The Home of Performance-Driven Prospecting

1st: Southern Nevada phenom Bryce Harper added to his growing legend this past weekend as he hit for the cycle in one game, then notched a four HR game to propel CSN into the JUCO World Series; his total stat line for the weekend: 18-for-22 with 5 2B’s, 2 3B’s, 5 HR’s and 18 RBI’s; there’s no question Harper is going 1.1, the only question that remains is how much it’s going to cost the Nationals…
2nd: The only other player to log a multi-HR week was Tennessee junior Blake Forsythe; Forsythe has had a largely disappointing season, batting .286 compared to his sophomore campaign where he hit .347; scouts still like the tools and most think he will get drafted high enough in June to pull him away from his senior year at UT as the power is still there; Forsythe has 15 HRs and 57 RBI’s on the year…
3rd: Auburn junior Hunter Morris dropped 30 pounds in the offseason and completely turned around his college baseball career; a Freshman All-American and SEC Freshman of the Year in 2008, Morris’s sophomore campaign took a U-turn as his AVG went from .351 to .282 and his strikeouts nearly doubled from 26 to 50; his offseason conditioning has paid dividends and he is now enjoying his best offensive year, batting .398 with 20 HR’s and 67 RBI’s and shaving his strikeouts down slightly; Morris was recently announced as one of the 25 semifinalists for the Dick Howser Trophy Award; most online sources have Morris going off the draft board in the first 2 rounds…
4th: Hawaii sophomore Kolten Wong put the Rainbows on his back this past weekend as they fought for a WAC Tournament berth; Wong went 11-for-22 with 3 2B’s, 1 3B, 1 HR, 6 RBI’s and a SB…
5th: TCU freshman Matthew Purke remained perfect after another solid outing for the Horned Frogs; in 5-innings of work, Purke allowed 1 run on 5 hits, fanning 5 and walking none; Purke is 11-0 on the year and is just shy of the century mark in K’s with 99 in 82IP; Purke was limited to 5 innings to keep him fresh for the upcoming conference tournament; he talked about the game and “finding” his changeup again in this article…
6th: Miami junior Chris Hernandez took a tough loss in an otherwise solid outing against ACC rival Virginia; Hernandez tossed 5.2 innings, allowing 1 earned run on 5 hits while fanning 9 and walking 5; on the year, Hernandez sports a 2.94 ERA with an 8-3 record, and 91 K’s in 82.2 IP…
7th: UCLA sophomore Trevor Bauer may be the best kept secret in college baseball in regards to baseball card prospectors (recent gold refractor sales all hover around $20); this is a guy Keith Law says breaks the Top 10 in the 2011 MLB Draft and whose current stats bests that of teammate Gerrit Cole (who is the early frontrunner for 1.1 in 2011); Bauer is 9-3 on the year with a 2.95 ERA, 116 K’s in 94.2 IP and just 29 BB’s; Cole is 8-2, 3.41, 113 K’s in 89.2 IP and 43 BB’s…
8th: Arizona State freshman Jake Barrett has thrived in the relief role this year; Barrett is 2-0 with a 3.29 ERA, 2 Saves, 42 K’s and 9 BB’s in 27.2 IP and has combined on 2 shutouts; he appeared twice this past weekend over 3.1 innings and fanned 7 of the 10 batters he faced, allowing no runs while giving up just 1 hit…
9th: CS-Fullerton junior Christian Colon looks like a lock to go in the 1st round of this year’s MLB Draft; Keith Law ranks him #19, BA at #12, PGUSA at #7/#11 (2 mocks); Colon’s polished defense and pure hitting ability projects him to be on the fast-track to the show and are the primary reasons for the predictions; Colon got off to a slow start this year after breaking his ankle over the summer as the captain of the Team USA Baseball National Team (he was also named BA’s Summer Player of the Year in 2009), but has consistently produced since then…
