Draft Notes 5-15-12 – Damion Magnifico, Brett Mooneyham, Peter O’Brien, Mike Zunino, Will Clinard

Oklahoma (33-19) RHP Damion Magnifico –

            Sunday vs. Baylor (39-11): 5.1-IP, 10-H, 3-ER, 3-K, 0-BB

            Season:  1-1, 4.01, 42.2-IP, 27-K, 20-BB

What happened to this guy? The 6-2 flame thrower passed last year when the Mets drafted him and went back to hit 100 regularly. He actually hit that number 22 times in April against Arkansas. You just don’t see this in college, especially 22 times in one game. But, why so few strikeouts? Critics say the ball doesn’t move and it’s the only pitch he has so all you have to do is time it and close your eyes. Wish it was that easy.

Stanford (32-14) LHP Brett Mooneyham –

            Sunday vs. Washington State (24-23) – 7.0-IP, 5-H, 0-R, 3-K, 1-BB

            Season:  11-G, 11-ST, 6-4, 3.57, 68.0-IP, 77-K, 33-BB

Mooneyham has had an up and down season for a great baseball team. The strikeouts are still there, but he has been wild. I like his name more than a pitcher, but I'd gladly take him in the 3rd or 4th round. The problem is he'll be long gone, from to a left coast team, by then, Projection - early 2nd day pick.

Miami (31-18) C Peter O’Brien -

            Sunday vs.Wake Forest (28-21) – did not play

            Season:  .354/.465/.677, 10-HR, 38-RBI, 127-AB, 21-K, 23-BB

This will be an interesting pick by somebody. It seems like O’Brien has been around since the sixties. He came back in 2012 after transferring to Miami and going through all sorts of legal hoops. Now, he sits on the bench, day-to-day with a hairline fracture in his left wrist since April 15 against Virginia Tech when he was hit by a pitch. I still have him as the 2^nd best catcher in the draft but I’m a vast minority here. A safe projection would be late in the first round or a possible early sup-one pick

Florida (38-14) C Mike Zunino –

            Sunday vs. Mississippi State (31-20) – 1-2, 1-R, 2-BB, 1-RBI

            Season:  .321/.381/.637, 13-HR, 46-RBI, 193-AB, 35-K, 20-BB

Okay, he’s not hittimg 8.000 like he was the first month of the season. Hell, he’s not even the top hitter on his team (Daniel Pigott), but a .63 slugging percentage with only 35 strikeouts. You’re kidding me, right? And, he has only three errors from behind the plate. I would love to see the monthly split on Mike, but I can’t find them. There’s no doubt that he will be one of the first five picks in the draft, and frankly, being a plus defensive catcher that can hit, he could go one. His tail-off in the last month of the season has concerned some scouts and the playoffs will give him the chance to quiet his critics. Projection: I couldn’t possibly pass on a catcher with this much talent. The first pick.

Vanderbilt (25-25) RP Will Clinard –

            Sunday vs. LSU (39-13) – 2.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-K, 0-BB

            Season:  6-2, 4.40, 23-G, 47.0-IP, 41-K, 21-BB

The red-shirt junior decided to come back this season and, though the team didn’t live up to expectation, he surely did. The 6-4 righty sits in the low-90s with a + breaking ball. Projected to being a successful middle reliever in the pros. Just needs a team around him (and Justin Verlander and Mario Rivera on both sides of him…). Projection: It’s extremely hard to project where a relief pitcher is picked. Most teams shy away from them on the first day of the draft. I believe Clinard will go on day two of the draft, probably late in the day.

