\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Kyle Zimmer<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

In a previous post I commended San Francisco\u2019s Kyle Zimmer for his standout career both as a student and as an athlete and suggested that he also will fall in the first half of round 1 come June, so I felt as though I should follow that up with a brief scouting report. Zimmer has […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Joey Gallo<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

Joey Gallo is a physically strong, 6-foot-5, 205-pound, CI\/RHP from Bishop Gorman HS (NV).\u00a0 One of the elite bats in the 2012 draft class, Gallo possesses power to all fields with exceptional pull-side power.\u00a0 However, it\u2019s not just the left-handed hitter\u2019s bat that intrigues scouts \u2013 Gallo also has potential on the mound. With a […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Kenny Diekroeger<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

With the fall baseball season in full swing nationwide and the WWBA championships coming to a close in Jupiter, FL, it seems fitting to discuss a prospect who perhaps has the most to gain or lose out of anyone in the months leading up to the June draft.\u00a0 Stanford SS Kenny Diekroeger is arguably the […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Michael Wacha<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

As a student of the Texas A&M Health Science Center, and in celebration of the Aggies making it to Omaha, today I will write up likely 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha, the ace of the Aggie staff now that John Stilson is injured.\u00a0 Also, a good buddy of mine from class is a neighbor of the […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Deven Marrero<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

As the Super Regionals head toward a conclusion and the Omaha field is set, it seems appropriate to introduce to our readers to Arizona State shortstop Deven Marrero, who is likely to land in the first-round and perhaps even within the first 10 picks.\u00a0 Yet, he is not even the top shortstop in his own […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Kurt Heyer<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

With Whitney graduating from U of A a couple of weeks ago, I thought I should write up the ace of that staff, sophomore Kurt Heyer.\u00a0 Heyer had a truly remarkable season as the Friday-nighter for Arizona posting a 2.41 ERA in 130.2 IP with 128 K\u2019s and only 25 BB.\u00a0 His numbers were stellar, […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

\n 2012 MLB Draft Preview: Alex Bregman<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n \n
\n \n \"2012\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n

With the 2011 MLB draft very quickly approaching, I wanted to take a little bit of time to write about a New Mexican kid not named Blake Swihart.\u00a0 Alex Bregman of Albuquerque Academy and the Albuquerque Baseball Academy, of which Swihart and Max Walla (2009 2nd Round, Brewers) have helped make famous around club baseball […]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
