5-11-14  -  Bobby Bradley, 1B/OF, Harrison Central HS (MS) - Bradley hasn’t gotten a lot to swing at this season. When he has, however, he has taken advantage of it, displaying the huge power potential from his 6’-2”, 225 pound frame. Over 22 games, he has drawn 29 walks to eight strikeouts and has hit six home runs. He is hitting .340/.598/.880. He has a patient approach and his quick wrists allow him to wait on his pitch and drive it to all fields. He is attempting to play behind the plate this season but most feel he is likely a first baseman at the next level where the pressure will be on his bat. Not much physical projection left but has upside as a left-handed power hitter. Committed to LSU. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-high-school-players-rise-final-edition/42853#cZ17mE5vsjiSvU18.99

3-20-14 – Cubs Insider - • Aaron Nola, Louisiana State University right-hander: Probably a reach at No. 4, but last week a high-ranking team official traveled to Nashville, Tenn., to watch his Friday night matchup against Beede in the Southeastern Conference. http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/mlb-draft-cubs-identifying-targets-no-4-overall-pick

3-29-14 - Luke Weaver — RHP Florida State — If I had to guess one place that wasn’t raining this weekend, Rhode Island would not be one of them but here we have Florida State and Boston College playing a gosh darned full baseball game in Kingston, Rhode Island. Pitching in said game was one Luke Weaver, who hurled a one-hit, complete game shutout against the Eagles. Weaver struck out just four and walked two but was incredibly efficient, needing just 105 pitches to complete his shutout. Unlike Carlos Rodon, Weaver has been one college arm who is steadily rising up draft boards with consistently great outings each week. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-rundown-march-28/

3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - 3-18-14 – Jonathan Mayo - Colorado high school lefty David Peterson is hoping to be back on the mound at some point pre-Draft. The nearly 6-foot-7 southpaw from Regis High School suffered a broken fibula in his right leg and had surgery to put in a stainless-steel plate and nine screws two weeks ago. Peterson is currently in a boot and is only restricted by what he can tolerate, pain-wise. He's hoping to possibly pitch in the postseason at the end of the spring, though getting healthy will be his first order of business. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140318&content_id=69552214&notebook_id=69553420&vkey=notebook_mlb&c_id=mlb

codball ‏@codball  -  Kennesaw State's Max Pentecost is picking up where he left off after @Official_CCBL MVP season: .330 avg., 18 RBI, .403 OBP and a .894 OPS.

3-24-14 - While some of the top college pitchers struggled Friday night, one shone on Saturday. Hartford began its weekend series against Binghamton with a Saturday doubleheader, pushing ace Sean Newcomb's start back a day. Newcomb, ranked No. 17 on MLB.com's top 50 Draft prospects, pitched well in a 3-0 victory. In eight scoreless innings, he struck out seven batters and allowed four hits and three walks. Five starts into the season, he has yet to give up an earned run, and he has 38 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings. Pitching at Hartford in the America East Conference, Newcomb doesn't face the same level of competition as some of the other top college pitchers. Regardless of his opponents, the big left-hander's stuff stacks up well with anyone in the country. He throws his fastball in the low- to mid-90s, and he mixes in a biting slider, curveball and changeup. All of his pitches have a chance to be average or better. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140324&content_id=70012354&notebook_id=70012456&vkey=notebook_mlb&c_id=mlb
