  George Walkow   OF   Downers Grove North (IL)     2-5-23 - PBR Illinois @PBRIllinois OF/3B George Wolkow  (@gwolkow19) with one of the better rounds of BP on the day - 101.8 mph max EV - 410’ max distance.  Recorded a 6.75 in the 60 to start his day 9-17-22 - Perfect Game Iowa  @IowaPG   George Wolkow  (‘23, OF/3B, IL)   Physical XL frame. Plus runner for size. Smooth LH stroke w/ massive power projection. Just misses this pitch, nearly sending it over the RF fence. South Carolina commit.   https://t.co/wzPlZqfzJR     7-26-22 - 2023 MLB DRAFT - TOP 100 HIGH SCHOOL PROSPECTS -   https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-38awn     41   OF/3B   George Wolkow Downers Grove North, Downers Grove, IL   Wolkow is an absolutely massive left-handed slugger with huge bat speed and an affinity for loft. Wolkow reclassified into the 2023 class, so he'll be extremely young for the draft, fitting for a "kid" his size. Wolkow is lauded for his at

UPDATED RESEACH - 2023 Draft Prospect - C - Zion Rose

    Zion Rose   C            IMG Academy (FL)   2-3-23 - Ian Smith @FlaSmitty C Zion Rose  is one of the most physically gifted and tooled up players in the 2023 class, if he starts lifting the ball consistently, LOOK OUT. 12-28-22 - 2023 MLB Draft – Top 50 High School Prospects https://www.prospects1500.com/general/2023-mlb-draft-top-50-high-school-prospects/ 12. Zion Rose , C, Brothers Rice HS (IL) – Any evaluator will tell you they have favorite prospects even if they are the best prospect, Rose is easily my favorite prep prospect this year, and he is quickly moving towards being one of the best. He is an excellent athlete with above-average speed and quick actions behind the dish and soft hands receiving. Despite being a one-knee blocker, he does so quick enough that he stays square on the ball and doesn’t have the passed ball risk that often comes with that setup. At the plate he has a quick bat with easy pop and will spoil a pitcher’s best pitches with 2 strikes to get a pit

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP - Jackson Baumeister

  Jackson Baumeister   RHP               Florida State   2022 FSU stat line - 19-G, 2-ST, 1-2, 5.60, 27.1-IP,  41-K   2-6-23 - Prospect Live - Top 100 Prospects  - 52 RHP Jackson Baumeister Florida State Baumeister possesses a premier body with long levers, feel for tempo, as well as balance and fluidity. This is how you build a starting pitcher. He's been up to 97, but more commonly sits 93-94 with two wicked breaking balls, the slider being the better of his two benders. He's also got a changeup. There's a ton of projection on Baumeister and it's an arm with very little mileage on it. Developing a more dynamic fastball shape and learning to pitch backwards will be the next checkpoints in Baumeister's career. 12-9-22 - 2022 Fall Report: Florida State   https://d1baseball.com/fall-report/2022-florida-state/?goal=0_98c95d11a2-efdc4df70c-36911606&mc_cid=efdc4df70c&mc_eid=b3ee91b95b     The Seminoles remain well stocked with power arms, headlined by thr

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP - Patrick Reilly

  Patrick Reilly   RHP             Vanderbilt   2022 Vandy stat line - 17-G, 3-ST, 2-3, 4.99, 52.IP, 69-K,  35-BB 2-6-23 - Prospect Live - Top 100 Prospects  - 60 RHP Patrick Reilly Vanderbilt Being overshadowed by the likes of Kumar Rocker, Jack Leiter, and even Christian Little when he arrived in Nashville, Reilly has been a relatively well-kept secret. Reilly features a smooth and fluid delivery that comfortably projects into a rotation moving forward. The fastball has been up into the upper-90s, though he mostly rests in the mid-90s over longer outings. Reilly misses a ton of bats with the heater, though throwing more strikes early in counts with the pitch is the next step in his development. He features a slider that can be downright gnarly when he's got command of the pitch. It's got sharp two-plane break and impressive tunneling characteristics that can be hell on opposing hitters. He's also got some feel for turning over a changeup as well. Reilly has a lot of c

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP - Noble Meyer

  Noble Meyer   RHP   Jesuit HS   2-6-23 - Prospect Live - Top 100 Prospects  - 22. Noble Meyer Right-Handed Pitcher, Jesuit Jesuit HS in Portland, Oregon has become a total pitching factory. From Mick Abel to Nelson Keljo, Jesuit has a knack for developing arms. Meyer burst onto the scene during the 2022 showcase circuit with a fastball up to 98 featuring arm-side run and some ride. It's a deceptive slot that's tough to pick up too. His slider works into the mid-80s with sweeping action and short vertical tilt. Meyer offers a mid-80s changeup that lags behind his other two weapons, but shows enough promise for scouts to slap a future 50 grade on the off-speed offering. Meyer is also an impressive athlete coming from a 6-foot-5, long, lanky frame. He checks a lot of boxes. 2-1-23 - MaxiPreps  - High school baseball: Top 10 MLB Draft prospects entering the 2023 season - 5.

He is one of the better defenders in this class. 11-30-22 - PG/Rawlings Finest in the Field: 2023 - https://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=21485&s=03  -   Middle Infield: TJ Pompey , Coppell HS (Coppell, Texas)   Pompey is a long and lean 6-foot-4, 185 pounds with plenty of quick-twitch athleticism and a really good glove. He made some ridiculously difficult plays look routine over the summer and his excellent first-step quickness and range give him huge defensive upside. 10-6-22 - Shooter Hunt @ShooterHunt   ‘23 SS TJ Pompey (TX)   6’3” 175  TTU Baseball recruit   102+ mph exit velo 6.5 60-yard 93 mph across 9-28-22 -  https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PBR/The-Rise-of-the-Texas-Shortstop-9652817304?s=03  -   Leading this year’s draft talent is SS TJ Pompey (Coppell
