2007

1

Michael Main Deltona FL Deland OF P 6-2 175 R/R 2007

Main is the #1 prospect overall in the 2007 class based on his pitching ability, but he still showed his athleticism despite not throwing from the mound.  He ran 6.62 and hit with power.  He’s filling out his 6-2 frame well.

2

Jason Heyward McDonough GA Henry County 1B OF/P 6-4 215 L/L 2007
Heyward took his game to the next level in Fort Myers, showing tremendous power and hitting skills both in BP and in games.  His improved aggressiveness was key.  Heyward is a tools player as well, with sub 7.00 speed and a 90 mph arm at 6-5, 220.

3

John Tolisano Sanibel FL Estero/Home schooled SS IF 6-0 190 S/R 2007

The jury is still out on what position Tolisano will play at the next level.  The jury is much more in agreement on him as a hitter; he’s one of the best in the country from both the right and left side of the plate.

4

Justin Jackson Asheville NC T C Roberson SS  6-2 172 R/R 2007

There is no smoother and more advanced defensive infielder in the country than Jackson.  He can do everything in the field.  At 6-2, 170 lbs, Jackson projects with the bat, too.  He has bat speed and a swing that should develop power.

5

Steven Brooks Wyckoff NJ Seton Hall Prep  OF  6-0 175 R/R 2007

The 6-0, 175 lb Brooks would be a top prospect with average speed, but when he can run 6.41, that puts a player at a different level.  No player improved his overall stock more at the showcase than this New Jersey 5-tool outfielder.

6

Yoandy Barroso Miami FL Miami Springs OF  6-1 185 R/R 2007

We had never seen of Barroso before but after he threw 93 mph in OF drills we paid close attention.  He showed plus bat speed at the plate and does everything easily and athletically.

7

D.J. Jones Gulf Shores AL Gulf Shores OF P 6-1 185 L/L 2007

It’s not often a junior lefthander throws 87 off the mound and that’s an afterthought.  Jones has some of the best bat speed in the 2007 class and is a 6.69 runner, too.

8

Garrett Nash Draper UT Jordan MIF OF 6-0 180 S/R 2007

Nash (6.48) was edged by Brooks as the fastest player at the showcase, but the rest of his tools play high.  He drives the ball hard from both sides and is an extra base/stolen base threat offensively.

9

Tanner Robles Murray UT Cottonwood LHP 1B 6-3 187 L/L 2007

Robles has a pro profile body at 6-3, 190 lbs and top level athleticism.  He threw 86-88 mph with a nice curveball/change up combination and should continue to improve with physical maturity.

10

Nathan Striz Lakeland FL Santa Fe Catholic RHP  6-4 210 R/R 2007

Stirz has firmed his body up to a solid 6-4, 215 lbs and has a workhorse approach on the mound.  He threw an easy 90 mph in Fort Myers and we’ve seen him at 93-94 mph before.

11

Logan Williams Damascus AR South Side Bee Branch SS 3B/P 6-0 190 R/R 2007

Williams will could move to third base at the next level but his bat will play anywhere.  He has a quick stroke that combines power and bat head skills and drives the ball hard to all fields. Outstanding arm!

12

Zach Jones Draper UT Jordan C 3B 5-11 162 R/R 2007

Jones is slender at 5-11, 165 lbs but has excellent quickness in all his actions.  He’s one of the best defensive catchers in the 2007 class and shows surprising bat speed and gap to gap present power.

13

D.J. Swatscheno Pembroke Pines FL Flanigan LHP  6-2 180 L/L 2007

Swatscheno just looks like an uncomfortable at bat for a hitter.  He throws 88 mph from a deceptive delivery with excellent life.  His mid-70’s curveball is a hammer with tight downer break.

14

Jon Luke Jacobs Gainestown AL Jackson RHP SS/3B 6-0 170 R/R 2007

Although Jacobs is 6-0, 170 lbs, he has a big time arm.  He has a power pitcher's delivery and arm action and throws a heavy 90 mph fastball with minimal effort.  Jacob's slider is a potential plus pitch with very sharp biting action.

15

Remington Wilson Sandy UT Cottonwood 6-0 180 R/R 2007

Utah features two national level catchers in the 2007 class in Wilson and Jones.  Wilson is biggerer at 6-0, 185 lbs, has more power potential and is almost as advanced defensively as Jones.

16

Timothy Ferguson Beaumont TX West Brook MIF  6-2 170 R/R 2007

Ferguson showed bat speed and power potential at a whole new level than we’ve seen before.  He’s always been a smooth fielding middle infielder with improving speed (6.8) but his bat moves him to a different prospect level.