Mack Ade's Draft Sunday

·        I’m thrilled to announce that Columbia University junior, and Saugus, Massachusetts native, OF Dario Pizzano, has joined Mack’s Mets for the upcoming season.  Here’s what Columbia University  said about his season last year:

            First team All-Ivy League for the second straight season ... started 42 of 43 games he played ... voted team's most valuable player ... second-team All-ECAC ... led team in batting average, base hits, home runs, RBI, doubles and total bases ... at the end of the regular season, led Ivy League in home runs and total bases ... hit safely in first 10 games and 16 of his first 17 ... went 4-for-5 with three doubles, three runs scored and two RBI at South Alabama ... had three hits in five at-bats, including two RBI in 5-3 win at Florida Gulf Coast ... was a single shy of the cycle at Rollins, with a double, triple and a home run and drove in four runs in 8-7 win ... batted .467 in four-game series vs. Holy Cross with six RBI ... went 3-for-5 in doubleheader sweep of Harvard with a home run, five RBI and three runs scored ... drilled a two-run homer in first inning of 6-5 win over Manhattan ... homered in each end of opening doubleheader at Princeton ... his home run in game one gave Columbia a brief lead in extra innings before the Lions went on to win, 8-5 ... in final home doubleheader vs. Penn, cranked three home runs, scored six times and drove in four.

Look for his first sometime near the end of this month, and just before he and his team travels to Charleston, South Carolina, for their first three games against The Citadel . 

·        I know it’s only February, but we can begin to figure out the players the Mets are not going to be able to draft with the 12^th pick overall in the 2012 draft:

o   Three pitches will be gone… RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mark Appel, and RHP Kevin Gausman. Mets fans can pray all they want but, barring an injury (Anthony Renaudo) or a flame-out (Matt Purke), these are your prime cut pitchers in this draft.

o   Florida’s catcher, Mike Zunino is definitely a top 10 pick.

o   High School SS Deven Merrero could possibly be the first pick overall.

o   Byron Buxton  will be the first outfielder chosen.

The + players left for the Mets to pick from are:

RHSP Lance McCullers Jr. -  High school senior… he hits the upper 90s and has a + curve… has already hit 100… has had control problems… many scouts project him out to the pen (like his father)…

RHSP Chris Beck – moving up the mock drafts… 6-3, 220 righty… fast ball hits 97, decent slider and changeup… is popularity lately could be a result of being a teammate of Victor Roache… career 4.39 ERA.

LHSP  Max Fried –  a 6-4 lefty… fastball sitting 91-92 but still has projected velo… go to pitch is his ++ curve (mid-70s and drops off the table)… projected grade out:  65

LHSP Brian Johnson – control-type lefty… 6-0,185… + 12-6 curve… fastball hits low-90s… known for keeping his fb down… a little short

SS Carlos Corea – plus arm… playing 2012 as a 17-year old… 6-3, 190… 6.83 runner… high ceiling talent…

OF Victor Roache –  comparison to Ryan Howard. Hit 30 HRs last year which is more than any D1 player has hit since 2003.. converting from first base to corner outfielder... defensive work in progress… scouts project him out as a 3^rd or 4^th MLB hitter…

OF David Dahl – 6-2, 185… serious tools… good pop with projectable increase… sound hitting mechanics…  hits to all fields… 6.49 runner… +outfield arm…

C Stryker Trahan – this is a high school catcher that actually projects out as a catcher. Big dude. Arm like a cannon. He looks like a football linebacker but can really run. Oh yeah, he also can hit. 

·        There is a new addition this month that will be one of the top 50 picks in this draft. C Peter O’Brien was cleared by the NCAA to play his senior year in 2012 for the University of Miami.  The 6-5, 225 pound O’Brien hit .304, 14-HR, 69-RBI for Bethune-Cookman and was drafted in the 3^rd round last year by the Rockies. He didn’t sign and decided to transfer so he could be closer to his ailing mother. The NCAA ruled in his favor last week and he enters the 2012 draft as the legitimate #2 college catcher.

          Remember the name because we will be talking about him throughout the     season.

·         Interesting.... Baseball America's Jim Callis said this two days after what I wrote above:

                     With the college and high school seasons set to begin, five players had separated  themselves from the rest of the pack: Stanford righthander Mark Appel, Harvard-Westlake High (Studio City, Calif.) righty Lucas Giolito, Appling County High (Baxley, Ga.) outfielder Byron Buxton, Arizona State shortstop Deven Marrero and Florida catcher Mike Zunino

Bonus Coverage...

