Others who received votes for top 30 in alphabetical order
Grad Name Pos. Ht. Wt. B/T H.S. City St.  
2003 Butler, Josh  RHP  6'4  180 R/R  San Ramon Valley  Danville  CA   
Butler is extremely projectable with his size and arm action. He's fairly athletic and there's little doubt that he's going to get much better. He topped at 87 in Tropicana, but we've seen him much better. He gets good running life on his heater and flashes a potential plus breaking ball. He could easily end up being a high pick by next June. 
2003 Dahlen, Case  P/OF/1B  6'4  200 R/L  Peninsula  Palos Verdes  CA   
Dahlen is a very good athlete and when he's right he's one of the best LHP prospects in the country. We've seen him throw in the 90s before, so the mid 80s he topped out at in Tropicana needs to be over looked a bit. His breaking ball and pitching ability still made him near impossible to hit. Hopefully he is 100% healthy, if he is, he's one of the best and an easy 10. 
2003 Downs, Darin  LHP  6'3  176 R/L  Santaluces  Boynton Beach  FL   
Downs is the guy you put on the mound when you need to win a big game. This kid can really pitch. We've seen his velocity better in the past, but with him velocity is an after thought. I'm sure he's been hit before, but we have yet to see a hitter have a good AB against him. He is thin and projects out of site with good arm action. He throws all his pitches around the zone. He is going to throw 90 or better. 
2003 Freeman, Patrick  RHP  6'1  190 R/R  Key West  Key West  FL   
Freeman is a strong athlete with a definite power arm. He throws in the low 90s fairly easily and gets some exposive life at times. He needs to develop his breaking ball, but he shows an outstanding changeup. Seems to have real good command. He also swings the bat very well, but his future with that arm is on the mound. 
2003 McCulloch, Kyle R.  SS/P  6'2  170 R/R  Bellaire  Houston  TX   
McCulloch is a good athlete with plenty of projection. He does everything well, but his arm still stands out the most. Comparable to Clint Everts in ability and size. He's a good shortstop complete with actions, leather and arm. He flashes power potential and has a nice short stroke. He is especially interesting on the mound. Throws 90 or better out of a solid delivery and fast arm. Both the breaking ball and change have big time potential. Definitely a kid to keep a close eye on. He should end up throwing with even more velocity. 
FA  Moreno, Omar  OF  6'1  190 B/L  N/A N/A DR   
Big time player with tools. Good switch hitter, plus arm , plus speed, etc. Needs to be playing pro ball right now. 
2003 Mulligan, Nolan  P/OF  6'5  180 B/R  Chaminade-Madonna  Hollywood  FL   
Mulligan could easily end up being a high draft pick. He has the size and arm that will stir up a lot of interest. He topped out at 91 at Tropicana, but there's even more in him. The breaking ball looks very promising. He has a fast arm. Throws just a little across his body. That is the biggest concern. 
2003 Ojeda, Juan  MIF  5'10  165 R/R  Bishop Moore  Winter Park  FL   
Ojeda is not a big guy, but he can play and he has the raw tools to play at the very highest levels. He has a strong arm and outstanding instincts in the infield. He runs extremely well and uses it on the bases. He can hit! He hit several line drives hard against top pitching at Tropicana. There is very little this kid can't do on a baseball field. 
2003 Olvey, Derik L.  P/1B  6'4  210 R/R  Hueytown  Hueytown  AL   
Olvey is a big guy with a power arm. He threw a lot of 90-91 in Tropicana and he's been up as high as 94 before. He shows a good big breaking bender. He should end up with a plus hard slider in time. For a power type thrower he shows great mound presence and poise. Definitely a guy who needs to be followed closely. He could move right up the list by next June. 
2003 Perales, Daniel B.  OF  6'0  170 L/L  Mater Dei  Orange  CA   
Perales shows good tools across the board. He has a strong accurate throwing arm. #1 tool is his bat, this kid has a nice approach and a great swing. Line drives jump off the wood and he flashes very surprising power. He has room to get bigger and stronger. Pro type hitter with a bright future in college or pro ball. 
