5-11-14 - Alex Verdugo, LHP/OF, Sahuaro HS (AZ) - Like Destino, Verdugo is a terrific athlete and two-way player. His upside seems higher on the mound where the 6’-1”, 200 pound left-hander has one of the best curveballs in his class with late bite and power. His fastball sits 89-92 mph and he should add more velocity if he continues to work full time as a pitcher. He adds a solid change-up to round out a three-pitch mix. Offensively, he has an advanced approach at the plate and plus bat speed that generates a lot of power from the left side. Through 27 games, he is hitting .550/.608/.925 with 17 doubles, three home runs and 13 stolen bases. He has drawn 15 walks to just three strikeouts. On the mound, he has 86 K/25 BB over 48.1 innings, allowing 13 runs on 27 hits. Because of his upside, he could go on day one. Committed to Arizona State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-high-school-players-rise-final-edition/42853#cZ17mE5vsjiSvU18.99

of the earliest names we learn about in particular draft classes seem to be the
hardest throwers. They are the easiest to spot and word seems to get around. At
this time last year, Michael Cederoth was one of those names we knew about it.
While a still very powerful and high upside arm, we’ve learned that while he
can hit triple digits with his fastball, he’s also going to be somewhat of a
project at the professional level. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9625
3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - 3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - Chad Sobotka, from the University of
South Carolina-Upstate, will not pitch this season thanks to a fractured
vertebra in his back. He'll make a full recovery, but not in time to pitch
collegiate ball this spring. Upstate head coach Matt Fincher didn't sound like
a guy who expected to have his ace back for another year. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?
3-19-14 – TTF – Mac
James, C, Oklahoma (NR) - The biggest surprise this year in college
baseball has been James. After getting just nine at-bats as a sophomore, the
6’-1”, 200 pound right-hander has been taking advantage of every one this year
by absolutely mashing the baseball. Over 20 games, he is hitting .459/.512/.662
with nine doubles and two home runs, and he has struck out only twice. He is
drawing rave reviews for his receiving skills and is another guy who should
benefit from this year’s lack of catching prospects. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise-week-5/41905#JeRjl1lAwHFUPJlv.99
