2-20-14 - Nathan Rode
@NathanRode - RHP Grant Holmes (SC) threw two innings in a scrimmage last night.
94-96, touched 97-98. Conway, SC definitely on my to do list
3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock – 13 Luke
Weaver RHP Florida State - Weaver
has been very good to start the season, showing plus command and occasionally a
plus change. There are many pitchers with more upside than Weaver, but few with
higher floors. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/
2-19 – TTF - 10
college players on the rise - Tyler
Beede, RHP, Vanderbilt (2) - I’ve seen Beede ranked all over the place on
draft boards. I have had him second to Carlos Rodon for a while now, and on
Friday, he showed why. After a bit of a shaky start in the first, he settled
down and retired the last 13 batters he faced, seven via strikeout. Over five
innings, he allowed just one hit while striking out seven to no walks. He showed
off his four-pitch mix headlined by a mid-90s fastball with life and a plus
curveball that buckles hitters. His change-up was on and he had control of all
of his stuff. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 26. Oakland Athletics — Michael Conforto, OF, Oregon State -
One of the better bats available in the 2014 MLB draft, the 6’-2”, 215 pound
right-hander uses the whole field and has a great approach at the plate. I got
a chance to see him hit when the Collegiate National team played at Kane
County, and I was extremely impressed by the way he handles himself at the
plate — waiting for his pitch and driving it to the gaps with ease. He hit
.328/.447/.526 over 65 games as a sophomore with 11 home runs and 41 walks.
He’s not going to steal many bases, and he will most likely end up in left
field. His bat is what will land him in the first round. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Defensive
Infielder: Nick Gordon, Sr. Olympia
- When you combine his plus athleticism, high baseball IQ, and cannon of an
arm, he has the ability to make plays that shouldn’t be made. The added
strength to his frame has done nothing to hinder him in the field, as he stills
makes the play deep in the 5-6 hole. And while others may not have the arm
strength to make the off-balance throw, Gordon has no problem firing an
accurate strike to first base in such situations. He takes big, easy gliding
steps to the ball with range to both sides and displays sound glove work. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