2003 Taborelli, Ty J.  OF  6'2  170 L/R  Vivian Gaither  Tampa  FL   
Taborelli is a lean built outstanding athlete with MLB tools. He's a plus runner who looks real good 1st to 3rd. He flashes excellent power potential and should end up hitting a lot of long balls. He could make some adjustments in his swing that would take him to the top of his class. He doesn't seem to get a good weight transfer and use his bottom half as much as he could. His arm is at least MLB average and his whole game will get better yet, once he gains more strength. 
2003 Totesault, Edwin  MIF  6'0  160 B/R  Brito  Miami  FL   
Totesault gets better every time we see him. Outstanding MLB infield actions and a very strong arm. He's a plus runner with the instincts to be a big base stealer. He flashes line drive hitting ability and puts the ball in play against top pitching. An aggressive fielder/runner who will hit. As he gets bigger and stronger watchout! 
Others who received votes for top 50 in alphabetical order 
2003 Arif, Omar  P/OF/1B  6'0  180 L/L  Poteet  Mesquite  TX   
Arif is a lefty that we are fairly high on. We've seen him a bit better than he was at Tropicana. On this day he threw mostly 86-87 with late life. His breaking ball was very good one with late bite. He has a nice compact delivery that makes him sound mechanically. Can hit a little too! Definite DI power school prospect. 
2003 Bajger, Dan  RHP  6'1  185 R/R  Olympic Heights  Boca Raton  FL   
We've seen Bajger throw in the 90s before. His fastball shows explosiveness at times. Very quick arm and good leverage make it all look fairly simple. He has a good breaking ball, but will probably need to speed it up just a little. The changeup looks outstanding at times, dropping and running away. 
2003 Blake, Joshua C.  LHP  6'4  185 L/L  Blue Valley West  Overland Park  KS   
Blake projects nicely with a good arm and MLB pitchers body. At Tropicana he topped out in the upper 80s with a decent breaking ball and changeup. His fastball showed some nice run. He looked just a little stiff and maybe too mechanical in his delivery. Good athlete and someone to watch closely. Very good bloodlines! 
2003 Cash, David  SS/2B  6'3  170 B/R  Sickles  Odessa  FL   
Cash is the son of former big league infielder Dave Cash. Young Cash has a chance to develop into a top prospect. He runs well, but looks bad doing it. He throws well and moves very much like a big leaguer. We really like his hitting potential the most. He is no where close to being physically mature yet. As he gets stronger he should develop more power and turn into one giant hitting prospect. Not sure which position, but that bat will get him places. 
2003 Corrado, Craig  MIF/3B  6'3  170 B/R  Tampa Catholic  Tampa  FL   
Corrado is a good athlete who showed everyone at Tropicana he can play shortstop with the best of them. A nice loose, very strong arm and good infield actions. Plays for keeps! We liked him even better at the plate. His home to first times were better than his 6.9 60 time. A switch hitter, good both ways, he hit a lot of line shots off the top pitchers there. Can play at any level and has a pro future. 
2003 Dykehouse, Clint  P/OF  6'2  180 R/R  Oak Hall  Gainesville  FL   
Both Clint and Robert are outstanding athletic baseball players with good baseball bodies. Both run extremely well and Clint especially has a big arm. He has a chance to be a big time pitcher or position player. Both are legitimate high caliber prospects. 
2003 Eckardt, Matthew C.  P/1B  6'4  215 R/R  Milton  Alpharetta  GA   
Eckardt is a big P/1B with a strong arm and good raw power. We like his hitting potential a lot, but his future could be on the hill. He showed upper 80s velocity on a heavy fastball. His breaking ball is very promosing and his changeup is excellent. His arm speed is very good, but he does throw with some tension. If he adds a couple clicks on the fastball, he could be a good draft pick. 
