Draft 16 – Christopher Lincoln, Matt Krook, Zach Rice, Francis Christy,Anthony Molina

draft - christopher lincoln11-7-13 - 2013 California Underclass Showcase – Christopher Lincoln - RHP - 2016 - Moreno Valley, CA -  Very loose projectable arm action, easy low 80s velocity with more to come. High ceiling. http://www.perfectgame.org/events/Showcases/TopProspectList.aspx?event=1692


7-18-13 – Interview… Jeff (CA) - Was there ever any confirmation as to what the medical issue was with Matt Krook that led the Marlins to not sign him? …  Keith Law - No, not publicly (and I won't say if it's not public already). It sounds like a disagreement - the Marlins were concerned enough to offer him 40% of slot rather than full slot, but Krook felt like they were overplaying the injury to offer him less money and figured he was better off going to school. I'm not a doctor and haven't seen the medicals either, so I don't know what to think, other than that I hope the kid ends up staying healthy. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/48502


9-30-13 - Clint Longenecker ‏@Clint_BA  - UNC FR LHP Zach Rice, 6'2, 189, sat upper 80s and hit 91 with some deception to his delivery. Had feel for offspeed. Tough on lefty hitters


9-9-13 – Top 10 Far West League Prospects - 1. Francis Christy, c, California (Fr., Oregon) - Christy stands out mostly for his size, quick wrists and arm strength. A strong commitment to the Ducks led him to campus after slipping to Oakland in the 37th round in June. As a 17-year-old, Christy hit .309/.434/.509 this summer and actually led the league in triples (five) despite his below-average speed. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound backstop has a compact swing from the left side and raw power to all fields. He employs a slightly open stance and has plenty of bat speed to let the ball travel deep in the zone. While Christy has turned in sub-2.0 pop times and is by all accounts a hard worker, he will need to improve his footwork and receiving in order to stay behind the plate. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/far-west-league-top-10-prospects/


10-13-13 - Todd Gold ‏@TGold_PG  - 2016 RHP Anthony Molina (Pembroke Pines, FL) has Kd 7 & allowed 1 hit through 3 scoreless IP. Settled @ 87-90, still touching 92

Draft 15 – Noah Burkholder, Beau Burrows, Kyle Molnar, Daz Cameron, Anthony Molina

draft 15 - noah burkholder10-28-13 – Jim Callis -  One of the best pitching matchups of the tournament pitted Marucci Elite's Keith Weisenberg (Osceola High, Seminole, Fla.) against Chicago Scouts Association's Noah Burkholder (Crown Point, Ind., High). Burkholder won't be Draft-eligible until 2015, but he outpitched Weisenberg on Saturday. He showed good body control for a 17-year-old who stands 6-foot-7. The right-hander threw 44 of his 71 pitches for strikes and issued just two walks in five shutout innings of what ended up being a 4-0 victory. Burkholder's fastball parked at 87-89 mph for all five innings, topping out at 91 mph and elicting swings and misses with its sinking life. Six of his eight strikeouts came via his heater, which should add velocity as he fills out his 190-pound frame. The Louisville recruit also threw some tight 77-82 mph sliders. Noah Burkholder inherits his height from his father Brett, who's 6-foot-10. The elder Burkholder played basketball for Ray Meyer at DePaul and was drafted by the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks. http://ht.ly/qeYJz

10-27-13 – PG Showcase Jupiter – RHP Kyle Molnar (Aliso Niguel HS, Aliso Viejo, Calif.) Pitching for CBA Marucci, Molnar had depth in his arm action, but his athletic delivery and loose arm still allowed the ball to jump out of his hand with ease. He eventually dropped to 88-90 in his final two innings, and also mixed three promising offspeed offerings: a 77-79 slider, a 72-75 curveball with bite, and an 81-84 changeup with run and sink. He is committed to UCLA. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/projectable-righties-rule-as-playoff-push-begins-in-jupiter/

10-28-13 - There were several other players of note in the East Cobb-Syracuse matchup. East Cobb outfielder Dazmon Cameron (Eagle's Landing Christian Academy, McDonough, Ga.) is the top-rated prospect for the 2015 First-Year Player Draft. The son of former All-Star Mike Cameron, Dazmon showed quick hands when he lined a Blewett fastball in the 90s for a single to center field in the first inning. He's a 6-foot, 186-pounder who continues to get faster and stronger and could develop plus tools across the board. http://ht.ly/qeYJz

10-28-13 – Jim Callis - Right-hander Anthony Molina didn't reach the mid-90s in two innings of work for the South Florida Elite Squad on Saturday, though he did touch 93 mph twice and averaged 90 mph. He's still growing into his 6-foot-4, 184-pound frame and could stand to tighten his clean delivery a bit. He worked mainly with his fastball, which accounted for 29 of his 38 pitches (21 for strikes), and mixed in a few 74-76 mph curveballs. He struck out four batters and left with a 3-1 lead, though the Dallas Tigers eventually rallied for a 5-4 win. Though Molina still has three high school seasons ahead of him, he already has committed to Miami. http://ht.ly/qeYJz
