No.  Year  Name  Pos.  Ht.  Wt.  B/T  H.S.  City  State 
1 2004 Brown, Corey  OF  6'2  185 L/L  Plant  Tampa  FL 
Very interesting "04". Plus runner with outstanding bat speed and power potential. An excellent outfielder with a close to MLB average arm already. His whole game should improve and he could easily become a top prospect in his class. 
2 2004 Jordan, Daniel  3B/1B  6'2  180 B/R  Brito  Miami  FL: 
Keep a very close eye on this "04" His tools play nicely and he can mash. Appears to be very athletic and strong. One of the top hitting and power prospects in this event. 
3 2004 Schweikert, Ryan  1B  6'5  215 L/L  Brookfield Central  Brookfield  WI 
A top "04" prospect. Big and strong with good arm. More importantly, this kid can really swing the bat. He's going to hit for both average and power. It wouldn't surprise us if he became one of the top power prospects for "04" 
4 2004 Thorne, Jeremy S.  P/1B  6'4  220 R/R  Oviedo  Chuluota  FL 
Outstanding "04" pitching prospect. Big and strong with high 80s velocity with life, all ready. Showed 87 mph cutter that surprised us. Makings of an outstanding breaking ball. He can pitch. Also hits with power! 
5 2004 Garcia, Christian  C/P  6'3  176 B/R  Gulliver Prep  Miami  FL 
Watch out for Garcia. He could become a high draft down the road. Super baseball body that projects to get much stronger. Big arm and he looks very athletic behind the dish. Shows bat speed and hitting potential for the highest levels. Possible real deal! 
6 2004 Cueto, Jose  SS/3B/1B/OF  6'2  165 R/R  Brito  Hialeah  FL 
Very good athlete with projectable body. Needs to be followed closely because he could develop into a top prospect. 
7 2004 Byler, Kyle  MIF  6'1  165 R/R  Hickory  Chesapeake  VA 
Keep a very close eye on this kid. He's an "04" who runs average now, but is going to be a plus runner. His body has room to get much stronger. His arm plays very well and he has some of the best infield actions we've seen this year. He's going to hit too! 
8 2004 Rayburn, Corbin A.  P/1B  6'3  200 L/L  Bellaire  Bellaire  TX 
Good prospect as both a pitcher and a hitter. Big strong guy who can mash. Good athlete, he threw in the mid 80 range. Kind of a finesse type pitcher. We really like his hitting potential the most, but if he increases the velocity on his fastball over the next couple years, watch out! 
9 2004 Burrezo, DJ    6'2  172 R/R  Chamberlain  Seffner  FL 
Another top "04" to keep a close eye on. Lots of ability and great body. Very good arm. Big possibilities here! 
10 2004 Smith, Robert  OF/1B/P  6'3  190 L/L  Buchholz  Alachua  FL 
Another outstanding baseball body. Big, Strong and can run. We like him best as a position player because of his athletic ability. Another "04" kid to keep track of. 
11 2004 Walker, Andrew L.  6'0  170 R/R  Bellaire  Houston  TX 
Very good "04" catcher complete with strong arm and receiving ability. Excellent hitter, he's been taught well. Looks like he will hit for some power. Keep an eye on him. 
12 2004 Wynn, Tommy  RHP  6'3  185 R/R  St. Thomas Aquinas  Ft. Lauderdale  FL 
Had to leave early, but showed a good arm with an outstanding pitchers body. Very projectable! 
13 2004 Richardson, J. Ryan  OF/3B  6'0  160 R/R  Lake Mary  Lake Mary  FL 
Another very intetresting "04" with tools. Excellent, strong and accurate outfield arm. Swings the bat, he's a definite follow for the top DI schools. 
14 2004 Reinhardt, Doug  IF/P  6'3  200 R/R  Mission Viejo Laguna Beach  CA 
Another big, strong, "04" to keep a close eye on. He can pitch, but we like him best as a position player. He could develop into a big time power guy. He really swings the bat. 
15 2004 Jasper, Brandon  MIF/OF  6'2  170 B/R  Cypress H.S Cerritos  CA 
Good hitter, good body, big strong kid with a nice swing. moves pretty good, young "04". Looks comfortable at plate from both sides. Showed best from the right side. Going to get even stronger, big power potential. 
16 2004 Brezovsky, Ross  SS/2B/P  5'9  150 L/R  Barron Collier  Naples  FL 
Great "04" college pitching prospect. His arm really works nice and he can pitch. Topped out in the upper 80s and he will be even better in the future. A good athlete, the only thing working against him as a pitcher is his size. However he's also a very good middle infielder and that might be his ticket to pro ball. 
17 2004 Talpesh, Timothy J.  MIF/P  5'11  160 R/R  Grandview Prep  Royal Palm Beach  FL 
This kid does everything right except for he needs to improve his running ability. He can really play the game and looks like a professional hitter already. Keep a close eye on this "04" We like him a lot! 