2003 Eddy, M. Tyler  RHP  6'2  188 R/R  Hartselle  Hartselle  AL   
Eddy's fastball was mostly 86-88, but it has much more potential. He can pitch and he goes right after hitters. Looks like he throws both curve and slider. The slider is a potential plus pitch and very sharp. The curve ball has a big break in the low 70s. He is capable of pitching at the very top levels. 
2003 Gonzalez, Dylan  RHP  6'3  175 B/R  American Heritage  Weston  FL   
Gonzalez has a slow, lean back, deliberate delivery. His arm works very loose, fast and easy. He shows a nice change and good command of all his pitches including a 90 mph heater with life. Good body, he projects to keep getting better. Could end up being a top draft or at the very least a top college prospect. 
2003 Griffith, Stephen  P/3B  6'3  205 R/R  Kamiak  Mukitteo  WA   
Griffith could best be described as a power player/pitcher. He's very strong and can really swing the bat. He's an aggressive hitter with a short, quick stroke that provides outstanding bat speed. We like him on the mound where were sure the 88 mph he threw in Tropicana was far from his best. Breaking ball showed promise and he threw a nice changeup. As a hitter or especially as a pitcher, he will end up being very good at the highest levels. 
2003 Hernandez, Willy  OF  6'0  190 B/R  Champagat Catholic  Miami  FL   
Hernandez is a power type athlete who runs fairly well. He has one of the best outfield arms in high school baseball. He has a fast bat that produces the long ball. He has a stocky well built sturdy body with big legs. The power comes from those strong legs. He is one of those guys you need to watch closely or you might miss his outstanding talent. 
2003 Hudspeth, Casey  RHP  6'0  160 R/R  Sarasota  Sarasota  FL   
Hudspeth is not a big guy, but he possesses a powerful arm. His arm works freely and is extremely quick. He throws right around 90 and he has a good breaking ball around 75 mph. Definitely a big time college prospect at the very least. 
2003 Incaviglia, Thomas C.  1B/OF/P  6'3  175 B/L  Salinas  Salinas  CA   
Incaviglia is a good athlete with a projectable body. He's a good defensive 1B who looks like a top level hitter. A switch hitter, we like him a bit better from the left side. He's very aggressive and has a beautiful swing. He will hit with lots of power as he gets bigger and stronger. Looks like a potential big league hitter. 
2003 Johnson, Chris  SS  6'3  185 R/R  Boshop Verot  Ft. Myers  FL   
Johnson is a good looking player with a plus body and some serious tools. He has a nice smooth swing, but needs to shorten it up a little for the next level. He plays shortstop now, but he looks like he could do well at nearly any position on the field. 
2003 Knox, Andrew  RHP  6'4  187 R/R  Bishop Verot  Ft. Myers  FL   
Keep an eye on Knox! He has the right body, arm and pitching ability to make himself a very good draft pick next June. He showed high 80 velocity at Tropicana, but he's going to throw harder than that. He has a good feel and command of three pitches. Perhaps the only knock would be he's a bit slow to the plate (easy to run on). Of course that will be improved in time. 
2003 Konecny, William S.  P/OF  6'3  190 R/R  Downingtown  Downingtown  PA   
Konecny is a good looking RHP complete with size and MLB fastball. He shows a long, loose arm and athleticism. His slider could end up being a plus pitch. Brings a lot to the table and could go pretty good next June. He does have a tendency to over-stride at times causing him to throw high. 
2003 Land, Lee D.  3B/P  6'2  210 R/R  Riverside  Rougemont  NC   
Land is a strong RHP who we like as a 3B. Unfortunately he could only make a token appearance at Tropicana due to other commitments. He showed three MLB average type pitches. An upper 80s heater, a good sharp breaking curve ball and a nice changeup. We really like his bat and power potential. 