The Bishop Gorman Gaels scrimmaged  the Harvard-Westlake Wolverines yesterday...  on the mound:  Joey Gallo vs. Lucas Giolito  

Gallo went 2-3 and threw 93-95...  Giolito: 94-96 

Draft 2012 – Addison Russell, Travis Jankowski, Blake Schwartz, Lucas Giolito, Peter O’Brien

Addison Russell — 6’-1”, SS, Pace HS (GA)  Russell has soft hands and a strong throwing arm, but his size may end up forcing a move to third base where is power is better suited. Extremely quick wrists and a consistent, easy swing allow him to hit the ball to all fields with more power coming as he matures. Played for U18 Team USA at the Pan Am Championships hitting .393 with nine RBI, four stolen bases and he hit the team’s only home run of the tournament, a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning against Canada in the gold medal game that put the game away early for Team USA. Makes the game look easy. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/top-50-draft-prospects-for-2012-25-thru-1/15694/

Travis Jankowski / Stony Brook / OF: Jankowski was a lesser known name coming from Stony Brook but he exploded onto the scene and won the Cape MVP. He doesn’t possess real standout tools but he has a quality overall game and could fit as a major league center fielder who hits at the top or bottom of the order. Jankowski does have good speed and athleticism and those skills show up well in the field, too. He’s a max effort guy and plays the game hard. While he’s probably not an impact player as a pro, he is at least a four tool prospect who could still grow into more power. Jankowski could be a nice get for a team picking at the end of the first or in the supplemental round. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2012/01/scouting-the-cape/#more-720

Blake Schwartz  RHP  Mankato MoonDogs--Oklahoma City   Blake is 6-3/210 pounds and hails from Minnesota. He was the best pitcher in the league and was named the leagues Pitcher of the Year. He went 6-1 and sported a league-low .171 era in 63 innings pitched. He made 10 starts, completed one game and allowed just 51 hits this summer. He walked just 15 batters and he was second in the league with 75 strikeouts. http://www.collegesummerbaseball.net/2012/01/top-35-pitchers-in-northwoods-league_20.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Lucas Giolito — 6’-6”, RHP, Harvard Westlake HS (CA)  Giolito has everything you want in a future ace. At 6’-6” and 230 lbs, he has the size to be a workhorse already. He has five pitches in his arsenal and can command all of them. His fastball can hit 98 mph, and both his curve and slider are already plus-pitches. He has a slow and easy delivery and makes pitching look effortless. And he stays poised and has great mound presence. With another year of development and maturing, he could be the clear cut number-one pick come June 6. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/top-50-draft-prospects-for-2012-25-thru-1/15694/

Senior catcher Peter O’Brien has been approved by the NCAA to compete for the Hurricanes during the upcoming 2012 baseball season. “Needless to say, Peter is very excited, the players are excited, and the coaching staff is excited to have a guy of his quality,” Head Coach Jim Morris said. O’Brien transferred to Miami after an impressive three-year career with the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. The Miami Gardens, Fla. native finished his junior campaign with a .304 batting average, 14 home runs and 69 runs batted in. O’Brien, who was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 2010, earned Freshman All-American honors from Louisville Slugger in 2009. http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2012/01/20/ncaa-declares-miami-catcher-peter-obrien-eligible-for-2012-season/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollegeBaseballDaily+%28College+Baseball+Daily%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

2012 Draft: – Marcus Stroman, Teddy Stankiewicz, Stephen Piscotty, Peter O’Brien

Marcus Stroman — 5’-9”, RHP, Duke  Stroman could close for most major-league teams tomorrow if needed. With a fastball that touches 95 mph, and a tight slider that can be ridiculously mesmerizing at times, he is one of the most ready pitchers available in the draft. Went 8.1 scoreless innings for the collegiate Team USA, striking out 17, while walking just one. At the 2010 Cape Cod League, he tossed 25 scoreless innings, striking out 32 while walking just three, including registering 10 saves. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/top-50-draft-prospects-for-2012-50-thru-26/15621/

http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1009/mitchell-traver-highlights-2012-texas-class  6. Teddy Stankiewicz, RHP, Southwest Christian High School (Fort Worth, Texas)  Stankiewicz, who has signed on to play at Arkansas as part of their blue-chip class, offers projection thanks to a 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame and some athleticism. He sits in the 89-92 mph range with more velocity on the way. His best breaking ball is a firm slider that has flattened in games but has tilt and late break. The right-hander also offers a curveball with good shape. As with most prep arms, his changeup needs a lot of development.

