Draft 13 – Rowdy Tellez, Garrett Williams, D.J. Peterson, Travis Demeritte, Ryan McMahon

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.  LINK

Draft 13 – Corey Ray, Travis Demeritte, Suart Turner, Hunter Renfroe

The Midwest, especially Chicago, doesn’t get a whole lot of attention when it comes to high school baseball. But every once in awhile, a player demands the attention. Such is the case this year for Corey Ray, a top 2013 MLB draft prospect for Simeon Academy, located in Chicago’s South Side. The 5’-11”, 190-pound left-hander led his team to back-to-back city titles this season. He was an absolute beast down the stretch, hitting .513 over his final 13 games with four doubles, five triples, three home runs, 19 RBI and 16 stolen bases. Corey Ray is a quick-twitch athlete who can play all three outfield spots due to his instincts, strong arm and speed. At the plate, he has excellent bat speed and can spray the ball to all fields.  TEST

Travis Demeritte, Winder-Barrow (Winder, Ga.) - Demeritte has appeared as a first round pick in several mock drafts, but he will likely end up going somewhere in round 2-5. He is considered the top third baseman at the prep level and he possesses a strong arm and good range to go with power at the plate. He batted .404 this season with 37 RBI, seven doubles and 12 home runs. He also pitched and was 8-1 with a 0.69 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 50.2 innings pitched. TEST

Stuart Turner, University of Mississippi - Although Turner is projected to be taken in the second round (or later), the Ole Miss backstop has been one of, if not the best catchers in college baseball this spring. Turner has been highly underrated by analysts and scouts this spring, as he has led the Ole Miss offense with a .381 batting average and 50 RBI in 59 games. He possesses a clean, easy swing and has excellent bat control, displaying maturity and poise in the batter’s box. Behind the plate, Turner has plus game management skills and a strong arm, but needs to work slightly on refining both is offensive and defensive mechanics. Turner should project to be an everyday catcher at the next level due to his intelligence of the game, and should be a huge steal come draft day. TEST

RF Hunter Renfroe – Mississippi State - For most of the season, Hunter Renfroe was among the top hitters in the SEC, hitting over .400 and totaling 15 home runs and 54 RBI. However, a recent slump has dipped his average over 50 points. For the Bulldogs to get out of their regional and keep their College World Series hopes alive, they need Renfroe to start swinging a hot bat. TEST
