8-27-13 - Player: Andrew Summerville Primary Position: LHP Height/Weight: 6’3/185 Bats/Throws: L/L Home Town: Seattle, WA School: Lakeside Class of: 2014 Committed To: Stanford - Scouting Notes: - 2013 USA Baseball Tournament of Stars Notes from Don Olsen - Tall, long narrow athletic frame with a ton of projection left in a Mitch Williams type mold, to go along with the high leg kick delivery. Good relaxed three piece action with the extension to stay low, there is a bit of backspin off the 4S, good release. Fastball was 86-88 mph with some natural tail on the offering. The curve, 70-71 mph, has some depth and rotation with a touch of glove side break to project. He shows a great deal of moxie on the mound, good fight and willing to attack both hitters. He is a loose and projectable arm that could see a bit more velocity down the line. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/27/2014-mlb-draft-profile-andrew-summerville/
8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 49. Justus Sheffield, LHP, Tullahoma HS (TN) - Much like his older brother Jordan, who was considered first-round material until Tommy John surgery all but made him honor his commitment to Vanderbilt, Justus has a plus fastball that can touch 94 mph. The 6’-0” southpaw is a great athlete and also adds an above-average, mid-70s change, as well as a mid-70s curve that still needs refining. Committed to Vanderbilt. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
2013 East Coast Pro Showcase Top 50 Prospects - 45. Liam Sabino – SS, Blair Academy (PA) - Plays a fantastic SS and hit well, including a home run. http://www.ninebaseball.org/Wordpress/sullys-top-50-ecp-prospects/
7-17-13 – Kyle Schwarber, C, Indiana - This is a bat that will profile anywhere. The LH hitting Schwarber can flat out mash and he did that in both games, going 5 for 10 with 3 of those hits being doubles, including one deep the opposite way into the left-centerfield gap. He has a thick, stocky build at 6'0, 235 lbs. so as you can imagine, it's not a body that profiles anywhere well defensively. They're trying him at catcher but it was a struggle there for him in terms of mobility, release, and throwing accuracy. If you can get him to stick at catcher, you've got yourself quite an asset but that didn't look likely from what I was able to see. As I said, however, that bat will play anywhere so 1B becomes a legit option. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07/looking-ahead-to-the-2014-and-2015-mlb-draft-notes-from-the-collegiate-national-team-games/