Stephen Piscotty, 6’-3”, 3B, Stanford - After grabbing Appel with the second overall pick, the Twins grab his teammate in Piscotty. With his smooth swing and excellent bat speed, Piscotty is one of the purest hitters in the draft, able to spray the ball to all fields. He hit .364 with three home runs and 40 RBI over 57 games as a sophomore in 2011. He then led the Cape Cod League with a .349 average. His lack of power could force a move to left field where his strong and accurate arm could play well. http://www.throughthefencebaseball.com/2012-mlb-mock-draft-3-0-now-with-supplemental-picks/16253/

Miami catcher Peter O'Brien has finally been cleared to play in 2012 by the NCAA, according to Hurricanes coach Jim Morris. O'Brien slugged 34 homers over the last two years at Bethune-Cookman and was drafted by the Rockies in the third round last June. He did not sign, instead transferring to Miami for his senior year. He applied for an eligibility waiver from the NCAA on the grounds that the Miami Gardens native was transferring to be near his mother, who was battling health problems. It took several months and a lot of paperwork, but his request was eventually granted this morning  http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/college/2012/01/miamis-peter-obrien-cleared-to-play/

Draft 2012: - Ralph Garza, Tanner Rahier, Addison Russell, Peter O’Brien, AJ Simcox

10-28-11: - http://orioles-nation.com/2011/10/26/wwba-2012-highlights - Ralph Garza (New Braunfels TX) – He is changing my mind about wanting to have him as a pitcher.  Always had above average stuff in the 87-88 mph range, but over his start here it was sitting 90 mph and touching 92 mph into the late innings.  He is still a bit stiff mechanically.  When he showed sound mechanics, it is the point when he hit his highest readings.  He has some solid sink and keeps the ball down in the zone.

10-30-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/10/29/tanner-rahier-2012-draft-profile  -  Tanner Rahier is a prep shortstop from California who has worked extrememly hard to achieve his position among the top ranked players in the country (check out the mydesert.com link to see how he trains).  After playing for Palm Desert High’s team as a freshman in 2009, he has opted to participate in a spring wood bat league the last 2 years.  Rahier has a short compact swing and generates plus bat speed.  He squares up with authority and projects good power.  Recorded 60 times for Rahier are 6.62 and 6.63.  Rahier has good footwork and plus range at shortstop.  He has a good arm for the position.  He is solid on the double play and shows soft hands. Even among baseball players shooting to make it to the next level, Rahier’s drive stands out.  It is easy to see good things for him in the future.

10-30-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/10/30/addison-russell-2012-draft-profile  - Player:  Addison Russell   Position:  SS/3B   School:  Pace HS (FL)  Date of Birth:  1/23/1994  Height/Weight:  6’1/210  Bats/Throws:  R/R  Class Of:  2012  Committed To:  Auburn Scouting Report: Addison Russell has been on the radar for 2012 for quite a while.  He participated in the Under Armour All-American Game in 2010 and the Perfect Game All-American Classic in 2011.  Russel is one of those players who makes the game look easy. Russel has a patient approach at the plate.  He squares up consistently and the ball really jumps off his bat.  Russel’s bat speed is above average.  He has a line drive swing with good power potential.  Russel has a recorded 60 time of 6.75. In the field, Russell has a strong arm and good range. 

10-31-11: - http://baseballdraftreport.com  - Bethune-Cookman C Peter O’Brien surprised everybody when he didn’t sign as a third round pick this past June. He surprised everybody again when he announced his intention to transfer to Miami with the hopes of being eligible to play for the Hurricanes in 2012. If deemed eligible, I think this is a genius move on O’Brien’s part. He now has the opportunity to play big time college ball in a major conference for a team with legitimate postseason aspirations. Scouts who questioned his defense and ability to make enough contact – the same questions that were asked last year at this time, by the way — will get many marquee ACC matchups to come see him play. Bonus points for doing all of that while soaking up his last year of limited responsibility in the awesome college backdrop Miami provides. 99% of the time I think players should take the pro money and not think twice (if I was O’Brien’s “advisor” I would have begged him to sign with the Rockies), but quality of life, even if that “life” is only one year, shouldn’t be ignored. Maybe this is all an overreaction because I foolishly spent my four undergrad years in snowy Boston, but good on O’Brien for taking the road less travelled.

