Dane
McFarland, OF, JSerra HS (CA) - The season didn’t turn
out as expected for the 6’-4” right-hander, He broke his hand in a winter game,
missed almost half of the season and saw his team go 10-13. He hit .281 over 12
games with a .425 OBP and stole five bases but didn’t record an extra-base hit
as his power was limited recovering from the injury. When healthy, he is a
quick-twitch athlete with excellent bat speed and raw power. He also is an
above-average runner, timed at 6.5 in the 60. Without scouts getting a good
look at him this year, he could slip in the 2013 MLB draft and be a great value
pick in the third round. If he is still there when the Cubs pick at 77, he
could be a nice pick up. Committed to Oregon. link
Corey
Simpson,
C, Sweeny HS (TX) - Over his last six games, the 6’-3”, 220-pound right-hander
has gone a ridiculous 15-for-18 (.833) with two doubles, a triple, three home
runs, 14 RBI and has drawn three walks for a .857 OBP/1.556 SLG. On the season,
he is now hitting .578 with 11 doubles, 10 home runs, 39 RBI and has drawn 16
walks to just five strikeouts over 24 games for a .659 OBP/1.183 SLG. A very
good defensive catcher, there is obviously a ton of offensive upside, as well,
with his size, power and approach at the plate. He may, however, outgrow the
position. Committed to Houston. link
Like most of the
players on this list, Ryan McMahon enters the
draft having split time between football and baseball in high school with
designs on continuing just in baseball if he goes to college or in the pros. McMahon is committed to USC for baseball, but
considering that he has decided to focus on it exclusively, you can sense that
he is hoping that he hears his name called soon enough to make things worth it
for him, financially speaking, to forego the bright lights of Southern
California. link
