2013 Draft-Notes – Marco Gonzales, Jack Landwehr, Mike Zunino, Unsigned Picks


It was my first look at Gonzaga left-hander Marco Gonzales, and I came away impressed. He commanded his 90 mile-per-hour fastball extremely well, and the change up looks like a potential plus-plus offering. When you add in his athleticism — he can really hit and he’s a very good first-baseman — and you might have the 2013 Danny Hultzen. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2012/07/thoughts-from-the-prospect-classic/

RHP: Jack Landwehr, Prospect HS - Landwehr leaves Prospect having broken nearly every school pitching record, including all-time wins (26-5) and career strikeouts (240). He also single-handedly carried the Knights to their first state finish as a junior.   A two-time Prep Baseball Report first-team All-State selection, Landwehr was perhaps even more dominant than he was as a junior, but didn’t have the same results. In 70.2 innings, the right-hander struck out 100 and walked 11. He held a 0.59 ERA and limited opponents to 40 hits. His record, however, didn’t reflect his dominance. He finished with a 7-3 mark; two of those losses were of the 1-0 variety, both times the runs were unearned. http://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/IL/PBR-2012-All-State-Teams-released-2356974108#.T_fCBkz4LU0.twitter
