Draft 14 – Jeff Hoffman, Luke Weaver, Michael Gettys, Joe Dunand



2-21-14 – Jim Callis - Where would East Carolina right-hander Jeff Hoffman slot into the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list? - -- Roger D., San Francisco - Hoffman ranked No. 2 on our initial Draft Prospects list, behind only North Carolina State left-hander Carlos Rodon. Hoffman has the look of a frontline starter, as he can work in the mid-90s with his fastball and has two more future plus pitches in his curveball and changeup. Like most young pitchers, he can be inconsistent at times, and he also doesn't miss as many bat as his stuff would suggest he should http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/pipeline-inbox-wholl-be-top-prospect-at-each-level?ymd=20140221&content_id=68046312

3-25-14 – MLB Draft Insider Mock –  14  Sean Newcomb                LHP        Hartford-  There have been positives in Newcomb’s first few outings this year, but the command hasn’t been one of them and the fact that he’s dominating severely inferior competition hasn’t impressed scouts either. http://mlbdraftinsider.com/2014/03/the-board-2014-volume-ii/

2-19 – TTF - 10 college players on the rise - Luke Weaver, RHP, Florida State (17) The 6’-2”, 190 pound right-hander was unhittable Friday night — literally. Over six innings, Niagra failed to record a hit and Weaver added seven strikeouts to one walk. Projected as a mid-first rounder, he has the potential to go top-10 if he continues to show the stuff he had Friday night. His fastball sits in the low/mid 90s and he adds a change-up that flashes plus. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-10-college-players-rise/41224#Brkvtc4VfkP16udZ.99

1-3-14 – TTF Baseball - 8. Colorado Rockies — Michael Gettys, OF, Gainesville HS (GA) - The latest in a long line of studs out of the state of Georgia, Gettys is a 6’-2”, 200 pound right-hander who has silly talent. His arm has been clocked at 100 mph from the outfield, he can run a 6.4/60 and his plus/plus speed shows up on the base paths as he swiped 38 bases over 32 games as a junior. The power is also there, and I saw him hit a shot to dead center field that went halfway up the bleachers at Wrigley. Some have questioned his tool a bit as he didn’t have a great showing at summer events, but with him focusing more on hitting than pitching this season, I fully expect him to squash those doubts. Committed to Georgia. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-2/40753#ppGUqI6CbWFvzsPf.99


2-11-14 – PG/Florida HS Dream Team – 3B – Joe Dunand, Sr. Gulliver Schools - Although listed as a primary shortstop, the PG scouting staff has seen Dunand play at a very high level at third base for Marucci Elite on the travel ball circuit. A strong 6-foot-2, 210-pound athlete, Dunand has shown smooth actions around the third base bag with soft hands and enough arm strength across to make the deep throw. His bat steadily improved throughout last summer and into the fall, showing better fluidity in his swing. The strength and bat speed have always been there, consistently squaring up inside pitches to his pull side, creating hard and loud contact. http://perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9372
