2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise - Matt Imhof, LHP, Cal Poly (51) - A guy
I was hoping the Chicago Cubs could potentially target with their second-round
pick, the 6’-5”, 220 pound southpaw may not last past the first round if he
pitches the way he did against 18th ranked Kansas State on Friday. Over seven
shutout innings, he allowed just two hits while striking out a career high 14
to three walks. His fastball sits in the 89-92 mph range and can touch 94 due
to his smooth, effortless delivery. He adds solid secondary stuff and knows how
to mix his pitches well. Imhof will be just 20 years old come draft day, making
him one of the youngest collegiate players available. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99
3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock – 18 Braxton
Davidson OF/1B TC Roberson HS (N.C.)
- Davidson was outstanding over
the summer, and less so over the fall. How he preforms this spring —
particularly at the NHSI this next week — will be very big for him and his
stock. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/
2-23-14 - Coral Springs Christian Academy catcher Benito Santiago wakes up every day and
tells his mother, Carmen Miranda, that he loves her. His father and namesake —
the former big-league catcher — hasn’t been involved in his life in years, but
that hasn’t stopped Santiago from becoming a top prospect. Santiago, a 5-10,
175-pound senior, has a scholarship to the University of Tennessee, and CSCA
coach Matt Cleveland said scouts have told him his catcher should get selected
in the first eight rounds in June’s MLB Draft. http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/02/21/3949941/coral-springs-christian-academy.html#storylink=cpy
1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 42. Miami Marlins — Alex Verdugo, LHP/OF, Sahuaro HS (AZ) -
One of the better two-way talents available in the 2014 MLB draft, the 6’-1”
left-hander has a tough decision on his hands as he excels as both a hitter and
pitcher. He can touch 93 mph with his fastball and also adds solid secondaries
with a mid-70s curveball and an upper-70s change-up. He has great bat speed and
shows raw power. Over 93 at-bats as a junior, he hit .484 with seven home runs,
stole 24 bases and drew 25 walks to just three strikeouts. On the mound, he
struck out 130 over 65 innings. Committed to Arizona State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99
2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – Best Outfield Arm: Justin Smith, Sr. Bartram Trail - Smith
has shown big arm strength from the outfield since the Junior National Showcase
in 2011 and it plays very well in right field in game action. He gets on top of
his throws, allowing the ball to travel in a straight line to the intended
target with no tail. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
