Ian Happ http://tinyw.in/YAYW                                                   

BA

From the day he stepped on campus, Happ has been the best hitter in the
Bearcats' lineup and he's been one of the best players in the Cape Cod League
each of the past two summers. But this year, Happ has had to carry the Bearcats
lineup'there have been days when he's the only player in the lineup who isn't a
freshman. Happ has played right field and center field primarily this season,
but he's played second base on occasion, played third base in the past and has
even played shortstop briefly. His eventual landing spot defensively will cause
a lot of debate in draft meetings. Teams that believe that Happ can develop as
an offensive second baseman will likely value him higher than teams who are
convinced he'll stay in the outfield. At second base, Happ is not particularly
fluid, and he'd need to put in the work as a pro to stick in the dirt. As an
outfielder, Happ likely will end up in left field because of his fringe-average
arm. Most scouts believe he lacks the range to handle center field as a pro. At
the plate, Happ has fewer questions. A switch-hitter, he shows excellent bat
speed from both batters' boxes. He projects as a plus hitter with average
power, and he's an above-average runner, though he needs refinement on the
bases.

There are some guys who just get hitting. Ian Happ is one of those guys. The
switch-hitting outfielder was the best pure hitter for me in the draft, and is
a great pick for the Cubs (yes, I know, you wanted a pitcher). His swing is
excellent from both sides of the plate, and there's sneaky pop from the
left-side as well, with enough strength to drive into the gaps from the right.
The question is whether he'll play second base or the outfield, but wherever he
plays, he's going to hit. Another great pick from Theo Epstein and company.


Keith Law

Happ has one of the best swings in this year's class -- particularly from the
left side -- and with his feel for hitting and balance, it's not out of the
question that he has the best present hit tool of any player in this class.

In addition to the plus hit tool, Happ also has some surprising pop -- again,
particularly as a left-handed hitter -- and when he rotates his hips on time,
he's capable of driving balls out to the pull side and putting the ball into
the gaps of the opposite field.

There aren't many offensive questions about Happ -- really the only one being
some extra swing-and-miss from the right side -- but where he's going to end up
defensively is very much in doubt. He played second base and left field for the
Bearcats, more of the latter this year as he recovered from hernia surgery.
Without having seen him play much at second base this year, most teams think
Happ ends up at an outfield position; left field is the most likely landing
sport, as his arm strength is merely average.

Happ has hit everywhere he has been, and he has done so with power and a great
approach. If he can stay at second base, he's a future above-average regular.
If he must move to left field, he's more likely to be merely an average
everyday player.


Michael Baumann Grantland

Happ, a near-mirror-image switch-hitter who could play second base at the
next level. I talk about the second base archetype a lot: college guys who
are usually (though not always) about 6-foot, 200 pounds, with good but not
exceptional athleticism, who play an infield spot, get on base, hit for a
little power, and steal bases at a high rate of success. Chase Utley’s an
elite example of this, with Cody Asche a poor man’s version, and Jed Lowrie,
Dustin Pedroia, Ian Kinsler, Jason Kipnis, and a few others are in between —
 they’re players of the same species, if not the same quality. Happ is a guy
like that. (So is Bregman, but I don’t have to convince anyone about him.)
Happ is a legitimate switch-hitter, which is rarer than you might think, and he
doesn’t have any weaknesses in his game. He also talks about hitting more
intelligently than any college position player I spoke to this year, and in
February, I saw him misread a pitch, adjust mid-swing, and hit it out anyway. He
’s going to go in the late teens, and if a team is at all convinced that he
can play second base in the majors, he should go 10 spots higher; a similar
player, Michael Conforto, went no. 10 overall in a better draft last year.


MLB.com

Scouting grades:
Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55

An unheralded recruit from a Pittsburgh-area high school, Happ almost certainly
will become the highest-drafted player in Cincinnati history. The Bearcats
never have had a player taken in the top two rounds, not even when big leaguers
Kevin Youkilis, Josh Harrison and Tony Campana came through the program in the
2000s.

Happ ranked as the top position prospect in the prestigious Cape Cod League in
each of his two summers in college. A switch-hitter who's better from the left
side of the plate, he has good balance and controls the strike zone well. Add
in some deceptive strength, and he should hit for average and power.

Happ played mostly second base in 2013 and does have solid speed and arm
strength, so a pro team could try him in the infield. But he lacks smooth
infield actions, hasn't played regularly on the dirt since his freshman year
and fits best on an outfield corner.


