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. |

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. |

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. |
|

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. |

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. |
|

Yoandy Barroso |
Miami |

Miami Springs |
OF |
6-1 |
185 |

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. |

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. |

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. |
|

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. |

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! |

Zach Jones |
Draper |
UT |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
|

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. |

|
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

180 |
R/R |
2008 |
|
Miller has all the pitches now with a heavy 88 mph fastball, sharp 75 mph

175 |
R/R |
2008 |
|
Belviso is a potential 5-tool outfielder with pro level arm strength, good