11-2-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/11/01/aj-simcox-2012-draft-profile  - Player: AJ Simcox  Position: SS  School: Farragut HS (TN)  Date of Birth: 6/22/1995  Height/Weight: 6’3/165  Bats/Throws: R/R  Class Of: 2012  Committed To: Tennessee  Scouting Report:  AJ Simcox is a rangy 6’3/165 shortstop with projection.  Simcox has a good approach at the plate. He hits to all fields and has gap power. His recorded 60 time is 6.92.  Reviews on Simcox’s defense are all positive. He has good range and soft hands. Simcox also shows a plus arm at short.

Draft 2012: - Clate Schmidt, Peter O’Brien, Lance McCullers, Addison Russell, Rhett Wiseman

7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments - Clate Schmidt, Allatoona HS, Ackworth GA, 6’1 175, deceptive arm strength up to 92 on the day, fb was mostly straight and hittable, but has a lil giddy up on fb when in on RHH, quickness in arm action to show 3 pitches to be effective, cb and change still in development stage but can be a good one in time.

9-27-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/09/22/trey-williams-2012-draft-profile -

Player:  Trey Williams

 Position:  3B

 School:  Valencia HS, CA

 Date of Birth:  3/9/1994

 Height/Weight:  6’1/211

 Bats/Throws:  R/R

 Class Of:  2012

 Committed To:  Pepperdine

Scouting Report:

Trey Wiliams may be the top hitting prospect eligible for the 2012 MLB Draft.  Showing how much respect opposition coaches have for Williams’ bat, he was intentionally walked with the bases loaded in a game his sophomore year.  The son of former Major Leaguer Eddie Williams, he has had excellent coaching from day one and it shows.

People talk about the sound of the bat hitting the ball being different for a special few hitters.  Williams is one of those hitters.  He has an impressive swing with tremendous bat speed.  Williams has an upright stance, strong hands, and shows power to all fields.

While his bat is his ticket on draft day, Williams is strong at third base.  He moves well, has good hands, and displays a strong accurate arm.

A strong finish to his junior year (.500, 6 HR in final 11 games) and good showings throughout the summer have Williams’ looking likely to land near the top of the first round, with the top five a possibility

9-21-11: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6253 – Hey Kendall, love your college baseball reports. Any idea if Peter O'Brien of Miami will be cleared to get that waiver and be eligible this year? When is the deadline on that stuff? Who will replace Roger Tomas? Thanks K-Rog!   -  First of all, I was shocked Peter O'Brien didn't sign with the Rockies as a third-round pick to the Rockies this past summer. He's most certainly not going to sniff that kind of slot or money (at least in my opinion) in the coming season. With that said, I spoke to two sources inside the Miami program at length about a week and a half ago and they were cautiously optimistic Peter would get cleared as paperwork was just sent. You never know with the NCAA, and there's not timeline .... it happens when it happens.

9-27-11: - http://legendsoftomorrow.blogspot.com/2011/09/lance-mccullers-son-of-gun.html - Lance McCullers Jr. has pretty much hit the ground running. As a sophomore, he was throwing 96 on the radar gun, not unlike the self proclaimed messiah of baseball, Bryce Harper. Like Bryce, he's a two-way star, as he plays infield too, but its widely believed that McCullers will wind up a pitcher, like his father. Since going to Tampa Jesuit, McCullers has left behind a trail of awards and top amateur team selections. He was the 2009 MaxPreps Freshman of the Year, was named to several Perfect Game USA all star teams, played in the 2011 Baseball Factory Under Armour All American game at Wrigley Field as the only non-senior, and was named a Louisville Slugger All American Honorable mention. He's committed to pitching for the University of Florida, but don't expect him to go unless Scott Boras takes him under his wing, which is highly likely.

