| 1. Doug Frame |
LHP |
6'2/195 |
L/L |
Tomball |
Tomball, TX |
| Real Deal left-hander with 2 plus pitches that included a 91mph lively fastball and hard curve. He looks a bit shorter than 6'2, but his ability and outstanding arm action are undeniable. He could easily surface as one of the top lefties for next years draft. |
| 2. Joshua Rodriguez |
SS |
6'0/165 |
R/R |
S. Houston |
Houston, TX |
| Plus bat-speed, from a beautiful swing. He showed some serious hitting ability for a high school shortstop. Big arm, smooth and quick resulting in 87mph across the inf. He can really pick it and shows good speed with lots of range. Big surprise, someone to watch closely! |
| 3. Patrick Freeman |
RHP |
6'1/190 |
R/R |
Key West |
Key West, FL |
| Athletic pitcher that has shown 90+ velocity every time we see him. The same arm speed on his change-up which is a potential plus pitch. Showed some ability to spin the ball. We see him as a possible power pitcher in Pro ball. Very strong build. |
| 4. Kyle McCulloch |
P/SS |
6'2/170 |
R/R |
Bellaire |
Houston, TX |
| Loose arm that showed an 88-89 mph fastball, we've seen him 90 or better more than once. good change and a tough hammer. Good SS, too. |

| 8. Mark Hamilton |
1B |

L/L |
Episcopal |
Bellaire, TX |
| Plus power in a nice looking left-handed swing. He is a big strong player that plays a pretty good first base. He also pitched, but his future will be determined by his bat. If he works a little on his body, he would be just that much more intriguing. His power potential is very interesting to say the least. He should be followed closely. |
