#)/# (Round #/pick#)
1) #2 SP Kevin Haggart 6' 205 (21) RHP Ole Miss - Legit ready right now. Likely spend less than a month in AAA if that. Upper 90's FB and our scouts' rate his Sinker, Change, and Forkball all ++. An absolute horse, capable of 235+ innings every year. Comes from over the top and keeps the ball on the ground. Expectations are extremely high. Should be an ace.
2) #28 SP Joe MacGregor 6'3” 210 (18) RHP Holbrook HS (AZ) Huge arm, great body, great work ethic. Projects to have 3+ pitches with an elite swing and miss change up.
2) #30 RF Mark Cloy 6'5” 210 (18) LHB Thousand Oaks HS (CA) Light tower power with a great grasp of the strike zone. Above-average tools in the OF. Emotional player.
2) #46 SS Andy Bravo 6'2” 190 (21) RHB Bryant University (RI) elite bat skills. Does not swing and miss. + speed to go with his versatility. He plays 2B/3B/SS/LF and CF with the latter being his 'worst' position (though he could play there now and will get better). All the defensive skills to make him a standout at any of those positions. Scouts project him as a 200 hit 50 2B guy with minimal power. The perfect world sees him hitting in the 2 hole.
2) #52 RP Jake Bleske 5'10” 180 (18) RHP Trinity HS (KY) Upper 90's already with a devastating sinker. Definite potential to be a shut-down late-game arm. Great intangibles.
3) #70 SP Francisco Rojas 6' 185 (18) LHP Irving HS (NY) “Crafty” lefty. Works in the low 90s at 18 years old. Has a 3 pitch mix featuring a curve and slider that our scouts say both will be ++ “put-away” pitches when he matures. Was looking at him at #52, surprised he was still available.
4) #83 SP Nick Stevens 6'4” 210 (21) LHP Campbell U. (NC) Big arm on a big kid. A potential “horse” in the making. The biggest question is how much improvement he gets on his 3rd pitch. If a lot he ends up at the middle to top of a rotation. If not he's a solid bullpen arm in the making.
4) #95 3B Matt Chase 6' 185 (18) RHB Valley Christian HS (CA) big-time power hitting prospect. Scouts say potential 40 2B 30+ HR guy. A big-time surfer who scouts say is 'as mellow as they come”. Stanford commit.

All told we took 16 players
3 HS Pitchers
5 College Pitchers
2 HS Bats
5 College Bats
1 JuCo Bat