Donnie Dewees http://tinyw.in/uo1q                                              

BA

Dewees was a three-sport star at Crystal River (Fla.) High and earned
all-district honors in football and soccer. He was somewhat unheralded in
baseball but has done nothing but hit since arriving at North Florida. After an
all-conference freshman year, a wrist injury sidelined him for most of the next
season and he took a medical redshirt. He returned in time to play in the Cape
Cod League, where he was named to the all-star team. He has taken his
performance to another level this spring and entered the final weekend of the
regular season on a 29-game hitting streak and batting .438/.498/.763 with 15
home runs and 20 stolen bases. He led the country with 96 hits, ranked second
in slugging and third in hitting. While North Florida's home ballpark is known
for being hitter-friendly, Dewees has established solid credentials as a
hitter. He has a compact swing, good bat-to-ball skills and a feel for the
barrel. He doesn't project as a power hitter in the professional ranks, but he
can drive the ball to all fields and is a plus runner. He tracks down balls
well in the outfield, but he has well-below average arm strength. That may mean
he will move to left field at the next level, which would put more pressure on
his bat. Because Dewees played in just 12 games last year, he has two years of
eligibility remaining. He'll turn 22 in September, however, and will likely get
drafted high enough to buy out his last two years of eligibility.


MLB.com

Scouting grades:
Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 60 | Arm: 40 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50

Unheralded coming out of high school, Dewees has made a name for himself in
college. After an impressive freshman year, his sophomore season was all but
wiped out by a broken wrist. He got back in time to play in the Cape Cod League
and played well in his return to the North Florida lineup this spring.

While he doesn't face elite pitching in the Atlantic Sun Conference, Dewees has
built a strong track record of production everywhere he's gone. His compact
swing, feel for the barrel and advanced approach at the plate are the keys to
his offensive success. He has some raw power to tap into, but his swing is more
geared toward hitting line drives. He is an above-average runner and covers
ground well in the outfield, though he has a below-average arm.

Due to his injury, Dewees has two years of eligibility remaining. But he'll
turn 22 in September, making him one of the older players in his class.


Keith Law

Dewees' feel for hitting is outstanding, with more than one scout saying he
could have the best hit tool in the class because of his smooth swing and
ability to go the other way. Dewees is also a plus runner who has a chance to
stick in center field. Plus, he possesses fringe-average power.

Assuming Dewees can stay healthy, it wouldn't surprise me if he became a
day-one prospect, one without elite upside but who could be a top-of-the-order
hitter and move quickly through a system.

Bryan Hudson http://tinyw.in/twTQ                                               

BA

Hudson was the Midwest's popup player, for though he was on scouts' radars, he
was not expected to take a leap up draft boards as he had this spring. A
Missouri recruit, Hudson had done little nationally in terms of showcases aside
from pitching in Jupiter at the World Wood Bat event, and at 6-foot-8, 220
pounds, he starred as a center for his high school basketball team. He's
learned to leverage his size and has the body control to repeat his delivery,
gaining confidence as the spring progressed. Hudson's calling card is his hard
breaking ball, a curveball that scrapes the low 80s. His arm action is clean
and he throws plenty of strikes, especially for a tall pitcher, with a fastball
consistently in the upper 80s that reaches 92-93 mph consistently. Hudson
doesn't throw a changeup yet, as he has dominated prep competition with just
two pitches. Tanner Houck pitched in the same conference last year and got to
Missouri, but scouts don't want to let Hudson get away, and he had plenty of
helium as the draft approached.


MLB.com

Illinois' best high school pitching prospect since the Astros made Mike
Foltynewicz a first-round pick in 2010, Hudson is an extremely athletic and
projectable left-hander whose stock continues to improve as the Draft
approaches. He's a safe bet to go in the top three rounds, with some talk that
he could become a supplemental first-rounder. Hudson's best pitch is a 75-78
mph curveball with good depth that should add even more power once he adds
strength to his skinny 6-foot-7 frame. He commands his breaking ball well,
though he relies on it too often. The Missouri recruit usually pitches at 86-90
mph and tops out around 92 with his fastball. With his arm action and
projection, it won't be a surprise if he reaches the mid-90s in the future. He
shows the makings of a changeup, though he doesn't trust it yet and doesn't
need it much against high school competition.


D.J. Wilson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8FH5g81rMI                         

BA

Wilson is a favorite of many evaluators who have seen him bring his aggressive,
dirt-on-the-uniform approach to the field every day. He's undersized (5-foot-9,
170 pounds) but Wilson projects as an above-average center fielder. He’s an
above-average runner (6.6 in the 60-yard dash) whose speed makes an impact on
the basepaths and in the field. And unlike most shorter speed merchants, he has
some strength to his swing. He shows excellent bat speed, solid contact skills
and has some ability to drive the ball. Wilson is committed to attend
Vanderbilt, and players his size are often asked to prove it at the college
level before teams are willing to cut a sizable check. But his tools and frame
draw comparisons to Adam Eaton and Wilson's decision to use wood bats all
spring helped scouts in their evaluations.