2003 Laporta, Matt  6'2  205 R/R  Charlotte  Port Charlotte  FL   
Laporta is a big strong catcher who showed a strong arm and quick transfer. Good receiver who could improve his lateral technique a bit. Looks like there's some serious power potential here. Could get a little looser at the plate. We would like to see him attack the ball a little more, using his strength. 
2003 Leach, Landon  C/P  6'2  192 B/R  Russellville  Russellville  AR   
Leach is a good athlete in a MLB body. He's a pitcher/catcher and his future is probably behind the plate. Good switch hitter with big power potential. We really like his swing from the left side. Creates bat speed and the ball jumps off his bat. Very strong arm, but could be a bit quicker with transfer. Bat, arm and body could take him to the top. 
2003 Lewis, Kenneth  OF  5'9  180   George Washington  Danville  VA   
Lewis is a little raw, but he has some serious ability. A speedster who can use his speed on the bases. He has a more than playable arm and flashes power potential. Quick bat, he's going to hit and his home to first times grade out a 7. Big time base stealing potential and very aggressive. Could be a big surprise next June. 
2003 Linder, Matthew  P/OF  6'5  190 R/R  Hammarskjold  Thunder Bay  ONT   
Linder is an extremely projectable big right-hander. He is athletic and his arm works very well. He topped at 89 in Tropicana and we think he is no where near his potential. His slider looks very good and his change shows promise. This kid is a big time prospect in waiting. It's possible he could develop into a high pick by June. If not he can pitch at the highest levels of College and go pro later on. 
2003 Malone, Ryne P.  SS  5'11  175 L/R  P.K.Yonge  Gainesville  FL   
Malone has to be considered one of the top college prospects out there. He can play the game at the highest level. A good runner with excellent infield actions and an outstanding line drive hitter. One of the best fundamental hitters in the nation. Malone is going to play pro baseball and he will be successful, but he may need to tear up the college game first. 
2003 Morris, Josh  OF/3B/1B/P  6'5  230 R/R  Cartersville  Cartersville  GA   
Morris has a ton of ability and great strength. He's a power type athlete that runs close to MLB average and throws MLB above average. His future will be determined by just how far and how often he hits the long ball. He has a quiet approach, but creates great bat speed with a quick trigger. The wood makes a much different sound off his bat than the others who were in Tropicana. A sharp loud crack of the bat. The ball jumps! 
2003 Muldowney, William B.  3B/P/C  6'1  190 R/R  West Chester East  West Chester  PA   
Muldowney is an excellent player/hitter with outstanding power potential. To us he is an even better pitching prospect, that we've seen as high as 92 mph. He also features a potential plus sharp breaking ball. Definetly a 2-way guy at the highest levels of college ball. Could end up with a long pro career. Plays the game with respect and talent. 
2003 Pardo, Luis  RHP  6'5  205 R/R  Westminster Christian  Miami  FL   
Very projectable, athletic type body. Good looking arm action. He gets himself a bit off balance at times, but still gets it up there easily in the high 80s. No question, that in time he will live in the 90+ range. The breaking ball shows promise. He seems to over throw the changeup at times, but there's a good one in there. 
2003 Pearson, Kyle  P/OF  6'2  180 R/R  Mosley  Panama City  FL   
Pearson is an athletic P/OF with an outstanding arm. He shows some of the fastest, smoothest arm action we saw at Tropicana. His slider/slurve looks like a big pitch. He works fast and has a ton of talent. Don't be surprised if he becomes a nice pick. 
2003 Persichina, Joseph  SS  6'0  180 L/R  Palos Verdes Peninsula  Rolling Hills Estate  CA   
Persichina has a strong arm and plays the game in a professional manner. He has good instincts and runs close to average He has good body control and seems to be able to make all the plays with apparent ease. As a hitter he is even better. This kid can hit. He has a good approach and has a beautiful swing. Stays inside the ball and finishes high. Quick hands, fast bat, hits hard line drives off good pitching. Real baseball player! 