18 2004 Cleveland, Charles  3B/P/MIF  6'2  190 R/R  Tampa Catholic  Odessa  FL 
Interesting "04" who can play. Strong arm and good 3B with hands and instincts. Possible big time hitter with power potential. Keep an eye on this well built kid. 
19 2004 Buckner, Tye  OF/1B  6'4  200 R/R  Lake Mary  Lake Mary  FL 
Big kid with good power potential to all fields. Stays inside the ball with very fast hands. Great baseball body. Other tools are OK, but the bat makes him a very interesting "04" prospect 
20 2004 Perry, Ryan  P/SS  6'0  160 R/R  Bellaire  Houston  TX 
Another good "04" pitcher to keep an eye on. Good mechanics and he looks like he might grow some more. Looked like he might have been pressing a little, so we think he's even better than what we saw. Very good low angle arm action and excellent life. 
21 2004 Evans, Eric  P/1B  6'0  170 L/L  UMS-Wright  Mobile  AL 
This kid is a very good baseball player/pitcher. He knows how to pitch and he's only an "04" Excellent arm action, he gots a lot of run on his 2-seamer. Should end up around 90 mph with his fluid arm action. Keep an eye on this one! 
22 2004 Schmidley, William  SS/OF  6'0  175 L/R  Pulaski Academy  Little Rock  AR 
Good middle infielder with nice actions and instincts. Looks equally projectable at the plate. Should be followed in the "04" class. 
23 2004 Whiggum, Andrew Michael  P/1B  6'4  210 R/R  Hawkinsville  Cochran  GA 
A big, strong pitcher/1B with some arm strength and a good breaking ball. We like his bat the most, this kid can hit and shows power potential. 
24 2004 Schultz, Todd  OF/P/SS  5'10  160 R/R  Hinsdale South  Burr Ridge  IL 
Good all-round player. Does everything close to MLB average. Aggressive player who shows hitting ability. "04" follow! 
25 2004 Hohman, Ty  SS/2B/P  5'11  175 R/R  Tomball  Tomball  TX 
Good infielder, nice hands and actions with a strong arm. Seems to be a talented and intelligent hitter. Another "04" to keep track of. 
26 2004 Bignall, Drew  P/1B/3B  6'0  185 R/R  Breck  Wayzata  MN 
We've seen Bignall much better in the past. He has legitimate MLB power potential. The ball jumps off his bat. 
27 2004 Scripture, Michael  6'2  170 B/R  Village Christian  Valencia  CA 
Another good catching prospect in the "04" class. A switch hitter with flashes of power potential. Has a nice smooth, quick swing, he actually looked better from the left side. 
28 2004 Ackley, Tyler  5'9  185 R/R  Lake Mary  Lake Mary  FL 
Solid build on this "04" catcher. Showed arm strength and ability with the wood. 
29 2004 Moser, Matt  RHP  6'1  195 R/R  Westminster Christian  Miami  FL 
A solidly built mid 80s pitcher who probably throws even better at times. Pretty tight slider that has a chance to be a big time pitch. He can swing the bat, too. 
30 2004 Quinn, Justin  OF/C  6'1  175 B/R  North Harford  Whiteford  MD 
Decent tools for this switch hitter. We like him especially from the left side. Line drive hitter with nice swing. 
31 2004 Mangiapane,Nathaniel R.  C/3B  5'11  160 R/R  Coral Springs Christ.  Coral Springs  FL 
Very athletic, showed a MLB average home to first with a slow start. Has enough arm and can hit. Another "04" to watch closely. 
32 2004 Schnabel, Brock  P/1B  6'3  205 R/R  Lake Region  Winter Haven FL  FL 
Big, strong "04" RHP who showed a good arm and even better pitchability. He showed a quality dropping change up and command of all his pitches. 
33 2004 Barnett, Ryan  P/OF  6'2  180 L/R  Walker  Jasper  AL 
He ran OK and threw very well from the outfield. He even showed hitting ability. We like him just as well on the mound. Good mechanics, throws downward, uses his body well and shows good command of the fastball. Look for him to throw much harder in the future. 
34 2004 Wick, Kory  P/OF  6'0  165   Winter Springs  Winter Springs  FL 
His 2 seamer broke bats. Hits line drives to all fields. Good extension and bat speed. Shows nice body control, another good "04". 
35 2004 Mailly, Joel  6'1  210 R/R  Lake Region  Winter Haven  FL 
Good catcher with better than average pop times. Good arm strength for an "04". Could develop into a power type. 
35 2004 Burgess, Alex  MIF/OF  5'8  130 B/R  Royal Palm Beach  Lake Worth  FL 
Another very talented "04". Alex is not very big, but don't be fooled he can play with the big boys. He has outstanding middle infield actions and very good hands. He will need to gain more strength in order to handle the wood, but his technique and the hand quickness are there. Keep an eye out for him.
