2013 Draft-Notes – - Jason Matusik, Frank Schwindel, Franklin Barreto, Miquel Sano



Andrew Hartwell - Keene catcher Frank Schwindel (St. John’s/sophomore) won the NECBL’s Player of the Week for the period ending on Saturday, June 30th. New Bedford southpaw Brian Derner (George Washington/junior) earned the League’s Pitcher of the Week honor during the same span. Schwindel hit .526 with four homers, a double and six RBI during the week. He did not strike out once in 20 plate appearances. Schwindel closed the week by homering in three consecutive games starting on June 28th, all of which were Keene wins. http://ht.ly/1l2odz - ... Solid start for Mike Finnigan (West Virginia--Azusa Pacific) last night. W, 7 inp, 5 hits, run, 2 bb, 5 k's…  Three Hitters To Watch For....  The following three hitters are all having amazing summer seasons. It will be interesting to see how they will finish out the season. - Jason Matusik is a 6-3/200 pound 1B from the Leesburg Lightning by way of Lynn University. Jason is currently hitting .317 in 60 at-bats. He's scored 14 runs, is second in the league with 16 runs batted in and first in the league with five homers. http://www.collegesummerbaseball.net/2012/07/three-hitters-to-watch-for.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Yankees Sign No. 2 International Prospect Luis Torrens

Anderson Cooper is Gay

Yankees Sign No. 4 International Prospect Alexander Palma

Kendall Rogers‏ - Watching the USA Baseball Prospect Class. Vanderbilt '13 commit John Kilichowski looked great, striking out CSF's Michael Lorenzen… Arizona's Johnny Field has reached base all three times in the USAPC. #UVA commit Cavan Biggio is a very athletic looking guy. Nice frame.                     

Franklin Barreto, ss/cf, Venezuela - Ht: 5-9. Wt: 175. B-T: R-R. - There are few amateurs who have ever had Barreto's extensive track record of dominance representing Venezuela during international competitions. Barreto has played in international tournaments since he was 10 in 2006. He was the MVP at the Pan American 12-and-under tournament in September 2008, then later that month led Venezuela to another title by winning the Criollitos de America title en route to being named the 2008 athlete of the year by the Corporacion Criolltos of Venezuela. He won another MVP in July 2010 at the 14-and-under Pan American championship, then last August starred at the 16-and-under World Championship, where he he .515/.568/.978 in 33 at-bats, tied for the tournament lead with three homers (including two against Team USA) and led the tournament with eight steals in eight tries.

On the day he found out they were going to make a movie about him, the first person Miguel Angel Sano told was his mom. "I'm gonna be famous," he said. He spoke with the wonderment of an impoverished 15-year-old, which the world believed he was at the time. It is not that simple, of course, in the Dominican Republic. Something so fundamental as age is often a matter of dispute. The truth is pliable in the D.R. It bends and bows, molds itself to personal convenience, buoys those willing to exploit it. It is not supposed to do such things. The truth is supposed to be the truth, reality, a rock for the innocent, but then this is the Dominican Republic, where fact takes on multiple incarnations. - http://sports.yahoo.com/news/story-of-miguel-sano-chronicles-ugly--sleazy-side-of-baseball-s-dominican-talent-pipeline.html

Can't decide if my first reaction was "so what?" or "No shit." Pretty simultabeous.

Yeah, our "Mets" readers here mostly don't follow the draft portion of the site; however, they represent over 50% o the "hits".

I enjoy supplying the combo.