17

AJ Regoli Wellington FL Palm Beach Central OF UT 5-11 175 R/R 2007

Regoli doesn’t have one superior tool but he does everything at a very high prospect level.  He has advanced skills both offensively and defensively, especially with his overall hitting approach and his arm strength.

18

Mike McGee Port St. Lucie FL Port St. Lucie SS OF/P 6-0 175 R/R 2007

McGee profiles best as a shortstop, with sub 7.00 speed, good defensive actions and solid hitting skills, but he also throws 90 mph off the mound and has a good idea how to pitch.  Top 2-way prospect.

19

Weston Gilmer Pinson AL Pinson Valley RHP SS 6-0 190 S/R 2007

The 6-1, 190 lb Gilmer is also a position prospect, but he showed top level pitching tools in Fort Myers.  His fastball was steady 88-89 mph and very heavy and his curveball had sharp 12/6 bite at 72 mph.

20

Patrick Johnson Conover NC St. Stephens RHP SS/OF 5-9 155 R/R 2007

Johnson is still well short of 6-0 but his electric arm throws 90-91 mph easily with a power breaking ball.  Johnson is an infield prospect who can run (6.85) and hit as well.  Top two-way DI college prospect.

2008

1 Hunter Cervenka Baytown TX LHP OF 6-0 185 S/L 2008
Cervenka is an excellent athlete who would rank near the top of the 2008 list as an outfielder as well as a pitcher.  He threw 89 mph from the mound with a power curveball and we’ve seen him throw harder.
2 J P Ramirez New Bruanfels TX OF 1B 5-10 170 L/L 2008

4 Quinton Miller Medford NJ RHP 3B 6-2 180 R/R 2008
Miller has all the pitches now with a heavy 88 mph fastball, sharp 75 mph curveball and very advanced and deceptive change up.  He should keep getting stronger and better with maturity.
5 Joey Belviso Pembroke Pines FL OF C 6-0 175 R/R 2008
Belviso is a potential 5-tool outfielder with pro level arm strength, good speed (6.9) and some serious juice in his bat.  He’ll be a fun player to watch develop over the next few years.
6 Chase Davidson Alpharetta GA 1B P/3B/OF 6-5 210 L/R 2008
The 6-5 left handed hitting Davidson has huge present power and is only going to get stronger.  He’s a very aggressive hitter who has very good loft and extension in his powerful swing.
7 Brian  Ellington Gainesville  FL  RHP OF 6-3 170 R/R 2008
Ellington was one of the most projectable pitchers in Fort Myers with a 6-3, 170 lb frame and a low effort, easy arm action.  He threw up to 86 mph with a very sharp 71 mph curveball.
8 George Bahadue Miami FL RHP 3B 6-1 195 R/R 2008
Bahadue’s fastball topped at 87 mph but had some of the best late life at the showcase and was a dominant pitch.  He is also a strong athlete who can hit with power and play third base.
9 Tyler Pastornicky Bradenton FL MIF  5-10 155 R/R 2008
Pastornicky has advanced defensive tools, including outstanding arm strength and soft hands.  He’s a 6.92 runner who shows bat speed and solid contact ability at the plate.  He’s the son of former ML infielder and current Royals scout Cliff Pastornicky.

2009/2010

1 Cooper Moseley Montgomery AL MIF P/OF 5-10 150 L/R 2009
The only present position/pitching tool Moseley didn’t show at a high prospect level was straight ahead running speed (7.39).  He is an advanced hitter who can play shortstop, plus throw 86 mph off the mound with two quality breaking pitches
2 Tommy Winegardner St. Leonard MD MIF P 5-9 165 S/R 2009
Winegardner has superior arm strength for his age, throwing 86 mph in both infield and from the mound.  He has power in his bat from both sides of the plate, too.
3 Brent Zimmerman Cooper City FL RHP SS 5-10 155 R/R 2009
Zimmerman throws an easy 85-86 mph from a high ¾’s arm slot, which gives his curveball great downward break as well.  He’s just beginning to grow at 5-10, 155 lbs and he’s going to keep throwing harder the stronger he gets.
4 Matt Watson Portland ME C IF 5-9 170 L/R 2009
Watson is a left handed hitting catcher who showed hitting ability and bat speed well beyond his years.  He’s from Maine, as well.  Watson’s defensive skills are solid and projectable.
5 Jeff Jackson Lake Zurich IL C 3B/1B 5-11 160 R/R 2010
Only a 2010 prospect, Jackson fit in very well with the much older players.  He has exceptional defensive skills and tools for his age, including consistent pop times around 2.00, and his offense is almost as advanced.
