Scouts on hand to watch Montverde Academy
SS Francisco Lindor, will also get a look at two of the top draft prospects in the 2012 class. Olympia features
RHP Walker Weickel and
OF Jesse Winker, ranked #10 and #16 in the 2012 class. Lindor has not disappointed this year and is positioning himself to be the first high school bat of the board, he will get competition from outfielders Bubba Starling and Josh Bell. Lindor has shown more power this year and has added strength.
Weickel is a big, strong 6'6 pitcher who throws on a plus downhill plane. His fastball has been up to 93 and he is also a very good athlete (6.78 60) which allows him to repeat his delivery. He also would be a top prospect as a power hitting outfielder, but his future is on the mound as he could be one of the first high school arms off the board in 2012.
Winker is a smooth swinging left-handed outfielder with lots of power, quick hands and the ability to go the other way. He projects as a power hitting corner outfielder and has shown 90 mph arm strength from the outfield.
