1-20-14 – PG Preseason College All-Americans - Catcher - Kyle Schwarber, Indiana - 2013 Stats:
.366 AVG, 10 2B, 1 3B, 18 HR, 54 RBI, 42 BB, 37 SO - Several college baseball
coaches have said Schwarber is the best pure hitter they’ve seen in many
seasons. Schwarber, though, is a complete player in every sense of the word.
Schwarber, ranked as the No. 7 prospect for the upcoming draft, is a 6-foot,
240-pounder, who’s extremely consistent offensively, good defensively and
possesses plus raw power. With Schwarber and Travis in the middle of the
Indiana lineup, there’s no doubt the Hoosiers are expected to make a return
trip to the College World Series this spring. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9294
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 60. Texas Rangers — Carson Sands, LHP, N. Florida Christian
HS (FL) - The 6’-3”, 215 pound southpaw has a low-90s fastball with arm-side
run and there is still room for more velocity as he matures. He has great mound
presence and looks like a polished pro. He also shows two solid secondaries in
a change-up and curveball. His command gets him in trouble at times, but all of
the ingredients are there. An alumni of Team USA Baseball, he has played
against the best competition. Committed to Florida State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
12-9-13 – Pine Tar Press
- 38- OF Monte Harrison Lee’s Summit West HS (Nebraska commit for football
and baseball) 8/10/95- The similarities between Monte Harrison and the last
Kansas City area kid to go in the first round out of HS are endless. Both of
them are talented athletes who excel in 3 sports and both have the type of arms
that could also gain attention on the mound. Both were committed to Nebraska
for football and they also both had early birthdays for their class. Harrison
has plenty of upside with a cannon for an arm in the OF and as he continues to
be educated on how to be a baseball player his ceiling is certainly high. He is no different than most Midwest hitters
though as his hit tool needs serious refinement and reps against quality arms.
He has a tendency to be a bit over aggressive on the diamond and I could see
where some would see a potential diva type but one would hope that as he ages
he will continue to mature as a person too. (Out of first round- Yankees
selection) http://pinetarpress.com/early-look-2014-mlb-draft/
