High School Players on the Rise – Michael
Kopech, RHP, Mount Pleasant HS (TX) - The 6’-4” right-hander has been
touching 96 mph with his fastball lately. When I saw him at the 2013 Under
Armour All-American game at Wrigley Field over the summer, his stuff was
electric. He was popping the mitt with his fastball, showing great late life,
and his slider was filthy. Over 15.2 shutout innings this season, he has 30 K/4
BB and has allowed just five hits. He still has projection due to his size,
loose frame and his cleaned-up mechanics. Committed to Arizona.

3-26-14 – MaxiPreps – Mac Marshall, Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.)
- The 6-foot-2 left-hander has yet to allow an earned run and has given up just
six hits and one earned run in building a 4-0 record. He has struck out 32
batters in 20 innings pitched, including 11 in a win over Archer and 10 in a
win over Shiloh. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/kRbRSgP8z06XdyYf0_JnPg/tyler-kolek,-michael-gettys,-brady-aiken-among-senior-baseball-prospects-off-to-strong-starts.htm
3-11-14 – TTF - Sean
Newcomb, LHP, Hartford (15) - The 6’-5” southpaw has been extremely
consistent this year. His first three starts have gone as follows: 5 IP 0 ER 3
H 9 K/3 BB - 5.2 IP 0 ER 3 H 6 K/3 BB - 7 IP 0 ER 2 H 8 K/3 BB - With a loose
frame and easy delivery, he can touch the upper-90s with ease and he adds a
slider that shows plus potential. He still needs to work on his command but he
has great swing-and-miss stuff. His size, power from the left side and
mechanics will have him off the board in the first half of the first round. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise-week-4/41715#PjStmsQ7UB5h8BYU.99
3-9-14 – MLB Draft Insider - Mike Papi – 1B/OF Virginia – Papi played first base and batted
leadoff for the Cavaliers in a double header against Duke. He went one for four
on the day scoring a run, striking out twice, and hitting his third home run of
the year. In the second game Papi went zero for four with a strikeout. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-rundown-march-8/#more-3872
3-7-14 – C - Joey
Morgan, Sr., Sisters (Ore.) - Morgan brings a well rounded skill set to the
table, with sound receiving ability, a strong arm and blocks well. He also
pitches at times with a low-mid 80s fastball and can contribute at this level
on the mound. Offensively he brings good contact ability to the table with
emerging strength and developing power. Justin Hancock's ability to square
offspeed stuff as well as velocity combined with his athleticism defensively
makes him an interesting projection prospect at this position, but Morgan gets
the nod as the more advanced present player with plenty of talent in his own
right. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9561
