Max
Fried, LHP, Harvard-Westlake, CA Max Fried should make scouts happy. He
pitches as the same high school as Giolito and is a crazy good prospect. He is
6'3", 170 LBS and is the definition of projectable. He is thin and loose
in his delivery and can already touch 95. He may even gain a couple MPH as he
gains strength. That is scary from a lefty.
That isn't even to mention his impressive secondary pitches. He almost
floats through his delivery. His breaking ball is a bit loopy and inconsistent
as well but we are talking about an 18 year old here. It could be a 70 pitch,
as he commands it well. His change also flashes plus potential. A lefty with 3 average to well above average
pitches projects as a #3 starter all the way up to an Ace. There are a variety
of outcomes that could happen here but the potential for a top of the rotation
lefty shouldn't last long. I would be surprised if he isn't taken in the top 10
picks. If he opts for college, UCLA is his destination. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/2/6/2773435/2012-baseball-draft-high-school-prospects-1-5
DH Adam Brett
Walker School: Jacksonville Cl.: Junior, Ht.: 6-5, Wt.: 222 Hometown.: Milwaukee, Wis. High school: Milwaukee Lutheran Walker is
having an exceptional collegiate career. He had a good freshman campaign and
went a step further last season with an amazing sophomore campaign. He has
involved into an elite hitting prospect. In 2011, he batted .409 with 23
doubles, 13 home runs and 75 RBIs. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=6498
Hunter
Virant, Camarillo (Calif.) Virant, who could join Fried and
right-hander Giolito at UCLA next season, is a first-round talent heading into
the spring schedule. He sits in the 88-92 mph range and has topped out at 93,
and the pitch carries some late life. He has good arm speed, which bodes well
for his changeup. http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/1086/max-fried-leads-class-of-2012-left-handers
Avery
Romero is one of the top prep prospects from talent rich
Florida. Romero has a smooth balanced
swing that produces power to all fields.
He has good bat speed and makes consistent hard contact. Pitch recognition is another strength for
Romero. Romero shows good actions in the infield. He has soft hands to go along with a strong
accurate arm. Some see a move to third
base in the future due to Romero lacking ideal quickness for a middle infield
spot. Romero is a competitive player with a very strong work ethic. He looks to be a high round selection in the
2012 draft. http://mlbdraftguide.com/

I for one, would like nothing more than to see Freid drafted by the Mets. I feel as though he could move quickly due to his advanced secondary offerings and think he would be excellent value where the Mets pick.
