The Home of Performance-Driven Prospecting

1^st: College of Southern Nevada freshman Bryce Harper… well, he was just doing what he usually does this past week: 7-for-14 with a 2B, 4 HR’s, 13 RBI’s and 3-of-3 swiped bags; although a lot of people are starting to talk about make-up problems, there’s just no way the Nationals will be passing on Harper at 1.1…
2^nd: Today, Auburn junior Hunter Morris was announced as the “SEC Player of the Week”; Morris finished the week 8-13 at the plate as he hit 2 HR’s, 2 3B’s, 2 2B’s and 9 RBI’s; this marks the second time this season that Morris has earned Player of the Week accolades, the first time since 2001 an Auburn player has accomplished the feat…
3^rd: With his 13^th HR of the season, Texas-Arlington junior Michael Choice tied the school record for most career home-runs at 31; with over a month left in the regular season, it’s a record he will owning outright soon enough…
4^th: UCLA’s ace sophomore tandem of Trevor Bauer and Gerrit Cole were both lights-out this past week; Bauer pitched a complete-game, allowing just 2 runs on 10 hits, fanning 13 of the 36 batters he faced while walking only 1, and has a total of 85 K’s in 66.2 IP; Cole tossed 8-innings allowing 2 runs on 8 hits, fanning 10 and walking none, with a season total 86 K’s in 62.1 IP; the question becomes, who goes first next year, Bauer or Cole? Cole already turned down a first-round pick by the Yankees, so will he do even better this time around?
5^th: UNC junior Matt Harvey was a big question mark for the Tarheels at the beginning of the year; after a lackluster sophomore campaign that left Harvey with a 5.40 ERA, the questions were reasonable; but the “real” Matt Harvey showed up this year and has been consistently dominant; the latest example occurred this past Friday as the UNC ace notched a complete-game win over Clemson, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits, fanning 15 and walking 1; for his efforts, Harvey was announced as the ACC Pitcher of the Week…
6^th: Vanderbilt sophomore Sonny Gray pitched a gem and got some rare run support from the Vandy lineup to move to 6-4 on the year, notching a victory against cross-state rival Tennessee; Gray was lights-out, pitching 7 innings, allowing just 1 run on a paltry 3 hits while striking out 10 and walking none; Gray was looking to go the distance as his pitch count remained low, but he was ejected after hitting the lead-off batter in the 8^th inning; a warning had been issued to both teams prior to the start of the inning after UT pitchers had plunked a total of 5 Vandy batters; Gray is expected to appeal the mandatory 4-game suspension…
7^th: The Citadel junior Asher Wojciechowski took a tough loss this past Friday; Wojo tossed 8-innings, allowing just 2 runs on 7 hits and striking out 12 versus no walks; it was his first loss since April 25^th, 2009!
8^th: Louisville sophomore Tony Zych gets some rare ink this week; in 2 relief appearances, Zych tossed a combined 5 innings of shutout baseball, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 11 of the 17 batters he faced; he now sports 36 K’s in 36 IP on the year…
9^th: Miami junior Yasmani Grandal continues to hit and hit and hit some more; on the week, he was 6-for-10 with 2 2B’s, 2 HR’s and 2 RBI’s; on the year, he’s sporting a .432 Avg to got with 10 HR’s and 46 RBI’s; Grandal was recently ranked #11 overall on Keith Law’s ESPN Top 100 College Prospects List (subscription)…
