12-2-22 - 2023 MLB Draft: Ten Rising Hitters To Watch - https://d1baseball.com/prospects/2023-mlb-draft-ten-rising-hitters-to-watch/ - 

Matthew Etzel, CF, Southern Mississippi– Originally at Texas A&M his freshman year, Etzel transferred to Panola College (Tex.) for his sophomore season where he slashed .433/.509/.711. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound left handed hitter continued to excel this past summer in the MLB Draft League where he was regarded as the highest riser and best pure hitter (.371/.463/.586 with more walks (19) than strikeouts (13). He continued to put all parts of his game together this fall in Hattiesburg. Etzel’s innate bat-to-ball skills, superior strike zone awareness and plus speed give him top-of-the-lineup upside. Currently it’s a hit over power profile, but it’s safe to project double-digit homers as he matures given his barrel awareness. Defensively, he shows slightly above average arm strength with carry and accuracy, strong instincts and the closing speed to reach batted balls that usually fall in for base hits. He will likely patrol center field for the Eagles this spring. Talk of the next Reed Trimble, albeit in a larger, stronger frame, has already begun.

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - LHP - Matthew Dallas

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

Right now it's gap-to-gap juice with a willingness to sell out for the pull-side when provided the opportunity. Stafura is bouncy and twitchy on the dirt with a big, plus throwing arm that can handle either spot on the left side of the infield.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 77 SS Sammy Stafura Walter Panas A double-plus runner with budding bat speed, Stafura has tools he can maximize as he grows into his body.

  Eli Ramsey OF/LHP Millington (TN)     12-19-22   -   Perfect Game Scout   @PG_Scouting   Eli Ramsey  (2023 Millington, TN.) drops the head into this fastball and drills a hard grounder to right for a single. Good job hitting with 2-strikes and not doing too much. Good bat control to the baseball.   https://t.co/3BYlb2gHRU     10-5-22 - Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Part 2 -  https://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=21312&s=03  -   Eli Ramsey , OF/LHP, Millington, Tenn. Class of 2023 | PG Rank: 500 Wow Factor National   Not many in the country have the two-way talent he employs. The lefty bat shows a really high-level ability to find barrels through the middle of the yard; batting a career .405 through 200 at-bats in perfect game events. He sets up with an open stance that works into a hearty load. There’s violence through the zone with definite power projection. He adds plenty of value on the moun...
