Sophomore lefty Tyler Nurdin (4-3,
1.83) was hampered by turf toe for much of the season but threw a complete-game
shutout in his final regular-season start, and he has learned to command a solid
four-pitch mix (5-29-13) - LINK
Sam Travis, 1B, Indiana - I
need to show some love for the Midwest. Travis was named the Big 10 Freshman of
the Year after hitting .319 over 60 games with 17 doubles, nine home runs, 50
RBI and a slash line of .397/.509/.906. The 6’-0”, 200-pound right-hander
reached base in his first 30 games, including a 17-game hitting streak. This
season, he has reached base in all eight of Indiana’s games to start the
season. Over those eight games, he is 13-for-29 (.448) with five doubles, two
home runs, 10 RBI and 10 walks for a ridiculous slash line of .600/.828/1.428.
Trea Turner has taken a long
path to likely top 10 pick and possible #1 overall pick in the 2014 MLB Draft.
He was a little-known late riser as a senior from a south Florida high school
that passed on a six figure offer from the Pirates as a 20th round pick. I
talked to him earlier this season after a solid game early in his return from
an ankle injury. He described how he knew he was just a physically weaker,
slap-hitting, one dimensional prospect in high school that couldn't get calls
returned from his dream school, Florida State. Some elite athletes aren't
developed when they turn 18 and especially the slim-bodied, up-the-middle type
athletes often have to add some bulk and develop physically before it all comes
together. LINK
