I was curious to see what New
Mexico first-baseman DJ Peterson would look like
after the giant 2012 season, and the results were mixed. The pop was real —
only Bryant put more balls over the left-field fence — but the bat speed wasn’t
élite, and as strictly a first baseman, the bat has to be special to go on day
one. Certainly a name to keep in the back of your head, but take the stats with
a grain of salt. - MDI
3B: Dan
Durkin, Andrew HS - As a sophomore, Dan Durkin led the Thunderbolts in
hitting with a .370 batting average and 34 RBI. So internally, Andrew coach
Dave DeHaan knew he had his middle-of-the-lineup hitter for the next few years.
But no way DeHaan could’ve predicted the kind of year the left-handed hitting
junior delivered this spring. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Durkin led the
talent-rich south suburbs of Chicago in hitting with a robust .523 batting
average. He finished with 43 runs scored, 3 home runs and drove in 31 runs. - PBR

round.
RHP Matt
Kellis from CBC is set for a break out senior season, a season that he
has been waiting for his entire high school career. Following a successful
summer season, Kellis will be part of a CBC pitching staff that looks to be one
of the strongest in the state next season and help put him on the radar of many
colleges in the Midwest - PBR
Jim Callis - Q
- I haven't heard anything on Richie Shaffer and the Rays! Is he signing or going
back to school? - A
- He'll sign. (obvious now why
Mets passed on him…)
Blue Jays sign 15th-rder Ryan Borucki for $426k. Illinois HS RHP throws 90-93,
tweaked elbow in March
University of New Mexico
third baseman DJ Peterson had quite the season
in 2012. He became only the third player to ever win the Mountain West overall
Triple Crown, he was named Co-Mountain West Player of the Year with teammate
Mitchell Garver, and he was named a semifinalist for both the Dick Howser Trophy
and the Golden Spikes Award. Now his success is carrying over into the summer. Peterson
currently leads USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team in runs (12) and RBIs
(11) and is tied for the team lead in home runs with three long balls. He also
ranks second on the team in total bases. themwc
