The Home of Performance-Driven Prospecting

1st: Texas-Arlington junior Michael Choice was named Southland Conference Hitter of the Week; on the week, Choice was 5-for-11 with 2 HR’s, 8 RBI’s, and 7 BB’s; Choice now holds the UTA all-time record for HR’s and single season record for walks; he leads the Southland Conference in AVG, HR’s, and BB’s, and is tied for 2nd in RBI’s; Choice leads all of Division I baseball in walks; a couple of weeks ago, ESPN’s Keith Law ranked Choice #24 on his Top 100 Draft Prospects list (insider subscription)…
2nd: Rice junior Rick Hague …was named C-USA Hitter of the Week today; “Hague slugged two home runs and four doubles for a team-leading 23 bases and a .958 slugging percentage. The Spring, Texas, native led the team with 10 RBI, 13 hits and four doubles. He scored eight times in five games and drew four walks for a .586 slugging percentage. Defensively, he was error-free in the field in 31 total chances and turned or started seven of the team’s nine double plays last week…”
3rd: Santa Clara junior Tommy Medica finished a single short of a cycle last week in a matchup against WCC rival Pepperdine; on the week, Medica was 10-for-24 with 3 2B’s, 1 3B, 2 HR’s, 7 RBI’s and 2 SB’s; hard to understand the lack of attention Medica has been getting as pertains to the upcoming draft; he plays a premium position and has absolutely raked all year; could definitely be a “dark horse” if drafted in the first three rounds…
4th: Florida State junior Tyler Holt followed up last week’s ACC Hitter of the Week award with another good week, going 5-for-15 with 2 2B’s, 2 HR’s, 5 RBI’s, 7 BB’s and 5 SB’s; back in February, BA ranked Holt as the #46 college prospect for this year’s draft; he’s done nothing to fall and will probably land somewhere in the early 2nd round…
5th: Miami junior Chris Hernandez …has been downright filthy lately; today he was named ACC Pitcher of the Week for his role in a combined-on-shutout; “Hernandez won his team-leading seventh game of the season in Miami’s 6-0 shutout win over Barry University Friday night; in six innings of work, Hernandez allowed just two hits, did not walk a batter and struck out a career-high 13 of the 21 batters he faced; Hernandez recorded multiple strikeouts in five of his six innings, including striking out five of the first seven batters he faced and five of the last six…”
6th: San Diego senior A.J. Griffin dominated conference rival Portland this past weekend en-route to his third straight weekly double-digit strikeout mark; over 8 IP, Griffin allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, striking out 12 of the 29 batters he faced while allowing just 1 walk…
7th: UCLA sophomore Gerrit Cole took a no-hitter into the 6th inning on Friday in another solid outing for the ace; Cole, infamous for spurning a first-round draft pick by the Yankees in 2008, looks to be the early favorite as the #1 overall draft pick in 2011; Cole ultimately surrendered 2 runs on 3 hits over 8 innings that saw him fan 9 batters while walking only 2; it was his 3rd consecutive outing with 9+ K’s…
8th: Oregon State junior Greg Peavey took a tough no-decision in his most recent outing; Peavey tossed 7.1 IP, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits, fanning 4 while walking just 1 batter; although he is just 3-2 on the year in 11 starts, his 3.02 ERA with a WHIP just above 1 suggests he is much better than his record…
9th: Coastal Carolina junior Cody Wheeler moved to a perfect 9-0 on the year after hitting 10+ K’s for the 3rd time this year; Wheeler allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, fanning 10 and walking 3; during the preseason, BA ranked Wheeler as the #70 college prospect, while more recently, ESPN’s Keith Law ranked him as the #89 prospect overall…
