Draft 13 – Ivan Wilson, Dustin Peterson, Cord Sandberg, Matt Vogel, Sean Manaea




Ivan Wilson, OF, Ruston HS (LA) - A 6’-3”, 220 pound right-hander with above-average speed (6.6/60) and raw power, Wilson uses his quick, strong wrists to drive the ball to all fields and has shown a good approach at the plate this season. Over his last 10 games, he is hitting .424 with four doubles, four home runs, 15 RBI and has drawn six walks for a .548 OBP/1.030 SLG. His speed and strong arm would play well in a corner outfield spot and his bat would justify it. He may not be around at 77, but if he is, the Cubs should take a serious look. link


Dustin Peterson, SS, Gilbert HS (AZ) - The younger brother of projected 2013 MLB first-round pick D.J. Peterson of New Mexico, Dustin may have the higher upside as he may be able to stick at shortstop. The 6’-2” right-hander has soft hands, great instincts and above-average speed. He also has the arm to move to third if he can’t handle short and his bat would play very well at the hot corner. Over 26 games this season, he is hitting .549/.579/1.195 with 11 doubles, six triples, 10 home runs, 39 RBI and has only struck out five times. He has also gone 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts. link


Committed to Mississippi State as a quarterback, Cord Sandberg certainly sounds like he wants to go the football route. He raved about the SEC after committing to the Bulldogs, telling 247Sports.com (via Sporting News) this is where he wanted to end up: "I’ve always wanted to play in the SEC. And I love Coach (Dan) Mullen’s offense and how he develops quarterback. So I knew for a while now where I wanted to go and it was an exciting day. Coach Mullen was pretty excited, too, when I told him." link


Dan Kirby ‏ - @DanMKirby  - Medford HS (NY) RHP Matt Vogel has 64 K/15 BB, 9 H over 29 IP (19.9 K/9) On 4/23 went 7 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 20 K/1 BB and hit 3-R HR


5-10 Final Line for Sean Manaea: 7 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 11 SO, 100 pitches, 71 strikes
