1-20-14 – PG Preseason College All-Americans – Starting
Pitcher - Aaron Nola, Louisiana
State - 2013 Stats: 1.57 ERA, 126 IP, 122 K, 18 BB, .188 OPP BA] - The Tigers
had one of the nation’s best teams and rotations last season, and it should be
much of the same this spring with Nola and lefthanded pitcher Cody Glenn
leading the charge. Nola, a 6-foot-1, 183-pounder, is Mr. Command out on the
mound, as evidenced by his incredibly low walk total from last season. From a
stuff standpoint, Nola has a fastball that typically sits in the low-90s.
However, he can get up to 94 at times. Meanwhile, his curveball sits in the
upper-70s, along with a low-80s changeup. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9294
1-23-14 - Number 28 on our countdown is junior RHP Chad Sobotka from South
Carolina-Upstate. The 6’6 righty was a four year letter winner at Riverview
High School. As a senior, he went 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA with him named the team’s
MVP. His freshman season with the Spartans saw him work out of the bullpen in
all of his 25 appearances. He finished the year with a 3-0 record and an ERA of
1.72 while picking up 12 saves in 31.1 innings of work as he became the premier
closer for the Spartans. He picked up several awards including being named to
Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team, Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American
Honors, and NCBWA Freshman All-American. http://ht.ly/2DcZH4
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 22. Cleveland Indians — Mac Marshall, LHP, Parkview HS (GA) -
One of the better southpaws in the 2014 MLB draft, Marshall’s fastball sits in
the low/mid-90s and he has worked hard on his delivery and command over the
past year. He also flashed a potential plus curveball at the Perfect Game
Nationals. At 6’-2” and 185 pounds, he is a great athlete who has been clocked
at 6.7 in the 60. As a junior, he had 80 K/32 BB over 46 innings for one of the
premiere programs in the country. Committed to LSU. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
