TOP 20 PROSPECTS

1. Jon Duplantier, rhp, Santa Barbara Foresters (Rice/SO in 2015)
Duplantier put together an impressive freshman campaign for the Owls, and continued his successful ways this summer in the California Collegiate League. Duplantier is an athletic 6-foot-4, 210-pounder, who tallied a 1.50 ERA in 54 innings of work. He also struck out 74 and walked 17. Duplantier showed a sizable velocity jump with his fastball, sitting 90-95 this summer with some sink, while also showcasing an above-average slider. Duplantier showed a good, easy delivery this past summer, while also working his fastball well on both sides of the plate, and also showed a swing-and-miss slider at times. Duplantier also showed good feel for his changeup, and should be a Friday or Saturday starter for the Owls in 2015.

2. Alec Hansen, rhp, San Luis Obispo Blues (Oklahoma/SO in 2015)
Hansen has the upside to become Oklahoma's next great pitcher and elite prospect. He has a big-time arm, and though he made a limited number of appearances with a 4.76 ERA last season, he showed plenty of upside. Hansen, a massive 6-foot-7, 235-pounder, tallied a 4.60 ERA in 31 1/3 innings of work, along with 52 strikeouts and 22 walks this past summer. Hansen sat in the mid-90s, getting up to 98 at times, and he has a good, hard slider that sits 86-87. While he continues to develop a changeup, Hansen should be a consistent, elite arm for the Sooners if he can throw three quality pitches in the spring.

3. Jaylin Davis, of, Santa Barbara Foresters (Appalachian State/JR in 2015)
Davis, an athletic outfielder, had a good, but not great spring for the Mountaineers, but he's ready to take the next step forward after a very impressive summer with the Foresters. Davis batted .341 with seven homers and 32 RBI this summer and he also tallied 10 stolen bases. Davis is a very athletic and strong player, displaying plus power throughout the summer. However, some coaches in the league said Davis tends to swing and miss a little too much. Davis has above average speed and good defensive actions in the outfield.

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 James Watson (2030, Canton, Ga.) showed the two-way upside to start bracket play for East Cobb Astros 15u. On the mound the right-handed pitcher went three innings and with three strikeouts and spread five hits and two walks for three runs. Watson works from a hybrid windup from the middle-of-the-rubber into a small heel-turn and an around-the-belt leg lift before using drop-and-drive back leg mechanics into a longer, in-line stride down the mound. Showed some feel to get extension down the mound. The hands separate into a moderate arm action before accelerating through from an over-the-top arm angle. The fastball ran up to 86 with arm-side run and life. Paired it with a curveball with 11-5 shape and solid two-plane break. Mixed in a change-up in the upper- 70s with some vertical depth. Competed at the top of the zone well. Athletic...

WWBA Freshman Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 Carson Garzaniti (2029, Jupiter, Fla.) showed the barrel feel all game for West Boynton Cobras. The right-handed hitter starts from a spread stance with his weight shifted forward and in-line feet with a high handset and an even back elbow, utilizes a heel lift weight transfer trigger. Creates some separation in the back shoulder and uncoils the lower half with a short, direct hand path and extension out front from a slightly uphill bat plane. Good bat speed in the swing with some feel to impact. The catcher has shown the barrel accuracy all event with three hits, including a double and triple, to drive in four RBI and has come around to score five runs. Lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame with feel to generate power working ground up from the back leg. Exciting player that has been swinging a hot stick through pool play.  ...

WWBA World Championship Notes: Day 1 ‘27 C Joshua Digulio (TX) opened the morning in Cacti Park with a bang. In his first at-bat of the morning, Digulio crushed an 0-2 fastball. The right-handed hitter powered a fly-ball through the Florida morning humidity off the back wall of the left field bullpen for a no-doubt solo shot. Everybody in the stadium knew it was gone as soon as he made contact. The catcher also worked a walk in his only other plate appearance. His home run was the only hit in the game, providing Texas Brigade 2027 a 1-0 win.  ‘27 MIF Xavier Martin (IL) woke up the stadium with an electric swing. The right-handed hitter was sitting dead-red on a 2-0 heater, got it, and torched it. Martin scorched a line drive all the way over the left field bullpen, as the ball cleared a near 20-foot wall and bounced onto the concourse. It was a two-run shot for the...

Mixed in a late breaking 12/6 curveball at 78 mph that induces weak contact and showed excellent feel for a CH that mimics the FB delivery.