2003 Porter, Steven  LHP  6'4  195 L/L  West Orange  Ocoee  FL   
Porter is another guy with an excellent body. He's very athletic, can run, throw and hit. As a lefty his future should be on the mound in pro ball. He's a low effort efficient type thrower who should end up high 80s to low 90s. The slider is a good pitch now, but could become a great pitch later on. 
2003 Redmond, Todd  RHP  6'3  185 R/R  Northside Christian  St. Petersburg  FL   
Redmond throws a sinking high 80s fastball. He has a fairly fast arm that works nicely. His body makes him very projectable. We think he will be throwing 90s by next spring. He has the makings of a plus breaking ball, but it still needs to develop a bit more. Should start throwing the slider. Definite prospect. 
2003 Richard, Michael J.  SS  5'11  165 R/R  Barbe  Lake Charles  LA   
Richard is an athletic infielder with lots of tools. He probably projects as a 2B in pro ball. He has outstanding instincts and body control. He has a quick bat, but there are a few things he will need to work on to reach his hitting potential. A spectacular, at times, fielder with good solid tools and a quick bat. That makes him very interesting to scouts. 
FA  Rojas, Benji  5'11  210 R/R  N/A N/A DR   
Rojas has one of the best arms out there. A good defensive catcher who would already be playing pro ball if he hit better. He does flash power potential and a fast bat. All he needs to do is make more contact and it's all there. 
2003 Singleton, Steve  SS  5'10  160 B/R  Bishop O'Dowd  Oakland  CA   
Singleton has outstanding middle infield actions. Good hands and feet, quick reactions and excellent body control. Close to an average runner with enough arm he's one of the better fielders in his class. A switch hitter, he uses his hands equally well at the plate. He flashes some power and as he gets stronger, watchout! A definite highest level DI prospect with a pro future. 
2003 Stephens, Jason E.  RHP  6'4  185 R/R  Tallmadge  Tallmadge  OH   
Stephens is yet another top RHP prospect that showed a great body and a strong arm. Shows pretty good mechanics and arm speed. His fastball will end up in the 90s. Flashes a potential good slider. He could easily become an early pick by next June. 
2003 Stinson, Josh  6'3  190 L/R  Port Neches-Groves  Port Neches  TX   
Stinson put his name on the map in both Ft Myers and Tropicana. He has a strong arm and shows quickness behind the plate. His left-handed bat is very interesting. More of a line drive type who should develop into a power hitter at the next level. Great baseball body with room to get even stronger. Keep a close eye on this kid. 
2003 Watson, Sean  RHP  6'2  210 R/R  Gulliver Prep  Miami  FL   
We like Watson a lot as a RHP with great stuff. He throws 90 with plus life. His breaking ball is a doozy, both the slider and curve. He also flashes a nice changeup. A true competitor, he has it all except for that prototype MLB body scouts look for. Most importantly, he misses bats! 
2003 Zink. J.T.  P/OF  6'2  185 R/R  Curtis  University Place  WA   
Zink is a player and a very good athlete. He does everything well and he has championship type makeup. He was hit in the spine with a 90+ fastball, but refused to take a break. In fact with the middle of his back bruised badly, he went in to pitch. This kid can compete at any level and has the tools to be a top prospect. 
High Honorable Mention Prospects 
2003 Abriola, Derek  P/1B  6'2  195 R/R  Timbercreek  Orlando  FL   
Abriola is a well built RHP/1B with athletic ability. His future is on the mound where he throws MLB average already. He has a nice compact delivery with good balance and a fast arm action. His breaking ball shows a lot of bite and has the makings of a plus pitch. At Tropicana he looked much better out of the windup than he did out of the stretch. 
2003 Barb, Andrew  P/C  6'3  185 R/R  Juanita  Kirkland  WA   
Barb is extremely projectable. He does everything fairly well and he has a great baseball body. We like his future as a pitcher. He's a solid kid who loves the game and he brings a lot of raw ability to the table. Needs to be followed, could be a surprise. 
