in the mid 80's but he
can touch the upper 80's with it at times. When he starts to grow into his
frame he'll probably easily sit in the high 80's. His curveball is more so a
1-7 curve if you know what i mean. He always used to throw BP at Townsend and
always used to tell everyone to watch at a pitch might get away from him so
what he did is he broke his curve from the hands of a righty to the low outside
corner. The pitch can get a bit flat at times the more he works into a game. He
has a pretty good bat. Not too much power but he has great pitch recognition
and walks a ton. Doesn't strike out a ton. The only thing that people complain
about him is his attitude. Can be a bit egotistical but once he steps onto the
mound he's all business. The biggest weakness in his game is his control.
There's some games he can't command any of his pitches and will throw a ton of
balls. This year at Cardozo the coach lowered Connor's innings and he didn't
pitch too much, according to a friend from Cardozo the coach wanted to showcase
Connor and Adrian next year and will allow them to throw a lot more then. From
what I know about Connor he will probably sign because he seems like the kind
who will go for the money instead of college, but he is already getting some D1
offers.
