Draft 13 – Alex Gonzalez, Jeremy Martinez, Phil Bickford, Colin Moran, Derik Beauprez

Alex Gonzalez, RHP, Oral Roberts - In his last two starts, the 6’-3” right-hander has tossed 15 innings, allowing two runs on 11 hits, striking out 17 to three walks. He now has a 2.15 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 82 K/17 BB over 75.1 innings, holding opponents to a .222 batting average. He features a low-90s fastball and has excellent command of his pitches.  link

Jeremy Martinez, Mater Dei HS (CA) - Like Okey, Martinez is a polished player who also is a two-time gold medal winner for U18 Team USA. Very good defensively, the 5’-11”, 200-pound right-hander also performs well with the bat. While the power hasn’t shown up yet, he has a very good approach at the plate and squares up well, making consistent contact to all fields. Over 21 games this season, he is hitting .386 and has drawn 12 walks to just four strikeouts for a .513 OBP. He should be available at 41, and his high make up fit’s the organization’s philosophy. Committed to Southern California. -  link

Oaks Christian HS (CA) 6'-4" RHP Phil Bickford's last 3 starts: 21 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 39 K/5 BB. Includes a no-no. Has hit 97 mph

UNC 3B Colin Moran 2-for-4 w/ HR, 4 RBI. Now hitting .434 over last 33 G w/ 7 2B, 11 HR, 62 RBI, 25 BB, .541 OBP/.783 SLG


Derik Beauprez, RHP, Cherry Creek HS (CO) - Like Bostick, the 6’-5” Beauprez can hit the mid-90s with his fastball and has a lot of projection due to his size and live, loose arm. He also features solid secondary stuff including a tight curveball. He hasn’t pitched a lot this year, so he is still raw in some areas, but he has a fresh arm and a high ceiling. He is also an excellent hitter and could be drafted as a power-hitting corner outfielder, as well. Should be available at 77. Committed to Miami. link