2003 Baroff, Jason  1B  6'2  210 R/R  Gaither  Tampa  FL   
Baroff is another premium power hitter. Big, strong and with a fast bat, he can hit with power to all fields. The best pitching didn't stop him from making solid contact. He's also a good defensive 1B who can play the game. His tools, other than the bat, won't cause scouts to get bug eyed, but he has rare hitting ability. 
2003 Burrezeo, E. Alexander  P/OF  6'1  178 R/R  Bishop Moore  Orlando  FL   
Burrezeo is a very good athlete with some serious tools and potential. He runs better than MLB averag and has plus arm strength from the outfield. Looks like he can hit, creates bat speed. From the mound he is even more impressive. MLB average fastball, nice breaking ball and the change shows potential. Quick arm! 
2003 Chambers, Brian  RHP  6'2  195 R/R  Jefferson  Tampa  FL   
Chambers is another good RHP prospect. Throws high 80s fairly easily with a quick arm. His slider is real dirty to right-hand hitters. He has a chance to be a star college pitcher with a pro future. 
2003 Colton, Ryan P.  P/OF  6'3  180 R/L  Bishop Moore  Longwood  FL   
Colton is an athletic pitcher/outfielder who can run, hit and throw very well. We like him even better on the mound. He has a fast arm, pitchers body and close to mlb average velocity. Should be in big demand by top college programs and if he improves some by next spring, he could go good in the draft. 
2003 Denson, Doug  P/SS  6'1  185 R/R  Vestaria Hills  Birmingham  AL   
Denson has a good future as a pitcher. He is a good hitter, but he has a chance to be a special pitcher. His arm works well and he has good arm speed. Topped at 88 in Tropicana, but we're sure he has or will throw 90 or better. Also flashes a quality slider and good changeup. He has a tendency to open up his hips a little early. Once he stays closed, watchout. Definite prospect! 
2003 Dykehouse, Robert  C/P  6'2  180 B/R  Oak Hall  Gainesville  FL   
Both Clint and Robert are outstanding athletic baseball players with good baseball bodies. Both run extremely well and Robert is a catcher. He has a chance to be a good outfielder if catching doesn't workout. Both brothers are legitimate high caliber prospects. 
2003 Filipiak, David  RHP  6'1  188 R/R  Laguna Hills  Laguna Hills  CA   
Filipiak is a RHP who you like more each time you see him. He has a MLB average fastball with plus life at times. He's aggressive and looks like one of those super competitors. Not afraid to throw inside. He does need to work a little to refine his breaking ball, but the potential is there. Keep an eye on him. 
2003 Fournier, Christopher  MIF  6'1  180 R/R  Fairfield  Fairfield  CT   
Fournier has improved his running speed a lot. He has a decent arm, but maybe not strong enough to stay on the left side at the highest levels. What he can do at any level is hit. He knows how to hit, schooled well, and the ball jumps off his bat. He's going to end up being a big power guy who hits for a high average down the road. 
2003 Gulla, Andrew  6'0  190 R/R  Chaparral  Phoenix  AZ   
Gulla is a good receiver who shows quickness behind the plate. He will need to improve his arm strength a little to excell at the very highest levels. However, this kid has something that few other catchers can compare with. He can flat out hit good pitching. At Tropicana he hit hard line drive after line drive against the top pitching in the country. His bat can put him in most any college lineup and will draw some pro interest. 
2003 Hamisevicz, Victor  P/1B  6'4  195 L/L  Gonzaga College  Dunn Loring  VA   
Hamisevicz is another guy with that major league look and body. A big guy who can run and hit. In fact, we think he could easily become one of the nations top hitting prospects by next June. We like his swing that much! He also pitches and has a chance that way too. It's hard for us to overlook him as a everyday player. 
