*College commitment information is submitted by players and college coaches
Vince Howard
OF - 2009 - Sikeston, MO
Merrimack
Howard hit the ball hard all weekend including an opposite field triple from the left side. He showed the compact swing(s) to handle good D1 pitching and also ran a laser-timed 6.64 60 yard-dash. With improved footwork, he should have a center fielder’s arm and also good range for a D1 program.
Alonzo "Beau" Buckler
3B - 2009 - Norcross, GA
Uncommitted
Buckler has the most upside of the group. A very athletic and projectable-bodied 6-3, Buckler was very smooth defensively and showed a solid-average major league arm. Despite below-average MLB speed (7.3 60 yd), Buckler’s feet work well at third base. The stick is slower to come along, but he generates some bat-speed and has good balance at the plate. The raw tools are there to become a good draft pick out of college.
Dillon Cordell
RHP - 2009 - Sarasota, FL
Uncommitted
Cordell threw consistently in the mid-80s with a sharp downer curveball. But what stood out most was his pitchability. Cordell carved up opposing hitters and yielded nothing but grounders. His delivery was sound and athletic, with fluid arm-action going over-the-top. Cordell can help a small D1 or high-D2 immediately and there’s enough projection to make him a potential draft in 2012 or 2013.
Phillip Steer
MIF - 2009 - Scarborough, ON CAN
Uncommitted
The live-bodied middle infielder played with high energy and was a pesky out. Steer showed a quick bat and ran a solid 6.8 60 yd. He projects as a plus defensive second baseman at the high-D1 level with the possibility of playing shortstop despite a long release on his throws. Steer could turn into a #1/#2 hitter in the lineup.
Israel Hernandez
MIF - 2009 - Homestead, FL
Uncommitted
The long, lanky Hernandez showed body control and a future average major league arm for the infield. His mature approach at the plate gives him a chance to become a solid high-D1 hitter as well. With a body that’s screaming for projection, Hernandez will get stronger in the coming years. He ran a 7.02 60 yard-dash.
Jacob Dameron
RHP - 2009 - Pelham, NC
Uncommitted
Dameron showcased a heavy 81-86 MPH fastball that opponents couldn’t hit in the air. He’s a very good athlete with a smooth delivery. Dameron’s second pitch, a curveball, should also become quality for mid- or high-D1. His easy arm-action gives him a chance to throw harder down the road.
Ian Graham
C - 2009 - Marietta, GA
Uncommitted
The best catcher of the group, Graham played hard and showed he can more than handle the backstop defensively for a big school. Graham showed good hands and popped in the 1.9s during the workout. Graham also hit well over the weekend and made adjustments at the plate.
Kyle Robertson
RHP - 2009 - Granite City, IL
Uncommitted
The large-bodied righty worked quickly and threw 81-85 MPH with good sink. He also showed a downward curveball that will improve to a quality D1 pitch. Robertson will have to watch his weight with age, but he’s plenty strong and likely durable for the long run.
Nate White
1B - 2009 - Manassas, VA
Uncommitted
White showed the most hitting upside of the group. With a long, lanky, projectable body, White also generates good bat-speed and the potential for power in the future. His actions are long in the field and he’ll have to work hard to become a solid defender at first.
Andre Colon
RHP - 2009 - Lakeworth, FL
Uncommitted
A strongly built 5-10 righty, Colon doesn’t project so much to pro scouts but he has the present-day stuff and pitchability to win quickly for a small or mid-D1 college. He’s very athletic for a pitcher with a strong core and lower half. Colon located his 85 MPH fastball to all quadrants and could also spot his curveball.
