Draft 13 – Rob Kaminsky, Akeem Bostick, Bobby Wahl, Mark Appel, Adam Plutko




Rob Kaminsky, St. Joseph HS (NJ) - Kaminsky hasn’t had a lot of opportunities this season to show off what he can do — such is the life of a baseball player in the northeast. He has, however, made the best of his three starts, including tossing a no-hitter on April 2, the seventh of his career. He now has 38 strikeouts and has allowed just five hits over 19 innings. He features a low/mid-90s fastball and a plus curveball that some have called the best they have ever seen at the prep level. He also adds an upper-70s change-up that has plus potential. He has a lot of deception in his delivery, which is a testament to his seven no-hitters.  link


Akeem Bostick is a 6’5 185lb RHP from South Carolina. He plays for West Florence as not only a baseball player but as a top WR as well. Here’s a rather unique fun fact he’s also committed to 2 schools Georgia Southern the former home of recent 2012 Draftee Victor Roache of the Brewers and Spartenburg Methodist College which would be a Junior College. Why more prospects don’t do this is beyond me personally and I’m sure there’s a very logical reason to do it and not to do it but for me to have every single door available come draft day is a great idea. He can go to school for 1 year or get a degree from Southern as well as play football and baseball. It’s a great negotiation tactic come draft day and all business aside it really does offer you the chance to take any avenue you feel is best which is always what I’d recommend. link

RHP Bobby Wahl w/ a great outing, striking out eight, allowing 3 H in a CG shutout road win over Tennessee

RHP Mark Appel struck out six, walked two and allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 6 2/3 IP in a 4-3 win over Arizona

UCLA RHP Adam Plutko struck out eight and tossed seven shutout innings on the road in a 1-0 win over Oregon. Pretty impressive outing.