2003 Hill, Trent  P/SS  6'2  195 N/A  Walker  Jasper  AL   
Hill is a strong well built athlete with a live arm. He will be a potential 2-way guy in college, but we like his pro future best as a pitcher. He gets good leverage and throws right around 90. He gets a good sharp break on his curve ball and might end up with a good power slider down the road. Also shows a pretty good changeup. He can fill the zone with any pitch. Good arm speed, lots of potential. 
2003 Huegel, Nate  6'0  190 R/R  East Lake  Palm Harbor  FL   
Very good, muscular catcher. Excellent arm strength and some agility behind the plate. Good athlete, runs well for a catcher. He has excellent power potential and he shows a strong swing that produces hard line shots. Built like a major league catcher. 
2003 Jamnik, Jeffrey  P/1B  6'5  235 R/R  Martin  Arlington  TX   
Jamnik is a big, country strong RHP who seems to know how to pitch. We've seen him throw much better than what he showed at Tropicana. With some mechanical adjustments we think he's a consistant 90s. He has a nice breaking ball that nobody seems to hit. He can swing the bat and with power. Definitely a highest caliber college pitcher with pro future. 
2003 LeBlanc, Wade  LHP  6'3  175 L/L  Barbe  Lake Charles  LA   
LeBlanc has a great pitchers body and one of the smoothest, loosest, easy working arms you will see. He only topped at 86 in Tropicana, but he looked good enough to have scouts talking about him. Showed a good change and breaking ball. This kid has a chance to turn it up a few notches and be a solid draft pick. He's definitely a top level college prospect. 
2003 Martinez, Felix  OF  6'1  200 R/R  Felix Varella  Miami  FL   
Martinez is a big strong outfielder who runs very well, throws well and can hit the long ball. He had no problem hitting the ball out of Tropicana in BP and looked good in the games. Perhaps his one drawback is that he does swing and miss a lot. With more consistent contact he would move way up the list. 
2003 McCallister, Michael S.  1B/OF  6'4  210 R/R  Clay  Green Cove Springs  FL   
McCallister is a big, strong athlete with some serious raw power. He projects to hit a lot of home runs down the road. His swing has some loft with good extension. He runs pretty good for a power guy and has a decent arm. His bat could carry him a long ways. 
2003 Moat, Paul  6'1  190 B/L  Sickles  Tampa  FL   
Moat is very interesting. Big strong catcher with a hose. Athletic he even ran close to average. He creates good bat speed and looks like a good low ball hitter. He shows gap power that should turn into out-of-park power in the future. 
2003 Muller, Ryan M.  P/3B  6'1  160 R/R  Live Oak  Morgan Hill  CA   
Muller is a good baseball player who has a chance to be a star college or pro pitcher. He throws 90 with outstanding life. He gets good sharp breaking action on his curve ball at times. His changeup is another potential MLB pitch. Projects! 
2003 Murphy, Brendan H.  1B/3B/C  6'3  210 R/R  Grace Academy  Chattanooga  TN   
Murphy's game revolves around his outstanding power potential. This kid can hit! Power to all fields, quick bat, plus bat speed. Murphy just seems to hit more balls on the sweet spot than other good hitters. He does not have the prototype pro body, but he is country strong. His other skills are very playable, but pale when compared to his hitting ability. 
2003 Orta, Enrique  RHP  6'3  195 R/R  Florida Christian  Miami  FL   
Orta has a good strong pitchers body with a close to average MLB fastball. His heater shows plus life at times. Breaking ball shows promise. Swings the bat fairly well, too. 
2003 Patterson, Michael  RHP  6'1  170 R/R  Seminole  Largp  FL   
Patterson is a RHP who creates some serious whipping action. His fastball is already MLB average. He throws a good curve ball, but needs to add a little speed to it. He's not a big guy, but he still projects. 
2003 Perez, Sergio  RHP  6'1  215 R/R  Leto  Tampa  FL   
Perez is a good looking athlete with a live arm. That arm works loose and fast even though it's a little on the short side. He will throw 90 or better and his best pitch is a nice looking high 70s slider. 