MLB.com

While Chandler Day's stock has taken a downturn, Wilson's is headed in the
opposite direction and he has surpassed his fellow Vanderbilt recruit as the
best high school prospect in Ohio this spring. Teams that like Wilson see him
as a Ben Revere-style player and could select him as early as the third round.
Wilson's game revolves around his well above-average speed. He uses a compact
left-handed stroke to put the ball in play and use his quickness to beat out
hits. His size and approach result in very little power, however, and he
struggled at times against better competition on the showcase circuit last
summer. Wilson has all the ingredients to be a quality center fielder. He reads
the ball well off the bat, covers plenty of ground, has average arm strength
and makes accurate throws.



David Berg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w1pUVXbvME                          

BA

Berg hopes to follow in the footsteps of such past college closers from low arm
slots as Chad Bradford, Pat Neshek and Darren O’Day in becoming a future big
leaguer from a low slot. However, college baseball history is littered with
many more submariners who have not lasted long in pro ball. Berg as among the
most accomplished relievers in college baseball history, setting the
single-season (24 in 2013) saves record while racking up 48 career saves
entering regional play. He also is the all-time appearances leader for a
pitcher. Just 6 feet, 194 pounds, Berg attacks hitters with impeccable command
of an 83-85 mph fastball with all kinds of sinking, running life. He also
throws a slider with Frisbee lateral action and locates it as well. He’s a
cerebral pitcher but lacks then velocity of pitchers such as Neshek and O’Day.
His track record and being a senior likely will get him drafted, perhaps in the
first 10 rounds.


Craig Brooks:                                                                  

BA

The live-armed righty, who started Catawba’s game on Saturday at third base
and smacked an RBI double, entered the tournament first in D-II with 147
strikeouts in 94 innings pitched (14.07 K/9). He was also 13th in ERA (1.53)
and 13th in WHIP (.91). Brooks, 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, pitched a no-hitter Feb.
24 against Brevard. Brooks’ frame and high-effort delivery suggest he would
should be destined for a bullpen role if selected in June, and Catawba’s head
coach Jim Gantt acknowledged that after Saturday evening’s game. The ball
really jumps out of his hand, though, as he’s hit 95 mph, and no one has been
able to catch up to it here in Cary thus far.


Ryan Kellogg http://tinyw.in/ePJ7                                               

BA

Kellogg, a native of Ontario, Canada, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 12th
round of the 2012 draft, but turned down a chance to sign with his hometown
team to go to Arizona State. He quickly found success in the desert and threw a
no-hitter against No. 3 ranked Oregon State as a freshman. But this year, much
like fellow Sun Devils lefthander Brett Lilek, Kellogg has been inconsistent.
He's a tall, big-bodied southpaw whose pitchability outshines his pure stuff. A
6-foot-5 frame allows him to throw from a good, downhill angle, and he's at his
best when he keeps the ball down in the zone. Kellogg throws his fastball
around 88-91 mph with sinking action. His changeup is his best secondary
offering, while his slider and curveball can be inconsistent. Kellogg has some
feel for all four of his pitches and earns praise from scouts for his makeup.


MLB.com

After a huge freshman year at Arizona State in 2013, it looked like Kellogg was
pointing toward being one of the better college lefties in the Draft class of
2015. While he's been effective, he hasn't been quite as dominant as hoped. At
the outset, Kellogg looked more like a guy who would pitch in the low 90s with
a power breaking ball. He's morphed a bit into more of a pitchability lefty,
albeit one with three at least average offerings. His fastball sits more in the
90-91 range with some solid life when he keeps it down in the zone. He can spin
a decent breaking ball and he mixes in a changeup that will be at least Major
League average as well. Kellogg doesn't hurt himself with walks, but also
doesn't miss a ton of bats, pitching to contact. Even if Kellogg didn't develop
into the pitcher scouts thought he would be, he still profiles as a starter who
really knows how to pitch, a value especially as Day 2 of the Draft unfolds.


Preston Morrison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhKGo1qE704                   

BA

At the forefront has been senior ace righthander Preston Morrison, who has yet
to allow a run in 18 innings. He threw an absolute gem against Arizona State on
the road—shutting out the Sun Devils in an 88-pitch complete game.
Schlossnagle said that he’s never seen Morrison pitch better than he has this
year and that he’s the most intelligent pitcher he’s seen in the college
game. Never a hard thrower, Morrison has added a couple of ticks to his
fastball, which now sits in the mid-to-high 80’s and has touched 89 mph.
