Draft 13 – Hunter Green, Collin Moran, Keegan Thompson, Sean Manaea, Clinton Hollon




Hunter Green, LHP, Warren East HS (KY) - At 6’-4” and 170 pounds, Green has reportedly touch 95 mph this season and will add more velocity once he matures. He adds a deceptive change-up and a power curveball with nice depth. He locates his pitches well and has a good feel for his pitches. He has 28 strikeouts over his 12 innings and now has 89 K/26 BB over 41.2 innings, allowing one run on just 13 hits. A ton of upside who could be a major steal if he is available at 41. link


How high will Colin Moran go in the draft? = Jim Callis: I think somewhere from the No. 6 and No. 10 overall picks.


Keegan Thompson, RHP, Cullman HS (AL) - In his last start, the 6’-3” right-hander struck out 16 over seven shutout innings. Over 15 starts this season, he now has 1.60 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and an eye-popping 124 K/8 BB over 73 innings, allowing just 48 hits. He features a mid-90s fastball, plus curve, a developing change-up and has superb command of all three. He is as polished a prep arm as there is having pitched for Team USA baseball multiple times and seems to always play his best in the biggest games. Committed to Auburn. link


Sean Manaea has the combination of pure power stuff, size and left-handedness teams often covet. He had a dominant summer season. But has he shown the kind of consistency scouts like to see to be No. 1? His numbers have been good: 5-3, 1.57 ERA, a .195 BAA in 57 1/3 innings with 72 strikeouts, though he has walked 20. A hip issue has impacted his performance lately. - link