2003 Rhoden, Tyler  RHP  6'3  205 R/R  Bolles  Macclenny  FL   
Rhoden is listed at 6'3 but doesn't look quite that tall. He does have a very good arm and he can pitch. He should end up throwing 90 or better with three good pitches. A very interesting pitching prospect worth following closely. 
2003 Rodriguez, Jorge A.  OF/1B  6'2  200 R/R  Flanagan  Pembroke Pines  FL   
Rodriguez is a good athlete who can hit with outstanding power. He is going to hit and hit the long ball where ever he ends up. He is a good 1B who knows how to play the game. He hit one out to left center in the game at Tropicana. He's a big strong guy who loves to play the game. 
2003 Sarka, Michael Justin  P/OF  6'3  225 R/R  Englewood  Jacksonville  FL   
Big RHP with a high 80s fastball that shows some life. Breaking ball looks promising. Pretty good athlete who shows some power at the plate. 
2003 Satin, Joshua Blake  MIF/3B  6'2  170 R/R  Harvard-Westlake  Hidden Hills  CA   
Satin is an excellent all-round baseball player. His tools don't jump out at you, but his over-all game does. An excellent infielder with enough arm and good actions, he seems to make all the plays. Good hitter, who knows what he's doing at the plate. Shows surprising power and hits lots of line drives. This is a solid baseball player, the kind that end up surprising all the experts. 
2003 Spears, Nate  SS/2B  5'10  150 L/R  Charlotte  Port Charlotte  FL   
Spears is a guy to keep a close eye on. He's a plus runner with a strong infield arm. He covers the ground at SS/2B with good hands and body control. He generates good bat speed with his quick hands and flashes power potential. Real nice swing! Definite high level DI prospect at least. 
2003 Stewart, Timothy  1B/3B/OF  6'2  190 R/R  Mater Dei  Santa Ana  CA   
Stewart is a strong good looking player who will probably end up at 1B at the highest levels. He can hit and has excellent power potential. He smoked a few line drives in Tropicana that opened some eyes. Looks mostly pull right now, but the ball jumps off his bat and the wood makes a loud crack! 
2003 Tellam, Justin Reed  C/1B/3B/OF  6'3  185 R/R  San Clemente  San Clemente  CA   
Tellam is yet another excellent catching prospect with a great body. He has a strong arm, but could use some work on his technique. He shows hitting ability, ball jumps off his bat. Should hit for power. A good athlete who needs to be followed closely. 
2003 Venters, Jonathan  P/OF  6'3  165 L/L  Lake Brantley  Longwood  FL   
Venters is a good athlete with a live projectable body. As a LHP he shows a lot of ability, but we like him as a player even more. A plus runner, good arm and a nice swing. He handles the wood pretty well and he's going to get much stronger. Someone to keep close tabs on. 
2003 Watkins, Ahmir  OF  5'9  160 L/L  Blackman  Murfreesboro  TN   
Watkins is a speedster with an average MLB arm. He's very much your prototype leadoff type hitter. He uses the whole field, especially with two strikes. He stays inside the ball, with a quick short stroke and runs like hell. He does flash some power potential, also. 
2003 Wright, Steven  P/3B/1B  6'3  195 R/R  Valley View  Moreno Valley  CA   
Wright is a fairly polished pitcher who we have seen throw harder than he showed at Tropicana. He has a good pitchers physique and he shows some athletic ability. He will need to put a couple clicks on that fastball to go high in the draft and he probably will. He has a nice fluid, easy arm action and knows how to pitch. Also showed a pretty impressive bat. 
2003 Yarbrough, Brandon S.  6'2  175 L/R  Richmond Senior  Ellerbe  NC   
Yarbrough is an athletic catcher who can run and throw. His receiving skills continue to improve. He plays the game the right way and at 100%. His #1 tool is still his bat. He's an outstanding line drive hitter who projects to hit with plus power. He can handle the wood, beautiful smooth swing, gets good extension and good bat speed.
