Anthony is a 2005 grad from Mission Bay High School is San Diego, California. At 5'10" 160 he has a lean projectable athletic build with a lot of room for added strength. Anthony has good clean actions in the middle infield with the hands and footwork to play SS at the college level. He plays defense with a confident flair that's fun to watch. Anthony's best defensive tool is his arm strength, which is national level strong (87 mph across the infield in drills). At the plate, Anthony has a line drive contact approach with very good balance and fundamentals. He showed the ability and bat speed to hit the ball up the gaps hard with the wood bat. He likes to attack the fastball early in the count. Although he is a primary shortstop, Anthony shows some promise on the mound, too. Although he is mechanically raw and doesn't get much use of his lower half, he can still get his fastball up to 88 mph with a 72 mph breaking ball. Overall, Anthony is a first class athlete with some pro level physical tools who is sure to get lots of attention from college coaches and MLB scouts.

Williams is a very athletic middle infielder with excellent infield actions and close to big league average arm strength right now. He has very quick feet and uses them very well to maintain his balance and aggressively move to ground balls. After watching Williams take infield, we were very surprised when he ran a 7.44 60. In retrospect we should have had Williams run again. Williams is a switch hitter with much better bat speed from the right side. We imagine that he’s fairly new to hitting left handed. Williams makes solid contact from the right side and has good rhythm and flow to his swing. He took a filler turn on the mound and threw 81 mph. He has a chance to be very good.
