Rowdy
Tellez,
OF/1B, Elk Grove HS (CA) - The 6’-4”, 225-pound left-hander has put up gaudy
numbers all season. Over his last 14 games, however, he has taken it to another
level. He has gone 23-for-39 (.590) over that span with 10 doubles, five home
runs, 26 RBI and has drawn 13 walks to zero strikeouts for a .709 OBP/1.231
SLG. A lot like Chicago Cubs prospect Daniel Vogelbach, Tellez has enormous
power from the left side but also has a great approach at the plate and rarely
gets cheated. There has been talk about him possibly being selected in the
first round of the 2013 MLB draft, but he shouldn’t last past the second. LINK
Garrett
Williams,
Calvary Baptist Academy (Shreveport, La.) - A top left-handed pitching
prospect, Williams could also land with a team as a first baseman. He batted
.489 with 36 RBI, five doubles, four triples and six home runs this year. It
wouldn't be a surprise, however, if Williams stays on the mound. He posted 1.46
ERA with 81 strikeouts in 48 innings this year. LINK
As an offensive
player, D.J. Peterson is arguably the top corner
infielder in this year's draft class. Mayo noted in his scouting report that
some scouts have seen him as the best pure hitter not just among collegiate
prospects, but all prospects. A right-handed swinger, Peterson pretty much has
it all: strength, bat speed, smarts, you name it. Faleris applauds him for
always coming to the plate with a game plan, and for his ability to adjust from
at-bat to at-bat. LINK
Travis
Demeritte, 3B, Winder-Barrow HS (GA) - The state of
Georgia has some insane talent his season and Demeritte is among the best. The
6’-1” right-hander is a plus defender at the hot corner with his strong arm, range
and instincts. He also has excellent bat speed and some serious raw power. Over
24 games this season, he hit .404 with seven doubles, 12 home runs, 37 RBI and
drew 33 walks to 11 strikeouts for a .563 OBP/.910 SLG. A high-character kid
who is a good bet to be selected on day one of the 2013 MLB draft. LINK
Ryan
McMahon,
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) - At one time considered the second best player
on the Monarch team behind All-American catcher Jeremy Martinez, McMahon has
elevated his status with a strong high school season. He was the defensive MVP
of the National High School Invitational and then earned MVP honors at the
Boras Classic with a strong offensive performance. He batted .420 with 32 RBI,
nine doubles and four home runs on the season.