9-22-11: - http://www.pnj.com/article/20110922/SPORTS10/109220318/Addison-Russell-making-stops-Team-USA - The 6-1, 193-pound shortstop — who has verbally committed to play baseball at Auburn — already has developed relationships with most of the players, having spent pretty much the entire summer competing with and against them for the prestigious Team USA spots. "It was a grueling process," (Addison) Russell said. "They invited 144 draft-eligible kids to compete in a tournament. From there, they made cuts down to 40 players. Those 40 players got to stay for another week and we competed for another week to get down to 28 players. "They invited those 28 guys back a week ago, but because some of them were in football, we only had 21 kids come back. So we had 21 to get down to the final 20. The Saturday night was hectic. All they told us was to go back to our room and wait for a phone call. They called my room around 10:35 p.m. and told me to come down to their room. They told me 'Well, you're a good guy and we appreciate you coming down here, but I want to congratulate you for making the team.' I was so excited and relieved at the same time."

9-1-11: - http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com - Rhett Wiseman, Buckingham Browne & Nichols Schools, Mansfield MA, 6' 195 L/R, gamer with some bat speed, stiff back when he hits and throws, runs better underway, lack of fluid actions bother me, but has strength in his swing and throwing arm to watch again. May just be a solid college player in the long run, but worth a follow.

Draft 2012: - Daniel Garner, Tyler Gaffney, Victor Roache, Peter O’Brien, Scott Williams

8-30-11: - http://mlbdraftguide.com/1/2011/08/29/daniel-garner-2012-draft-profile  - Daniel Garner is one of the top prospects in the state of Alabama and one of the top catching prospects in the country. Garner moves well behind the plate and has soft hands. He has good arm strength, but the accuracy on his throws needs some work. His recorded pop is 1.85. Garner has good bat speed and is able to drive the ball to all fields. His power should be a strength at the next level. His recorded 60 time is 7.48. Daniel Garner has good all around tools and is well worth following into the draft.

7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Tyler Gaffney, Stanford, 6’ 210, R/R, very strong hitter with HR power, runs well for size, playable arm strength, fair fielder, will need further development to be considered a 4th OF candidate at ML level, 8-12 round type.

8-25-11: - http://bullpenbanter.com/  - With (Victor) Roache there will definitely be strikeouts, but also a good portion of patience and power. He should be a legitimate major league right fielder and has the potential to be a middle of the order hitter - though I'm far from certain he will ever get there. Its a cliche, yes, but you really can't teach bat speed like this. Even if Roache doesn't live up to his potential he should still end up one of the most coveted assets in baseball these days: a right handed power bat. When Theo Epstein traded Bronson Arroyo to the Reds for Wily Mo Pena this was the rationale often repeated among Boston sportswriters. Hey, I almost made it through this whole article without making the lazy Wily Mo comp! Given the light tower power and bat speed, you can see why teams would be all over Roache in a draft that looks a little short on elite position players. Its a shame we won't get much of a chance to see Georgia Southern's games in the spring, but I'm still going to keep close tabs on Victor Roache

8-31-11: - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/08/30/bethune-cookmans-peter-obrien-set-to-transfer-to-miami  - Former UM broadcaster Justin Antweil has confirmed the Internet Reports that Bethune-Cookman catcher Peter O’Brien will be transferring to Miami. (Link) O’Brien was one of the top catchers in the country in 2011 at Bethune-Cookman while being selected in the third round by the Rockies. He was not able to come to an agreement with team making him eligible to return to school. He is expected to appeal to the NCAA for a waiver to become eligible for the 2012 season. Last season, we had rated O’Brien was the 18th best player in the nation in our Top 100 countdown. He is expected to be on our countdown this season.

7-19-11: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2011/6/29/2250656/early-look-at-2012#comments  - Scott Williams, Conestoga HS, Berwyn PA, 6’1 1/2 195, R/R, decent arm strength, was 1.94 on pop time, showed decent hands receiving pitches and shifting well, has long swing at present with some arm strength. Must see again.
