2-12-14 - Jason Parks @ProfessorParks - I
heard 2014 arm Grant Holmes sat
94-95 and touched 98 in his last start. Mature build; fierce competitor; ++ arm
strength.
3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock – 16 Kyle
Schwarber C/1B Indiana - If a
team believes that Schwarber can catch, he’s going to be a top ten pick. Even
as a first-baseman though, he’s maybe the best pure hitter of any collegiate
player in the class. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/
2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise - Chris Oliver, RHP, Arkansas (78) I had
Oliver ranked at 78 in my top-100 prospects list. After his first start, he
should be moving up. Working mostly out of the pen his first two years, the
6’-4”, 185 pound right-hander allowed just one run on one hit over five innings
on Saturday. He struck out five to no walks in picking up the win against
Appalachian State. His fastball can touch 97 mph and he adds a mid-80s power
slider. With his size, easy delivery and stuff, you should hear a lot about him
going forward. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 16. Arizona Diamondbacks — Bradley Zimmer, OF, San Francisco - With
so much pitching in their system, the D-backs can grab one of the higher upside
guys in the 2014 MLB draft. The younger brother of Royals top prospect Kyle
Zimmer, Bradley is a 6’-5” right-hander with plus speed and developing power.
Over 58 games as a sophomore, he hit .320/.437/.512 with 12 doubles, seven home
runs and stole 19 bases. He also shows a great approach at the plate as he drew
29 walks to 31 strikeouts and was hit by a pitch a whopping 16 times, proving
he’ll do whatever it takes to get on base. He showed off his wheels for the
Collegiate National Team, swiping 11 of 12 bases over 21 games while also
hitting an even .300. His speed and plus arm should allow him to remain in
center field at the next level.
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Defensive
Outfielder: Carl Chester, Sr. Lake
Brantley - Carl Chester is the complete package in center field. Being a plus
runner, Chester gets a quick first step on the ball, and is able to cover a
vast amount of real estate. He glides easily to the ball with clean fielding
actions. On top of those tools, Chester owns a strong arm, something not
commonly associated with fleet-footed center fielders. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
